I’ll have a beer hold the Alcohol, Yeast, Malts, and Barely

Last night after completing my WOD,  I headed over to a local bar to play trivia with my wife and some friends.  This is dangerous territory for me for two reasons.  1.  Beer  and 2. Delicious wings.   Aye!

Yessssssssssss
So when I arrived I did something that was kinda of uncomfortable…when the bartender asked what I wanted I said “I’ll just take a water”.  I used to feel embarrassed doing this…I’m at a bar for Christ sake, I should be drinking an ale, a lager, or if I’m feeling particularly daring..a shot.  But I know something now, I learned it by comparing  my first 3 months of crossfit with the month of October….if I drink..I suck.  

I understand one won’t kill me, but I’d rather use the 10 days I have to clean my body of toxins, not put small amounts of them back in.  After festivus, I have a few events that will involve more drinking (one being a brew fest..can’t wait for that) and until then I can go drink free and still have a decent time at the bar with friends.

WOD

Crossfit Total!

Find 1 RM of Back Squat, shoulder press, dead lift

Back Squat: 255 (old 1rm 215)
Shoulder Press: 105 (old 1rm 95)
Dead Lift: 345 (old 1rm 285)

I kind of did well in all of them, although I’m a little disappointed in my shoulder press.  I was shocked at the back squat, I was hoping to get 240 and did much better than that.
