I go for a leisurely ride on Sundays with the wife. If I bike longer than 40 km (42 km is the actual number) it's when conditions are better for doing so (not hot/humid/not terribly windy etc.) I'm this heavy because I eat too much. I used to weigh about 250 pounds and then I dropped down to about 175, now I'm back up to 185-190. I would like to get down to 175-180 again if possible. My diet always is a work in progress and yes, I do enjoy my alcohol on the weekends. My friends are friends who drink very heavily 2-3 times a week and like to go out for Korean BBQ while doing so. They're all types who've lifted since their teens and are now in their early 30s who were already strong before coming to Korea, I suppose. It's frustrating to hang around them. One guy is like 170 pounds but he can bench 305...Deadlifts 475... I wish I could get those kinds of numbers  | ||

There's a couple things where I'm really not sure WHAT I want to do - I don't know how I want to progress my squat, I don't know how often I want to back vs front squat (right now I'm doing a week of back, a week of front, repeat). I don't know what frequency or volume I want to press at, and I don't know if I care about bench press at all. I know I want to snatch and C&J twice a week in some variation, but I don't know how long that's going to take me and what other work I can fit in that day. I don't know when my work schedule is going to be, so I don't know what days are open for AM/PM workouts, what days I have 45 minutes and what days I have 2 hours. It's all very much a headache and I've got a long way to go before I solve it. | ||

3 Rounds For Time- 10 Chest to bar pullups 10 Front Squats 135# 10 Burpees Completed in 9:59. Burpees and pullups took under 45 seconds each per round, front squats killed me. Then: 50 Strict Chest to Bar pullups, as few sets as possible. 3 DB Strict Press (45#) every time you're off the bar. Written was 3 HSPU, but I can't do those so I had to sub it. 12-10-5-7-6-5-5. @Decaf if I wanted a first world problems post, I would start bitching about how much crossfit gyms cost again. | ||

Not sure right now whether I'll be joining another crossfit, or just going back to the college's gym I was at previously and adding some metcons into my workouts. Giving me quite a headache trying to work all the things I want to do in together - I was enjoying someone else doing the programming for me.

It's all very much a headache and I've got a long way to go before I solve it. You know when I was in college I just read T-Nation forums and went to the gym to lift heavy things. I don't recommend reading the T-Nation forums, but you are stressing out about the wrong things. Body recomp is 80% diet and 20% training. If you aren't eating enough food and getting enough protein it doesn't really matter what specific training protocol you are using to progress on your squat. Programming is really overrated for people who aren't already really strong. Consistency, intensity, and diet far outweigh other factors. | ||

you want to increase your strength you have to sleep 8 hours every night at the same time every night. | ||

FS 140kgx2x5 (PR) OHP 50kgx8x3 my shoulders still lack the flexibilty to jerk properly, but I could get up to 90 before pain +1 on programing being overrated, pick a few exercises for the day, low reps when you feel strong, higher reps when you feel weak. Percentages are retarded in my opinion btw. | ||

however, today, while doing cleans, my left anterior deltoid started hurting a lot while I was in the rack position. it's more of a pulled muscle kind of hurt, not a soreness kind of hurt, so I stopped my workout immediately. it's gotten a little better since I've rested it the remainder of today, and some quick internet research seems to point to a mild rotator cuff injury that should get better by itself in the next day or so of relaxing, but I was wondering if anyone had had similar problems and whether there are any technique issues associated with this kind of injury. One of my friends said I might be pulling with my arms too soon instead of waiting for the full triple extension, so that's one posssibility, but is there anything else? Thanks! | ||

Everything else usually ends up gravy, but that's due in large part to my training for going on 6 years now. Nothing affects my quality of life more than whether or not I get my 8 hours minimum of sleep, so I guess that's why I sometimes forget about it when talking about lifting. I don't understand how people operate when tired. Usually nothing you are doing is so important it can't wait for a nap. | ||
