CrossFit In Vermont: Wednesday, January 20th, 2010

No go on the training today. Given the way my school and work schedule is this semester I just don’t think I’m going to have the time to follow the 3-on 1-off schedule and work out on whatever days that puts me on. Given my schedule I think I’m going to be able to do a Monday, Tuesday training, and then a Thursday, Friday, Saturday training. This still gives me 5 days which is plenty, especially considering I’m often too sore to hit 6 days in the weeks that are setup like that. So no training today, just rest. Feeling pretty good, and looking forward to hitting the weights tomorrow. New paleolithic solution by Robb Wolf here. Cheers. – Jade

CrossFit In Vermont: Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

Feeling great this morning. Got a solid nights sleep, and woke up early (for me) without my alarm. Worked for a while on my business plan this morning, then class, and hit the gym after that. So far eating has been solid, all paleo today. Surprisingly not very sore from yesterdays workout. After the destruction that Barbara caused me I would have thought there would be some similar feeling this morning. Luckily that was not the case. Back is a little sore but other than that I feel good. WOD: Back Squat: 245×4, 255×4, 265×3 Front Squat: 185×6, 185×6, 185×6 Overhead Squat: 115×8, 125×8, 125×6 Solid workout today, worked the legs hard, and worked on having all sets heavy not just a couple of them. Again last time I did my CF total my back squat max was 285, so I must be…

CrossFit In Vermont: Monday, January 18th, 2010

Well, still sore this morning. Legs and back are pretty much recovered but both my chest, and especially my abs are still pretty cooked. Unfortunately had a bad day of eating, wolfed down a couple slices of pizza at work, but everything else was clean paleo food. Kind of odd. I wasn’t really craving them, but I ate them almost in a preemptive action so that I don’t go on some ridiculous binge a week down the road. Either way it didn’t upset my stomach at all, but I will say that it made by head feel a little funny. Feeling great though, and definitely getting leaner, I think I’m closing in on that 10% body fat level, all while getting stronger. WOD:“Angie”For time:100 Pull-ups100 Push-ups100 Sit-ups100 Squats 17:12 Have to say I’m pumped on the workout. Again between my overall good eating…

CrossFit In Vermont: Sunday, January 17th, 2010

Had to take a rest day today. My body is incredibly sore, and my chest is just destroyed after already being sore yesterday and then hitting the ole bench press which I haven’t touched in like 4 months. Surprisingly not as sore in the trap and lower back area as I thought I would have been. Abs are destroyed, again from all the sit-ups on Friday and then the toes-to-bar yesterday. Not only sore today but feeling pretty beat as well. I slept awful last night. I’ve had this little itch in the back of my throat all week and it is starting to cause some pretty intense coughing. It kept me up for a while at 4 AM last night, wasn’t to psyched. It’s weird because I don’t really feel sick, and it honestly just feels like a feather is itching my…

CrossFit In Vermont: Saturday, January 16th, 2010

So sore this morning. My entire body is in pain, legs, abs, lats, and chest are particulary sore given the exercises from yesterday. Solid eating today, had some chicken wings which had very minimal breading, but other than that I’ve eaten clean all day. Still pumped on my time yesterday doing barbara. Was kind of looking forward to my training today, and kind of dreading it as well because I knew how hard I can and should be pushing myself. I’ve been reading little snippits here and there from people about the mental aspect of training and it is something I need to work on. Thinking about doing barbara yesterday there were definitely times on both the squats and sit-ups that I could have pushed harder, it was just my head telling me no. This, for me, is something that is also relevenant…
