Bear Crawls are Evil

Bench Press 5x5
Power Snatch 3x5

Blech!  I am really, officially one of those frustrated gym-goers that we all have known.  Up until recently, I would sympathize with this person or that person as they told me of their pains and injuries, as they bemoaned the work they were unable to do, or expressed frustration with the constant subbing of movements that they had to ask for.  But I never really understood them.  I would have a minor pain hiccup here or there-a bit of lower back trouble when I first started (squats fixed that), some knee pain when I first started (squats fixed that), some minor shoulder pain when I snatched (squats didn't fix that), lots of muscle soreness, plenty of bruises, and of course my famous box jump induced staph infection.  But I have had very little pain over the last 2 years of CrossFit. 

I am officially in a grumpy mood because of pain now.

I shouldn't have benched at all tonight, but my shoulder felt SOO good.  Everything else has been just fine for my shoulder over the last couple of weeks, so I wanted to bench.  2 reps at 103 and I knew I needed to stop.  Bleh.  My shoulder just hurts a lot right now, and I am not happy with myself.

30 yd bear crawl before each triplet

I would have loved this workout if I could have scaled out the bear crawls.  :)
