Day 3 traning

Today was a strength day type w.o.d. made up of 5 rounds back and fourth shoulder press with keetle bell swings. My press was at 115 with kb swings at 53 pounds. Managed to bang out all 5 rounds of swings unbroken ( 25 each set) struggled a bit with the press though. Deadlifts were good although I didnt eat enough today because I kept getting dizzy on the deadlifts. My 1 rep max was a mere 325, not my best but you have those days sometimes. My wife & Nick had good break throughs today. Nick managed his first 53 pound kb swing on his last 3 rounds & Amy got all hers un-broken at 35 pounds, then she ran 3 miles with a fellow crossfiter. Looking forward to tomorrows w.o.d.

The journay ahead

Names Saverio Ward people call me Sev for short. I operate out of Crossfit Redline in Napels FL. led by our fearless leader Anthony Dissario. Been doing this for about 11 months & still fell like Im only just begining to scratch the surface on what Crossfit has to offer. After having met OPT this past week I felt really inspired by this mans dedication to the sport and decided to train for the qualifer that is fastly approching us. I am sure that this will be an tough road ahead of me but Im willing to make the journy. I just started training from OPT,s site so Tuesday was my second official day of training. I started at 155 on the front squat and topped out 190. The first round of pull-ups started at 41,30,25,20,20. My handstand push-ups were horrible, managed to get a 43ft vertical jump (never jumped that high in my life!) and got all but the last round of ghd sit-ops unbroken. Big thanks to taning partner Nick for pushing me through those w.o.ds. Today is rest day so thats what Im going to do. My back hurts & I got blisters on me fingers.
