I also had the opportunity to shovel snow this AM when my office was cancelled due to weather. In the past I would always have back pain for a few days after shoveling. Now that my core is so much stronger from my CrossFit workouts I felt so good I actually went right into my workout after finishing this morning. Like Herb, I did back squats (80% of max - #237.5 x 5 reps x 5 sets) and completed without problem!
Crossfit helped me shovel snow today.....and I have a snowblower but chose NOT to use it....
ReplyDeleteI love snow days...
you could have come to my house! Being fit is fun...

Back squats - 135 x5x2, 225 x8 x2, 335 x3 x2, 365, 385, 405 becuase of the rubber plates, ran out of room on the bar. will bring some metal tomorrow.
