5'10. These are all 1rms taken within the last 2 months. Crossfit football is a program designed by John Wellborn a former NFL player who kinda likes crossfit and kinda doesn't. I can see people immediately being turned off just from the CF name but if they did some reading its quite good. You can watch his interview with Rip here:
Rip and Wellbourn
IMO Wellbourn likes crossfit in the sense they have the idea right but execution wrong i.e.
Metcon - yes
1987294692164 box jumps - no
Pull ups - yes weighted - yes
Kipping - no
Paleo - yes
Milk - yes
Belt/straps/shoes - yes
Basically anything to get stronger he is behind. On crossfitfootball.com you can see they have 3 strength wods prior to the daily wod. Amateur (me) colleigiate, and professional. Ams. start off with a week looking typically like
Mon 3x5 BS, 3x5 strict press
Tues 5rm DL
Wed off
Thurs 3x5BS 3x5 BP
Friday 3-3-3-3-3 PC
Sat conditioning
It has been quite hard adjusting to this volume since I have never touched anything remotely close to this. The metcons are great and complete ass kickers.
November I start working on my split jerk footwork and squat snatches. I have 2 months to get 250lbs over my head (year goal) and my previous C+J 1rm is at 225. I will try to be adding as much of my Oly stuff as possible as that is what I am interested in the most.
Since today is Sunday I have the green light on food. This is after a 2 hour massage by some blind thai who destroyed my hips and shoulder. I have used a lacrosse ball and PVC for many hours but having a knee jammed into your IT band for a minute straight is a new kind of pain.
Pics or it didn't happen
Padkapow! 4 eggs, rice, and pork. This will be how I pull 400 and CJ 250.
Little bit of coffee milk to wash it down.
