Filthy 50 tomorrow so resting today.

[Team Dragonfire]

Friday, January 18th, 2008

3xCrossFit Warmup (15sec. stretch, 10bw dips, 5 pullups, 10 Overhead Squat with broomstick, 10 Sit-up, 10 Back-extension)

Filthy 50

• 50x box jumps
• 50x jumping pullups
• 50x db swings 35#
• 50x walking lunges
• 5x knees to elbows, 50x bicycle crunches
• 50x push press 45#
• 50x back extensions
• 50x wall ball 30#DB
• 5x burpees, 45x squat thrusts
• 50x double-unders

Notes: Some day forgetting my gym card and realizing it halfway there and driving back home to find it, not finding it, and wasting an hour of my morning... won't matter because my power rack will be occupying half of my 2 car garage and i'll never have to go to globo gym ever again. Doing this thing at lunch today.

Notes 2: Not done as recommended, but I had a limited amount of time before the next gym class came in. Nothing like a bunch of 9th graders to make you change from burpees to squat thrusts. Also I need to start working on my knees to elbows... my abs are NOT strong. Decent endurance, but not strong.

You're a blue belt right? how long have you been training? etc

[Team Dragonfire]

two stripe white belt. i'm gonna need to clean out my divisions at NAGA for my blue. Shouldn't be a problem as I could've won all my matches last year and I am infinitely better now than I was then. I've been training about a year and two months.

..... i wouldnt want to roll with you as a white belt XD

will you be getting video when you compete TD?

[Feature boy]

Out of curiosity, how old are you, TD?

[Team Dragonfire]

the plan right now is to video the matches this time.

I'm 23. That awkward phase of not being a kid, but not really a true adult.

I'll take that as a compliment Foz. I feel better than many white belts at my school, but I also feel leagues below the blue belts so it's a weird spot right now.

Oh wow eh. I figured you were a blue belt because you always commented on how you wipe the floor with the other white belts like they were practice dummies

Its cool we've been training for nearly the same amount of time. I've been training for 18 months now, got my blue around 12. How often per week do you train?

[Team Dragonfire]

2-3 days a week on most weeks.. wish it was more.. it goes up in the summer because i'm a teacher and down in the winter when i have more work to do.


as far as wiping the floor with other white belts... there's two levels of white belts at my school and all the white belts my level have stopped training for the most part.. a few of them are helping my coach get ready for his next fight so they are training with him and not rolling with the class (i.e. way too exhausted to wrestle after sparring so much).. which leaves the new guys behind.

but like i said, the blues and purples at my school are ridiculously good so they keep me humble. When I am starting to submit them, then I know I'm getting somewhere.

Maybe after I win NAGA, I'll feel a bit more confident about my abilities, but I don't mean to come off condescending in the log as far as the other white belts at my school go.
