Life

Note to those going through it (& myself)

I only feel guilty about 2 things in life; being late to appointments & eating too much sweets.

I tell you that because I have released myself from guilt about not training as much as I'd like. Art shows & injuries have pushed/ pulled me off my preferred level & frequency of training A HUNDRED times. In retrospect, I found that if I'd have eased off the training throttle by a little, most of the injuries could have been avoided.

Do you acquire guilt from being pulled kicking & screaming from "full time" training. Do you experience fear of loosing all your hard earned adaptations? How much guilt & how mal-adapted will you become if you can not train at all? I know I hate playing catch up after a period of life & / or career getting in the way of my training. But the trick is still stoking the fire while you get situated for the next big push. Feeling guilt or fear is not helpful. Now I know I'm only speaking about my own fear & guilt. I know, further, that you never copped to either emotion.

So, I remind you to be grateful & present during the time you do get to train during this transition. You are going to come out the other side of this download period STRONGER than ever!

Joel Willis - Crossfit Coach

So this week I opened up a conversation with a great coach from Reebok Crossfit 5th Ave. Joel had a lot of good input, some of which is below. This weekend I practice Snatches, Kipping for Muscle Ups & being COACHABLE.

The goal is qualifying for Crossfit Northeastern Regionals.
"Here's what I promised:

What I know about you: Good Oly skills. Has no lungs. Needs lungs. Needs CrossFit speed and endurance. How best can I get you there with the less is better schedule?? Humph!?!?!

August and September: Is done so no need saying what you should have done then.

October and November: Speed Strength --- DE (Dynamic Effort) Training. Think band pulls, chains, speed bench, sled work, sprinting, etc, etc! How can we incorporate your Oly Skills? That's easy!!

December: Focus on your weaknesses: Your body-weight movements: gymnastics...pistols, hspu, ring work, etc, etc! Following a program like Invictus or Outlaw is good. However, you need someone, other than yourself, to program for you. We tend to be very biased when we program for ourselves. Get a coach who you trust, who competes, who has good eyes, and knows his or her shit, and take it from there.

January and February: You build Noah's Art, so to speak. You build your engine. Your doing two to three WODS a day. Moderation is essential. Trust me, you'll do fine. You want to PEAK at Regionals--granted you make it. If you follow me, you will. I usually have my clients use the Open as a tester. Why the hell not?!?!

March and April: Your Regional bound. Lucky for us northeastern folk we get to go last. So what does that mean for Joshua?? It simply means that he becomes a stud at the workouts because he's had time to practice them a million times. Come Regional time you have gone from a 39 year-old athlete who has been "training" to a 39 year-old athlete who is "practicing" his craft, working transitions, etc. Follow?

I hope this helps. "
