Stop Whining

Week 4: Knee same as last week. Still going easy on it , but adding in some Air squats to strengthen the quads. Also changed diet to reduce calories. My new mantra stop whining and just put in the Friggen work. My summer competition season may be done, but Ill be dammed if I let that ruin my fitness goals or journeys.


KV WOD: 3 rounds run 400 m, 10 hspu.
Mikes Mod: row 500, and no change on HSPU

Stuff and Things

Knee is starting to improve, felt ok doing real burpees without a step up step down. Dont want to go too hard just yet. need to stick with the progress and plan.
Need to find a good strategy between dieting and increased cardio to help loose some weight. I knew id have a bit of gain, but I need to double up my efforts to be strict, and increase that cardio. Ive always been a heavy guy, I once got down to about 200 a couple years ago and Id love to get back to that zone. I also know as a coach I cant and shouldn't focus on that but its hard, and Im only human.
I am extremely grateful for my members and the community at KV Crossfit, they make this process so much better.
Its been a crazy week. Ill get back to daily posting next week.

Week 3

WEEK 3

So I'm three weeks in. My knee is marginal at best still. So that tells me I still need to dial it back some. This whole next week I will be taking off. Its good every 3-4 months to take an extended rest 5 days or so. This will be my extended rest week. I will still do mobility. This weeks WODS have been good, I'm just trying to keep a positive frame of mind. Its hard , its very hard, to stuff that competitor deep down, and watch everyone get better, watch my competition get better, watch the young guns crush stuff. Meanwhile this old dog sits in the corner with his chew toy, barking at shadows and remembering what it used to be like. MEH. Anyway. Will work hard to fight that depression. Need to find some outlet, something to keep me occupied. On the plus side my shoulders feel stronger.

Enjoy the weekend.
