Well, I am not doing the CF Open in 2014. Straight up was not ready for it this year. Not really bummed, had a great year Professionally. I'm rolling in with the tide and it feels good. Finally finished out my home gym with the purchase of a C2 rower. Man I love rowing....I had forgotten how quickly it can kick your ass. The only thing I really need now is an AIRDYNE and probably some stones, who am I kidding, my home gym will need a ton of more stuff (GHD, more mats, a dry erase board, a wall timer...........). All in due time...Oh yes and have to keep room for my motorcycle project in there too.
I digress.....
I will be working on technique from the onset. Now that I've been doing this for over 5 years and I have taken time off, my mind has 'reset' and therefore I will be resetting my body. That means full hip extensions on all the movements, including light weights. I will be working on being efficient, that means no sloppy releasing the bar from the rack position (or any upright position) to the ground. The bar will be placed methodically on the ground each and every time (this is also good for my equipment). That is unless I do not have the physical strength to hang on to it. I always felt like I was being sloppy when I did that before (while training). There are times when you have to do it, like when you're gaming a wod in a comp. (to save strength), that's different. Same goes for kettlebells, no dropping allowed. While I'm at it might as well include wallballs.
Man I feel refreshed. My injuries have all healed up, my mind is clear. I am ready.
I will be posting workouts as I start working out again.
