Well, a lot has happened since my last post. I got in touch with Josh, the head coach at CrossFit Eternal talking to him about competition training. I went in and trained with his athletes that made it to regionals, or are very close. This group of people is called the dragon slayers lol. The work volume is very intense and very heavy. This is something I have been preparing for, and what my goal is for CrossFit.
Saturday-
Strength
5x5 back squat- I worked up to 335 in this, but my legs were a little sore from squatting the day before. I wish I could have done a little more, but it was a solid squat session.
We then practiced max distance handstand walk, which I PR'd big time with about 10 feet. I never do any sort of practice being upside down.
WOD-
20 min- Even Minutes-Push Press 155# 15reps, Odd minutes- Kettlebell swings 72# 15 reps. I was able to make it through 4 whole minutes. I have neve swang the 72# kettlebell, or done 155# on push press for multiple reps. I dropped down and for the rest of the time i did 5 push press and 8 kettlebell swings. This was very humbling, but exactly what I need.
After, we did some core strengthening- 25 GHD situps and 1min weighted plank holds, 5 rounds. This is another weakness of mine and Josh told me just to stick to 2 rounds.
I had a TON of fun there, working with an amazing coach and people that are like-minded. We all have the same goals and all pushed each other. The dragon slayers are a very tight nit group, and I feel very honored to be welcomed by them. So, as of tomorrow, we will be training at Crossfit Eternal in Charlotte. Tiffany was also very welcomed and told that she has a lot of potential and will be put on a competition type programming as well. We are very excited for this and can not wait to get started and see the results.
