Catching up...

This past week I decided the home gym is the best way to get things done (what with the new addition, grad school and a desire for a stable--even happy---marriage).

It works, and if I can get 3/4 workouts a week that will double my average of the last six months.

So far the main lack/fault is recording my progress. This may be linked to a lack of a direct goal I'm out to accomplish. Don't get me wrong I do have some general goals: fitness (GPP), a 315 squat, a 400 deadlift and the 2016 CrossFit games masters (of course). But it's all kind of amorphous. The goal of fatherhood and academia take precedence right now. God help me once I have a real job to add to the mix.

Some if the WODs the past two weeks, don't ask what dates:

HBBS: 2X5 @ 80%, 2X3 @ 85%, 3X1 @ 90% – rest 60 sec.
All based off 295

What I'm doing lately will be here:

But not necessarily always recorded HERE. Time is a cruel mistress.

Today was
EMOM7 power clean+push press+hang squat clean @185

Then three rounds for time:
200m run
25 pull ups
25 squats with 45 lbs

Been neglecting again

But then in fairness they only thing I am not neglecting is family... so the rest can rot at times.

Today:

15 (mistakenly went for 12) minutes to establish a 2rm High-Hang Snatch (full squat).

155, missed 1 attempt at 165.

-then-

4 rds for time:
800m run
20 HSPU
DNF with 13 to go ~22 minutes when my 1:30 was up (actually I was already late).

Couple knee taps on the snatches, but saved them all.
Running isn't there anymore, not how it used to be.  I will work more 800s and some longer technique runs.  Maybe the dogs could use a few trots every week, that used to help.
It's coming back, all of it. Why? because, well, see above.

Climbing

Yesterday
New back squat PR: 295(+5)
Cindy: 21+5/5

Two months

So it appears I haven't posted for 2 full months.

Not sure why. But I need to get back on the wagon now in so many ways.

My time hasn't been my own lately, more and more I'm missing workouts.

Time to get back after it. No excuses.

Worked hard this week

Started following the local affiliate's competitor programming. Although it hurts to say it I'm the most pathetic competitor ever.

I did get a 245 front squat, a 4lb PR.

I also made a 1 rep Nate PR.

Helen in 8:20 today too, but no pr.

Back to individual WOD posts tomorrow.

Gone with the wind... Sing it.

Skill

15 minutes Handstand/Handstand Walk practice.

Notes: Try to spend the majority of this time inverted. If you can only get into a handstand against a wall, then try to play with balancing just the wall. If you can freestand, then attempt to walk. If you can walk practice turns. Etc.

Back on the Wagon

Started doing TOW again, after a few weeks of horrible fitness commitment and a quarter of academia induced sloth.

Needless to say everything hurts.

GOing off a week back, to see how that treats me under the schedule I have to keep now with the combination of the baby and the PhD journey.

4/3/26

Believe you me, I do intend to do good things, but life gets in the way.
I spent this academic quarter (my first three months as a new Dad) hardly working out. It may not have been the healthiest decision, but I'm doing it.
Missed a few, but did do a 24:05 Badger one day... anyway it's time to get back on track.

Cost me dearly
