Closing Day 2

So, I am feeling my body adjust to the insane amount of fat I'm consuming. I was a true glutton throughout high school so the amount of food doesn't bother me, but I have never eaten this much fat (albeit healthy fat). Zac and Dave said they went through this low energy feel like crap period so I guess I will get over it too. At the end of the second day I am feeling better with it already.

I would have to say that the highlight of my day was the workout. Once I started warming up and getting ready for the power cleans I felt great. My weight was nothing impressive, but I went up to 175 for a couple sets then backed it down to 165 to work on my form.

After that, the 30 lb vest and I went to work:
10 min for rounds of:
4 Box Jumps
4 Plyo Push ups
4 Pull Ups

I made 9 rounds but could have made ten if I someone had been there to hold me accountable for the last 45 seconds. It was tough, I was really feeling my performance decline due to the increase in calories.

All in all I'm totally excited about the new training regimen. Its allowing us to throw some creativity into our workouts and train ways that I've never trained before.

Some side goals I have before the end of the three months:

-Gain proficiency at the Clean and Jerk and the Snatch.

-Practice Pistols over and over and over until I'm able to incorporate them completely into a W.O.D.

-Gain Flexibility

-12 consecutive handstand pushups

-Turkish Get-Up Kim

-Push Press Ernesto

-Deadlift my car (not the equivalent weight, the actual car)

-Climb Mt. Franklin with a 135lb bar overhead. (active shoulders the whole way)

-and last but not least... brush up on my Espanol.


Adios Amigos!

Very nice, I think you future plans with the mass gain and our NEW crossfit program will work out well for you.

Quick question: Are you hungry at all even though you are eating tons of fat?
Personally I am ready to up my blocks, because I am hungry, getting leaner, and want to be a large human (aka brock lesner)
