KETTLEBELLGUY

Crossfit at 6AM. Ice on the windshield but looking for a high of 60 today.

Ron, Tom and Eric with Brian coaching.

Had a good nights sleep and feeling better this morning.

Still being a little upset about no weight loss in my weigh in yesterday I jumped on the scale just to see if it came out at 251 again. I still had the thought in the back of my head that maybe the scales are broken. I was really happy to see 249 pop up. That made me feel good and confirmed that what I am doing is working even though the results are slow and don’t reflect on the scale the day I think they should.

Worked on planks for our warm up and the Rings for our skill.

The WOD included bodyweight (as the Rx) deadlifts. I enjoy the deadlifts and do well with them. If it just requires picking up something heavy I can do it. I went with 255 lbs, Ron at 205 lbs, Eric at 170 lbs and Tom at 135 lbs.

A big issue with the deadlifts for me is a period of dizziness after I complete the deadlifts. Part of that could be a side effect of the Flomax I take. Anyway, to go directly from the deadlifts to the box jumps I have to take a few seconds to recover. If we were doing pushups right after the deadlifts that would work perfect. I could just fall down.

I did do actual box jumps for the first 5 sets, going to step ups on round 6. Still using the short box. Eric and Ron were going 26 inches and Tom about 18 inches.
