Why Didn't I Start A Log Earlier? Greg Fischers Log in Fort Worth
I am recovering from an injury that I will call "runner's knee" which basically means that my right knee swells up after long runs...I think it will subside soon as I have been building tremendous leg strength and hope that the new muscle will "shield" the cartilage from inflaming. Anyway, I started training at GSX (Crossfit / Gymnastics Gym) in Fort Worth, TX on January 29th. I do the Crossfit.com WOD as well as assorted Warmups and Post WOD add ons. Sports - snowboarding, soccer, basketball, wakeboarding? (trying it out this year since I no longer live near the mountains), also wanting to buy a bike ( I live 2.5 miles from the base so I figure I can commute some days)
5' 11" 25 Years Old 216 # body weight on January 7th 204 # today, February 13th. Goal is 190 # by Saint Patty's Day, after I reach this weight it won't matter to me so long as the scale never says 200 until I'm at least 50 years old. I have been averaging 1500 calories daily and been trying to get myself in the Zone. I have been eating more fruits/veggies and lean meats. Trying my damndest to stay away from freezer meals and canned meals. Also trying to minimize carb intake in the afternoon/evening. I am active duty in the Navy for 2 more years, and I am also a licensed Texas Realtor. Married with 2 Cats. Enough background info... |

10 am 4 on 4 basketball
5 pm WOD Randy 75 pound Power snatch, 75 reps for time. I broke these up into 15 sets of fives with about 10 seconds rest average. 67# for the 1st 40 reps. Bar (45#) for the last 35 reps. Forgot to watch my time. I will estimate 15 minutes?? I'll get better at this...This workout helped me really focus on form. It was very easy to tell when form was flawed... |

Jeff, Thanks man. Great gym. Great Staff. I promise I'll bring some people to a Saturday workout soon... Quote:
Yea, definately lower than I would normally consume. I am really trying to get rid of the extra weight I gained while injured. The entire month of January I followed "The Jason Statham Workout" which is more or less a crossfit type metcon workout. I attribute most of my initial weight loss to this training. The weight is coming off slower while following WOD's. I figured I should post my diet on here too, so I'll start tomorrow. Definately planning on upping the calorie consumption once I reach the 185lb-195lb range. I checked out your blog, good insights...Thanks for the comments |

12 pm WOD Fran
Three rounds, 21-15- and 9 reps, for time of: 95 pound Thruster Pull-ups I modified this as follows: 25# (each) dumbell thrusters Assisted Pull Ups (Blue elastic band) Thrusters went smoothly. Broken sets by 1/2 on 15 reps and 9 reps. Pull Ups were broken up. 12/5/4 15 seconds of rest between, 9/4/2, 6/3. 11 Minutes on the nose. This week destroyed my shoulders and back! I know other people feel the same. Glad I have a rest from crossfit tomorrow! I have to say though, I haven't felt better in a long time... |

Run 5 K
I modified as follows Run 4 k I took about 15-20 minutes. I used an extra knee wrap this time, and I didn't feel ANY knee pain. I really focused on form this time, I could tell when I ran "fatigued" that my knee was stressed. I will have to read more about the "pose". But I felt best when I tried to run like Sonic the Hedgehog, like a continuous rolling ball, I didn't let my weight "fall" on my leg but ran in a "circle". Anyway, I'm, just glad I didn't feel any pain. I will time my 5k next time. |
