Great article on GPP “General Physical Preparedness”. In CrossFit we are like a handyman or a jack of all trades. We will never be the best Olympic lifter, we will never win a marathon and probably never climb Mount Everest. We will be kinda good at everything, ready for whatever life throws are way and being ready for those curve balls. That is “GPP” because you never know.
I snatched on Monday and wasn’t feeling 30 MU’s so I did Clean’s which were horrible. I shouldn’t have even stepped foot into the box cause it was just a horrible day for me all around. I got my schedule all mixed up and should have taken today off. Uggghhhhh. Now I have to take the next 3 off. WTF!!!!!
Well Tom, look at the bright side. You aren’t me.
The last few days have been feeling like hell, and having tons of pain all over my shoulder area…..today a new symptom set (blisters over the entire area), combined with a trip to the doctor confirmed that I have shingles…….party on. Chicken Pox grown up style with lots of nerve pain.
dude….shingles??? don’t they have a shot for that????…sorry to hear and Tom, I feel your pain about a bad day at the box man….when it does come back around you’ll have a few PR’s and be ahead of where you were …..
Me too, a day off I think is inorder for me also. After CFT on Monday I was pretty toast. I do like the article that you posted great info.
Sorry Gunny but Coop beat you, I mean he has shingles. Gunny if you had let say legionnaires or ebola I would declare your day shittier.
did the 30 mu’s @ CFT. 4:10 PR!
LOL…..vinny, that was some funny shit…..i was definately in the poor me mode when I hit submit….ah but today is a new day…..sure the open oozing lesions turn the chicks off, but who cares……the fact is the day that it was coming on I PR’d every element in my CFT…..enough said….Gunny sorry you had a crap day…
Coop I bow to your Shingles. Vinny is right, had I had some other horrible communicale disease then I’d rate a pitty party, but you my friend have me beat hands down.
On a serious note I do hope you get well soon.
Oh yes, got my Rogue P3 pull up bar installed yesterday. Pics to follow shortly. I do love it so.
Coop – That’s some serious recooperation time (no pun inteded, really). You’ll really need to take it easy. I hear shingles take the life out of you. So sorry to hear. 🙁
Tom,
Glad to hear you got the bar up….looking forward to seeing the pics
Jo….thanks for the kindness……be back on my feet in no time…..
Vinny…..thanks for the attitude adjustment….
you guys are the best…
Do they go all over your body? Like chicken pox?
nope, the chicken pox virus lays dormant in the body and resides during this dormant state in the posterior nerve roots along the spine. This is what drives the pain factor in that when the virus reactivates it and the corresponding inflammation effectively travels along one or more of the these nerves resulting in pressure on the nerve. This is what causes the burning skin feeling. If you have seen one of the nerve diagrams in your doctors office you know how the nerves originate at the spine and travel laterally from back to front and terminate at the midline and have a mirror opposite on the other half of the body…..this results in a one sided band of blisters about 6 inches wide (thats approximately how much area each nerve covers) that starts in the back and mirgrates around to the front midline. my band is right at shoulder height, so upper back, chest, shoulder, upper arm, etc…are smoked..i know that my answer is ten times more than what you wanted, but you know me, there is no short answer…..
Coop i’m so sorry about your shingle’s. I guess our bad days at the Box just don’t measure up. I hope your feeling better real soon.
thanks jen… much appreciated.
