Fridays (Guam time) are going to be boring but at least Dave Castro is not jerking us around with mystery workouts. We are back to our regular programming but I have a lot of takeaways from this years open.

Movements


Surprisingly, we didn't do two movements that were in the Open since 2011. Snatch and wall balls were not featured in a workout this year. They will more than likely be in next years Open.

My Placement


My goal was to be on the first page (for Guam) but that didn't happen. I placed 62nd, my lowest placement in the open. Either I'm getting worse or everyone else is getting more fit.

My Takeaway

I placed 62nd because I didn't do the work. I can't blame anyone or anything except myself. It sucks but I do have a plan. My conditioning needs a lot of work. This past year, I have been doing a lot of Olympic lifting and not much cardio. I need to find a balance between these two and I need to work in more gymnastics work as well. I want that muscle up! I have a full year to work on these things and hopefully I can get back to the front page of the leader board. I hope you hit some goals in this years Open and if you didn't, we have a lot of time to work on it.

Lift Heavy and Level Up!
