Lack of Posts – away ice climbing.
Posted on | March 9, 2009 | No Comments
Apologies for the lack of posts this previous week. The girlfriend and I have been ice climbing in New Hampshire.
This may be the last ice of the season, and was around a twelve hour drive. I really need to move closer to good climbing
Glycogen depletion issues (aka I’m a moron)
Posted on | March 3, 2009 | 3 Comments
I finished one set of the thruster, dip,back extension triplet and sat down confused, nauseated and too weak to stand up. I took a few pictures of Rayna as she finished her workout and thought I was going to boot every time I stood up. I didn’t even do a proper cool down. I was too thrashed to do anything.
It was a bonk. A true, “muscle glycogen is gone, blood sugar is too low to function normally” bonk. I could barley move.
Core Training is a waste of time.

Stop wasting your time doing foo-foo ab isolation exercises. If you’re concerned with aesthetics, focus on your diet. If you’re concerned with performance, focus on your diet, then do some heavy lifting that forces the core to do its job and stabilize your body. Think front squat, deadlifts, overhead squats, get ups, etc..
Don’t make people look in the mirror.

I realize that saying people should take responsibility for their actions is nothing new, or terribly original on my part. But I’m still shocked at just how far it goes. So here is my question to all of you. At what point do social welfare and personal responsibility intersect?
Crossfit, Intensity and Burnout.

I am not by any means saying that all out out circuits don’t have their place. I really enjoy pushing myself. In a twisted way, when I’m gagging with my head in a bucket, some little voice in the back of my head is cheering because I know I gave it everything I had.
Despite this, I don’t think it’s the best way to train, at least not all the time.
Things to come…

At the request of several people I’m going to start posting my workout logs on this site. I deviate significantly from the Crossfit/Paleo/Primal standards in that I train with a good deal more volume than most of those guys. When looking at this, it’s important to consider that I’m working to improve athletic performance in several specific sports, not just improve overall health.
