I'm 6 feet tall, 180lbs (maybe after Thanksgiving dinner), and I have trouble filling out the shoulders in a "smedium" t-shirt. But that doesn't mean I can't be strong. Don't be confused: this blog is not about how a hard gainer can pack on the pounds. It's unhealthy to put on useless weight, and quite frankly, I haven't figured out how to do it. This is quite simply a detailed account of how I train to be strong, even though I'm built like a 6th grader.

(During the CF Games last year, I got 16+1. I don't know if it was coming off of night shifts, or the heavy lifting before, or mentally I just wasn't there...but I'm stronger and more conditioned that at this point last year and I certainly should have done better.)

Saturday 10.15.11
Warmup:
Literally 6 pushups, 20 Double-Unders, putting on my lifting shoes, taping my wrists pink for "Barbells for Boobs", and 1 practice C&J.
WOD:
"Grace"
-30 Clean and Jerks @ 135#
3:10 (PR)
I had no intentions of doing this WOD whatsoever. I came in today completely beat up, ate McDonald's for breakfast, didn't warmup at all, and managed to PR by almost 2 minutes. I guess all the training coming into today is to thank for it, because I certainly didn't prepare properly today. Glad we had a "coaches heat" to inspire me to join in our awesome event!
