Good run at CF Downpour

Well, it was a good run at CFDP. I worked out 2-4 times a week from November 2014 to October 2015. I hit a bunch of new maxes while at CFDP... probably because I weighed the heaviest ever around 140-145#. Highlights: C&J 130# 2/27/15 Front squat 160# 3/9/15 Jerk (from rack) 140# 3/16/15 Snatch 100# 4/17/15 (especially proud of this one!) Press 85# 4/20/15 Power clean 120# 6/12/15 Back squat 185# 7/6/15 Deadlift 275# 7/20/15 Sad I never got to test my OHS max. Anyways, I ended up getting sidelined by nagging elbow pain and a knee injury that is still recovering. The ortho didn't think I tore anything and since my treatment would have been the same either way, advised against the MRI. PT thinks the lack of movement in the joint is causing fluid to build up in my knee. This would result in discomfort, or even pain. Getting a stand up desk at work had helped since my knee doesn't stiffen up as badly anymore. Lesson: Getting strong without a focus on mobility only leads to injuries. CFDP closed its doors at the end of March. I haven't started up anywhere new yet so I'm back on the rower. Tabata row today: low of 78, high of 82 but 4 rounds at 80. I wanted to puke.
