Super Craziness & Stuff

Author: Eric | Files under News and Announcements, The Lumber

Well, lately I’ve been really busy and it’s been bugging me in the back of my mind for a few weeks now that I’ve been neglecting this site. Fortunately, I’ve still had time to read my usual daily batch of stuff & obviously I’ve still been religiously working out so I have plenty of stuff [...]

Today I was truly fatigued and so I did 45 mins on the bike trainer and a bunch of bodyweight stuff like push-ups, handstands, squats, calf raises, jump rope, etc. Oh yeah, by fatigued I mean weak… I still seem to have plenty of endurance left. I am now (after 5 days) fully, undoubtedly in [...]

A Ketogenic Diet for Rapid Fat Loss?

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 [...]

Merry Christmas! & Saturday 061223

Author: Eric | Files under Health, The Lumber, fitness, training/workout examples

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 [...]

Tuesday 061219 & Updates

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 [...]

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 [...]

Okay, so I’m back in the game! (I think)
Today’s crossfit workout doesn’t strike me as a nice way to ease back into my training, so I’m going to modify it. It’ll be something like the following:
80lb thrusters, 10 reps
10 pull-ups
10 handstand push-ups
80lb thrusters, 10 reps
10 weighted dips
10 hanging leg raises
Then I’ll probably throw in some [...]

Thursday 061130

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 [...]
