About Me

My photo
I am 20 years old at Springfield College. I started Crossfit in the winter of 2008 and have went on and off with that and P90x. But since the summer of 2009 until summer of 2011 I did Crossfit then switched to Strength and Conditioning. I Played soccer lacrosse basketball and ran track throughout my life. I played lacrosse at Endicott but I was injured and did not play the entire season. Another passion is strength and conditioning which has changed my life for the better. My midterm goal is to compete in a powerlifting competition, run an ultra and run the Boston Marathon, and my ultimate long term goal is to become a Strength and Conditioning coach, a lacrosse coach, and to open my own Strength and Conditioning gym as well as break the record for bench press at 165lbs bw. Along with training for my goals I enjoy pushing my body to its limits and seeing what the human body is capable of by doing activities that require a lot of physical and mental aspects.

w2 D7 cfsb

Rest Day

Body:lets tired but not sore
sleep:8hrs
nutrition:good
notes: finally a rest day lands on a day without practice so i was able to have a full rest day. Week 2 is over and already seeing improvements which im loving. Cant wait to see my 1 reps at the end of the cycle. Also when this cycle ends I will be taking 1 full recovery week with some yoga mixed in and lots of stretching icing and hopefully healing my back and glute fully. After that I will re-evaluate my goals and see if I want to get even stronger or go to a cfe type of bias.
