Awesome results.

Thanks guys. I feel great and am a huge believer in crossfit. I've never seen results like this before. I don't dread going to the gym anymore. I hate when I miss a class no matter how hard it might be. I know I'll never be a superstar athlete but I feel good that I'm making myself better. And the people around me are awesome. I'm one of those people who've always had a gym membership but never went because they never enjoyed it. It's really weird how addictive crossfit is.

That's great, dude.

My back feels tweaked today, I'm definitely swinging wrong. I need to be careful and go light I think.

Fortunately, no KB's tonight.

Whitford · 10-22-2011, 01:17 AM

I left the box tonight feeling better than I have in years. I'm still high and I'm not even sure why.

Today we did:

800m run

Warmup of sprint drills (I think?) followed by some gymnastics where we did various somersaults onto a mat from varied heights. Then that was incorporated into a drill of a somersault from about 3 feet onto the mat, then jumping up onto a high bar and having to essentially monkey bar across our rows of pull up bars. It was challenging and crazy fun.

WOD:

16x
Wall balls & burpees
20 seconds work w/ 10 seconds of rest.

It's very hard to bulk serious muscle on CrossFit as programmed by mainsite or most boxes. It's far too catabolic. Strength-focused affiliates like Rob Orlando's Hybrid Athletics program specifically for that. Shorter Wods, heavier weights, less 'met-cons', regular lifting sessions.

BLACKLISTED · 10-22-2011, 06:56 PM

I may look into that then. I'm just a small dude, a bit of size wouldn't hurt. But I'm not trying to get bodybuilder big either...

Neek · 10-22-2011, 06:58 PM

Oh you'll get a bit of size, don't worry about that.

usfsfire42 · 10-22-2011, 07:04 PM

Ya, you just need to eat enough. That is my problem. I do crossfit all the time, but I don't eat enough. So, I am just ripped

this is true. I lift most days, and usually follow cffootball to keep my strength and size where I want it. I suggest people follow that, only as long as they do it with someone that is an experienced lifter if they arent one themselves.

Neek · 10-24-2011, 09:52 AM

CF Football is another great resource for strength-focused CrossFit workouts. John Wellbourn is a former NFL player that seems to really know his ****.

BlackBeastie · 10-24-2011, 01:52 PM

Did a nasty one today, don't know if there is a name for it other than mother****er, because that is what I kept muttering.

3 Rounds for Time….
10 SDHP (70#)
15 Burpees
20 Overhead Lunges (35#)
25 KB Swings (40#)
30 Sit-ups
400 meter run (track was closed, so I did 200 jump rope)

FalsifiedProphet · 10-24-2011, 02:12 PM

No more cossfit for me in the near future. My knee popped last Thursday night during a soccer game. Going for a MRI some time this week.

10 Snatches (115/65 for Open)
20 Front Squats (same bar)
30 Pull-ups (CTB)
40 Wall Ball (20/14 to 10' for all)
50 Push-ups
60 Sit-ups
70 Sumo Deadlift High Pulls (with 55/35 lbs Kettlebell; no KB dropping allowed)
80 feet Overhead Walking Lunges (45/25 lbs plate)
900 m Run to finish!

my massage therapist tells me I'm not supposed to work out the day I get a massage... but I really want to go tonight. What she doesn't know won't hurt her?

Looks like you're going to be an upper body/one-legged specialist for awhile. Hope it is nothing serious.

That reminds me....Did anyone else see the beastmodaldomains (http://beastmodaldomains.com/) post Friday about the SDHP? Interesting point of view...
