    • The videos remind me how fortunate I am that when I was first interested in CrossFit, CFSBK turned out to be the gym closest to me. That was my sole criterion in deciding where to give it a shot.

      Really can’t wait for the Fit 55+ one!

  3. After 3.5 years of CrossFit, I might have my first injury!!!

    The muscle by my spine in the middle of my back is tender to the touch, is slightly painful when I breathe or bend over, and hurt when I rolled it, unlike the good pain I feel when I roll muscles out.

    I’ve iced it, taken Advil and Tylenol.

    Do you think it’s a strained muscle?

    I felt it on Monday, took a rest day. Went to AG strength last night and survived, but really felt it and couldn’t make up Monday’s workout after.

    I probably should not do today’s workout, right? Does anyone else have any suggestions or ideas what it is??

    I have literally never pulled or strained anything!! I am so sad.

    • Allie, if it’s tender to the touch and painful to move around then perhaps you strained a spinal erector, you’d have to show me to confirm. Regardless yes, take a few days off and return at soonest when it’s a dull discomfort but is pain free, not tender to touch, feels fine moving around. Give it 2-3 days at least then check in with me via email or text. It’s the kinda thing where proper rest and recovery goes a long way and where trying to work around it can exacerbate things easily.

  4. 10am w/Keith

    Tempo LBBS: 95×8, 105x8x2
    105 was perfect, plenty left but plenty for today. This tempo will be an adventure week by week. Also, are we supposed to be doing these high bar? Or does it not matter?

    WOD: 13:57 scaled to 6 jumping pull ups, 6 pushups, rx KB
    I thought I might be able to do a chin up + banded pull up situation, but the push ups of course killed any chance of that. Still, 60 pushups from my toes is hella good for me! Mostly did these in 2s. Elbow felt better today, nothing gnarly like yesterday – going to keep icing though. Did one kipping pull up after the WOD just to confirm I still indeed have ONE. It was a long way up to the top but we got there. Phew.

  5. Back squat: 100x8x3
    Kept it conservative to start because I missed so much squatting last cycle. Lauren noticed I wasn’t pausing long enough at the bottom on the second set so first set probably wasn’t done to the true tempo.

    WOD in 16:45
    Did 1 pullup or chinup, 2 pullups, 3C2B. So sad I had to switch to chinups after three rounds (and squeezed in a fourth strict pullup in a later round). I really thought I could do more because of AG Strength. Maybe I’m just tired. Haven’t taken a rest day since Friday. Needed rest before the C2B and had to do them as singles after the third or fourth round. Had a few reps that weren’t legit, but didn’t no rep myself. Broke up pushups from the start as 4-4, then had to do 4-2-2. KBS were grippy.

  6. 430 with Lauren!

    This new back squat tempo had me crawling out from under the bar. Stuck to #135 across the board. It will be interesting to see what changes in 8 weeks. Thanks to Samir and Rob for keeping me honest with the tempo.

    Metcon: 14:41
    Did the prescribed pull-up complex as follows
    1 strict pu+ 2 butterfly’s, break, 3 c2b butterflies.
    Stuck with this and it felt good

    Pushups were hard but consistent. This was a fun workout to work on many things I need help with!

    Then, made it traffic free all the way up to my parents for a weekend of food, and family. Happy thanksgiving to everyone!!🦃
