Day 35

Day 35 of the challenge.

Sarah made a comment about the site not being updated. My health has been on a sharp decline, and this is the reason for my lack of updates. I have an AB resistant infection embedded in my sinuses and ears, causing all kinds of problems such as extreme pressure and pain, ruptured eardrums, coordination difficulties, and hearing loss. I have not done my push ups for the last 2 weeks, but If I am well before the end of the challenge....I have a lot of catching up to do!

I go to an ENT specialist on Monday, and hopefully we can find the cause of all of this.

I am proud of everyone for sticking through thus far, and Sarah.... YOU GO GIRL! You are an inspiration to us all.

Holiday Crime Prevention Tips: Personal Vigilance



By Chris Drewry
http://www.crossfitalpha.com

Preventing Cime: ChristmasThe holidays are upon us. A time for reflection, thanksgiving, family, and merriment. This season of the year empowers some of us with a sense of giving and charity, but for others it can embolden them to commit acts of violence and wickedness. Unfortunately, crime doesn't take a holiday. In fact, it often spikes during the holidays.

One of the more common crimes is the personal attack. Be it in the form of a robbery or assault, this is one of the most pervasive encroachments of our personal security that can occur, and can often scar victims emotionally and mentally. Especially when it occurs this time of year.

The question that begs to be answered it this: How can we reduce our chances of becoming a victim to a personal attack if we are alone?

An argument can be made that you should never be out and about alone, but lets be real folks... you have to do things alone, especially this time of year.

In this article we will dive into the criminal psyche and pick apart the hows and whys of their targeting process and how to reduce our chances of being chosen for an attack. Note that I said reduce, not completely prevent.

A strategic target is often called a mark. If a person has intent to commit a crime, there will be strategy involved in the act. Selecting a target is part of the process. cartier watches

James,

From my experiences of developing programs for Marines to help enhance their PFT score (one of my more pleasant billets in the Corps).

When we focused on hip flexor stamina alone,…

Posted by Chris  on  11/24   at  10:11 PM


Yes you're right. Really? I've been doing this for ten years now and I didn't know that. I was thinking that maybe if I developed my flexors some more then I might be alittle better off.

Posted by James  on  11/24   at  09:58 PM


James,

I am assuming Navy PRT and you are asking about curl up development.

You would be surprised how much a different well targeted and developed abs would make. Ironically, hip flexors…

Haven't posted a comment in a while but I'm still going strong on my pushups. Sometimes it's hard, but I've managed to get them in everyday so far.
