No.343 Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 I'm not kicking myself, but I couldn't tell you the time because after after I got cross-eyed and dizzy I stopped. I definitely stepped out of my comfort zone with this one. I hope to get the hang of it. I'm sure that I won't look at the clock for a while.

XRe Posted March 4, 2008 Share Posted March 4, 2008 More scaling required No worries on the time, man In starting with Linda, you picked one of the monster workouts... that's a brave one. They don't call that one "The 3 Bars of Death" for nothing! Cross-eyed, dizzy... yeah... those are good things Keep it up... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It makes a lot of sense to keep track of my glacial times. I should know better. It seems like ever since I started to track food intake and the few little exercises that I was doing I've seen a lot more improvement. I suppose it keeps it foremost in my mind and helps me to be honest with myself. Thanks for the tips and encouragement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carinab Posted March 5, 2008 Share Posted March 5, 2008 Today at the gym, it was a scaled Cindy, me and my hubby. Last time I did Cindy, it was scaled to 1 pull up, 4 push ups, and 7 squats and I did 9 rounds in 12 minutes. Today, it was AMRAP in 12 min of 5 Pull ups 10 push ups 15 squats I didn't expect to get the same number of rounds bumping up the reps but I got close! 7 rounds in 12 minutes. I can't do kipping pull ups at this gym (not without the risk of tipping over the whole weight contraption - it isn't anchored) so half the rounds ended up being jumping pull ups, the rest were done on the gravitron at 70% body weight). The push ups went to the bench versus the floor on the third round. On the last round I had to break up the set into 5 and 5. The squats, as usual, were the easiest part. So overall, I think I've definitely made progress over the last round of Cindy. Now if you'll excuse me I had more kool-aid to drink.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn Knight Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 Is anyone using any supplements? I am using pure dried egg whites and Muscle Milk RTD. When I leave for the desert here in a month I will be taking a keg of Muscle Milk with me. Crossfit works wonders in the desert. More time for sleep!!

Putty Posted March 7, 2008 Share Posted March 7, 2008 I take a multi called "Alive" from the health food store and Calcium supps to help bind the oxylate so as to inhibit kidney stone formation. Was never a big fan of vites but I sure notice the benifts under Crossfit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Conley Posted March 7, 2008 Author Share Posted March 7, 2008 (edited) Got the word back from the knee doctor yesterday. Torn tendon. Looks like I'll be out for a couple more weeks. I go back and see him again on Monday. Totally bummed now.... Chris C. Edited March 7, 2008 by Chris Conley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ummm, the calcium I take is specific to my metabolic problem, where I do not process calcium very well, thereby oxaltes not binding and precipitating in the kidneys. There are a variety of stones and the specific formation of, so you taking calcium as a preventative to stone formation most likely is not too accurate. Some people form them with too much protein in the diet, etc. etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Di Vita Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 The only supplement I take is 1000 mg of Vitamin C. That sucks about the tendon, how did you do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carinab Posted March 8, 2008 Share Posted March 8, 2008 Chris - Man, I'm sorry to hear that. Are they gonna repair it? Ortho surgery is pretty good these days. I hope it all works out for you. As for the vitamin discussion, I take calcium w/ D and minerals, high quality fish oil, and a whole food multi vitamin. I also mix one or two emergen-c's into my daily water (the joint complex one). Hmm....I guess I should include this. I end up with one or two tblsp's in my kefir shakes or in my coffee as creamer if I'm low on protein for the day. In addition to the vitamins, it has a ton of amino acids. Does muscle milk contain soy? I tried to look on the website for ingredients but could only find the nutrition label. Soy is no bueno for the ladies. And since I did yoga yesterday, I did the filthy fifty today - albeit it was more like the twisted twenty-five. The push presses were the monster. I started to feel a twinge in my elbow so I backed down from a 45# bar to a 23# body bar at rep 15. Had to split the gravitron pull ups into two sets (12/13). The burpees too with the push ups changing to knees from of feet at rep 9. I split the back extensions too. I can't actually hit the ball against the wall so I tossed it straight up for the wall ball set. I grabbed late once and bonked my throat...yeah that feel good It took what seemed like a long time but was actually only 18:40. I had to keep checking the list to see what came next! I was hugely winded but I don't feel sore (well, not yet). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Conley Posted March 8, 2008 Author Share Posted March 8, 2008 The only supplement I take is 1000 mg of Vitamin C.That sucks about the tendon, how did you do it? Here's what the MRI says: Tear of the quadriceps tendon medially at its patellar attachment site. Believe it or not but I did it doing box drills with my rifle. Cleats can be a bad thing sometimes. Didn't really hurt at first just burned real bad. Now it feels like a 24 hour tooth ache. I've had that knee scoped before. I was back playing golf in a week. The thing that's got me bummed the most is that I can't do anything. I feel like I'm wasting time. Chris C. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
