Beginning 2024 With PR’s!

by crossfitmomm, posted in Training for CrossFit Games

Hey all!

I’m been remiss in posting, mainly because I’ve been in a low in CrossFit. However, I’m recently enjoying CrossFit once again and looking forward to the CrossFit Open.

That being said, I’ve started 2024 with 3 personal records:

  1. Deadlift: 240 lbs
  2. Strict Press: 90 lbs
  3. Front squat: 170 lbs

As you all know, if you’ve been doing CrossFit for a while, PRs are few and far between. The deadlift was super important to me cause I haven’t lifted this much in over 7 years. It’s been a road overcoming injuries, but I finally feel good!

Bring it, 2024!

I’m in a Severe Funk

by crossfitmomm, posted in Training for CrossFit Games

I can’t believe I haven’t posted in almost 3 months.

That just shows you the state of my mind.

I’m in a severe CrossFit funk. I have no desire to work hard. It seems like I’ve been working for almost one year at my goal to make it to the CrossFit Games, and I’m nowhere closer than last year.

I just let my new CrossFit private coach go. Mainly because I have no motivation to do their programming.

All I can manage right now is HWPO.

This goes for my life, too. I lost 2 animals (one of my cats and my dog) in less than a month. I want to move. And, it takes everything I have to keep going.

I have a CrossFit competition coming up in Missouri at the end of July. I’ll see how I do/how I feel after that.

A part of me just wants to throw in the towel.

But, right now, it’s day-by-day when it comes to CrossFit training.

You’ll Only Progress With Customized CrossFit Programming

by crossfitmomm, posted in Training for CrossFit Games

Let’s be honest, if you want to achieve the highest levels of any sport, hobby, or task you set your eyes on, you have to do what works for you and what attacks your weaknesses.

With regards to CrossFit, if you just show up and do the programming at your CrossFit gym, you’ll never reach the highest levels. Sure, you’ll get stronger, and you’ll improve, but you will eventually reach a plateau that you may not be able to overcome.

For far too long, I was complacent, and although I did my own CrossFit programming, I really had no idea what to do to get better. Sadly, this is the majority of people unless you invest the time to figure it out yourself.

If you want to progress in anything in life, you’ll need customized training for you, especially for CrossFit.

What You Can Learn from Videotaping Your CrossFit Moves

by crossfitmomm, posted in Training for CrossFit Games

Most of us would agree that one of the best inventions ever has been the camera and video. Besides taking selfies of yourself in cool places, you can use your camera to record your CrossFit moves in order to learn from them, correct your moves, and ultimately get better.

I’ve been videotaping myself a lot lately as I journey to the CrossFit Games for my coaches to view in order to see my flaws so I can fix them. Sure, it takes a bit more work than normal, but the learning curve is unlimited.

Koda CrossFit Iron View Competitor Camp

by crossfitmomm, posted in Training for CrossFit Games

Last weekend, I attended a competitor camp hosted by Koda CrossFit Iron View in Lafayette, Colorado.

It exceeded my expectations. We did a lot of testing to discover our strengths and our weaknesses, got a lot of great information on competing, nutrition, sleep, and so much more.

And, Justin Bergh, the General Manager of The CrossFit Games, stopped by as a guest speaker. It was really, really cool.

Reasons I Want to Train for the CrossFit Games

by crossfitmomm, posted in Training for CrossFit Games

I’ve been thinking about my whys for training for the CrossFit Games:

REASONS I WANT TO TRAIN FOR THE CROSSFIT GAMES

  • I have a dream. I have to do something about it.
  • This can help me with my goal to be a professional vlogger.
  • I could make a difference in others’ lives.
  • I crave excitement
  • I crave something different
  • I crave having a goal in life
  • I want to escape my computer
  • I want to have a better self-body image
  • I want to do something others don’t
  • It’s my chance to do something “big”
  • It gets me through my monotonous days

Ultimately, it gives me a why. I need a why in my life or I can sink into depression. Whether I make it or not is important, but not the end all. It’s the training and the striving that I need.

Initial Thoughts About Training for the CrossFit Games

by crossfitmomm, posted in CrossFit, Training for CrossFit Games

Besides the fact I’m scared out of my mind, there’s a lot of thoughts I’ve had about training for the CrossFit Games:

THOUGHTS ON TRAINING FOR THE CROSSFIT GAMES

  • It will be boring as hell
  • It will all be mental
  • It will be about believing in myself
  • It will be about having support
  • I will need more rest
  • I will need to change my training schedule
  • I’ll have to bulk
  • I’ll have to give up CrossFit WODs and competitions
  • None of this will be easy
  • None of this will be fun
  • In fact, most of it will be a living hell

So, the question becomes: Is it worth it?
