  Was at the Swedish CrossFit championships yesterday.  Really good time.  In fact, I think I may just take it upon myself to do it next year.  A lot of you know I’m really into HIT, and to be honest, it’s friggin harder than the limited Crossfit stuff that I’ve seen and done, but it doesn’t have the same appeal as CrossFit does.  In addition to that, I’m really having trouble with my social life, and would love to meet some people I can connect with on some level, so I think I may join CrossFit STHLM.  I feel like most people are so put off by the lifestyle that I live that they are kind of crossing me off their list before they really get a chance to know me, and that’s not so fun.  On the other hand, I’m very guilty of that myself, so I’m figuring there’s likely some kind of underlying give and take that has to happen here. 

   In other news…I might have blogged this already, but I filmed last weekend.  Had a pretty tough workout at the military base.  It was my second HIT session in a couple of months and it went alright.  Not a whole lot more than alright, but it went alright.  I started with some lunges and single legged deads which I loaded MUCH too light and ended up winding myself a lot more than I had planned.  That made it really tough to get through the rest of the exercises. 

   This past friday I had my 3rd HIT session of the last few months, this one a killer…I really pushed.  I had 5 buddies around me, egging me on, so I had to bump it up a notch.  Not too sore afterwards though, so that was nice.  Although, I was able to do deadlifts for the first time in a hell of a long time(YES!!!) and my hams are still bitchin at me. 

 The workout looked like this:

     Deads+Lunges+Plate Push+Stiff Arm Pulldown+Chins+Bent Over Laterals+Seated Row+DB Chest Press+Dips+DB Shoulder Press.

 All taken to failure or negative failure.  Just keepin it real, yo.
