CF San Diego

My new home for 2 months. Got hooked up with an unlimited membership and I can lift whenever the f I want, so pretty sweet deal.

In case you didn't know, this is a posterior chain. Use some discretion in clicking that link, nothing pornographic but maybe not something you want plastered across your 24" display at work. I was googling posterior chain and that fine example came up.

Got to the gym 45 mins before the class started this afternoon - worked up to a heavy C&J (205#) then backed off and did a few lighter reps. Still need a lot of work.

Warmup for the class was cool cause there were some different elements that I haven't seen before or thought of to do in a warmup. Started with two laps around the block, probably around 1200m total. Then did some line drills to loosen up. The two that stood out were kicking up into a hand stand and walking a few paces if you could and doing cartwheels alternating sides. If you think about the last time you did a cartwheel you probably did it on whichever side felt most comfortable. Fast forward to now when the last time you tried a cartwheel was like 15 years ago, and then try doing one on your weak side without completely eating it. Good challenge - I'll have to hit up some of CFSD's dedicated gymnastics classes (they call it gymnasty).

Then we took 15 mins to work up to a heavy C&J, with an extra set of eyes on me I realized very little I've been working on has stuck. Namely getting full hip extension before pulling myself under the bar.

WOD:

Annie
50-40-30-20-10
Double unders
Ab mat situps

9:32

Notes: took 4 mins off my previous time in Nov which is nice, though wasn't very hard b/c the double unders were all that was holding me back in the past. I could probably drop 30 secs off this time, my double unders weren't great today, should be able to do them unbroken. Situps were slow, evidenced by the fact that I finished at exactly the same time as the girl next to me but I had about a 20 sit up head start on her when she started her first round.

Looking forward to the next two months of lifting/meeting new people/probably getting my ass kicked more than I'm used to.
