		<description><![CDATA[Another week, another bunch of training. After last week&#8217;s CrossFit Sectionals NorCal Training Log 2010 #1, this one was a bit better.  Mainly because I got over my cold.  However, some stuff was really tough.
Here&#8217;s what I did:
Monday 2010-01-11
WOD: 30 muscle-ups for time.  I could only manage to do eight &#8211; which [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In my last post on my CrossFit Sectionals NorCal Training Log I talked about why I was doing the sectionals, my goals, etc.  That was a little over one week ago, and since then I&#8217;ve been working out pretty hard.  

Here&#8217;s what I&#8217;ve done:

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve signed up as an athlete in the CrossFit Games 2010 Sectionals NorCal.  I&#8217;d consider myself an intermediate level CrossFitter at this point &#8211; able to complete all the WODs in a reasonable time &#8211; but certainly nothing compared to the guys at the top.

		<description><![CDATA[One of my weaknesses in CrossFit has been in the strength department.  Of course, the only way to improve is to practice.  I&#8217;m pretty happy now with the basic Power lifts &#8211; having gone from a beginner&#8217;s deadlift of about 140lbs in December 2008 to lifting 370lbs (at 165lbs body weight) in June [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve always been under the impression that there was an important distinction between the &#8220;natural flavours&#8221; and &#8220;artificial flavours&#8221; listed on food ingredients.  After having read this food science article (adapted from Fast Food Nation) Why McDonald&#8217;s Fries Taste So Good, I realise the difference is essentially meaningless:

I saw a lot of this lift at the CrossFit NorCal Qualifier over the weekend.  One of the workouts was:
For time:
Row 500m
30 Burpees
10 Shoulder-to-Overhead (Men: 165#, Women: 95#)
It&#8217;s up to you to decide on the technique to employ for the shoulder-to-overhead movement (shoulder press, push press, push jerk, etc.). Efficient technique will be rewarded.
