How to achieve world class fitness!!

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.

New Crossfit Gym

Hello my friends!! I'm sorry for not posting anything yesterday but I ended up flying 7.1 hours and when I finally got to my hotel room I went straight to bed and sleep. Today however I didn't fly that long and I had time to workout.

I went to a new crossfit gym in Claremont, CA, it's called Dalton's Crossfit. Dalton is a very nice guy and has a very nice small gym. The really big bonus is that it's only 1 mile from my hotel. I just love convenience. Anyway today he had kind of an unusual workout but since it was my first day back after being sick I was glad to take it easy. Here is what we did.

Row 500 meters
3x5 pullups
Then 1 rep max Press, 3 rep max Push Press, 3 rep max Push Jerk followed by: 3 minutes on/2 minutes off of; 180* burpees, sledge hammering, wallball situps.

I was able to do 135lbs press. That has been my max for sometime now. I did 145lbs on the push press and 155lbs on the push jerk. When I started the 3 on/2 off I did a really good job counting the burpees (33) but I completely lost count on the sledge hammers and wall ball situps. Just to clarify the 180* burpees are done like regular burpees except that you spin 180* in the air on every jump. That is the first time I have ever done wall ball situps so I'm not sure how effective it was. I'll let you know tomorrow if I'm sore from doing them.

Overall it was a good workout to get back into the groove. Tomorrow I'll do an endurance and crossfit workout. I tell you it really feels good to be healthy again. I don't get sick very often but when I do it really kicks my ass....just like these workouts.

Have a good day!!
