So, I just finished week one of a 16-week strength program. It's on Monday, Wednesdays and Fridays.On Wednesday, our coach recommended that we don't do other workouts (drop into any of the WODs, etc) during this program... that we stick to the 3 days a week because we need to see how our bodies will recover. That seemed weird to me at first, as I'm used to working out about 5 days/week. But, by Wednesday night, it all started to make sense as I saw how my body started to feel.

Day 4 of trial week at new gym

Things I learned during today's strength class:

I suck at ring work. I can't even lock out for a high hold.

I need to do more weird TRX stuff to build my back and shoulders.

My form did not waver during the 1500 m row (for conditioning) even through it came after a 55 min strength workout.

"Have you rowed before?" - yes, let me show you that I am well acquainted with proper technique, especially in the catch and drive.
