Yoga Pants Por Vida - Niki's Training Log

[kpsmiley]

I got some comp PRs and a total PR, but they were too small to outweigh the fact that my previous PL PR's were in the lower weight class (which I was 11lbs lighter for).

I think you are being too critical on your performance. A PR is something to be proud of. If this was an off day, just think what you will be able to do when you have an "on" day.

Looks like progress to me, even despite not 9/9.

You sold your soul to #unclerip and allow him to take selfies with you.

Get right into the fucking sea with this question. Undoubtedly 727s would fix all your ills. That you would even ask implies that the answer to your first question, if asked properly, would be in the negative.

I've got some major soul searching ahead of me.

-Doing NoseTork and walking onto the platform like a meth-crazed zombie with the "equipped lifter" posture even though you're not equipped.
-Watching every single one of Steven Seagal's films, especially the later ones where he only mumbles and you have to have the subtitles on.

hahahahaha

I seem to recall about a year ago, at the last conference, you said CrossFit is for sad people. So the question is: are you sad?

lol, I forget how funny I am when I'm not sad.

This description is entirely accurate. At some point I started to also consider that the air quality had degenerated over the course of the day with all the bodies in there, that the gym had turned into an environment perhaps more suitable for growing plants, and started taking regular visits outside to get some fresh air.

Regardless, still a great job, even though not everything went as well as you would have liked.

Indeed! Very greenhousy.

Thank you.

Sometimes, late weekday mornings on a day off work, I've been the only member training there. Atlanta Barbell can seem somewhat cavernous when it's empty. But sure enough, put 300 or so people in there, in the dog days of August in the Deep South, and the ecosystem becomes hothouse.

That cue you gave me on SQ was all I thought about in my 3rd attempt, after missing the same weight on my second.

It's true, it was far from a home court advantage after all.

That's excellent, John. I'll be trolling your log promptly for a meet recap.

not sure how I missed your log on here, but holy shit you're one strong chick.

Thanks, heavyiron8. Looking to get stronger (and less whiny). A 440 pull would, nay WILL, be epic.

Comgrats on your meet PRs! You'll be able to set even more at Nationals, especially if you're hitting meet PRs on an off day.

My Wilks went down over 8pts, so that's no bueno. So, onward to bettering that at Nationals!
