JUMPING ON THE BANDWAGON

Seems like everyone has a blog these days, who am I to go against the flow?

My goal is to keep family and friends updated on what I am doing. Since day by day I seem to get busier and busier and forget to tell people things like, oh yeah I moved or quit this job and started a couple businesses. Funny, I found time to do this though. I hope to update it every day. Anyway there may be some rants and raves on this page, I will try to keep it positive mostly and hopefully WFS. No promises, but I will try to warn you. Sorry Grandma and Grandpa there are going to be lots of videos and pictures on here you won't be able to view. Unless you get a different computer!!

As far as making this page "pretty" good luck. I am not so computer savoy. Be on the watch for random design changes or experiments.

OK today is day one of my workout cycle (3 on 1 off)
5 Rounds For Time:
9 Reps Hang Squat Clean (HSC) 115#
9 Gymnastics Kip Pullups with blue band

14:55


The prescribed work out was 3 rope climbs or a million (i can't remember but it was a lot) towel pull ups instead of the gymnastics pull ups. I need to work on chest to bar pull ups if I want to not scale at the regional qualifiers. I don't plan on placing really high there, but I would like to be top 50%. But only if I don't scale.

Today is also day two of my quest to EAT MORE. I am looking to be at more 2-2.3K calories instead of .9-1.5K. However I got a little carb crazy the past few days. Creamy honey and fruit are my crack.

Here is video of me deadlifting 240# x 3 rep. This is 5# away from my most recent 1 rep max. I have picked up 264# many moons ago, but have been battling bad form. I am finally on the road to better form and am making fast gains. Whew! The sooner I beat my old record the sooner I can get to a 300# deadlift!

Fran and a Rant

I'm still running around busy as usual and not really training. I have been having trouble in my front squats. The right side of my back feels like its about to blow when I hit 195# in sets of three. The first one goes alright but the next two are frightening. I haven't gone up in weight for fear I will really pull something. Plus its really hard! I am pretty sure I have done over 205# for three to five. But I also thought that was on vimeo but I guess that was only like 165# or 175# so maybe I really haven't done sets at 205. Hmmm. I set a max pullup record. Old record was like 11 or 12, got 16 the other day. I think I could have done more if I regripped a little better but I lost it and fell off. I am still horrible at pullups. And finally I attempted "Fran" today (21-15-9 reps of 65# thrusters and pullps for time) I was dreading this. I can't even remember the last time I did this I think it has been over 6 months but I know my time was 6:46. I was hop...

Here we go....

Today's marks the first day of a new diet experiment.  Well not entirely new, but kinda.  Lets do a little back tracking.  On my dieting/lifestyle changes in around October 2009 after attending CF Nutrition cert with Robb Wolf.  I decided to give Paleo a serious go.  Everyone had a blog talking about all these great changes upon going Paleo, weight loss, feeling great, performing well, the world becoming a new a brighter world. Well I quite frankly didn't really have any of that.  I didn't really lose any weight.  Performance did well, but I had never plateaued, so was it diet or just getting better at CF?  I will say I think it did help with my recovery and soreness, but other than that I didn't FEEL any different.  Other then when I cheated, then, then I paid a mighty price...but only sometimes.  My stomach became bipolar.  One day good eating 'good', another bad while eating 'good'.  And both of the opposites there too....
