Busy day today, which means its an off day for my regular job (patrol officer) and a full day of cleaning our facility, meeting with potential new clients and training.

In addition to the programming for CrossFit Redline. I have 5 people that I am writing programs for currently and each of them are very different. The newest one has a specific date that he needs to be ready for and a specific set of skills to complete.

One is a high end athlete on the verge of elite who has a very complete game that needs some specific work to get him there.

The second is a very fit 52 year veterinarian who has been hampered by some over use injuries and adrenal fatigue sustained at another CrossFit affiliate.

The third is very analytical , loves to research and is very in tune with his body. He has been to a very fit level in the past and we are getting him there again...but this time really strong.

The last is a very good all around athlete with some glaring weaknesses that will not allow him to progress to the next level of fitness and may have been responsible for an injury we are currently working around.

Writing programs for each of these athletes has been challenging and uniquely rewarding. Seeing their progress and "aha" moments at our sessions or detailed in their blogs feels great and to be able to help such a diverse group all move forward toward their fitness goals gives me a great sense of accomplishment.


Training:
A: Power Snatch Tech Work for 7 minutes.
B: Hang Power Clean Tech Work for 7 minutes.
C: 2 HSPU every 20 sec. for as long as possible.
D: GH Raises  X 15  rest 1 minute  X 5.

Results:
A: Worked singles through 115#. Felt good although a little tight in the lower back.
B: Same as A, also did some from the floor which all felt light and fast.
C: Completed 4 minutes
D: Complete.

Poor food planning last night put me in a position to take in more liquid protein meals today than I am used to.

I have been adding in 2-3 extra scoops of BCAA+G  twice a day in addition to my pre and post work intake.  I often due to work and schedule, end up going past meal times by an hour sometimes two so this hopefully will act as an anti-catabolic.
