Tuesday, September 13, 2011, Check-In

[muck_a_luck]

Hey, EED community!

Here is your daily check-in post! Hope everyone is having a great day!

If you are posting for the first time, or new to the community, please review the community's standards, below.


1. Mod (that's me!) will post a Daily Check In post, for those who prefer to note their daily activities in response to a prompt. Please only place exercise comments here.

2. All members are encouraged to post daily independent posts about their activities, if they prefer that to a prompt.

3. Please place any NON-EXERCISE comments in independent update posts and behind a cut. Some people are sensitive to discussion of diet and nutrition. That is integral to many people's exercise activities, so I want members to be able to discuss that, but for those who are here strictly to log exercise, I would like them to be able to avert their eyes.

4. Everyone is encouraged to introduce themselves, discuss their exercise goals, and post updates on their activities. "I finally made it to running a mile!" or "I kicked up into handstand today!" are updates that we all want to hear about and share! Please put long posts and entries involving diet and nutrition behind a cut, though.

5. Aside from intro posts and injury announcements, please try to include an exercise update in every post.

Yoga-like stretching.

Morning yoga, two and a half hours sitting around interspersed with very lackadaisical climbing (still wiped from Sunday).

Standard Arms and abdominals
1 mile on the treadmill @ 2.5mph average.

Now that my endocrine system is done whalloping my ass, I'm going to start trying to walk for time again, not just distance.

Biked to CrossFit, CrossFat, biked home.

The CrossFitting included a 1.4 km run, plus some squats, push-ups, and rotations to warm up.

Then three and a quarter rounds (for me -- it's all I could manage in 15 minutes) of the following:

• Strict press, 5 per arm: 20 kg first round, 16 kg on subsequent rounds because after the first round my shoulders said "Fuck you, buddy."


• Sumo deadlift high pull, 15 reps: 32 kg each round


• Deadlift clean, 5 per arm: 20 kg each round


• Russian swing, 15 reps: 32 kg

I think the 32 kg bell was overkill for me, but I really wanted to try the "Rx for men" weight. I ended up splitting each set with that bell into 2 or 3 mini-sets.

Skated 2 miles outdoors today (home from work) and then skated a little bit more with my mom, and then derby practice! We did a really evil endurance drill, and a whole lot of whipping and positional blocking. FUN but I am dead now.
