Crossfit at 6AM. Noreen, Steve, Eric, Kelly, Dave and Angie with Brian and Jerry Coaching. Slept 9P to 3A and felt good when I got up.
This morning we had our WOD outside. For people that live in California by the beach the idea of an outside workout must seem very common. For those of us in the Midwest that workout at 6AM the opportunity to get outside for a workout is rare. Everyone seemed to really enjoy it and maybe we have a window of opportunity through July to repeat an outdoor workout on occasion.
I think it’s great marketing to be working outside. A large number of cars drive past the gym in the morning. There is a big Crossfit sign by the road. Maybe someone will make the connection between Crossfit and what we are doing and check out the gym.
Along with being outside we did a multiple movement workout which I always like. If I suck at what we are currently doing there is a chance that I might do better with the next movement.
I felt good during the workout and my energy continues to increase. I wish my numbers would have been higher, especially since Eric and Dave were 100+ higher than mine but it is what it is.

This was our introduction to the “Bear Complex”. I found a good example video below. Since we were doing this as our warm up we only used the bar with no extra weight. I would not be surprised for this to show up as a WOD some day in the future.
Picture from yesterday, working up to my max front squat. Two weeks ago I could not squat (or move) after the NEO Crossfit Challenge. Finally back to where I can squat so low I have to check for brown streaks on the floor when I am done.
Charlie was at the gym for his workout this morning. He is so excited about the Games, along with everyone else at the gym.
Eating—Day 10 doughnut free. Trying to decide when to weigh again. Not sure how high I went up on my last blow out and I really don’t want to weigh until I am sure I am below 249. At this point I will hold off for a bit.
What hurts today—Feeling surprisingly good. Whatever aches and pains I wake up with are gone by the end of the workout. Just a slight aching in my left shoulder. Huge difference from two weeks ago.
Now that is the most perfect squat I might have ever seen!!! Brian said I should hang it over my squat cage
And “I guess you noticed how far down he goes” 
COOL Trboh TERRY!! Nice job!
