#MondayMotivation - finally hit a 315# Clean & (Jerk) Walking Overhead-Iso Hold this weekend. I strive for virtuosity in my training but have come to accept the realities of putting in the work day in and day out which rarely looks the way I want it to in my mind's eye. And that's ok. Two years ago this was one of my impossible numbers that I never thought I'd be capable of hitting. Now it's just a heavy single for the day... /// #DayAfterDayEveryday right @ronnielopez21 ?? #TrainBIG #Tootall (at CrossFit 626)

"Garlic is good for so many things, but primary uses for me is combating any yeast growth or unfavorable bacteria from eating lots of carbs to support my training. It also promotes healthy gut flora growth and improves the immune system. When I remember I'll do this first thing in the morning before I eat. Do it and tag me in a video!" -- @nathanholiday ///@erwinjay @_5umg11_ #garlicbeard

Pull + Snatch 1.1 | | | Finally getting to do some #weightlifting again! Worked light %'s off the blocks today focusing on keeping my chest out over the bar + speed under it @heaveyduty @crossfit_626 #TooTall #TrainBIG (at CrossFit 626)

PUT IN WORK | | | Did intervals of 30 dubs and 15 snatches to practice pacing longer workouts in the @CrossFit open without blowing up early on. Having a minute rest between the four sets I did forced me to go as hard as possible knowing I've got a break without pushing so hard that I redline mid-workout @heaveyduty #TooTall #TrainBIG (at Girls Scouts of The U.S.A)

6x 20 sec. @assaultairbike intervals for max wattage every 2 minutes. I would say these sucked, but it's a becoming a weekly habit at this point. This was followed by another 45 minutes of interval misery, some of which truly challenged my mental state and caused me to scream obscenities at my coach @heaveyduty --- I use days like this to keep in mind how much I love training my weaknesses. I by no means have the "right" size, background, or level of conditioning to be an elite exerciser, but I always keep in mind a post that @nathanholiday put up on Facebook some time ago about embracing your weaknesses and channeling them in to a place of POSITIVITY and GROWTH. So when people ask me how I feel about sprint intervals, thrusters, burpees, pull-ups, handstands and all the other things I "suck" at, all I have to say is that I FUCKING LOVE THEM ALL #TooTall #TrainBIG #HeaveyDuty @crossfit_626 (at CrossFit 626)

Was feeling surprisingly good after some snatch work this evening so I decided to test my 1-rep max since it's been almost a year since my last #pr... Hit 205# to see how the bar felt, then went straight for 225#, 235# (miss), and 237# for 22 lb. #prlift. This marks a huge milestone for me, The first time I walked in to @crossfit_626 almost 4 years ago I couldn't even overhead squat an empty barbell. Back then, a 225 lb. Snatch was something I would watch videos of and think to myself "that's an impossible number"... There's certainly something to be said for sticking to the program @heaveyduty @opexfitness #TooTall #TrainBIG (at CrossFit 626)

Lunch break intervals on intervals @dogtowncrossfit today... It's already almost that time of year again --> Pre- #OpenSeason @heaveyduty #TooTall #MAVAstrong (at DogTown CrossFit)
