First off, Bumper says the radiologist thinks my xrays are normal, which means I'm back to square one with my back.
Secondly, I don't do well in a workout that I should have excelled in. Hell, I don't even finish the whole thing.
Third, I lose in a footrace to Kehau, seen above. Mostly because I am slow and still fat but also because she is faster. A little anyway.
Once again, let's start from the beginning. Well, from the workout part anyway. I'm like whatever about the xrays already.
So yesterday's workout was deadlifts and handstand pushups. I rock at those.
Except it was sets of 21-15-9 reps. Of 225 pounds for deadlifts.
Hmmmm . . . could be a problem.
Not to mention we did deadlifts for strength. I kinda wasted myself too going a little heavier than I should have.
Anyway, I grind out the first 21 reps and it's hard. Then I get upsidedown for the handstands and my shoulders and back are already tired.
This is a new sensation for me. Ask anyone at RFM. I pump out those handstand PU's like there's no tomorrow.
Except for yesterday. Brah. My shoulders were cabbage and my back was sore from the deadlifts.
So I try to go back to do the 15 reps for deadlifts and I just can't. I end up skipping those and just doing the remaining sets of HSPU's just so I can respect myself in the morning.
Sigh. HSPU's were my redemption workout. When all else fails I still could be proud of those.
What do I have now?
(Please pause for a moment for a pity party).
Okay, that's done with. Moving on.
I should mention before this that before the WOD Kehau and I had a little race.
Yeaaaaaaahhhh, I kinda threw down the challenge and she said let's do it.
Faaaackkkk....
So we went across the street to the Hongwanji parking lot and did the whole thing. On your mark, get set, go.
I was running close to her but she was ahead of me the whole time. In the end I pulled back but it wasn't like I was going to overtake her. I just didn't want my ass in the street and getting hit by a car.
Good one Kehau. Guess I wrote a check my legs couldn't cash.
Some of you may ask why I decided to challenge one of the coaches, who have been training for much longer and are all in much better shape than I. (They are the coaches after all.)
Well, I can't help it. I'm the guy that talks for effect. I like going all in with nothing in my hand, just to see the other guy flinch.
One of my horoscopes once said, "You think you can get away with anything, even if there's no chance in hell."
Yes, that's me. But you know, it's a good match for Crossfit. Finally I have a chance to put a little action behind my words.
Texas hold'em anyone?
Later,
Rod
