This evening we were able to go out on the patio and do a WOD together. We spent the earlier part of the day running around and then planting the plants in the garden.

I was feeling pretty good this morning. I was anxious to get a WOD in before we did anything else. I ended up getting my deadlifts in too.

My knee still feels a little weak if I step wrong going down the stairs, but it’s fine. Even with that, my heavy deadlifts today felt great. I just felt well-connected to the bar and weight.

I don’t know for sure why, but my knee is bugging me today. It just feels weak. Even so, I did my heavy squats and they felt great!

cI haven’t enjoyed a lot of SP’s recent programming, and I haven’t kept it a secret. At least it’s not been months of WODs that are constantly varied Murph Preparation like our old gym used to do.

This morning, I decided to get out of my comfort zone with the shift version of the WOD. Having done a shit ton of pull-ups yesterday, the burpee pull-ups were out, so I did shift and ring rows instead.

It has been quite a while since I played with the strongman sandbag. This evening the weather was cooperative, and I’ve had a few drinks, so I took it out to do a WOD. Forgot how heavy that 115 pounds is!

Yesterday was a shitshow for me in the home gym. Everything that could go wrong did. Today was the opposite of that. Everything went great, felt great and I had no fuckups.

Some days are like today. Nothing seems to go right at all. I couldn’t get the bench lined up right. Used the wrong weight for bench press, and then I did a WOD that had tons of hop overs.

Today I woke up feeling pretty good and energetic. I was eager to get out into the garage. As soon as I felt it was late enough, I got out there. I took my time and enjoyed myself while working up to seven back squats for my AMRAP PR set of five at two hundred and sixty pounds.

I had a great night’s sleep last night. It was a bit cooler. My back squats felt wonderful this morning, and then I got in a SHIFT WOD later on in the day.

We had some thunderstorms move past early this morning, but it dried up enough that the sun peaked out a bit. We squeezed in a shift WOD together on the patio.

We got our grocery shopping done bright and early, then I did my strict presses while Molly was getting her hair done. When she got home, we did WOD together before we ate supper.

The WOD programmed for tomorrow is one that’s had my atten ton since it was posted. I did it about this time last year and scaled the weight. Today I used the RX weight and missed the goal by a few minutes but still I was happy with how I did.

Every so often, I just want to play with heavier weights in a WOD. I have a few saved just for the purpose that look like the right rep scheme and combination to do that.

After my form breaking a good bit on the second heavy rep for my last cycle of 5/3/1 I knew what I had to do. I decided to knock some weight off my training max. It’ll get back up there in a few cycles and hopefully, I’ll be able to do better.

My back, well, more my side, has been nagging me a bit for the past week or so. For that reason, I have been staying on the conservative side for my lifts and WODs. I did that again today, but the heavy deadlift felt pretty good.

I did not sleep enough last night. My brain woke me up in the middle of the night, then I just found myself wide awake. Eventually, I just got up and drank my coffee. Went and did my heavy squats at about eight this morning.

I have been feeling a bit tired today. I was excited about getting at my back squats this morning, so I got out into the garage as soon as I thought it was reasonable. They felt crushingly heavy, but I got them done.

The deadlifts for today felt pretty heavy, but they felt great. I did the bare minimum of five reps due to blisters on my hand from a long row the other day. The WOD was deceivingly tough, but in a good way.

Today was one of those days that I didn’t feel like doing shit. I woke up feeling tired and had a slightly stuffy head. Just enough shit in my throat to feel annoyed.

I woke up this morning feeling pretty good. It was one of those days when wanted to get something different in for a WOD, though. I thought a longer endurance WOD would be perfect.

Today I did the barbell version of a WOD from a few weeks ago. You had up to fifteen minutes to get up to a certain amount of weight over head. I went with power snatches.

Today I did my heavy presses, and they were certainly tough, but I did better than I would have thought. Shortly after that, I did an old WOD that looked like it wouldn’t be too bad. I was wrong. It was tough, but in a good way.

Today I decided to start week three of my 5/3/1 early, so Molly could see my heavy set. I knew it would be a lifetime PR if I got more than two and was fully expecting to make it.

Today was a pretty good day for my squats today. I ended up making three at two hundred and eight pounds. Later, I did a WOD with sandbag back squats.

I’ve been somewhat lazy recently with WODs. Today I wanted to do one and challenge myself with the weight. I dug up an old one that would be a good one to use the fifty pounders for the WOD.

Last week I didn’t get that many WODs in. I was doing my heavy lifts but not much more here in the garage gym. That’s just how last week went.

Today was the day I decided to get my 5/3/1 heavy squats done for this week. They were at a A heavy weight that was getting into my head, so I wanted to avoid letting the thoughts eat away at me.

Today I did really well at my heavy strict presses. Even though I am feeling a bit tired, I decided to give one of the WODs that I quit the other day another go. Today brought success.

Today was much better for me in the garage gym. I felt great doing my deadlifts, then did a WOD and felt great with that. I even got to collect some sunshine on the patio.

Today was a pretty shitty day for me in the home gym. I wasn’t feeling the bench press at all, but did get it done. My first two attempts at WODs were both a no-go Finally, I found one to do.

Today was a mentally slow day for me. I drank plenty last night while I watched the Superbowl. As always, that led to poor sleep.

Today, my deadlifts felt great. They weren’t super heavy, so they should have felt good. Shortly after that, I got in a nice longer WOD.

Today’s WOD sort of repeat WOD. It had the same doublet of movements, but different numbers and a slightly different format. I was disappointed at my result at first until I relaxed that last time I used a lighter dumbbell.

Today was a great day for the first week of back squats in the new cycle. Shortly after that, I figured I would give one of the regular versions of the Vault WOD a try and surprised myself on it.

Today, my legs were feeling like they just didn’t want to go. I did my presses and then a bike WOD where it was just pushing through the slow pain. I guess yesterday took a lot out of me.

My hands are feeling a little raw still today, so I was undecided on whether I wanted to do my deadlifts or wait until tomorrow. I decided to give them a try and they felt surprisingly good.

This morning I did my bench press then a tough bike WOD. Later on in the evening, I got the bright idea to do the hundred kettlebell snatches challenge.

Today was a great day for my 1+ AMRAP back squats. They Felt Great. The first attempt at a WOD didn’t feel so great, and I changed my mind on it.

Yesterday I felt great in the garage. It would up turning into a double WOD day for me. I hadn’t intended to do two WODs, but that’s what ended up happening.

This morning I woke up feeling surprisingly good after a few drinks last night. Around 10:00 AM, I got a fun but brutal WOD in.

I slept much better last night. I got my bench press done and that felt great. Shortly after finishing my bench, I got today’s WOD in. The bike is hard.

Last night, I got startled as I was falling asleep. This morning something startled me awake again, so I’ve been feeling off and having poor focus. It burnt me on my twenty rep back squats.

This afternoon it became sunny and fairly mild, so I decided to take my strongman sandbag out on the patio and get a dirty work WOD in.

This morning, I had to do my deadlifts and then wanted to do today’s WOD. I wanted to switch things up with it and use the air runner, bike, and rower for each machine part of the WOD, and it was fun and really tough.

Last week when I was not feeling well I did continue with doing WODs. I figured it would be smart to pass on the lifting, so I took the week off. I restarted with week one of 5/3/1 this morning.

Today was the first time really ran on the assault runner. I’ve done a couple of times with short times playing with running but never a full interval until today. It went much better than I expected.

I’m feeling much better each day. I wanted to get this year’s second vault WOD done and out of the way early, since I didn’t look that fun to me.

I wanted a slightly longer WOD today, as I haven’t had a fever since yesterday. I wanted to push a little harder, so I found a decent bike one.

My first real attempt at a WOD today after having COVID-19 Take two was pretty rough. I cut it short, but felt okay doing it.

My first vault WOD from Street Parking for this year is done and in the books now. Thrusters and Devil Presses, Oh My!

It was mild enough for us to do a partner WOD together outside this morning. Not super warm but nice enough to be outside.

I have been really focusing on trying to use the assault bike as often as I can since we got it. It’s actually slowly feeling more tolerable to me.

This year, my first WOD of the year involved something which still fairly new to me and very uncomfortable. I thought I did pretty well with it, though.

This year, especially the latter half, I’ve been pushing myself with the dumbbell weight’s in WODs. For most of the movements, I am comfortable enough with them to go to the RX or RX plus weights.

Today I wanted to do a challenging WOD. I chose to do one of the old Vault ones. I used the Rx Weight today. Sadly, I don’t know what I used last time.

Burpees suck. There’s one way to make them suck even more. If you do them weight a weight vest, they feel like death.

I had much higher hopes for my heavy back squat AMRAP today than I ended up getting. I think it’s because my stomach has been feeling slightly off, but who knows. Some days will go like today.

Today, like yesterday, I went with a heavier weight for the WOD. I used the fifty pound dumbbell for my single arm devil presses, and they felt great.

I wanted to challenge myself with weights on a WOD today. I hunted down an old low rep one. I found a burpee plus clean and jerk one which was perfect to push the weight.

It was a chilly day today but sunny outside. I figured I would take the opportunity to get a WOD in outside around lunchtime, since there won’t be many days when that’s reasonably doable for a while.

Last week I did the row version of a WOD but wanted to do the run version too. I was just waiting for a dry day to do it, and today was that day.

Somehow, I slept well last night. I woke up early and once the trash men left, and I put away the trash can, I headed into the garage to get my squats done. I also got a dirty work WOD in late in the afternoon.

I have been wanting to do the WOD that Street Parking had programmed on Thanksgiving since it was posted. Last week I was feeling a bit off, so I held off in it since I knew it was going to be a longer one.

I was really exhausted this morning after being up late watching the Eagles game last night. Naturally, I woke up early and was wide awake. My squats felt great, then my energy died for the rest of the day

Last week I was lazy when it came to WODing. I did a couple and barely did my lifts. I had just been feeling so tired with a stuffy head. In hindsight, I may have had a bit of a bug. Felt great to get outside and do a WOD today.

Last week I took a brief break from the garage gym. I had been feeling really run down for one. The other thing is my girlfriend had off work, and it was mostly great weather, so we spent a lot of time outside on the trail geocaching.

I had a good day in the home gym today. Despite my knee bugging me, I got a conservative triple at a very heavy weight on the back squats. I beat my old score on a repeat WOD. I even wore my running sucks shirt with my cheetah costume because it’s Halloween, so why not have fun?

Some things I can cycle fast and others not so fast as far as dumbbells are concerned. Today I tried doing them in a death by WOD, and was cycling through the bigger sets easily and much more quickly than I imagined..

I was up and awake late watching the Eagles game last night, so I thought I would feel tired and sluggish in the garage today. It turns out that I slept pretty good and felt great. I crushed my squats and a WOD.

Today’s WOD looked like a fun one and one I thought that I could do pretty well at. In the end it went so much worse than I expected.

Sometimes a certain weight will always be a mental block for me. One example of that is my old max from when we went to the gym. Today in my 5/3/1 1+ day I did it for a triple.

It was such a nice day outside with the high in the mid to upper seventies, we just had to take the sled out for a WOD. There was one that looked particularly brutal t ha I’ve been wanting to do, so I did that one today.

I wouldn’t consider it a terrible thing, but more often than not these days my heart rate stays lower during WODs. My resting heart rate is also down near 50. Today I managed to get my heart rate max into the 180s.

Today’s WOD was one that I didn’t feel like I’d get a lot out of, so I did one from long ago. I have a bunch of the older ones saved in my favorites, so I can do them on days like today. I went way heavier and PRed timewise on it to boot.

I am starting my third cycle of 5/3/1 today and the first day up is squat day. I’ve been feeling really good with it. It was time to change things up.

Last year, my arm/ shoulder was fucked. I found that a lot of the dumbbell stuff made it feel worse, so I took a break. I started back up recently and am already benching the fifties with no discomfort.

It felt great to take the barbell outside for a WOD this afternoon. I’ve been neglecting using that because we’ve been really into the sled work and the sandbag stuff. I decided that it’d be fun to do a sled plus power clean WOD.

It has been a long time coming, but I finally switched my strength program to 5/3/1. I read the first book years ago and was going to try it out then when we were still going to Crossfit, but didn’t.

Today was the day I would log my thousandth street parking WOD. I wanted to do a partner WOD with Molly to celebrate it, but she wanted to do a sled WOD outside. We made it work.

I had a good night’s sleep. Today is still warm and very humid, but a good bit cooler than it has been. That helped me have a great day lifting early this morning before 9:00 AM. I also did a WOD around lunchtime.

It was another hotter than hell day today, but thankfully the air conditioner works well. I got my lifts in and everything felt pretty good. The bench felt better than I expected, after last time.

I had a good night’s sleep last night, then I got up feeling pretty good. I had a good morning for my lifting, with everything feeling really great. A little while later I did a WOD and challenged myself with it.

I felt good this morning, so I decided that it seemed like it was a pretty good time to try a WOD with heavier weights than I typically use. The rep count was pretty low, so I figured why not?

It was another hot day, but thankfully we have the air conditioner installed. My lifts weren’t anything heavy today, but they felt good.

I have been thinking about picking up a weighted vest for years. I didn’t know how it would work for me, and they were pretty pricey, so I never did until I saw one cheap on Amazon. Today it arrived, and I tried it out, and it was a good pickup.

There was one of the dirty work WODs that has intrigued me, so I wanted to give it a try today. I used the sled instead of running, but what intrigued me was the sandbag bear hug carries. It was easier with the strong man sandbag than the brute force one.

The heat and humidity has been having me feel pretty run down. I am still doing my lifting, though. This morning I had a pretty good day for my lifting. Nothing was heavy, but it felt good.

It has been another hot day today. Thankfully, the air conditioner helped me sleep last night and the one in the garage made it tolerable to do my lifting. I was having some cramping yesterday after doubling up on WODS.

It’s been over a week now since I did my normal lifting. Today it was time to get back at it. I lowered my weight and everything went well. I also did a fun WOD.

For my birthday this year I decided to go with my Crossfit total since I was long overdue on that. I got a lifetime PR on the back squats. Later, I did a brutal sled and strong man sandbag WOD in the heat.

Today was a warm and very humid day. Thankfully, with me wanting to max out next week, my lifts were all pretty easy. The WOD, on the other hand, was really tough and only exasperated be the heat.

This morning was a great day for lifting. I hit my heavy squats with ease. After lifting, we did some running around. By the time we got home and I went outside to do a sled WOD, it was just too hot.

Today, lifts were heavy. At least the DL and squats were. It was a very humid morning and day. Later I knocked out a WOD.

My girlfriend bought me a rogue strongman sandbag for my birthday. It’s the bright green one, so I can see it better, plus she knows I like bright colors.

Last night was yet another cool night, so I had a great night’s sleep. That helped with my fairly heavy squats early this morning and the very heavy presses. Later I got a fun little WOD in.

Today, my lifts went okay. I passed on the good mornings since I was feeling off with them. Shortly after that, we did a rough sled WOD.

Today, my lifts were pretty heavy again. The strict presses were the main deal about today. I had a heavy enough weight that I only got through it a couple of times before my shoulder. Today they felt heavy but great.

Today, my lifts were pretty heavy, especially the strict presses and power cleans. Everything felt and was much better than I expected, especially since I was feeling so off yesterday.

This morning was more humid than it has been, and the humidity is creeping up as the day goes on. It wasn’t bad enough to drastically affect me in the garage, though. I did as expected on my lifts and surprisingly well on an interval row.

Today turned out to be a pretty good day for my lifts. I got them in after messing with some yard work and going to for a game of mini golf, then more yard work afterwards. It was a great day out in the sun.

Today was much cooler than the past few days. It was very refreshing. It was really helpful with my lifting session this morning. A little while later, I did a WOD outside, enjoying the breeze.

Today’s lifting went great. I didn’t know how focused I’d be able to be after an extremely close lightning strike this morning.

Today’s lifting really surprised me this morning and went well. After not enough sleep and my shoulders feeling wrecked, it went great, and I didn’t expect that at all.

One problem that I do sometimes have working out at home is just getting stuck with weights that I am comfortable with. As I get older and the fact that I don’t have a coach watching makes it harder for me to push the weights up in WOD sometimes.

This morning was just an excellent time in the home gym for me. I crushed my strength then pushed myself and PRed a WOD. It was a great way to start the day.

I wasn’t really feeling it today and on top of that, my neck is stiff from the way I slept. My knee left out a good pot right before bed but felt fine, so I went light with the squats as a precaution

Today was a very great day for my lifts. Things went great, and it felt wonderful to be back under the bar after missing the last session because we were just too busy running around and planting the garden.

I got the week’s vault WOD over with this morning, then I was sitting on the computer. It was a nice day and quiet, so I took the sled out in the alley.

Today was a very nice day. It made for a fun and not too challenging day for me to do my lifting. Everything went well, and I had a really enjoyable type of day out in the garage.

Today was not as hot as the past couple of days, but it’s certainly still humid, at least for now. I made for a challenging time for my lifting session with all the sweat dripping down my face and everywhere else.

Well, today, the heat and humidity are here in full force. I did very poorly on my WOD just from that. The heat had me being slow, and the humidity had me slipping around on my sweat.

Today was a hot day for my lifting, and even hotter later in the day. It wasn’t bad enough for me to need to bring the air conditioner down yet, but it was annoying. My lifts went well anyway.

Today was yet another day when I got out into the garage later than I’d prefer. We had to run down and get a pot, so I bought us some hanging plants for the patio. After that, we had one more of the grandkids to give a birthday gift to. It was nice to see them and just talk on their patio for a couple of hours.

Today was one of those days when I was just enjoying myself in the garage. My lifts were fun. They were not too heavy or too light. Shortly after that, I did a fun old WOD.

Today I had a pretty good day lifting. I was able to take my time and enjoy my lifts. When the heavy deadlifts came up, I got distracted by an annoying lawnmower, so ended failing the third rep.

Today is the first hot day of the year, with it getting into the Nineties. This morning was just humid. I did my lifts early, and they all went well. Later during the afternoon in my infinite stupidity I did a WOD, and it went okay. Just lots of cramping.

Today I didn’t have anything else that was more important to do so it was nice to be back to a normal and slower pace with my lifts. Everything went well. I did a WOD shortly after my lifts, thankfully before the heat turned on.

Today was yet another day when I had to rush through my lifting. Thankfully, it was light weights, so I could get through it quickly.

My Garmin HRM Pro strap seems to have died. I went through the troubleshooting and then got on chat with Garmin support. After a few questions, they set me up with a link to order a replacement. I can’t complain about that.

I felt like I had to rush to get to my lifts this morning. We had to go to my step grandson’s birthday and had no idea when we were going. Thankfully, my lifts were light, and I got out in the garage early in the morning and got through them pretty quickly. Had fun seeing all the grandkids later.

Today was a really challenging day for me in the garage. I didn’t sleep so great last night to start things off. To top things off, I had to do PR level back squats at two hundred and seventy-five pounds and then near Pr deadlifts at two hundred and ninety-five pounds.

I am really feeling tired and run down today. I had heavy back squats for my strength and wasn’t feeling it. Much to my surprise, I made it through them at the PR of two hundred and seventy pounds, which really surprised me. I went light on the power cleans and presses to play it safe, though.

Today I did my old Crossfit Trinium one rep max back squat weight for sets of five today, and they felt great. The other lifts were less aggressive. Later I did an old WOD with numerous lunges and that felt good.

This was one of those days that I had very low expectations for. I’ve been gassy as hell and didn’t sleep too well last night because of it. My lifts were all on the heavy side to add to that. In the end, everything went well, and I made all of my lifts, even with dropping the stupid 2.5 pound change plate on my toe.

This morning, when I woke up, I was feeling really run down and didn’t know how my lifts were going to go. I knew I had heavy back squats then fairly heavy strict presses, but it all turned out great.

This morning, a good and bad day for me in the garage. The heavy back squats felt great. The bench press just wasn’t happening. The WOD I chose to do was brutal but doable.

This morning was a fun and good day for me in the home gym. The weights were heavy for my starting strength, and yet they felt excellent. I sat out in the fading sunshine on the patio for a bit after that, then we did this week’s vault WOD together.

I slept good last night. After I took Brooke to the bus stop, I jumped right into doing my strength. Fairly heavy squats today. It went great. Later I did an old vault WOD and PRed that by a few seconds.

I slept better last night, which helped. It is also windy outside today, but more importantly much less humid today. I ended up having an excellent and fun day lifting in the home gym.

It was a later start than I would have preferred to get my ass out in the garage to do my lifting, especially on deadlift day, but it felt pretty good. Stuff felt heavier than it should have, but not so heavy that I ever thought I was going to fail anything.

I usually enjoy my lifting sessions. Some days come along like today where I was just having fun with it. Everything went well, not easy but well. I challenged myself some and was just in that good zone.

I did better than I expected that I would with my lifts this morning. Friday I got my COVID-19 booster shot and felt like shit yesterday. At least I slept better last night.

It was a pretty good day for me in the home gym. I made all my lifts. The WOD was really tough because by that time it was in the 70s with a dew point in the upper 50s.

What a world of difference between last Monday and today for me. Last Monday I had zero energy and was having constant stomach cramps Plus dehydration. Today I had lots of energy, felt great and easily did my, light, lifts and a WOD.

We went to the older granddaughters’ softball thing last night. I can’t really see what they’re doing, so I play with the younger ones. Last night that involved horsey rides and running around.

This morning I felt good. I am over the stomach bug even though I still feel a little weak and tired but I am able to keep food in me. It was a great morning to get back to the bar and do some lifting.

I have had some sort of stomach bug for a couple of days. Lots of shitting of the liquid variety and feeble sleep has been killing me. I’m feeling a bit tired today, but did a WOD again.

I woke up with my stomach feeling off this morning. Lots of churning after I took my thyroid pill and drank some water. It got worse and keeps feeling like I’m being kicked in the gut. I still manged to get a WOD in.

I didn’t do a WOD yesterday or the day before. My hamstring got really tight out of nowhere just when I stood up to take Brooke to the bust stop. I attempted my strength Thursday and quickly decided to rest.

I slept pretty good last night considering how chilly I felt before I went to bed. I did good with my lifting and then did a tough for me type of WOD.

I actually slept straight through the night and felt good this morning in contrast to the past few mornings. After taking Brooke to school I got changed and did my twenty rep squats and then my SP dead lift program. It was tough but successful.

I was awake half the night last night again. I woke up after a short period of good sleep feeling great. I drank my coffee and got at my thankfully fairly easy day of lifting and did and felt great.

I had poor sleep last night. I woke up way too early and then we did some running around. Finally I got to my lifting in the afternoon when I felt like a Zombie. It went okay.

I got around to my lifts today much later than I would have liked to have done them. I spent the day waiting around for the gas company again for their safety inspection. Our time was 8 am - noon. He showed up at I think 3:20 PM. I wasted a whole day waiting and got to my lifting later than I like.

Busy day today in the garage for me. I did my twenty rep squats plus the deadlift program. When Molly got home we did a WOD together too.

I really did not sleep well last night and wasn’t feel like doing anything. I had to wait around in the afternoon so I had to do my strength earlier than I would have liked.

I wasn’t feeling it at all today yet I had a pretty busy active type of day. It began with a nice 1 ½ mile walk this morning. Then I did my lifts and finally we did a WOD together outside on the patio!

I had a shitty night’s sleep last night where I spent a good portion of the night laying in bed wide awake. I dreaded my strength today even though I somehow managed to feel refreshed when I did wake up. My lifts felt and went great.

The past couple of weeks I have been skipping the twenty rep squats because I was feeling quite run down. Today I did them and they felt great even though my knee was just pissy the past few days.

Poor sleep, not enough sleep and waking up way too early was how this day began. I’ve been feeling tired and had low expectations for today’s lifting, especially the heavy squats. They went and looked great along with my other lifts..

Once in a while a WOD comes along that I am just able to really do well at. The one that I did today was just such a WOD. It was only bear complexes which I’ve been able to do well and fast for years now.

I actually slept straight through the night again and woke up feeling great. This really helped me with my strength today as I had some heavy for me back squats to do then moderate bench press. The squats looked as great if not better than they felt.

I actually had another good night’s sleep last night and was feeling refreshed this morning. Shortly after taking Brooke to the bus stop I did my lifts and they felt great. The WOD was tough after those heavy squats though.

Yesterday I attempted this week’s Street Parking vault WOD and stopped right away. My shoulder was feeling tight from the 100 deficit push ups the day before so I thought I should rest it..

I was once again very tired this morning after little sleep Thursday night then poor sleep last night from drinking. Somehow I had the energy to do my strength and it felt good though.

I really wasn’t feeling it this morning but I did my strength anyways this morning. In the end my lifts all wound up actually feeling great!

I had a much better night’s sleep last night and that led to a good day in the garage with my brain and body not feeling so burned out.

After a shitty night’s sleep my lifting actually went well. I really thought it was going to be a brutally tough day even with the light weights but it wasn’t bad.

Today was the type of day that I fully expected to fail my deadlifts. For one, they were very heavy. I was also exhausted.

I woke up feeling great. The morning’s lifting session was awesome. One of those day where I as having fun and truly enjoying myself..

I woke up early and squeezed in my lifting session before we had to do other things. When we got home we did the vault WOD together.

I had a pretty lazy day today fitness wise. I’ve just been tired and not feeling like doing shit yet I knew I had to. Finally I settled on a fun little no equipment WOD.

I was feeling dead tired today. TO my surprise my strength went pretty good even though I felt that way

Today was the first time I did an outside running WOD since last fall. I really did much better with it than I expected to do.

My strength today went poorly but at least I expected it. I didn’t eat nearly enough calories the past couple of days to recover and I woke up way too early this morning.

I don’t normally do box jumps here in the home gym because we don’t have enough room for me to safely fail in my normal failure modes. The risk with me being legally blind is pretty high to and usually just isn’t worth it to me. Today I did them for the WOD and really did enjoy them. I do love jumping.

This morning I had a much better day than I thought I would with my lifts which were all pretty heavy. I had more to drink last night than I have been and had very poor sleep.

Yet another great day in the garage for me. Today really was a great surprise to me after rolling my ankle on the bench foot last night.

This morning I did manage lots of good lifting. Everything went great with nothing close to a bad rep or fail. Even did the twenty rep squats and SP deadlift program.

Today I did a fun little rowing WOD. I fucked up in every way possible to get a score but that doesn’t matter. I did the work for myself.

Today in the home gym was an awesome day. It really caught me off guard too because I was expecting a shitty day with poor sleep and feeling physically and mentally tired this morning.

Today was a good day in the garage even after drinking more than usual last night for date night. I was able to do two spring WODS and do them well.

Today was another great day for me in the garage gym. Everything felt great and went as it should have. I’m hoping that it’s a pattern now where I am over the feeling a bit rundown funk I was in for much of last month.

Today I felt really good about how I did with the WOD. I did underestimate it though and the intensity of it really caught me off guard a bit.

Today I had a perfect day in the home gym. Everything went exactly as well as it could have gone.

It’s been a while since I’ve done the SP deadlift program or my twenty rep squats. I got back into it today and felt great about it.

This morning in my garage gym was one of those excellent days where everything was just clicking. Even heavier weights felt easy today with plenty more in the tank. The garage was only in the upper 40s and it didn’t even feel bad.

I really didn’t feel like doing shit in the garage today after it got later than I like with our running around to the grocery stores and such but I did my strength and a WOD. I did okay but more importantly I did it and felt better afterwards.

I enjoyed my day in the garage gym today. It wasn’t the best of days or the worst of days but it was good to lift. My knee was bugging me a bit so I lowered my back squats weight to keep it from flaring up.

Even though my lifts, at least my squats and deadlifts were pretty heavy today they all felt fucking great. It was one of those days where it just felt really great to be in the garage doing my thing and moving weight in my war against gravity.

I was lazy yesterday and didn’t do shit in the home gym. Today I fixed that and did my strength plus Monday’s WOD.

I missed doing my strength yesterday because the washer drained on the floor and spent the day cleaning that up. Today I got to do my lifting and it was just what I needed.

Today was a day when I wanted to push myself way out of my comfort zone. I did the vault WOD which involved a lot of dumbbell deadlifts. I’m not comfortable at all with those.

I woke up way too early today and I am feeling very tired and run down. I did get my lifting in for the day and it felt great.

I twisted my knee pretty good on ice yesterday but It felt better this morning. I went for it with the first Street Parking vault WOD today and felt good about it then did (slightly lighter) twenty rep squats and deadlift program today.

This morning both my neck and hip left out a missive crack. I wasn’t sure if that was going to adversely affect my lifting today or not because I did feel a slight weakness after both.

I started of the new year right this year. I decided to test my Crossfit total to see where my strength stands. I was pretty happy with the results.

Today my brain and body felt like they were just running in slow motion during the WOD. I did it at a slower pace than I might have on a good day but it was good to get a workout in.

I got my lifting in today. Good with the heavy back squats but nope on the bench press. Right after that I jumped into and endurance WOD that turned out to be about ten thousand meters on the rower.

I did my twenty rep squats today and they’re still feeling good even though the weight is getting up there.

Today was one of those days where my lifting went much better than I expected it to go. The WOD on the other hand was basically a clusterfuck of things that could go wrong.

Christmas day has been good Considering. I got to do my lifts in the garage at least. Getting together with family wasn’t working out.

I did my lifts this morning and then did a longer endurance type of WOD. Both felt really good today and it was nice to be done with both by right about lunchtime.

My lifting felt great today on this December solstice. Ironically enough I was finishing up my last set of squats right about the time of the solstice without even realizing it until after the fact.

Today I did my strength. A few hours later I did today’s WOD which turned out to be fucking brutal.

Today was a pretty good day for my lifts. It actually was much better than I expected to be going by how I felt this morning.

Today was a pretty good day for my lifts. It actually was much better than I expected to be going by how I felt this morning.

It was a day of some heavy weights in the garage gym for me today. Both my deadlifts and strict presses were on the heavy end. At least the squats weren’t. Also felt good to do an endurance WOD.

My strength for today went great. The WOD as I expected with the movements involved was just blah. I did it to get a WOD in but it’s not one I could see myself doing again.

I’m still doing my strength every other day but I just haven’t posted about it. Today it went really well again.

I think I could have made them but I aborted my very heavy front squats at 245 today after the fourth rep.

I Made my very heavy front squats today at 240 pounds. That was a PR for me.

Today I did my heavy front squats as part of my strength and I have to admit that they felt heavier than they should have.

I did my twenty rep squats today after breakfast and some yard work. That felt great. After that we went for a walk and grabbed a couple of geocaches in town that we’ve been letting go for far too long.

Today I did my heavy front squats as part of my strength and I have to admit that they felt heavier than they should have.

It seems I did all the movement things today. Three walks, my strength and then a WOD were all part of the day.

Lazy sort of day today but I still managed to do my twenty rep squats. After eating supper we got out for a nice walk too.

We had a pretty busy day with running around and doing our grocery shopping. I squeezed in my strength during the afternoon and felt pretty good about it.

Today I got a lot of stuff done in the garage gym and felt good about it. By the end of the day I was just totally burned out mentally though. I just felt mentally like a zombie by the evening.

Anyone who knows me knows of my strong dislike of running. Being visually impaired really puts a damper on any joy I would get from it. This year, for Halloween, I decided to have a little fun with it.

Today was a very busy day in the garage gym and I guess you could say outside of it when we drug our stuff out in the sunny afternoon on the patio do do our bro shit.

It was a real mixed bag for my strength today. On one hand the front squats felt way off and I aborted but on the other hand heavier strict presses and power cleans felt great.

It was not the worst day or the best day in the garage gym today by any means. Some days will go like this though. It’s still better than not doing anything.

It doesn’t happen that often but I walked away from a WOD out of frustration due to my vision. I can count on my hands how many time that’s occurred but it has happened rarely.

Today my lifting session in the garage gym felt really great. It felt much different than the past several where I was feeling really run down.

I wasn’t feeling it at all today but did my strength and bro session with the bare minimum. There will be days like this where something is better than nothing.

Today I did my strength in the morning then a WOD that wasn’t great for me visually. Finally in the afternoon we did our bro session which I kept light today.

Today’s strength went a lot better for me than I expected it to. On Saturday I rolled my ankle while hiking and it was a bit angry at me yesterday. Today it felt fine so I attempted my strength and it went great.

My strength for today went pretty well. I managed to perform all of my lifts with no difficulties including my sets of front squats that were on the heavier side of things for me.

I ended up attempting and completing another 10k row today. It felt good to get something longer in.

Today I was busy in the garage. First I did my strength and a WOD. Later my girlfriend and I did our bro session and that felt good. Even found time to go for a walk.

Unlike last Friday when I was feeling really run down I felt great today. I did my normal strength for the day and then did the bench press and good mornings that I deferred on Friday. Everything felt great today.

Sometimes you find a product that costs more than others but it’s absolutely worth paying more. Our Concept 2 rower is a perfect example of one of those.

Today in the garage was another busy day. It started out with my strength around lunch time then we did our bro session when the girlfriend got home. I jumped right into a WOD after that.

Today was a busy day in the garage gym. I had another busy day in the garage today. It included my normal strength then a 10k row then later we did our bro session.

Today was a busy day in the garage gym. I started out bright and early with my normal strength. I then did two street parking WODs a couple of hours apart so I could do the 700th one with Molly.

Yesterday I did a WOD with farmer’s lunges so I used the 40 pounds dumbbells. Heavier than I normally do lunges and the other movement of the WOD was step ups. Needless to say, my legs are done. My squats and deadlifts felt heavier today but I did them.

This morning I easily worked through my strength for the day then did a longer endurance rowing type of WOD. Later on I attempted and aborted my twenty rep squats for this week.

Every once in a while I get the urge to do either a WOD or my lifting or maybe both with no music at all. There’s something about it that makes it feel even better. Today’s lifts were performed that way and they felt great.

It was really a surprising day for me today. I attempted my twenty rep back squats at 250 pounds the other day and aborted at one rep. Today after not sleeping super well due to alcohol I made the PR at the 250 pounds and they didn’t even feel that bad.

Having done my Crossfit Total a couple of days ago I took a couple of days off then reset my weights. It worked out perfect so that I was only lifting prettylight on days we wanted to get out geocaching.

Today was a nice day. Cooler and much less humid than it’s been in quite a while so I went for my Crossfit total. No PRs but it all felt good.

Today my strength felt surprisingly great with my mind being focused on the weather. Everything felt great.

It wasn’t nearly as hot or humid today, so I knocked out my strength, then later on my twenty rep squats for this week. Everything felt good, especially my very heavy twenty rep squat PR.

I was preoccupied with watching Ida and didn’t feel like doing a WOD. I did wind up doing tomorrows WOD because I knew it’d be pretty quick

I felt great getting back into the garage gym today. With the stress of the tree issues, I haven’t felt like working out and felt I couldn’t focus at all, so I skipped a day or two.

I didn’t really feel like doing anything today but my stuff in the garage went pretty well. It just took a while to get started

I did a quick sandbag WOD. It looked like it wasn’t going to be that bad. While doing the WOD and after I was finished it let me wondering what the fuck I was thinking

I did my strength today for the first time since our tree started self destructing. I just haven’t had much focus and didn’t want to risk it with lifting.

Today it is a rainy day. My middle finger is a bit angry from curling my step grandson yesterday. I did a lighter WOD than I normally have because of that When we went for a walk in the evening, I had to jump in the puddles because life’s too short to not have fun.

I was still feeling a little wound up from that thunderstorm the other day. I didn’t feel I could focus, so I skipped my strength today, but I did get a WOD in.

My strength went okay today, even though it was very humid from the tropical depression. I did a WOD later in the day. The worst thing about that WOD was the absurd amount of sweating I was doing from the humidity.

I really had no idea how I’d do with my strength today after twisting me knee, tripping on one of the poorly maintained sidewalks in Mount Joy. Everything ended up going well. Even my heavier deadlifts felt great!

It will be our last humid day for a while. Even with that humidity, I did great with my lights and a WOD today.

I took my lifting a little slower again today. I was really feeling overheated today. Probably the heat and humidity killing me. Things went well apart from that.

Crossfit gym prices have gotten out of hand. I get that it costs a lot to open and run a gym but they don’t have to get into the shady tactics and contract games.

It’s very humid today, so I took my lifting a little slower. Everything went pretty well considering.

I didn’t get nearly enough sleep last night. That made my twenty rep squats feel extra tough. While I was doing them I kept hearing an old Crossfit coach, Steph, saying “Don’t be a Bitch”

I was feeling lazy all morning, but finally got up off my lazy ass and got my strength done. It was just one of those days.

Today was another busy day for us, but we managed to squeeze in our bro session.

My front squats were challenging to say the least this morning. Everything else went okay. I made some heavy front squats, but they were in no way a walk in the park.

Some days go like this. I struggled with the WOD today, and it didn’t look like it would be that difficult on paper.

Sadly not every day goes like this. I had a great morning lifting heavy weights this morning. They all felt great. Even the tough ones.

It has been some time since I’ve done a WOD that had devil press in it. I’ve been avoiding those with my arm acting up. Today was the first WOD that I’ve done with them in it and it felt better than I thought it would.

Today was an entirely different story than a few days ago for me in the home gym. Not only did I crush it in my lifts, but I felt great while doing it. I love days like this.

Today I had zero energy. Not only that by my legs felt like dead weight. Somehow I still made all of my lifts for today.

Today was one of those days when my lifting felt a little tougher than it should have for me. I did it, but I really wasn’t feeling it.

Today, my lifting felt awesome. I switched things up a bit and did some snatch grip deadlifts instead of hip thrusts, and they felt great.

I woke up this morning feeling pretty good. This morning was humid, I did my twenty rep squats in the morning. Later on in the day, we did our bro session together.

After a couple of nights of poor sleep, I had a good night’s sleep, last night. I’m feeling quite a bit better now. It really helped me with my lifting today.

I drank last night. I didn’t sleep that great. All things considered, I ended up having a better day than I had anticipated in the garage gym. That’s always nice.

I felt good about my garage gym session today. Everything went better than I thought it would with it being so humid and the smoke from those Canadian wildfires making it in here.

I have been taking it a bit easy with my lifts since I did my Crossfit Total so I could recover. Now I am sort of back to normal with the lifts.

We got out for a nice shot couple of mile walk on the Northwest River Trail today. When we got home, I cranked the air conditioner in the garage and headed out there a little while later to do my Crossfit Total.

For the past several birthdays, I have been doing challenges when it comes up. I had been doing burpee pull-ups because that was more challenging than plain burpees. This year, I did body weight back squats unbroken.

I had a decent day in the garage. I have been feeling a bit run down from the heat and humidly, and can’t seem to drink enough water when it’s like this.

Today was an excellent day for me in the garage, and very much to my surprise too. My regular strength and my twenty rep squats which I did felt great!

I had a nice fourth of July in the garage gym today. Everything went well, and you can’t really ask for better weather in the middle of summer.

It’s not really that hot this morning, but my hands were very sweaty. That’s one of those things that hurts me more than anything. My lifts went surprisingly well considering that.

Another one of the major advantages of workout out at home for me is the fact that I can wear what ever I want. Sure I could in a gym but there are still reasons not to.

It is hotter than Hell Today. It was about 90 ℉ when I went out into the garage, but I still did okay with my stuff. I am thankful that we have and use an air conditioner for our garage gym.

Thankfully, as the day went on yesterday my foot was feeling better. I debated throughout the day whether I should attempt my strength today. Finally, I decided to do it, and it felt pretty good.

Friday evening I rolled my ankle stepping awkwardly while walking down the stairs. Saturday it didn’t feel so great. I guess that means I’ll be taking at least a couple of days off from my lifting.

Last night’s temperature was very cool for this time of the year, with it getting to near 50. I slept better due to that. Today is much cooler, too, so I felt better in the garage. I had a fantastic day lifting.

It was warm and humid enough last night that we should have probably put the air conditioner in. That led to me having poor sleep. Somehow I managed to kick ass with my lifts today even with that heat and humidity.

I had feeble sleep last night. For one, I got woken up by thunder and had to run outside and grab the cushions from the patio chairs and I drank. Somehow, I don’t know how, I killed it at today’s strength, though.

I had a great lunchtime in the garage gym today. It was refreshingly cooler to go along with that.

I had a great morning for my lifts in the garage this morning.

I’m slowly feeling more like myself in the garage gym now. We even got out for a walk today and somewhere along our way we saw a hydrangea blooming.

Today was a very mixed type of day for me in the garage. Some things well and some things went not so well.

I made it back out into the garage today. After the tree incident, then waiting around for the tree guy, I missed a couple of days.

It was a hot day, but I was busy in the garage gym. I did lots of heavy lifting.

Unfortunately, the humidity is returning. That kills me more than the heat. Regardless of that, I smashed my lifts today and that felt good.

Some days you feel great about lifts. Occasionally, you feel great even if you fail a lift. Today was one of those kinds of days.

Yesterday I ended up having a somewhat lazy type of day and that’s fine. Today I felt a lot better and made it back into the garage gym.

It was hot today. Even so, my lifts went perfectly, and they were heavy too.

The forecast this morning was for the sky to remain cloudy all day today but shortly after lunch it cleared up. Not just breaks in the clouds but the sky fully cleared up and remained that way at least until after sunset save a few small clouds.

I am still feeling a little weak and tired but I am feeling pretty normal after my COVID shot. I Crushed my strength today.

Today was the first hot day of the year so far. Although I slept great, the heat really hurt my lifting.

I actually slept great last night. The window being open usually helps me sleep. I had a challenging day in the home gym today, but everything went perfect.

I actually slept decently last night and didn’t get woken up by the motorcycle. This led to me having an outstanding lifting session in the home gym.

I got woken up by the neighbor repeatedly letting her door slam as she always does. I wasn’t ready to get up. Regardless, I was feeling good today and had a good day in the home gym.

When I first woke up this morning, my stomach felt a bit off. It got better, and I had a good day with my lifting at least.

It was one of those day for me in the home gym where everything was pretty heavy. It was all doable, but required full focus.

I cannot complain about how today was for me in the garage. I didn’t do a lot or have a great day but I made it out there.

Today the weather was a lot more tolerable to me. In the morning I did my strength. When Molly got home, we did an old partner WOD. After supper, we went to a park for a nice walk.

Sometimes counting during a WOD is just hard. This morning was a case where I kept losing count of either rounds or reps. Scores are really not all that important, so it’s no big deal.

It’s definitely a bit too warm for my liking today. Regardless, my lifting felt great this morning.

My lifts didn’t go as well as I would have liked or hoped they would go today. I wish every day that I would have started at a much younger age.

I can admit that some days my lifts feel pretty tough. TodaY waS one of those days yet at the same time they felt great.

Today wasn’t a bad day in the home gym at all. Really though, is there even such a thing as a bad day when you get to lift in your own home gym?

I guess I’m fully recovered from my COVID shot. I was feeling great today after feeling like shit on Saturday. I got my lifts in and then later we did our bro session together.

I was feeling really achy and rundown today. I still managed to get my lift sin though!

I got my first COVID shot and then I surprised myself with how well I did on next Monday’s Vault WOD.

I don’t know why but for the past few sessions I’ve been feeling off with my strength. Not today though. I felt great about it today.

I am feeling good about my strength session this morning. No tightness is left n my side that was a bit angry last week.

I was feeling good today so I knocked out my strength and some extras this morning.

I did tomorrows Sandbag WOD a shot. I didn’t have a tone of time to do it since we had a lot of running around to do.

This morning I got a lot done in the garage. I was ready to get started out there in the home gym fairly early this morning.

This morning I got back to my lifting. I’ve been on a short hiatus from it due to a side spasm. I did keep the weights lighter today but it just felt great to be back at it.

We did Monday’s vault WOD last night. It was a fun little WOD. Because I wanted to have fun and fuck with Molly at the same time I wore my sea creature costume.

We had a pretty busy day today. I attempted by twenty rep squats when we got home but aborted part way through. It just felt as if I was loading me knee weird. Later I struggled whit a WOD. Oh well, theirs gonna be days like this.

I got an early start with my lifting. It felt pretty tough but it was a good day. I love the days when I get it done early.

Today was a mental day for me in the home gym. It’s getting warmer out and my body’s not adapted to the heat yet. That made for a day where all my lifts were mentally tough.

I pushed myself and went heavier on the dumbbell snatches in a WOD today. I used the 40 pound dumbbell. Normally I go lighter. I knew I could do it and it felt good to go heavier.

This was one of those rare days where all my lifts felt extra powerful. I was moving really well and moving the weight easily.

I had another successful week with m twenty rep squats. I’m already well above the weight I expected to make it up to.

I had a very busy but great day today in the garage. I did my strength and a WOD then later we did our bro session lifts together.

Today I had a great day in the home gym. It was one of those days that goes much better than I expected it to go.

My lifts felt great this morning. I got them done early since I didn’t have a lot of time before the grands were coming. I smashed a WOD this evening too!

My foot is still a little achy so I knew it was going to be a bit of a rough day in the garage gym today. I still got it done.

I get to live another week on my twenty rep back squats. It was a heavy 230 pounds that I expected to feel tough. They felt beret as I worked through the twenty reps.

The filler bag that holds the pea gravel in my sandbag broke during a WOD. I ate a lot of dust and sand and it made the WOD even more awkward. I guess I’ll see how Brute Force’s warranty service actually is.

After doing three WODs yesterday I knew today’s lifting would certainly be Interesting.

I signed up for the Crossfit open this year but I’m not officially logging it because I didn’t realize the video requirements before hand. I did 21.2 this morning.

Other than the deadlifts my lifting went great today. The deadlifts were just feeling off for me.

Today was a day where my weightlifting just felt a lot tougher than it should have.

I did two logistically challenging WODs today. We are fortunate to have what we have but it’s not a great setup for certain WODs. I still did them.

Today I didn’t really have very high hopes for my lifting after two running WODs yesterday. Turns out that my lifting felt great much to my suprise.

My lifting was a little disappointing today. Things just didn’t go as well as I had hoped. Power cleans is where things went downhill. I just had a brain disconnect going on.

Today was a fun day for me. I did a new clean complex thaT I haven’t done before.

Today my lifting was a mixed bag. Some of my lifts went well while others not so much.

I haven’t done a lot of power snatches lately because of space inside. Today I did an EMOM of them. I did them heavier than I would have in Trinium and then even increased the weight more the last two minute.

Today my lifting was heavy. It was doable though.

My lifts today felt a lot better than last time.

I ended up with another twenty rep squat PR. These have really been feeling good.
