A little metabolic work:
3 rds, 30 seconds of rest
3 BW Bench press
6 1.5 x BW DL
9 Burpees

Shoulder felt OK. Excited for the new cycle, and am hoping for the best in both ability to keep lifting overhead, and to improve my lifts.

I assumed my max FS is 120kg, but, it is clear that after today's session, that is a little high. I will use 110kg from now on to get my %'s. Until of course the next cycle rolls around, which by then I am hoping is back up to near 120kg.

Wow! was my left shoulder unstable. Having said that, it didn't hurt at all throughout the entire workout, which surprised the heck out of me-Muscle Snatch!

Thursday December 111th,

Supposed to be a rest day, but.....did the Crossfit WOD at my gym. Needed an extra body to even out the numbers.

Back Squat (5x5)
70
80
85
90
95

WOD: Done with a partner, and done blindfolded. More on that one later.

Farmers' walk 24kg KB 200m (approx. 100 m down, 100m up a slope)
5 rounds
3 DL's 100kg
6 24" Box Jumps (Didn't jump blindfolded, more of a step up and jump down)
9 burpees
Finish with Farmer's walk.

So, a blindfolded workout was quite the experience. For the most part I was really uncomfortable. Couldn't push it hard, even though I wanted to. I had a guide the whole time, so it's not like there was a lack of trust. But I felt queasy if I started to floor it.

Pretty brutal and slow.....
