I think the higher intensity level that I have reached, while not near being elite, is taking it's toll on my body. I really thought that I tore my bicep so hopefully tomorrow will not be so intense.

My previous filthy fifty was worse, I did it with bronchitis, and had to quit due to breathing difficulty. Let this be the standard to beat next time then. I'm still feeling the effects of Saturday. Tomorrow is a one workout day. I might take Wed as a full rest day to recover. Not sure yet.
People keep approaching me about what I am doing in the gym, so I must be doing something right. One of the trainers wants to work with me on developing some scaled down workouts for his clients, which is great if I can continue to spread the word about Crossfit.

I really like how this article describes Crossfit!
When people ask me, "What is CrossFit?" I do my best to give them a concise and non-technical answer. I eschew Coach Glassman's classic "constantly varied, if not randomized, functional movements performed at high intensity" (too many terms to define) in favor of something like, "It's kind of a mix of Olympic-style weightlifting, basic gymnastics, and sprint training." Usually that satisfies their curiosity--most people, especially the sedentary, seem to then immediately mentally file CrossFit under the heading "Things I Would Never Do." I can never let it go, though. I always go on to say, "The genius of it, you see, is that by requiring its athletes to perform for time or for points, CrossFit turns fitness training into a competitive sport. You end up killing yourself to get those extra couple reps in, to shave just a few more seconds off the clock. And then you flop to the ground. Wrecked. Like, you couldn't stand up even if you wanted to." To which most people can't help but respond, "You think that's fun?" I'm sure my "Hell yeah!" does nothing to stop them from further filing CrossFit under "Things I Most Definitely Would Never Do."And that is a terrible shame, because CrossFit is so much more than just an exercise program. CrossFit is, as Greg Glassman says in one CrossFit Journal article, a means to self-actualization. I really believe that. Any activity that regularly necessitates facing and overcoming fear (and everyone who's "drank the Kool-Aid" knows the anxiety that builds before one faces "Linda" or Fight Gone Bad) forces you to grow in courage and integrity and pure grit. CrossFit forges fitness, sure, but it forges character, as well.At the recent Portland Certification Seminar, Dr. Kelly Starrett said, "This stuff just selects for a certain kind of person." The result? CrossFit is a tremendous community of like-minded, self-starting strivers. Being associated with and accepted by such a community is a joy. And it's also an antidote to some of the alienation and loneliness that are part of our modern life.Go to any "Globo-Gym." Watch the people on the elliptical machines reading their magazine articles, or the people on the treadmills watching CNN, or the guy doing biceps curls in the squat rack with his little white iPod headphones screening out everything but his reflection in the mirror. Contrast that with the scene at any CrossFit affiliate WOD session: people sweating, cursing and suffering together. The early finishers are applauded for their impressive performances, but the less-experienced athletes, the less fit, those non-firebreathers who are gutting out their third round with two more to go, they're the ones who get the loudest cheers, the most encouragement. And that is awesome. I've been living in big cities for going on fifteen years now, and I've trained in all kinds of gyms, and I've never seen the like, anywhere.That's what I love about CrossFit. Even more than the hundred fifty pounds I've put on my deadlift, and the extra fifteen pull-ups I've added, and the pride I feel when I finish a WOD like "Murph." That camaraderie and support are what we do best, and I'd like to do my part to ensure that it remains central to the CF experience. Opening my own affiliate is a chance to create and nurture a CrossFit community, a place where people can come and get expert instruction and train themselves to perform once-unimaginable physical feats, a place where they can find out what they're really made of. We can help them strip away the excess and discover the pure gold beneath!

I used kettlebells as the weight with a belt and chain. The idea is to hold the weight between your legs. For those of you who don't know what one is, it's basically a steel ball with a handle sticking out. One of my gym rat buddies was laughing at me. Well, I always wanted something big and heavy in that area.

I dislocated my right pinky at about pull up #62. Evidently my gymmates noticed it too, as the sailor in me decided to come out when I popped it back in. I also broke my speed rope during practice. Well, gives me something to do tonite. At least I can use my pinky as an excuse for being slower than the last time.

Lots of great athletes there. Some people where all legs!
I ran neck to neck with a younger lady until about 5k-22:54 (I'm used to the 5k, after all)
Then she opened up and I ate her dust. I shook her hand afterward and told her what I ate.
I'm still recovering from the run, but can keep food down. I won't go into the details of that anymore. I suppose I should run more to get over it.

Only completed 2 and a half rounds and then had to shower up. I'm not used to the non-standard bar. This kicked my ass. Plus, I got really good news last night and had a few beers. Then I woke up at 0230 and could not get back to sleep for anything. I suppose it will take a few days to adjust to here. Gonna doze for a bit then maybe pick up a workout for pussies, since that's what I am.

So it has been one year since I started the Abs diet/Paleo. Thought I might post some pix from this morning's WOD.
Here are previous posts:

Okay, so here is a progress report. The first four are most recent 5-16-08 and the last four are from the previous post.
Okay, so I need a tan. But I can notice detail. Hey, at this level of body fat, and the length of time it takes for one muscle fiber to grow on my body, this is great. I think I deserve that ice cream I got today...

3 weeks of strict dieting...
Okay, so I listened to Melissa Pearo and took 3 weeks and followed a strict diet. I did have a few beers, but no unnecessary carbs or saturated fats other than that. Granted, I still ate 100 to 150 grams of fats mostly mono and poly. I followed, for the most part, 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fats. I did not measure anything or count calories. The first few pics are the result:



Okay, so I had a little trouble holding the camera which resulted in a bit of blur.
Here are the pics from 2/19/08 for comparison:



I think there is a noticeable difference. I also agree with the statement: Watching your body grow and change is like watching kids grow up. You won't notice it day to day, but after a few months, you'll notice a change.

For time:
45 Double-unders
135 pound Squat clean, 45 reps
45 Ring Dips
45 Double-unders
Then I got called into work cause we kept losing power at the Radar. Isn't amazing how oblivious people are? I was going 70 trying to get to the radar to give AT back their precious primaries and every turn I get behind someone trying to go slooooowww or they get mad cause I am riding too closely so they slow down even more. If they only knew. Reminded me of most people and reality. Most of them are in their own little world, oblivious to the reality of war or their freedoms. It made me have to laugh when I thought about it.
So I fixed things and hung around for a bit. Then went to the gym close to the airport just in case things went down again.
CFWU x 2
For time:
45 Double-unders
135 pound Squat clean, 45 reps
45 Ring Dips
Couldn't do the last round of Doubles and had to sub a 3:1 of parallel bar dips cause I had no rings. Total dips: 135

This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. On call of "rotate", the athletes must move to next station immediately for best score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.

It's funny how we sweat the small things so much in life. As if small people with poor attitudes could affect how I do my job-they are simply that: small, and I still have lives to watch. I would say that's the big thing here-lives-and not the person of poor character that can't see that at this job.

I was fairly pumped at this point. I swear, bodybuilding is so fake. Not that I mind having swollen arms, I just think that it's overrated. After this swelling goes down, I will be back to being a pip-squeak.
Evidently I am burning muscle mass more than fat. What to do with that last bit of fat? Nothing, I don't care at this point. I started today eating like a mad man. Only the healthy stuff though. I don't think I will see much of a difference in the mirror. Who really cares? I'm sick of the f!@*ing people that judge me on how I look and just want to train harder.

I modified this one adding in the 30 lb wt vest
CFWU x 3 less situps and back ext.
Wt vest dragged me down, plus I ran 1000m (the distance around Elite on the roads) and held a broomstick in my hands cause I have been getting attacked by finches-one of which I almost got as it swung down for my doo-rag wearing skull.
Time before without the wt vest and a blown out back: 27:51
Time with wt vest and a healed back: 31:45

Stormed thru my exam. Just a bit more tomorrow. I am going ahead and hitting the gym in the a.m. cause I honestly miss it. Then I think I can pull off an evening workout and then get back in time to cut grass.
Two HH65 Dolphin COAST GUARD helicopters landed and got a drink today at the airport. They were helping some of the flood victims up north. Of course, I was busy all day so I didn't get the chance to go over and talk to the aircrews. I can guess they are from Detroit, my old airsta. One was the 6523 which was a tail number I flew on.

I crashed in the grass. Sometimes the high I get is overwhelming. I lay there and stared at the sky. Mother Earth beneath me, and the sky above and nothing else to worry about.

Okay, so here is a progress report. The first four are most recent 5-16-08 and the last four are from the previous post.
Okay, so I need a tan. But I can notice detail. Hey, at this level of body fat, and the length of time it takes for one muscle fiber to grow on my body, this is great. I think I deserve that ice cream I got today...

3 weeks of strict dieting...
Okay, so I listened to Melissa Pearo and took 3 weeks and followed a strict diet. I did have a few beers, but no unnecessary carbs or saturated fats other than that. Granted, I still ate 100 to 150 grams of fats mostly mono and poly. I followed, for the most part, 40% carbs, 30% protein, 30% fats. I did not measure anything or count calories. The first few pics are the result:



Okay, so I had a little trouble holding the camera which resulted in a bit of blur.
Here are the pics from 2/19/08 for comparison:



I think there is a noticeable difference. I also agree with the statement: Watching your body grow and change is like watching kids grow up. You won't notice it day to day, but after a few months, you'll notice a change.

95 pound Thruster
Pull-ups
I only got 2 rounds cause of time. 23 min about. Forgot my watch. Back still sore.
People are approaching me and asking what I am doing. I guess that's good. I gave a guy some info on Crossfit. Why should I keep my workouts a secret?
I will try to finish Fran tonite, but it's a 3 workout day.
