Catalyst helps maintain muscle mass during exercise and weight management. It is a good recovery tool because it contains branched-chain amino acids and L-glutamine, L-arginine, and taurine. I use it 3 times a day, pre-workout, post workout and in between meals.

Obliterated

This is a picture of the second WOD of the day during the double unders.

Well, yesterday for all intensive purposes was a success. My worries about the first WOD turned out to be not a big deal. The 185# cleans were heavy and slowed me down, but I finished and never failed a rep. We don't know for sure the final outcome of the comp, but I know I didn't win. I had fun and am continuing to learn what I need to do to get better.

WOD 1 - 8:52
WOD 2 - 6:24
WOD 3 - 5:10

Combined Score - 20:26

Today- Rest Day

Obliteration

Tomorrow is Oktoberfest Obliteration, put on by CrossFit Champions in Cypress, Texas. I and nearly 20 other competitors from CSCF are heading down to compete. It should be an amazing day. There are 3 individual WODs and 2 team WODs, as well as master WODs. I know we have two teams who are going to be in the running for a V. I will be competing as an individual athlete in the males standard division.

WOD 1

In any order

3x 200m Run
3x5 Squat Cleans @ 185#
3x20 Kb Swing @ 60#

10 min Cut Off


WOD 2

3 rounds for time:

10 Renegade Man Makers
15 Double Unders


WOD 3

2x 525m Run

1st lap- 40# Weight Vest + 80# Sandbag

2nd lap- Just the 40# Weight Vest


Yesterday I did one round of the first WOD and failed the 5th rep of the squat cleans. To be honest I am nervous about finishing that WOD. If I can just get through it I know I can keep myself competitive through the other WODs. WOD 1 is less a function of go factor and more a function of weight for me. The others will be all go factor.

Box Squat?

Check out this video


Today I did box squats with Zach. I did 3 sets of 10 box squats staying very light at 135# just to work on balance and core strength. With Octoberfest on Saturday I need to take it easy. Daren said that I should take today off, but I really wanted to do some squats, so what are you gonna do.

Tomorrow is a busy day, with training and workouts, but we'll have Friday off for sure leading up to competition.

So-Lo

I had to ride solo today during Claudia. No one from the CSCF team was able to workout with me at the time I could workout. I did it in (11:35) it was pretty hard.

"Claudia"

5 rounds for time:

20 Kb swings
400m run

harjoituksen päivä

Yesterday I did a warm up with the circuit and 2 400m runs, then I did a mile at a good pace (5:23) after that I went inside and did 3 rounds of 5 DL @ 235, 10 Db Presses, and 8 Push-ups then 21-15-9 GHD sit-ups, and pull-ups. After that I ran another mile (5:33). I am taking this week easy because I want to keep myself fresh for Octoberfest on Saturday in Cypress Texas. There will be 3 individual events, and we have no idea what we are doing yet. More to come on that... Today I do Claudia, and will post my time after I do it on CSCF main page and here.

Yesterday was the start of a new on-ramp for the month of October. We had 16 new crossfitters!
