I will try to be better..................

Working hard at the NZ CrossFit Games Sectionals (check here for all the vids)

A long time between posts. Between work in the Army and at the gym I have been a slacker.

So I will now try to use this as a bit of a training blog and see how that goes.

This week I have been busy assessing and being assessed at work so my workouts have been a little random

Monday I joined the 6pm class at MaD CF for the MetCon
3 RFT:
8 Dumbbell push press @ 30% BW each (20kg each side)
12 Pull-ups
16 KettleBell Swings @ 40% BW (32kg)
Time- 5:25

Tuesday was way too busy so I took a break.

Wednesday (today) was Back squat 5 x 5
120-120-125-125-125kg

Then:

4 RFT:
200 m row
10 KB cross-chops (5/side) – 25% BW
Time - 4:54

Back in NZ...................

I flew back to NZ yesterday so am now fighting a bit of jet lag. The trip to the states was good, I managed to bring back lots of little things for the gym.

A huge thank you to Brandon at CrossFit Tulsa and Eric at Next Generation CrossFit for allowing me to workout at their boxes.


Donna now has her new shoes - Do Wins from Again Faster :-)

We headed out to sort out some stuff for the gym and stopped by a tyre store to see if we could have a tyre or two..............

Didn't quite fit, so we took home a smaller one, but I will get a trailer for the big one :-)

Now I think it is time for a short nap!

A bit of ice and snow.........

Last night we had a bit of an ice storm...

..followed today by 5 inches of snow

Got to love the weather in Tulsa, OK

Just another warehouse?

From the outside.........

You never know what is behind the roller door.

This is Next Generation CrossFit in Tulsa. I hit their 6am class for:
Strength/Skill: 20 Back Squats (225/135), one set.
WOD:
Three rounds, each timed, of:
500m Run
Rest approx. 5 minutes between rounds
1:48-1:49-1:47
This one is a leg burner :-)


Some of the snacks on offer at the firm I am training with. At least they offer great coffee and jerky to offset the Butterfingers and donuts.

It's been too long...........

OK so I am now in Tulsa, Oklahoma for some army training. At the same time I am managing to pick up some stuff for the gym and visit local affiliates.

First stop was CrossFit Tulsa, thanks to Brandon for making me welcome and letting me play with my new shoes.

I am here for a week before heading back to NZ so I hope to hit at least a couple more CrossFit gyms.

In the meantime Donna is holding the fort in NZ. Give her a call or stop by if you live close. A big thanks to Liz for making us both feel at home back in NZ :-)

The stereo gets some elevation

The dip stations look much better with a coat of paint on the timber supports

Transmission resumes...............

Sorry for the break in posts, I guess me going back to work and working at the gym have got in the way.
