Well - I survived!
I got my a$$ thoroughly kicked, but I survived. The whole experience was so awesome that I can't wrap my brain around what I've just been through. My quads and traps remind me at every move. After yesterday's thruster/squat-clean workout (which I scaled and didn't complete!) I sat in an airport, on a plane or in my car for 6 hours. I'm stiff.
I learned a ton of stuff. I am now on fire to give the Zone a try.
Things I was proud of myself for: good deadlift form, decent clean form - after some good coaching, kipping swing came easy (pullups were too hard on my elbow - more later), knees-to-elbows felt easy on the higher bar, GHD situps were not impossible, my intuition about the inner workings of the program were spot-on...
Things I am now ready to work on: upper-body work, shoulders are weak and inflexible, diet, form on any of the overhead work, flexibility for squats, running, intensity of my approach to the WODs...
My elbow - today there's hardly any pain. I am convinced that this will work itself out. I wake up with it being very stiff. When I do my nerve glides and shoulder dislocations, the pain lessens almost immediately.
