Shoulder Press 3-3-3-3-3-3-3 reps

Post load to comments.

Compare to 080709.

It is important to communicate your times and/or the weight you moved by posting them to the comments section. It is especially important to do this on strength days as it serves as a base upon which each member can track progress. Notice that the above sentence asking you to compare to 080709 is a link to a post from that date which was the last time we shoulder pressed. Those that posted what they accomplished can now go back and see what how they did last time and if they improved upon those numbers this go round.

CrossFit is more than just a hard workout. It is about improving ones strength and vitality through optimal training. Never lose sight of that. Progress is progress. Periodization is a neccessity and strength days allow me the opportunity to expose you to it, thus  is the reason for 5x5 followed by 7x3, and lastly 10x1. 

The comments section is for communicating socially but foremost it is your log book. Post your times not for comparison between others but rather for comparison between your own workouts. Prove or dis-prove that CrossFit is working for you or at the least find where you need to improve and do so.

I posted yesterday a link to a wonderful website on responsible eating that I want every one to at least take a look at it. I have noticed of late that many of you look sluggish, strength-less, and withdrawn. How are your diets? Your diet must be important to you. Joe and I don't always practice the best eating habits but we do eat and at most times we try and get vital nutrients in from meat and vegetables and we always make sure we get in enough fats (good ones). 

It is important for you all to focus your attention to what you are putting into your bodies. It doesn't have to be weighed and measured all the time but just think about the choices you make. Keep it clean when you can. Try and eat vegetables. Eat almonds, avocadoes, macadamia nuts, olive oil, and other healthy fats. Eat protein with every meal. Try and get in 5 to 7 meals (full meals) in a day. Always eat breakfast and no that doesn't mean pop-tarts. Drink plenty of water. That's the jist of it. 

I think it's time for a seminar for you guys concerning eating. It won't be like the last. There won't be a power-point just a sit-down Q and A. An opportunity for everyone to pick my brain. And Joe's. Post to comments if you would be interested in this and if there are enough people, I'll set things up and find a date.

  2. Totally in for the nutrition Q & A. If you held it weekly, and made me be accountable, I wouldn't be opposed to that either. lol
  3. John W Says:
  4. I think a nutrition Q&A would be great, I need to get a routine down when it comes to diet.
  5. BC Says:
  6. Definitely down for learning how to eat better. I would also be in favor of weeknight CrossFit curfews...why am I still awake?!? Night-night.
  7. Mark Says:
  8. I'd be in for a good Q&A session because my diet is horrendous. I'd also be interested in having people share some of their meal ideas because I am a horrible cook and really, the last thing I want to do after work and CrossFit is come home and spend an hour cooking.
  9. Unknown Says:
  10. I would also be interested in a Q & A session for my diet. Esp when it comes to competition time and I think I tend to overload my body with stuff making me feel sluggish while competing. Is that possible?

  12. I like Allison's idea of an accountability program. Maybe we can post our daily diets on the blog to give one another an idea and to keep accountable.

  14. I got to 88#x3 93x2 then did 8 at 74#. I am in with everyone else of eating better.
  15. JonD Says:
  16. I think a Q & A would be good as well. and looking forward to the workout today hope I can find time. See yall soon

  18. diet is so important. i get cranky when i don't eat well. i am about to go away for the weekend and i started having mild anxiety about what i am going to eat. "what if they don't feed me enough protein?!" i asked my GF last night. i am packing at last 4 turkey sandwiches. I know what you're thinking...all that bread! you don't know how much turkey i put on there. they're pretty close to zone-appropriate.

  20. I would love a Q&A and a swift kick in the arse to help me eat better! I really like Allison's idea too, gosh she is smart. I think more of a buddy system would work, so Ricky and Joe and keep answering questions and training us. Just a suggestion!

  34. It's interesting to see the comments and notice that there is a small market/demand available if someone wants to take the time to fill it. Seriously, if someone would take the time to pack me a take-home paleo or zone friendly meal, i'd pay. Any entrepreneurs?

  36. First the Q & A session scares me because I would like to Q but I don't know that I will like the A. :)

    Steve all of your requests answered, not so sure the food will still be good by the time it gets to you but it is being done.

    It is a great opportunity to start a business if you enjoy cooking.

    I can just see you going through security with your sandwiches in gallon sized ziplock bags. The TSA agents are going to be watching you closely with your dangerous sandwiches.
  45. Donohoe Says:
  46. I would love a Q & A session on eating with emphasis about apporiate fat consuption and choices. I know how I eat affects me emotionally and physically.
    I did 175 x2.5( very hard not to dip and drive when I struggled on last rep) then I did 115x 7....
    looking forward to party....

  60. Final for me was:
    Rnd 6 63x2
    Rnd 7 58x3 (had to drop back down :-()

    Great job everyone! There was some good weight being pushed tonight!
  61. Steve Says:
  62. hannah-seriously?!?! publish what the meal option is for the next day, take orders, have them available after the noon, 5:30 and 6:30 class. how much per meal?
  63. A Says:
  64. ARG@ Actually did more than last time - Did 75# X 2, but COULD NOT get number three for the life of me. Then did 60# X 10. This was so much fun, though! So I must say, for whatever reason, my attitude is A LOT better. I actually look forward to strength days now. May not be the strongest chick out there, but I'm liking the process. Thank you SO MUCH Ricky, for helping me with butterfly kips - I kind of "get it" a little better now. :-) Way to go Katy, with the kipping pullups! Also props to GregO with his mad rhythm on the PUs. I LOVE CROSSFIT! :-)
  65. Mark Says:
  66. Last time I got 145# for my 1 rep max so I was trying for that for 3 reps. I did:

    98 x 3
    108 x 3
    118 x 3
    128 x 3
    135 x 3
    145 x 2 failed on 3
    145 x 2 failed on 3
    145 x 1 time to move on

    After that I did 98# x 13 and I was spent. Great strength day!!
  67. ZachR Says:
  68. Finished with 138x2 and 132x3. Both are PRs for me so it was a good day. I then did 'Annie' with Angela. See everyone on Saturday morning.
  69. Anonymous Says:
  70. I got up to 63# today, tried to get 68, but no luck. Then with 55# I did 5 in a row. After that I worked on Annie, I got 31 DU in a row!!! Yippie Skippy!!

Thanks For Visiting!
