Rhabdo's Revenge

Another rest day

Jason Kaplan - Thursday, November 19, 2009

To the left I'm bending a freaking nail with my hands, I'll get into that in a few seconds......

It is only Thursday and man, I feel like deuce nahmane?  Not sad or depressed, just like I got my ass kicked.  The WODs I've done this week have been awesome, and the other day I practiced some tire flipping for Hybrid Athletics Winter Challenge as my strength WOD.  As of now the tire I'll be using in the competition is 500 lbs, and all we have are two 250lber tires.  I could just strap them together somehow, but that seems like too much work.  When I was done with my tire practice which was 3 sets of 10 flips, I was basicaly covered in tire crap.

Today I'm going to try really hard not to WOD.  Rest days are important, from experience they prevent me from yelling at my mom and beating up people.  Instead I'm going to focus on my first passion before crossfit which was grip and wrist strength. HA! I know what some of you are thinking, especially that guy over there (inside joke).  But let me tell you all something, I was very close to developing world class nail bending strength and thats no joke.  Check out Ironmind.com, I was so close to getting onto the Red Nail roster.  Bending this nail takes somewhere between 500-600 lbs of strength!!


100s of nails I've bent with my bare hands....roar.
