20LB CHALLENGE

20 LB CHALLENGE

 The CrossFit open has been over for some time now but training and improving as a athlete hasn't stopped.  Especially if you strive for greatness and your just a little crazy....think I fall under both these categories. So a 20 LB vest??? Why?? Well the challenge is to take your normal training regiment and add a 20 LB vest to every workout you do no matter what it is for 1 month time. The idea is that if you do everything with this extra weight, that when you take off that weight you feel lighter, quicker, and stronger. Kinda like how a boxer will train with heavier gloves than what he will actually fight in. Then in the fight he will have a feeling of lighter, faster hands. As anyone that CrossFits knows, its a mental battle from the beginning of a WOD all the way through. Any kind of mental edge you can gain during these grueling workouts, you take it.

The other reason im putting myself through this madness is "The Crucible at the Combine Competition" On May 26th http://www.cruciblebenefit.com/. Its a 2 WOD event benefitting the Wounded Warriors Fund. Heres the WODS-

Severin      

50 Strict Pullups

100 Push ups

5K Run

6 Thrusters 95/65

They also have a BEAST division where you do all of the above with a weighted vest. You know im going BEAST!!! What a great way to give back to those who have sacrificed so much. I'll keep all updated and anyone that wants to share some of the pain...sign on up at the link above : )
