Workout of the day:
Rileys coaching today. Expect something different.
Make sure you let Riley know of your injuries, how new you are to Crossfit, etc.
Scale it back appropriately.
Safety #1

Ok. Gordon requested some advice on burpees. When you go down into the pushup portion of the burpee, a lot of times your elbows flare to the outsides. This works the shoulders pretty good, and if you don't have good flexibility and do a lot of burpees your shoulders are going to be on fire.
Instead of flaring shoulders to the outside, keep your arms and elbows in at your sides. A lot like a tricep pushup. This should help reduce stress on your shoulder.
Also. If your having shoulder issues ice, ice, ice. Try to get some ice on it right after the WOD. I have some in my freezer ready to go.

And I hate to be a nag. But its so tempting right after a really hard WOD to fall on your back and lie there for 20 minutes. Try to get up and move around. Get that acid out of your body so you can recover quickly and don't have kinks the next day. Stretch. This is the best time to increase flexibility. Eventually we'll probably have group cooldown and stretching, but for now YOU are going to have to be disciplined about it.

Also, I may not be back until late sunday so don't expect Mondays blog to be posted on sunday night. Just know the workout involves rowing, thrusters, and pullups.
