Venting!!!

Since no one really reads my blog, I feel it’s somewhat safe to vent here with out directly hurting someone’s feelings. (This is a ‘kinder’ outlet than posting it on Facebook as I really want to do). If they happen to read this then….that’s their nosey fault.

I haven’t been to OCCF in 3 weeks for two reasons: 1) I had Positional Vertigo that was ongoing but became really bad for about two weeks. 2) The programing at OCCF SUCKS!!!! In my opinion, it seems since the Open WODs for the Games started the daily programing WODs have become WEAK!! Yes, I said it, WEAK!! They all seem to be body weight or metcon WODS. WTH!! I am not there to lose weight. I am there to improve my overall fitness and I can’t do that if I am doing a bunch of bodyweight workouts for a month. Besides I pay to be trained. I don’t need training in my body weight movements (that is if I actually got any real training at OCCF). I need training on the Olympic movements or gymnastic movements but how can I do that if the WODs are pull-ups/pushups/ box jump/ air squat combinations. If it’s not a body weight WOD then it is a weighted shoulder press. It’s amazing how many people at OCCF have shoulder issues. (me included)

Example of today’s WOD:

As many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of: 30 Box Jump - 24" Boxes

20 Push Presses 115 lbs

30 Pull-ups

I haven’t been sitting on my booty for the last 3 weeks. I have been going to the Globo gym that cross fitters seem to despise soooo much. At least I can get a decent work out there!!! I can’t drop the weight so I can’t go heavy but then it’s forcing me to do a 195lb deadlift with perfect form. At least it’s a goal that will help me reach my 225lb mark. Today I think I will do Cleans or dumb bell snatches depending on bar I can get on….that is the only down side of Globo gym.
