I am currently in Chicago for the AAOSM NHL physicians meeting, starts tomorrow and I got in early today and figured I should make it to at least one of the CrossFit affiliates here in town.
The closest to the hotel I am residing in was CrossFit Iron Sport. Following my nice 2.4 mile walk, Rudy welcomed me with a taste of Strict Cindy, one person watches and counts only good reps, while the other works. I put in my worst effort ever, be it the travel and nutrition issues that go with it, or fatigue from a previous Tabata something, or the fact that I had someone counting good reps that caused this? I don't like to make excuses so we will got with the latter and use it to motivate me to be more strict with my training and instruction. And help motivate me to dial in my nutrition, it has been a long Summer and I can tell both in the mirror and every morning we workout.
A big thanks to Rudy and the gang, thanks for the Ass whoopin.
I got a call today from an athlete that I have been working with long distance, he was a Texas Tornado, which is how I met him, and is beginning his second year at UAH. He was given an ultimatum of sorts by his coach and called me for some advice on nutrition and Training. I gave him a simple version of the Zone and told him no Beer, and minimize the drinking. This is a tough task for a college hockey player :). But Tommy stepped up to the challange. He was also given a 5 on 2 off CrossFit ME workout, I knew he was in good hands as far as O-lifts go with Kris Kotrla and Johk Kasa of ZoomSports Frisco.
He reported a couple days ago and testing started yesterday. He made some incredible improvements over the Summer and was named assistant captain. Congrats Tommy, looking forward to watching you play again this year hopefully the schedule works out.
The Men of CrossFit DL are on their own the rest of the week.
EJ today
Tomorrow a strength day with some 5x5 sets total body workout with a TGU 2x5 finish.
Good luck Men, See ya Monday.
