I am bad at this "updating daily" thing.....

I may not post everyday like I thought I was going to. Sorry, but keep watching I am hoping for 1 or 2 times a week!

5 Rounds for time of:
5 Squat Cleans
7 Burpees
9 Pullups CTB


12:53

I ate about and hour and half before this workout, and I was starving throughout it. I felt low engergy like I hadn't eaten in a month! However all CTB pull ups although my guts hurt so bad I couldn't connect as many as I would have like. 3-5 at a time. But better than a few days ago. Going to start ramping down a little to rest up for this weekends CrossFit Regional Qualifiers in Denver. I want to finish all the WODs as Rx'd and in the time limit, I hope I can!

"GRACE"

95# Clean and Jerk
30 reps for time

3:50


Last time I did this I did it with 85# and it took me 3:26, think. I was hoping to be closer to the first time even though it was 10# heavier. I thought I was stronger, however form was better on this one.

"Daniel"

50 Pullups
400m Run
21Thrusters 65#
800m Run
21 Thrusters 65#
400m Run
50 Pullups


15:27
Scaled 1/2 pullups and 45# thrusters

I should have done the full 65# but I thought it was going to take me longer and my legs were still tired from the previous run and squat. However the running felt really good today. Pullups however did not. I think I did negatives on most of them, I keep fighting my swing. Its so stupid! I am making it more difficult!

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....
