Milt's Log II

Its been a minute....

A lot has happened since my last post here. A lot! I had a career in oil and gas project management, so things have been rocky for the past year and a half. So now I am in the midst of a career change and I am working on a degree in economics. Only working off-and-on for the last 18 months has meant more time with my family, so some good has come of things.

Now, I am starting to get more focused on who I am. School is good, back at work, just went to Hawaii. Life is starting to turn around!

So its time to get back to the gym. I had started a blog to track progress, but I never felt as accountable to myself with that as I did here, hence the new log.

For the first time in years I have gotten used to not going to the gym, finally pushed myself back tonight!

Internship? Ventura or LA county

I have been doing Crossfit on my own for sometime now and was looking if any gym owners had an apprentice/intern program. It's always been a dream to be a trainer and coach and one day open a gym. Seeing if there were any out there with someone learns and shadows but yet works for you.. Front desk, cleaning, social media etc
If so, please pm me or email at Craig.bravman@gmail.com

Box Jumps?

It is interesting that we did not see any box jumps in the Open or Regionals this year. There are burpee box jump overs at Regionals (where you have to clear the box completely with your jump), but not the traditional jump where you would normally see athletes rebounding to increase cycle time. I wonder if this was intentional so big name athletes did not run the risk of an Achilles tear. Or maybe it was just an oversight. Thoughts?

Alternatives to TKR

I have been hearing that there are some new procedures that are alternatives to having a total knee replacement. Has anyone heard about any of these? I've looked on the internet, but haven't come up with much. One of the had something to do with minimally invasive placement of placental tissue in place of meniscus. Anything, anyone?

Improving MetCon

Hi guys, I'm a 26yo guy, 170cm by 78/79kg. I am relatively strong (110kg c&j, 90kg snatch, 165kg back squat, 195kg deadlift, 121kg bench press) but I'm really weak in metcon terms; I start really well but I burnout after 30 seconds and I need to rest really frequently. One reason could be that since I'm born I suffer thalassemia but I do not think it is a major issue, it can easily just be an excuse :) .

I always try to avoid to face this isse it but I've reached a point in which it is starting to **** me off.

I want to develop my skills and I thought about doing 2/3 times a week some sprints (rowing/running/assault bike) starting with 15s on and 30 off for 6 rounds increasing slowly until I reach something like 20 rounds 30s on and 30s off.

I did something similar in the past when I was doing thai boxe and it worked really well but I never applied it to crossfit.

Do you have any better suggestions? Is there maybe any online crossfit program with this goal? (something like crossfitweightlifting.com but for metcon)
