Its December!

So much has been going on! Its been so busy its hard to even workout!

Some highlights over the last three months are:

Lost ring dip all together, due to some shoulder issues. :(

Attended a CrossFit Kids Cert in Ramona California in August.

Completed "Grace" as Rx'd (30 clean and jerks for time using 135#) in 6min 27 sec. I want sub six next time!

Quit working for Farmers Ins, should have done that long ago!

Attended CrossFit Nutrition Cert with Robb Wolf here in town. Learned a lot!

Started a personal Paleo diet challenge due to Nutrition Cert.

Attended my first Olympic lifting meet in October (unsanctioned)! Setting a PR in the Snatch at 60kgs or 132# (I totally power snatched it too! oops). Previously was 115#, I hadn't gone up in weight one because I don't practice very much and two I know I can power snatch it, it is catching it in the full squat I haven't figured out yet. I also set a PR in the Clean and Jerk with 80kg or 176#. Previous C&J was 165# I was quite happy with that!

Set a PR in "Jackie" (For time 1000m Row 50 Thrusters at 35# and 30 pullups).

Completed the Bear Complex at CrossFit LA starting as 75#, 85#, 95#, 105# and 115#! Whew that was hard!

Developed bar rash on the back of my neck from bear complex.

Got 2 consecutive ring dips back!

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....
