This is one of the most fun yet challenging of the CF workouts. While I love working with iron, as they say, I still feel that it’s only a diversion until you have “mastered” your own bodyweight.
Five rounds, each for time of:
20 Pull-ups
30 Push-ups
40 Sit-ups
50 Squats
Rest precisely three minutes between each round. Post time for [...]
Well, I have been feeling a bit under the weather and I’m 95% positive it has nothing to do with biphasic sleep being the cause. I’m not sick, just feeling a bit… drained. This happens to me every 8 - 12 months as I’m sure it has to most of you who train hard, especially [...]
Today’s CF workout was:
10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of the following-
Dead lift: 1 1/2 body weight
Bench press: body weight
Clean: 3/4 body weight
I weight ~175 lbs, and I found weighted push-ups to be a more fun & challenging alternative to the BP. This one sucked!

I assume you’re reading this article because you desire to know the ’secret’ to doing tons of pull-ups, or to doing well any exercise for that matter. Well I’ve got a method here thanks to Pavel Tsatsouline over on DragonDoor that will have you making Marines cry in a matter of months.
Here’s the thing though, [...]
I found an incredibly entertaining read on sleep today by A. Roger Ekirch and thought I’d share it with you all.
During the first days of autumn in 1878, Robert Louis Stevenson, at age twenty-seven, spent twelve days trudging through the Cévennes, France’s southern highlands, despite having suffered from frail health during much of his youth. [...]
Three efforts for time of:
Run 800 meters
This was a fun one, but since I’m not a hardcore running fan I decided to do bicycle sprints instead. At least this helps me keep in decent shape for the next season.

A few updates:
First of all, everything’s going great and I’m adapting really well. I feel more alive and alert all day, and am getting more stuff done than usual and it’s not just because of the extra waking time. I’m going to begin phasing out the alarm clock permanently soon, and will do a ‘test [...]
Today’s workout was pretty fun…
21-15-9 reps of:

Handstand push-ups
5 sets of 5 hanging leg raises

Yesterday’s bout of death was a crazy 30 Muscle-ups for time, or 120 pull-ups and 120 dips if you cannot do the MU or don’t have proper equipment. I’m not sure whether I agree that 4 pull-ups and 4 dips is an effective replacement for 1 muscle up for me personally, as I can do [...]
