Lots of things learned over the 2011 Games Weekend. I have had a lot of time to reconsider why I train and think about how I train. Consistency has been my greatest flaw, so its got to be my focus this year as the 2012 Open approaches.
Will I make the Games? I have no idea, but I will try to make Regionals, wither individually or as a team. Whether realistic of not, that's my goal.
Yesterday 7AM:
5RM Back Squat, warmed up with 95, 135, 185 and hit 225 for 4 then 2. Definite strength gains shown, but not as much as I'd like.
This was followed by 3 rounds for time of 12 70lb swings, 12 24 inch box jumps and 500m hill runs. 8 min thrity-something, I didn't quite hear my time.
Yesterday at around Noon:
Very breif warm-Up and Stretch, followed by 3 rounds of 5 repsof:
175lb Pendlay Row
35lb weighted Pull Ups
I've decided to add pulling and pushing weighted Strength components to my two conditioning days during the week. I like the idea of increased volume, and I need the increased exposure to more exercises. While I'm no genius at programing I think that if I only do the Snatch & C&J than I'll only get stronger there. If I increase the number of exercises slightly, with some variety, it will provide the breadth and depth of strength I am looking for in an increased general physical preparation.
For pulling days I've picked Pendlay Rows, Sumo Deadlift High Pulls and Weigted pull ups. I'll cycle through these three exercises doing two each week, added weight each time, and alternating between 5x3 and 3x5.
For pushing days I thought that weighted push ups, presses and (shudder) bench press should do the trick. Again alternating between 3x5 and 5x3 and rotating exercises each 'pushing' day.
Along with that I finally went with a protein & recovery drink plan... PROGENEX got me. Since getting into Olympic Lifting I've leaned out, probably due to volume, to a bodyweight hovering right between 165-168. I'd like to add 15-20 lbs of muscle between now and New Years. I'll try to keep a record of any perceived effects to my general health or well-being. Since I've walked around at 180 before, I know I can do it. But that was years ago and I completely stopped running in that time. This time I want it to be good, lean muscle that won't go away as soon as I run a bit or stop supplementing.

Get into the week. Love it.
The 2011 CrossFit Games are coming. I'm excited, very excited.
Monday, heard back that this little blog does not an affiliate make. CF HQ let me know that without a presence on base, what I do doesn't quite hit the mark of military affiliate. More on that later, other things are more important right now. But I was perhaps a bit presumptuous and high-concept. When I train clients on base and we are on base, that's a military affiliate, that makes sense. In hindsight, it may have been ambitious to say the least.
Monday:
Warm Ups, included 135 back Squats & deadlifts as well as a 500m row with the standard mobility and practice lifts
Heavy Clean and Jerk, W/Us and worked to 175lbs
Snatches, 15x1 on a 1:30 clock all at 115lbs
Tuesday:
7am class. Uh, yes... SEVEN. A. M.
3x5 Back Squats at 205, along with 5x ring strength sequence
WOD, glorious WOD....
AMRAP in 10 minutes 5 deadlifts @275, 10 walking lunges, 15 push ups
8 rounds flat, good fun.
Still rocking the MCMAP sessions Friday AMs, going to have to work some fun into their warm ups eventually.

Post-week observations
A very happy 30th Birthday to Tiffany today. She's still with me, although most of our friends have no idea why. She is my reason to be, and she is magnificent.
This week went out with a muffled bang, as we went to San Fran for carousing and birthday delights. But Weds, Thurs and Sat I oantained the new schedule, except that Saturday I did wimp out on post olympic lifts work (squats and presses). I will give this program its due until it is done. Monday will see presses revisited as penance of sorts.
Next weekend: the 2011 Reebok|CrossFit Games. I am ready.

Truckin', I got my chips cashed in...
I just keep truckin' on. Yesterday I began a new weightlifting schedule.
It follows:
Mon/Weds/Sat Oly lifts.
Tues/Thurs Squats & WOD.
The Mon/Weds Oly lifts are volume lifts at a percentage of 1RM max following a heavy single of the other lift. I did this yesterday, working up to a 145 SN (Heavy, but not a mx for the day by any means) then did 165lbs C&J (BW) 10x1.
My last program last 6 weeks, didn't include much in the way of WODs and I was not doing MCMAP. I have added a fair amount of cycling )to and from campus 2x a day) and 4 hours of throwing, grappling and hitting bags on Fridays weekly.
On another note, Tiffany got weightlifting shoes, but they are slightly too small. We'll see how that goes, she may return them, we shall see.

Grinding on.
Saturday, tried to max snatch and clean and jerk, followed by Front Squats.
Snatches, worked up to 155, missed 160x2, moved on.
Clean and Jerk, worked up to 185, failed 192.5x2 and moved on.
Front Squats: I took some key advice from Tiffany, (yes, she's coaching me and I'm listening :-)) so I pushed my knees out and forced a change in my squat. The change worked, no more pain after the squats. I know I'm missing heavy cleans from not squating heavy weight.
From 95 worked up in doubles and triples to 205 for 1. Knees out all the way down and all the way up. This led to a curious amount of soreness. Soreness, not pain.
Monday I took about 45 minutes to play.
-Ring push ups
-Ring rows
-Snatch Pulls
-1 Hang Clean followed by 1 front squat
-presses
-ab mat sit ups
Still biking to from campus, leads to a lot of extra hunger. Eating as clean and as much as I can.

Throwdown at Monterey
Last night my wife and I took part in a throw down of sorts with CrossFit Salinas Valley hosted by CrossFit Monterey. Three WODs followed by a good time with BBQ and adult beverages.
WOD one was a 3RM back squat. I laid up a light 235. THat was pretty cheesy of me, I know. My back squats need to get more attention and more weight.
WOD two was a two man effort of sand bag hill sprints and 5 185 lb cleans, my partner wasn't able to RX it, so we went at 165. Cleans were the chink in his armor, and he only finished the first round of three at 160, the others were 145 and 135. He showed a lot of heart throwing himself under a very heavy weight and we had a good time.
WOD three was a four man fire team event. 100 reps of four out of five elements of Fight Gone Bad, for time. One person exercises at a time. WE rocketed through it a a team. I tried to finish up as many reps of as many things as I could, as usual wallball was my archnemesis.
Tomorrow I'll be calling Casey R. from CF Fort Meade for Another Crossfitter's POV, part II. Check it out.

Path to Black belt
Today I started on the final steps towards my black belt as a Marine Corps Martial Arts Instructor. Marines at NPS plan classes around each quarter. It gives you the opportunity to go through from grey belt to black belt if you pursue the next belt each quarter the entire time you are here.
Although I'm not sure I feel good about this type of pursuit of belts, I do know I am happy to get back to training again. We'll meet once a week for a four hour session of sustainment teaching and integration of techniques.
It has been since spring of 2009 since I taught a MCMAP class, but it was like getting back on a bike.
This quarter I will be worried more about reviewing my brown belt and lower techniques. Next quarter I will commit to learning and graduating as a black belt MCMAP Instructor.
I do know it's about damn time.

Another week into the fire...
So you want to get a funded education? Better be ready for lots of classroom hours, studying... and boredom.
Yeah, boredom. It happens. The 'routine is the enemy', that was one of the lines that caught my eye so long ago when I first read "World Class Fitness in 100 Words" by Greg Glassman. I've done a linear strength progression for about 6 weeks, and unsurprisingly I am not as enthusiastic about it now as when I started.
So I start finding ways around the program.
Man, I'm tired today, shouldn't do the presses at the end....
Front squats, damn--I gotta take a dump...
Back squats? are you shitting me?
There's been no end to it, after week four (or maybe it was mid week four) I wasn't that enamored with getting under the barbell. The routine became the enemy instead of becoming my friend as I'd hoped it would.
So, another review is in order, and some variety.
Today I did a 7am WOD:
15 minute AMRAP
10 KTEs
10 Presses 115 (dropped to 95 after rd 1)
10 Air Squats
I managed 5 rds, plus 10 plus 6.
It felt very good to be off the routine.

Oly Lifting program re-eval
Tday, between Info Science for DoD and Algebra/Trig review:
W/U:500m row, pass throughs, wide grip deadhang pull ups, ring dips, box step up/squat combo
Snatch: 95,105,115,125,135,140,145,150,155,160FLx2
C&J:135x2,165,175,185 then had to jet due to aforementioned algebra.
Time just isn't there to work up to a max snatch and a max c&j between classes.
Got to re-evaluate and get back into a routine.
On another note, applied to formally become a military affiliate of CF Inc.

How great I am.
Just a quick Happy Birthday to my Dad, Rich Hoffner. Retired Cheltenham P.D. Detective, former Coast Guard Petty Officer and all around great American. Through his hard work and character he taught me many lessons, even when I didn't want to hear them, even when he didn't know he was teaching them.
Happy Birthday Dad, I love you.
A week in review
Week six of the Olympic Weightlifting days.
Started off with the first days of lifting in our new garage gym, pictures to follow. Jacob, Mariah and Nathan from CF Monterey joined Tiffany and me for a few hours of lifting followed by a simple BBQ. Tiffany made some amazing guacamole and bbq sauce from scratch, check that and her other creations out at www.thecavegirldish.com.
July 4th: Snatch max was 160 (new personal best), worked up to 190 on C&J. It was one of those days where that just felt really heavy, maybe from all the misses on the snatch (hit all of my last 4 lifts on third attempts.)
July 6th: AM Snatch volume, warmed up and worked up to 10 singles at 130. This was a first, as I haven't PRed my snatch in awhile and it felt really good. Landing tight, pulling just enough, I may not be extending fully though.
PM WOD: 3 rds of 2 dumbell split cleans (alt legs), 4 db push press, 8 db push jerks, 16 double unders RXed in 8:10 with 55lb dumbells.
July 7th: Clean and Jerk volume, warmed up, worked up and did 10 singles at 165. This was a bit over what I should be hitting on a volume day. Haven't PRed in a while on C&J so I upped it to BW, only 5lbs but I thought it may help. Had a few reps Tiff said weren't fully extending, power cleaning more or less. Need focus and practice as well as fast hips getting under the bar.
July 8th: Maxed both SN and CJ. Snatch, worked up to 145 successfully, failed 155 repeatedly. C&J, worked up to 195 successfully, failed 205 four times.
Wish I had some video of that to anayze, I'll think of that next time.
Overall the weightlifting is fun enough

Many things happening in many days
Been about two weeks since my last post. So much time, so few pounds added to my snatch. Actually, I've added another 5 lbs to my snatch, current PR is 160, up 20 lbs since getting here which isn't too shabby.
So as to my many posts, there haven't really been many.
We moved into a new house and I created a kick-ass garage gym. Two care garage with about 9 foot ceilings, enough for snatches and presses for anyone my height easily. Cement floor (so far) to support dropping of weight.
Right now it's as set up as I planned for this point, but there will be more progress later. A little bit of flooring or a lifting platform would help, and place to hang rings and maybe a rope are in order. Time will tell.

Why does it all fall to $h#t?!?!
One would imagine that the intent and focus I described in my last post would indicate how nothing would stand between me and my goals. Nothing except I conspiracy of time and all elements of life. Today is the last day of the most extended period of leave of my entire 17 year Marine Corps career. This long period of 'inactivity' has provided me some of the most dedicated training time I've ever known as a CrossFitter, which is ironic considering I've hardly done any CrossFit in this time. All the weightlifting has been a great experience though, don't get me wrong.
Now, will I be able to push the gains I've got going in this regard?
Will I make my aforementioned goals in ~10 days time?
Rather than lose ground or plateau due to the return to a regular work schedule it is time to reign in my other pursuits, and use the time more wisely. The next few days will determine the next two years in many ways and I will not allow myself to lose sight of any of the goals I've set.

Patience and white noise
There's a very clear reason people follow linear progressions for strength training--they work.
For several weeks I've followed an Olympic Weightlifting progression with very good results in both the snatch and clean & jerk numbers. After just this three weeks I am experiencing firsthand the 'drive' that is essential to create powerful weightlifters. Overall I do know that I want the health and fitness benefits conveyed from the time spend jumping and landing with the barbell. And I see that linear progression training for strength and power may not actually be such a bad idea... in moderation. There also seems to be more benefit to progressive, unrelenting pursuit of known and knowable goals than I previously believed.
Coming into this I was hopeful yet skeptical. Nevertheless I set some very high goals (BW snatch and 225 C&J) for myself to attain by 4th of July weekend. The first three weeks have shown a gain of 15lbs in the snatch and 10lbs in the clean and jerk. Will I make the goals? I'll do the work, we'll see about the weight. But there's more to weightlifting than just the weight.

30 days and 30 nights
Yesterday I spoke to my wife about this little web presence. Rather, my total lack of commitment to this web presence. There's a definite pattern. Man blogs, man slacks off on blogging, man returns to blog to blog about slacking on blogging.
We've moved again, this time to a very anti-climatic Central California Coast. Summer here is like, well, it's like fall anywhere else we've been, and winter in some parts of the south. Add to that a month long stay in a hotel before our house is ready and so far it hasn't made for the best change of climate from sunny SoCal.
At least the traffic is... well, there isn't any. At least there's that.

There it goes again.
Just when I thought I'd get back on the blog train to happyville.... BOOM. Another period devoid of writing anything. What's a Crossfitting, paleo eating, happily married Marine Officer to do? I guess my expectations are unrealistic. This little thing of mine is supposed to be a labor saving labor of love. A workout logbook to prevent me from keeping a workout logbook. But whenever I reassert my intent to resume writing I once again backslide into silence.
Lots of walking.
The dogs have appreciated it and I've made the time now that I'm at home with all the post deployed leave. After reading De Vany's new book I took to the idea of tking ramblin walks. Since the pooches need the exercise and i enjoy the contemplative time we take half hour walks and I'm tryig to condition them to even longer walks.
Reading.
I cracked the books and finished The Paleolithic Solution by Robb Wolf and The New Evolution Diet by Art De Vany. Now I'm reading Lights Out: Sleep, Sugar and Survival by T.S. Wiley. Reading may not be a WOD but it's been refreshing the roots of the tree if you'll allow me the romantic allusion. I'd be better off getting my head caged right than getting into my squat cage.
Love and Marriage.
I heard a trite but true turn of a phrase: happy wife, happy life. This isn't about me and my tranquility though. My life has been incredible blessed by a wonderful woman. So whatever we can do together, we do. This simple life hack has created more peace of mind, has assisted my transition back to 'real life' and led to more incredible memories for both of us.
Next?
We move, live, work, run, lift, love and eat. More barbells, fear, joy and bacon. Who knows if I can actually get through a linear back squat program or ever press 200 lbs.
But I will keep doing work.

Need to dial it in.
How much does a program matter?
I'd like to go back to throwing down at anything without ryhme or reason. To my dismay I've had more than a little trouble getting my head in he game without a plan. It's been a month since I left Afghanistan and CF LNK. Without the very static routine over there I have not been able to fix my sights on a program. Cut loose and goin off CFOC 'programming' I do not feel like I'm getting my best work done.
This will have to change.
Today I rearranged the garage gym. Didn't really work out but I did set up a sound system.
Immediate Goal: Do squats tomorrow morning.
Midterm Goal: Write a 30 day program.
I'd like to go back to throwing down at anything without ryhme or reason. To my dismay I've had more than a little trouble getting my head in he game without a plan. It's been a month since I left Afghanistan and CF LNK. Without the very static routine over there I have not been able to fix my sights on a program. Cut loose and goin off CFOC 'programming' I do not feel like I'm getting my best work done.
