The CrossFit Diaries: Double AMRAP, Double the Fun
After going squats on Monday, I was pumped to see dead lifts this morning. I’m not overly sore from squats on Monday (found out I had the second heaviest overall, kind of pumped about that) so getting in some quality leg work with the dead lifts was a treat. Here’s the workout for today: Strength/Skill: … Continue reading
The CrossFit Diaries: Football Strong
After another great weekend, I was happy to be able to sleep in on Monday particularly after staying up to watch the end of game 4 of the World Series. (Go Sox!). After a solid day at work, it was off to the gym for the evening workout. I knew what I was walking into, … Continue reading
The CrossFit Diaries: Nasty Girls
Big Friday morning today. Woke up feeling solid and was to the gym super early (waited like 10 minutes in my car before Jason was there to open it up). Stretched, did a little foam rolling and then it was time to get going. Hit the Airdyne for warm up. We went through the usual … Continue reading
The CrossFit Diaries: Night Cap

The CrossFit Diaries: Friday’s Ferocious Fractured Fran

I knew it was going to be a tough one when everyone who came in and looked at the board with the work out said “Oh … Continue reading
The CrossFit Diaries: Hiatus Haiku
I took last week off because I had a nasty little sinus/chest cold that I didn’t want to spread. Then I was gone Thursday and Friday to grouse hunt (which was awesome and also a lot of burned calories there. The lead image is from the dock on the lake we were staying on). On … Continue reading
The CrossFit Diaries: Sprawl balls aka Satan’s Ball Toss
Today it is a little cold, damp and over cast. Just another beautiful Milwaukee morning. So to say I didn’t expect to sweat like a whore in church this morning is a bit of an overstatement. I certainly knew I’d be sweaty. I knew I’d be the sweatiest guy there. It is how I normally … Continue reading
The CrossFit Diaries: Lucky Number Quatro
Quick background on why the number 4 is my lucky number. Growing up, Brett Favre was my favorite player (on offense, defense it was Brian Urlacher. I know he’s a Bear, but he was everything I wanted to be in a LB). My junior and senior years of football I wore the number 4 as … Continue reading
