That old familiar grind...
How long do you have to be away from CrossFit to really miss it? Do you notice a drop in your fitness after a week, two? Or does the workout always seem to be tougher than you thought it would be?
Is a Calorie a Calorie – Lyle McDonald
So I took my mom and sister through their first CF workout: they learned to squat, deadlift and then did a mini Cindy. So now it’s official, Crossfit Car Hole is on the map. Although I shouldn’t call it that since I don’t pay any affiliate fees. How about Kyle’s Car Hole?
Fair play Kyle ! I Wouldn’t have a hope in getting any of my family down
Hmm.. apart from Christmas, I’ve only missed 1 full week of CF cos of the snow. Did find it hard the following week. The Metcons being the toughest. Two weeks off – I think would make it very difficult coming back. Longer and you could be starting from scratch
Religiously going every week is the only way.
Hopefully down tonight. Fighting a mad cold and it’s taking all energy out of me.
Having missed everything from a few days to over a month I can say that the best advice is don’t! The problem is that the longer I’m away the more reluctant I am to go back, or I’ll start back on an “easy” day. Of course they don’t exist, wods suck whether you’ve been away for a month or a day. Performance wise, I’ve noticed a sharp drop after about 10 days off.

a couple of days for me, although with rugby at least i get something so im never fully away for more than a week. What do y’all do when you’re on holidays?
Just to reply to your question from yesterday Rory:
i have the same problem with cleans and frontsquats. To get around this for the frontsquat i cross my arms horizontally at shoulder level. It’s not so much of an issue for cleans because i rarely have to hold the bar up for very long
There’s a stretch for developing the rack position here:

I forgot how I developed it. Think I just did a bunch of cleans until my wrists were flexible enough.
So contiuing on from yesterday’s posts:
Eoin – Assuming you’ve got the portion sizes right (weighing and measuring is pretty important here), the likelihood is you’re not actually hungry, your body is just jonesing for the insulin kick it’s used to. It’ll probably take a couple more days for it to figure out that the sugar isn’t coming, and that you’re going to have to start burning fat as your primary fuel source.

Foam rolling is useful too.

Anvil, the story of anvil is an absolute must see, especially for anyone who follows a passion and gets no fiscal reward.
