Training 3/29/12 – A New Journey

Posted on April 4, 2013 | Leave a comment

Hey guys.  I spent the last year training specifically for Crossfit.  I took a hiatus from strongman and wanted to see what my potential was.  Unfortunately I ended up hurting my shoulder in the process and decided not to continue competing in the open this year.

My shoulder is healing well, I just thought it was stupid to continue pushing through workouts that were causing more damage. Continue reading →

The Number 1 Way to Improve Your Crossfit Performance

Posted on November 23, 2012 | 2 Comments

Alright, well you guys heard about my last competition.  Funny thing, after finishing the competition I was an emotional wreck the next two days.  I was crying for atleast an hour every day, exploding at people if they made the slightest criticism of me and sleeping 14+ hours per day.

Anyway, I dropped the depression straight in its face and got back on my hustle.

Posted on November 18, 2012 | 8 Comments

Crossfit OTG 2012 300x225 Dan Popes 3rd Annual Off the Grid Open Challenge 2012 Write UpIt was a bitter cold Fall morning on November 17th 2012.  I had signed up for the 2012 3rd annual off the grid open challenge at Off the Grid Crossfit in Williamstown NJ.

I wake up pumped for the day.  This is my first crossfit competition since the open earlier this year.    I’m anxious to start.  It’s a mix of excitement, feeling nauseous and feeling like I’m about to poop my pants the entire morning, the perfect storm of emotions and physical symptoms.  Continue reading →

Steady Mobbin – Dan’s Training week of 10/8/2012

Posted on October 13, 2012 | Leave a comment

water balloon 274x300 Steady Mobbin Dans Training week of 10/8/2012Steadily making improvements.  I’m using a bit more foam rolling lately before stretching.  I find the foam roller really helps to lengthen my muscles better then just stretching alone.

I’ve decided to keep the outlaw Oly-lifting and strength work but follow Tribe’s met-con programming.  Really missed training with everyone else and all of the great competition.  I’m adding in my own midline/accessory work and basing it off of my weaknesses and working on improving technique on the basic crossfit exercises.  Continue reading →

Well after this past saturday’s train wreck of a session (It was actually very challenging and fun) its time for a deload.  It’s week 4 of my training cycle and time to rest.  I’m actually feeling really strong and didn’t want to take any time off but I know better.  Best to let everything rest, heal and recover so I can improve next week.
