The two Crossfit rules of perseverance:

Rule #1. Take one more step.

Rule #2. When you think you can't take one more step, refer to Rule #1.

Unfit or Crossfit, It's up to you!

In a recent New York Times piece by Stephanie Cooperman entitled “Getting Fit, Even if It Kills You”, CrossFit is clearly portrayed as dangerous.

Is this depiction based on the author’s innumeracy, the effete politics of the Times, or is it a fair judgment?

Derek though managed a fantastic clean and push jerk with them..very impressive

Muscle up

At last I managed to do a muscle up on a bar!!

After trying for ever to get a muscle up, all it took was one of my friends to say " You need to do it like this" and he done one. Then I tried and got it too!!

All night at work I was doingthem and doing them until the blisters on my hands wouldnt let me do any more.

Snatch and OHS

Workout of the Day

Fifteen rounds of:

Power snatch followed immediately by five overhead squats.

Start light and add weight. Post loads to comments.

Started at 30kg for the snatch and worked up to 42.5kg
OHS started at 20kg and moved up to 35kg

One of the Smith Machines we have at work is broken and we are now just using it as a pull ups station. Its a bit small for me but it is now so much better with the mechanism of the smith machine out of the way. I tried to do a bar muscle up on it and managed to get one elbow over the bar so I am determined to do one really soon.

Extra rest day

I took an extra rest day todaybecause I was really tired. The Wod was supposed to be "Kelly", but I plan on hitting it on Friday.

I had my first session with two new P.T Guys last night and it went great. got both of them back in on Friday night.

Wednesday, October 12, 2005

Rest Day

Much needed rest day today.

I managed to "borrow" two 20kg plates from my boss last night. They are a bit smaller than regular size plates for some reason ( made by Techno -gym) but they are like bumper plates. They aren't real bumpers but they will do for training out in the garden.

Also got 2 P.T clients today. These two clients are the guys who said I could use them as guinea pigs, giving me practice in P.T. I am going to start them off on the session plan I got from Jeff ( Thanks big guy!!) and see how they both manage with the workout.

P.T went really well got both guys back on Friday for session 2!!

Fight Gone Bad

Workout of the Day

Fight Gone Bad

This is our famous “Fight Gone Bad” workout. It has been used extensively to prep fighters for the UFC. In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. We’ve used this in 3 and 5 round versions. Today is 3 rounds. The stations are:

Wall-ball – 20 pound ball, 10 ft target. (Reps)
Sumo deadlift high-pull 75 pounds (Reps)
Box Jump – 20” box (Reps)
Push-press 75 pounds (Reps)
Row – calories (Calories)

The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of “rotate”, the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.

Add your points and post them to comments.

Compare to 050412.

Subbed 2 x 10kg dumbell thrusters for wall ball

Score - 321

This is up by 15 points from my last time doin it at Brand X so I am really pleased with that.

Rest and Relaxation

I had planned on taking a little rest when I got back from San Diego. However, when I eventually got home I developed a wee bit of a fever and my entire body ached from head to toe...especially my back.

So I am doing nothing till Monday, that will be 6 days since I last trained. this is also giving me time to get my shopping in so that I can start my 2 weeks of really strict Zone as of Monday.

At the seminar we were given our individual block requirements and I had been using the right number for my size - 19 blocks per day. So from Monday, Im going to get really strict again to see how much I can improve my performance and how much I can lower my body fat percentage.
