  2. Hey Ben-
    About a month ago I came to CFNE with Morgan for the 6:30 class. I go to boston college and usually I go to Crossfit Wachusett in fitchburg in the am to workout before class.. Friday morning I have a class at 8am and I was wondering if I could possibily take you up on jumping in on one of the early classes? Let me know if this would be a possibility.. Thank you, Christie

    1. I had the same explosive knee syndrome feeling today. On my right knee just below my knee cap. Any suggestions?

    2. My knees have been sore too. Ice, Advil, Rogue Voodoo Band work, and rest worked for me.

    3. I started wearing Rehband knee support from jackalsgym.com. They are awesome. But my knees are still sore.

    4. If its below your knee cap its probably a minor sign of patellar tendonitis...THUS, stretch your quads before and after workouts.
      When you Oly lift and squat daily, your quads will get REAL tight pulling on the patellar tendon (below knee cap) causing some inflammation.
      Don't take NSAID's, just stretch your quads, and maybe go a touch easy on the squats for the next few days, like 80-85% of max to give your tendons a break.

      Don't worry, this is very common in the Oly lifting world. Gotta stretch!! hope it helps

    5. Awesome advice. I'll keep you guys updated. The quad soreness sounds about right. Much appreciated.

    6. Yeah man def sounds like patellar tendinitis. Also, get a lacrosse ball lay on your stomach and put the ball right above your knee then pull your knee to your butt back and forth. And roll out your calves. Both of those exercises will feed slack to your knee and relieve some pressure. Def no meds and get some voodoo floss bands!!

  13. 1. we learn the most from some of our worst training days guys. remember that... I'm fighting the urge to be negative myself... last time I dis Amanda.... it took me 9:10... today I did it 8:22... almost a whole min better... the thing is... I had really wanted ^sub 6... because my mups had been going so well...I don't really know what happened ... other than fatigue... but I didn't have it today... I fought the urge to do another workout and chose to do my backsquats & move on ... tomorrow is a new day!

  20. 1-225. Failed first couple times. Stretched my shoulders out and then tried again.
    2-7:49rx. 30 sec pr. Muscle ups felt weak, but squat snatches felt good.
    3-did not complete no time left.

    ReplyDelete
  21. 1. 155--will move this up a little next time.
    2. 7:23 @ 115. Last time I tried was a miserable failure. I still need technical improvements on the snatch, but I only dropped one.
    3. 305&325. ..I went up instead of across.
