Dan Long’s Story

By: 0

I am not sure that I am the “typical crossfitter,” as a matter of fact I am not sure what a typical crossfitter is. To put that statement into perspective, since I have been going to Crossfit South Bend I have worked out beside high school students and with those in there 60s. In order for my story to make much sense to anyone who doesn’t know me well, I believe I will have to give a brief explanation about my past. I don’t believe I have ever been an athlete. In school I played a variety of different sports and in my 20s I dabble in Karate with my wife and kids. Since that time, in the past 10 years I have been diagnosed with 2 bulged discs in my neck. I have had surgery on my left eye for a detached retina. I have had surgery on my left knee for torn meniscus. Most recently, February 13, 2014, I had a pretty nasty shoulder surgery that stemmed from being hit by a car when I was 18. Twenty-five years later I was at the point of having to stop doing anything or get it fixed. 5 months later I started with the bar on a linear strength program that Brandon and Carl provided me with. For the first 3 to 4 months I considered that a continuation of rehab. I started following the strength portion of the strength and conditioning class that Carl teaches. At this stage almost 11 months of training, my dead lift, power clean and back squat are stronger than they ever have been. My bench and press are lagging a little (I wonder why), but I believe I will be setting a new pr for both of them soon. There are other lifts that have had good progression but those are the most common to come to mind. I am very grateful for the support, coaching and lets not forget all the lifting spots from the staff and other members. I firmly believe, regardless of your fitness goal or goals, be it endurance, strength, mobility or even proper diet, the coaches here at Crossfit South Bend can give you the guidance you need. -Dan

TESTING WEEK STATS

By: 0

[vc_row][vc_column width="1/1"][text_output]Hey everyone! So we had a few questions about our testing week, what it was about and what not. So Landon was nice enough to run some stats for us. Because he is awesome. Each one of these movements and wods test a number of things, next to the letter of each thing we noted what were primarily testing. Or at least in this currently cycle what was important to us specifically, which changes as the year goes around and as we notice trends. FYI - this week was presented after a 9 week cycle - the 10th week is a testing week, immediately following that week is a deload week. Note: This programming is under the assumption that of course not everyone can make it in to an ideal schedule - if we notice trends in particular members we note their attendance as tracked. So go ahead and expand these accordions to check out the results. Thanks again Landon![/text_output][accordion][accordion_item title="Monday 6.8.15"]Monday 6.8.15 A.

**remember: no oly class on Saturday. Instead it's leggings day! 9am wod with the regular crossfit class. Wear some leggings and come get your sweat on, patriotically.** A.  Hang clean to parallel x 2 - we're going to work on controlling our bottom position. Fight to stop yourself at parallel. 1 set every 90sec x 9 rounds. Increase in weight as much/often as you feel necessary. B.  Tempo back squat - 5x2 @ 23X1 tempo.  C.  5 rounds: 25m unbroken OH walking lunges with a barbell. You pick your own weight but there is no resting during that 25m!
