World-Class Fitness in 100 Words




*
Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat.*Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast.*Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense.*Regularly learn and play new sports.—

Basic + "Girls"

WU: 5 Min on Bike + little "Monkey-ing around" :-)

WOD:
(1) Front Squats 5x5
95x8 115x5 125x5 145x5 155x5
***Legs were fine on these, and feel I could handle a lot more weight...Problem is arm position, and not use to tension on the elbows.
(2) "Lynne" - 5 Rounds - No Rest - Time/Max Reps
-BodyWeight Bench Press (used 155lb)
-Pullups
Time = 5 min 35 Sec
Reps:
12 - 5 - 4 - 3 - 3 (BP)
10 - 4 - 4 - 3 - 3 (PU)
***Was absolutely dead right after first round. Muscles were dead, didnt have much in me.
(3) 3 Rounds: Lunges + Pushups - No rest
30 lb Dumbell Lunges x 10 reps (FAST switches between legs...Speed was focus)
Pushups x 10 reps

The Ending: Some Leg Raises and Planks (both sides, plus standard)

Notes: Front Squats felt good...I feel I could do a lot more weight, once the tension eases up in the elbows with the form on these. "Lynne" - I simply shut down. First set felt good, then just downhill. Not sure if maybe putting a small rest between rounds on this will be more beneficial or what...Will research this. Calories for the day were good. Carb % was up... PW was much higher carbs like yesterday, plus quick absorbing protein.
