What is CrossFit All About?

The CrossFit prescription is “constantly varied, high-intensity, functional movement.” Functional movements are universal motor recruitment patterns; they are performed in a wave of contraction from core to extremity; and they are compound movements—i.e., they are multi-joint. They are natural, effective, and efficient locomotors of body and external objects. But no aspect of functional movements is more important than their capacity to move large loads over long distances, and to do so quickly.

Tuesday Jan 21 2009

I am going to change up my workouts a little bit. I want to gain strength and still get the cardio benefits of crossfit so I will be doing some larger lifts a few times a week that include deadlift, squat, overhead press, cleans.

WOD Deadlifting and Row 500m
current max 405 lbs

5 X 5 @ 80% of Max = 325 lbs
3 X 3 @ 90% of Max = 365 lbs
3 X 1 @ 95% of Max = 385 lbs

I got the 5 sets of five fairly easy
I got 2 sets of the three
I got 1 set of the 1

Rowed 500m in 1:35 (a new PR)

That weight got heavy fast. It felt great though, I should be stronger next week even.

FOOD
I was traveling for a couple of days so I made it easy on myself and brought a bunch of the same food. It sounds really boring but I got what I needed out of it.

6 am 4 blocks:
-Whole wheat tortilla, mayo and 4 oz turkey
-1 apple
-24 almonds

Then I ate the same thing at
9:30 am
12:30 pm
3:30 pm

Worked out at 4:30
had a post workout shake with 2 blocks
-blueberries
-strawberries
-milk
-protein, glutamine, creatine
then 12 almonds (not in the shake)

Before bed 2 blocks
-1/2 cup cottage cheese
-1 cup yogurt
-12 almonds

20 total blocks
