Managing Hand Tears after 16.2

By: 0

So you just finished 16.2 for the 2nd time, and your hands are ripped up to bits. Here are a few Breaking Muscle tips so you are good to go for the next week. Clean it The first thing to do when your hand rips is clean it out well. It is going to be painful, but wash it out with warm water and soap. Depending on the environment, you may also want to rinse it with Iodine. Don't be a little baby about it. Clean it soon after, don't drive home and wait until the morning. Trim Excess Skin If the skin is torn in a way it is going to catch and rip further, use sterilized scissors and trim the excess skin away. If the tear is small, more like a burst blister, than leave the skin to protect the healthy flesh underneath. I have some scissors in the office where we can trim it up a bit. Bandage and Keep Moist The key to healing quickly and to minimizing pain is to keep the wound site moist. Use a product with Vitamin E, if possible; otherwise anything from Vaseline to Bag Balm will do the trick. Keeping the rip moist will prevent it from drying and tearing further. If you have cracked open a dried wound, you know it is very painful and causes healing to take much longer. You'll develop a deeper cut thats going to be pretty hard to heal up. Bag It Overnight One trick many gymnasts use, is to wear gloves or plastic bags over my hands overnight with some lotion on your hands. It keeps your hands moisturized and also helps prevent you from spreading lotion all over your bedding. Just don't put the bags on too tight, you don't want black hands in the morning. Folk Remedies If you look around the Internet you will find a large variety of folk remedies for ripped hands. The sport of gymnastics has been dealing with this problem for many decades. Two of the most common suggestions are tea bags and Preparation H. It is possible the tannic acids in tea help the healing process, but using them is a bit messy. Preparation H is more useful. It can help with swelling and more importantly has a mild anesthetic quality that may provide temporary relief. Synthetic Skin You have ripped your hand, but you want to keep training. What can you do? Three different options are quick and easy. The first option is to use liquid New Skin to create a tough, synthetic layer over your rip. Be aware, New Skin sticks to healthy skin, too, and if it starts to peal off you do not want to pull on it. The second option is to use a synthetic skin patch. There are a number of different brands and they work with varying success. Lastly, you can always use the same leather grips you wore when you were trying to prevent your rips. Keep your rips moisturized and bandaged and wear the leather grips over the bandage. But, remember the best way to deal with rips is to prevent them. Take good, daily care of your hand and keep sanding down your calluses.

  Notes: Squats: Pull your ego back on the squats, keep the 1 1/4 squats clean and fast. Ideally these are full depth, then up to parallel, then back to full depth. If you have issues with full depth, perform them parallel, up to power position, parallel, up. Wod: Typical conga line format, you can't step forward to perform reps until the person ahead of you is finished. With the Bench Press, I'd like for there to be a spotter, so if you finished, or are last in line, spot your team mates, and use an intelligent weight for the bench. 75-85% is a challenging range of your max to look at for this, although you may want to stick on the lower end if you are more prone to fatigue.[/accordion_item][accordion_item title="Tuesday 3.8.16" parent_id="" id="" class="" style=""]Tuesday 3.8.16 A.

Notes: Snatch can be full or power, whatever you feel you need work on the most. You can also build on these OR start heavy and stay heavy, lets take the heaviest weight lifted for the score.

  Deadlifts: Weight on deadlift bar will determine # of reps. If weight isn’t an even multiple of the 9000#/7000#, athlete will round up. For example, if you choose to complete the 9000# with 185# (9000/185=48.6), you’ll complete 49 reps. Once workout begins, deadlift weight must remain the same. If you need to scale this workout, your weight selection can be 7000 male /5000 female, 100 double unders Reps can be partitioned as the athlete wishes, but you only get one bar.

THIS WEEKS ROGUE GIFT CARD GAME! (and a few notes)

By: 0

Hey all, just a quick heads up, the next wod is released tonight at about 8:00pm! After that, I will assess per the workout's equipment and space demands and ask for possible judges/volunteers along with releasing a tentative schedule. If you are interested, post that you are interested in helping along with your answer to this weeks Gift Card Game. Want to try to win something? for doing something super easy? Get in on our weekly guessing game! Prize: $20 Rogue Gift Card When does it start: The guessing is officially open as soon as this post goes up. So, now! When does it end: You can guess until 7:30pm TONIGHT. Who can guess: Any current or past members of CrossFit South Bend! Shout out to all of the CFSB Alumnus. How do you get in on the action: To get your guess in, all you have to do is post to the comments section of THIS POST. What you are going to post: You must enter both… 1. The movement(s) that you think will be released in tonight’s wod. 2. Time domain: This will be the tie breaker, you may guess the same as another person, but if you have the closest time domain, you win. You may also guess that the workout will be open ended. If two people accidentally guess the same movements and time domains, it will go to the person who posted it first. Winner goes to the person that gets the movements correct this week.   What if no one wins? We will have a random drawing on Friday Night for it!   So, the comments section should look like this. Brandon: Thrusters and Burpees – open ended. Savannah: Pull Ups and Box Jumps – 5 minutes Emily C: Pull Ups and box jumps – 7 minutes. Carl: Thrusters – 4 minutes Amy: Cat Stuff – Open ended Robby: Sitting – 35 minutes   You get the idea   How many Guesses?   You must post ONLY ONE GUESS PER EACH PERSON Ready, 3…2…1…Go!  

What’s in my fridge?

By: 0

What's in my fridge?-CFSB Wellness Wednesday I have a lot of people ask me what I buy on a weekly basis so I decided to do a video tour of my fridge to talk about what I usually get. In this video, I'll talk about the foods I typically eat on a weekly basis, where I buy them, and how to cook them. For anyone who thinks a Paleo diet is just ribeyes and bacon, you'll notice that the overwhelming majority of my fridge is actually plant foods, specifically vegetables. Many people think Paleo is just all meat and saturated fat, but nothing could be further from the truth. Paleo is a real whole food way of eating that emphasizes nutrient density and minimizing toxins, and plant foods are a huge part of that. [Note: I don't have any financial or business ties to any of the products I mentioned. These just happen to be products I like to buy on a weekly basis] Short on time?

  Notes: The Deadlift: We want you staying in contact while lowering the bar, don't drop from the top. Don't bounce either, they aren't bounce-lifts. The workout: Try not to eat it on the Box Jumps. It's easy to forget what you are doing in the middle of a box jump. Stick with a height you are comfortable with. This workout isn't meant to be grueling. If you are doing the open: Stay light and conservative on the deadlift - I don't care if you are going to PR on a 3rm, chill out so you don't smoke your CNS.[/accordion_item][accordion_item title="Tuesday 3.1.16" parent_id="" id="" class="" style=""]Tuesday 3.1.16 A. 15 minutes to establish Push Jerk Heavy 2 B.

  Notes: Push Jerk: Stick to the technique  "Lipson": Bar is pulled from the floor - so don't even ask. If you can squat 405, but you can only pull 95 from the floor...you are using 95. Try to scale so that you finish within the time cap. If you are in the CrossFit Open: you can go after the push jerk, stay conservative in your weights for the wod, 35-45% of your max[/accordion_item][accordion_item title="Wednesday 3.2.16" parent_id="" id="" class="" style=""]Wednesday 3.2.16 A. 15 minutes to work up to a heavy 10 on turkish get ups, alternating arm.  (5 right, 5 left) B.

For instance I may hit 25x4, 40x2, 55x2, 60x2, 70x10 ,<--you can use DB or KB. Wod: This is a full 8 rounds at each, resting a minute between, then moving onto the next.

  Notes: For the FRRL: Each step backwards is a rep. The Workout: Keep the reps clean, and don't tear your hands to bits on the TTB. Open Competitor?

Using up to 70% of today's heavy single is a decent place to look for the workout.
