patricksays
4 1/2 hours of interupted rest (not even sleep). Instead of doing today’s WOD, I’m working on my deadlift form. With both the deadlift and squat, I’ve been rounding my back a little when I get to the bottom of the movement.
That pelvic tilt is a result of tight hamstrings pulling your ischial tuberosity and thus your pelvis out of alignment. Your hamstrings are a Lot stronger than your lower back muscles and no matter how hard you try and set your back, you will always get that rounding unless you start an aggressive stretching routine.
If you come to class tonight i can show you some stretches to help you get deep in that hole.

i got 6.5 hours roughly. i am a light sleeper. wind can wake me up. it’s not fun at all! the night before i dont think i ever slept, or maybe i dreamt that i was just barely awake. the only nights i can sleep like a rock is if we do some crazy wod, otherwise i just cant get deep sleep.

i found this blog after looking around for ways to tape my hands so they dont get so torn up kipping. pretty simple, and it has some good feedback on this guys method…
I got about 6 or 7 hours total, though not uninterrupted.
Bfast – boiled egg eaten in Union Square’s police station while filling out STOLEN WALLET report.
I was pickpocketed!!!!

Sorry to hear that Margie, hope nothing irreplaceable was lost.
5 hrs last night, 4-5 on avg. Working nights has jacked me up.
Can’t make it tonight(got called in) so I subbed 14 hspu’s for the presses, 8 with abmat underhead, 6 without, only one negative.Subbed push ups for the ring dips – 35, 21, 17worked my pistols on my patio ledge – 5×3 per legAll hip flexibility work and shoulder dislocations 3×10
Had one of those light going off in my head moments during the cleans where I realized that the faster I got my elbows around, the less the bar crashed on to my chest. I have probably been told that 100 times in as many ways, but it didn’t really click until just then.
Unless this project hits a screeching halt tomorrow, I should be seeing you all in class on Saturday.

I read an artile on strong lifts recently on glute activation. While doing some overhead squats to warm up today, I realized that I definitely was not using my glutes the way I’m supposed to when squatting. Once I started squeezing those properly, I was flying out of the hole.
Now I’m exited to do some squat work with this new knowledge.

Is anyone else using http://Logsitall.com to keep up with their stats? I created an account and entered a few workouts from my notebook yesterday. I found it pretty tedious from a usability standpoint, but long-term it might be useful for progress tracking if I can get past those issues and use it regularly.

Margie: AT LEAST until the Games.
I’m on 10 blocks.
I try to do a workout before breakfast and like to break my blocks up into 5 2 block meals.
I’m dropping fat like crazy. Glassman said he can’t believe how fast I’m responding to the diet and how my body is changing.
I’m recovering faster. I’m able to do 3 workouts a day with energy to spare.
I feel lighter and faster but I’m putting up bigger numbers than I ever have. Good combination.
I’m not having crazy hunger pains or intense cravings anymore. I didn’t think they would ever stop. I still feel hungry throughout the day but it’s only a little and I’ve comfortable with the feeling.
I didn’t think I would ever be successful with the diet. I also thought I was going to prove Greg wrong and that I was the exception to the rule. I Was Wrong. The Zone is working.
I can’t wait to see where it takes me.
