Ketogenic Diets, Protein Sparing Modified Fasting & Low Carbs - oh my!
Well folks, I usually abhor dieting as a fad and can honestly say that 98% of the crap I’ve read in books, magazines and websites has not only been crap but is likely to do you way more harm than good. I’m not denying [...]
And Happy Holidays to all of you, have a great new year! Saturday’s workout was:
Complete as many rounds as you can in twenty minutes of:
10 Pull-ups
7 Handstand Push-ups
Rope climb, 15 ft
7 Ring Dips
And today’s Christmas Eve workout is a nice, easy 5k run. I’ll probably substitute it for 25 minutes on the bicycle trainer.
Take care [...]
First, let me say that I didn’t do a very hardcore workout today and I’ll give a bit more detail in the update that follows. Here’s the workout:
6 rounds of 1 minute rope jumping, averaging 100-200 jumps per minute, varying the style such as double-unders, alternating feet, two feet at once, knee to chest, etc.
2 [...]

Body weight bench press
Pull-ups

As many of you might have figured out based on my choice of daily exercise, I am a big fan of intense interval training of all flavors. The sort I’ve found most likely to make you keel over and puke is often referred to as “Tabata intervals” and requires you to work for 20 seconds, [...]
Today’s workout was to complete as many rounds in 20 minutes as I could of:
Run 400 meters
Max rep Pull-ups
I didn’t keep track of how many I did, but I can tell you the pull-ups were insanely difficult after sprinting a quarter of a mile. They’re definately improving after having done them daily for the last [...]
This is one of my favorite compound exercises. It works your entire body to some degree, though it focuses mainly on core strength. I couldn’t really find a ton of good, in depth articles to show you guys off of the net - but there was one that seemed very good here! The CrossFit exercise [...]
Sometimes when you’re just starting out, or coming to one realm of fitness from another (say running to weightlifting), learning all of the different exercises can be overwhelming. Not only are there thousands of exercises, it can seem there are equally different ways to do each one! One might waste plenty of time scouring the [...]
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 [...]
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!
