Fitness Update-4/5 thru 4/9

Friday

Today is Friday 4/9 and I've taken the past two days off. This was my first week back on strict nutrition and I felt it. I was sluggish and having to dig deep to find energy. Now, I'm feeling fantastic but for a few days there, my body was going through some "poor fuel" withdrawls and hollering at me a bit. I'm already down about 10-12 pounds from my weight on Monday (that's some serious food/water weight I was carrying!) and that's without fasting, I've been eating like a horse! I'm stoked to be over the hump. My nutrition this week has been legit and I'm pretty pumped to be feeling the motivation again to stay clean. I think my performance from here on out will really start to reap reward.

This week, I trained hard Monday through Wednesday. As I said, I was struggling but was still able to get a good bit of work done.

Monday-4/5-Running Chipper AFAP:

800m run
50 jump rung pull-ups
40 kb swings, 32kg
400m run
30 box jumps, 24"
20 wall ball shots, 10ft/20#
200m run
15 push-ups
10 kick to supports
100m run

time=14:30

This one had a 15 minute time cap and I just wanted to make sure I came in under the cap.

Tuesday-4/6-"DT", 5 rounds AFAP:

12 deadlifts, 155#
9 hang power cleans, 155#
6 jerks, 155#

time=8:30

Wasn't happy with this time, was shooting for sub-8. I went after it and gassed out. I went unbroken on all the jerks until the very last one and failed rep 6 in round 5. Took me a bit to re-coup and finish the final rep, it was pretty poor. All things considered, I'll look to do this one again in the next month and really think I can come in close to the 7 minute mark.


I'm headed down to the level 1 cert this weekend with my brother from another mother, Loren Winter, and company. It's being held down at Rainier CrossFit and I'm stoked for it! I'm in Snohomish today hanging with the old man before I head down and am toying with swinging into Snohomish CrossFit to get a wod in. But then again it'd probably be wise to save some energy for the weekend. Stay tuned.
