james tatum and travis cooper of team mdusa, getting in some work during a snow storm.

and by work i mean playing around with weights heavier than my max.

14.2

Well I'm glad that's over. I'm always impressed with the brutal combinations of movements that they can come up with for the open. 

My score 85. Yea I know watch out rich, but hey that's why I'm a professional scaled athlete.

 But 6 reps better than the first run through where my strategy went to crap. Came out to fast the first time and my forearms exploded. Not that going at a slower pace helped my forearms the second time either. 

So what did I take away from this open workout. I will need to work on my forearm/grip strength. I have recently read that some farmer walks with dumb bells with help. So I plan on adding those in whenever I can. 

Or maybe I'll start light with that shake weight. And yes this pick is real it was in a hotel fitness center.

CF Open 14.1

CF Open 14.1

On friday i started the cross fit open season by competing in the 2014 cross fit open.

the first workout was

14.1

10 AMRAP (as many reps as possible in 10 minutes)

30 double unders

15 ground to overhead @ 75#

my score was - 253 reps- so 5 full rounds plus 28 double unders

my score a month ago when preparing was 4 full rounds plus 30 double unders and 13 G2overhead

a 30 rep PR. (not bad)

a lot of members at CF said they had problems with the grip and forearms blowing up.

i didn't have that problem, but also didn't get into as many rounds as they did, lol.

i did however feel like my heart and lungs were on fire, with minor case of Fran cough. 

Going to try it again today before the snow storm hits, cause the way the news is predicting the snow will have the gym closed tomorrow. 

we are calling it 14.1.2 at the gym for everyone who is going at it a second time. hopefully with a few extra reps this time.
