Recent training

I have jumped back in and done our gym's training at CrossFit Binghamton. For me it was important to be working out with others. Working out with others pushes me more, and overall is a more enjoyable part of training for me. And training should be fun. I won't be making appearances in top level competitions so enjoyment in training  is the top priority.

We followed the Invictus Competition Blog for 5 weeks at the gym at about 80% of the volume. This still proved to be way too much for me/us to handle. Little nagging injuries were building up and lifts at the prescribed percentages were not being made. I have no doubt it is a great program for those that can handle it, but that is definitely too much for the 9-5 regular job CrossFitter.
