032709 – Happy Hour??

Worktout: Happy Hour at the academy.  A lot of people are doing the Moltz challenge, but my F*CKING shoulder isn’t better yet.  so frustrating.  I used to be able to rattle off 25 ring dips, now I can’t do two. CHRISTINE – 3 x (500m row, 12 3/4 BW deadlifts, 21 box jumps) – 9:02, PR from 9:40

032609 – much needed rest

Workout: Rest, AMRAP in 1 day

Nutrition:
– 800AM – [2] – 1 chicken apple sausage, 2/3 Lara bar
– 1100AM – [2] – 2 oz chicken, 1 small banana, almond butter
– 130PM – [4] – 4 oz pork chops, 1.5 blocks bell peppers, 1.5 blocks snap peas,
          1 block carrots, 24 almonds (some honey roasted, some lemon almonds)
– 515PM – [4] – 4 oz chicken, 5 oz fresh cubed mango, 1 orange,
          1 level tbsp almond butter, 1 level tbsp peanut butter
– 730PM – [?] – cheat meal/night – a few beers and some appetizers, nothing
          crazy – some chicken and seared ahi, some corn soup-ish stuff, a tiny bit
          of pizza and one fried shrimp.  Ate a bunch of almonds to stay awake on
          the drive home afterwards though.

[6C/56bpm] – I blame the C on the coffee I had last night around 7PM.  Probably not the best idea.  I also weighed in this morning at 164lbs.  WOW.  On Sunday after eating and drinking all night Saturday, I weighed in at 170.  I figure part of it is water weight, since I played basketball last night and did not drink TOO much water before going to sleep, but both measurements were done post-morning-liquidation of my body, though Sunday was post poop and today was pre poop.  I hope it’s not upper body mass loss due to the shoulder being out.  That would be devastating.

032509 – 6am hump day

Workout: 600AM Crossfit – decided to drop in for the 6AM class today just b/c I only did speed work yesterday, and otherwise would only be playing basketball tonight and resting tomorrow.  Turns out today was a short and devastating workout…
3 x (10 225lb Deadlifts + 200m sprint) – The first set was awesome, I finished the DL’s in 12 or 13 seconds, and I was out the door at the same time as Lawrence, and I beat him on the sprint by a bit.  I got back on the bar and had no hamstrings left – and I went from an unbroken deadlift set to sets of 3.  He finished in the low 4’s, I ended up in the low 5’s.  ouch.

Nutrition:
– 530AM – [2] – 1 chicken apple sausage, 1 pear, 1 fingerscoop of PB (yes, finger)
– 645AM – [2] – 2 oz chicken, 2 oz yams, 9 almonds – I’ve heard that the post-WOD
         high glycemic consumption should not be accompanied by fats, but… yeah, 
         I need to look into that.
– 930AM – [2] – 2 oz chicken, 1 apple, 1 tbsp almond butter
– 1230PM – [4] – 4 oz pork chops, 24 spears asparagus, 6 oz fresh pineapple,
         topped off w/ 15 lime roasted almonds

      – today was going to be a 2x a day, but I wasn’t paying attention to when I

032309

Workout: Modified TCA blog workout – theirs includes SDHP’s & ring dips – 7 x (12 & 12), mine used pullups and GHD situps.  For some reason I had a hard time with BOTH the pullups and GHD situps – don’t know why my upper body wasn’t functioning for the pullups.  Only got out 5 or 6 at a time.  I think it’s b/c my hands are still destroyed.

Nutrition:
730AM – [2] – zone bar
930AM – [3] – 6 egg whites, 1 banana with almond butter

032209 – Modified Lynne + bball

Workout:
1200PM – Modified Lynne – Lynne is 5 x (max rep BW benchpress immediately followed by max pullups) no time component.  Since I can’t benchpress w/ my shoulder yet, I subbed out the pair for BW DL and BW BS, which shouldn’t have been THAT bad, except that I did that bike ride yesterday. Round/(DL,BS) = 1/(13,14) 2/(16,17) 3/(18,15) 4/(17,13) 5/(21,13) Total: 157- the back squats immediately following the DL’s were brutal.

     1/2 orange, 12 almonds, 2 tsp peanut butter

032109 – Cycling/cheat day

Workout: 72.9 miles, 5500+ ft of climbing, most of it on a whim, with the only real intention getting in GMR, a nice, long climb.  HERE is the route we took, and it takes some explaining… So on top of getting in GMR, we decided before we left, that we were going to make it to the Peach for lunch in the middle of the ride.  As we got to the Peach, we were debating whether or not to complete an out and back, re-doing GMR, but in reverse.  Only problem is that the section on hwy 39/east fork took FOREVER, so we decided against it.  Instead, we went and completed some extra short hills near the house, which were staples on my old training route.  However, if you look @ the elevation profile – they are nothing compared to GMR, hah.  Total estimated calories burned – at least 4000.  Afterwards, we went to Corona to pick up some bike parts… and on the way back, we ended up at Lucilles.  ’nuff said.
