DC's Spring Clean Challenge Goals

DC's Challenge Goals

1. Stronger - (particularly overhead, which is a big weakness of mine). Want to put the work in to have foundation strength/flexibility/skill to achieve the following moves in the new year (in no particular order):

• Be able to do a hand stand "free" and unassisted from the wall!

• Get better at Double Under's

• Get technically better at Oly Lifting moves, which I'm struggling to learn

• HSPU

• Butterfly pull up (after correcting my deformed kip!)

• Muscle Up

I realize many of these are the "CF porn star" moves and I must learn to crawl before I can walk, so the goal throughout the challenge is to lay the building blocks to get there!

2. Bigger - increase muscle mass!

3. Flexibility - has been a problem for me but I have seen significant improvements since joining CF, back in March. I used to struggle to go deep enough even on an air squat!

4. Dial in the nutrition - I have definitely relaxed since the I AM CrossFit challenge increasing the intake of starchy carbs, sugar (from excess Dark Ghana) and caffeine. I have noticed a excess fat forming around my mid section, so this should hopefully be cut off if I'm eating like Grok!

To achieve these goals I will:

1. Attend CF 2 times per week & LunchFit more frequently. Also do 2 + solo strength based workouts p/w

2. Cut back on endurance workouts (running, biking) and eat more/better

3. Stretch everyday and use my foam roller more often

4. Eat cleanly, cut back to only one coffee per day and somehow avoid alcohol at the numerous Christmas parties/events popping up in the calendar!
