LOL. It's working out pretty good so far. Chuckfit that is. :-)

Nick, thanks!

"ChuckFit" Day 1 and 2

Yesterday was the first official day of "ChuckFit" and my efforts to get stronger and hopefully acquire some gymnastics skills I haven't really ever concentrated on (muscle-ups and HSPUs).

Day 1:
Pre-class workout
Full clean and jerks
Worked up to a heavy single of 125. Not a max just making sure I don't lose any ground here. Pretty pleased with 125. I know that ties an old PR and went up pretty easily.
Bench press
100x3,3,3,4

After class workout:
Tabata pushups
15,8,4,3,3,4,4,4= 45
Tabata Pullups
10,9,10,6,6,4,6,4= 55

Day 2
Day 2

Snatch
Really getting sore and tight in my chest and shoulders from yesterdays tabata work so I stayed light
Singles at 65 working on technique

Dynamic Effort Squats
135x2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2,2

Went really low in the last half of the sets. We're hoping this will help with squat cleans, snatches, front squats etc. and of course making my back squat stronger (duh).

Tabata Squats:
18,18,18,16,17,14,15,15=131

Tabata butterfly, abmat, unachored situps:
13,14,14,15,14,13,13,14=110

Cheat meal goodness! Good for strength gains AND fat loss. :-)

Holy moly! It's been a while since I posted. I've been busy but really productive! I graduated this past month from graduate school and will officially be a Nurse Practitioner as soon as I take the certification test. I also got engaged to fellow Cfer and used-to-be-frquent-cfboard-poster Charles Bennington. AND I lost about 20 lbs since this time last year so..s I guess you could say 2010 was a good year.

Lately, I'm following the mainsite and doing extra stuff as well. That's what's worked for me so that's what I'm sticking with.

Today's wod was yesterday's mainsite wod:

3 rounds:
400 meter run
30 ohs (45lbs)
21 pullups
14:25

Eh... I could've probably gone faster but that leaves room for improvement I guess.

Also 45 minutes on the steps to no where this morning.

Thanks for the welcome back!

Nice to see you back! I've been fairly consistent, just not about logging
