Crossfitter at my gym just popped his achilles. That is some ugly shit. 
How did he do that?.
low box jumps, done crossfit style where you're bouncing up and down onto the box for very high reps. saw him fall and he yelled a bit and that was it. there was like .5-.75 inches of separation between the tendon and the bone, you could see it. yeesh. wtf is happening at my gym. dude tore his pec last week bench pressing and he's not even a crossfitter i.e. injury-seeker, he's actually a pretty experienced power lifter.
anyway,
BW = 171.7
SORENESS = glutes and hams
ACHES/INJURIES = none
FATIGUE = mild
DIET = good
Snatch practice, went really well. Mike asked if I'd been practicing and when I said no, he said well, something must have just clicked. I'm still the noobiest of noobs, obviously, but I finally felt like I had something I could build on with it. Worked up to hang snatches with OH squats at 84 lbs/38.2 kg.
Primary thing to work on: Shoulder mobility/stability. I can't do a BTN sots press with anything heavier than PVC. I can do a BTN press standing up, no problem, but not when I'm in the bottom of the squat. And I'm a bit wobbly in the OHS.
