CrossFit: Nov 27 / 2007

3 Rounds for time of:
- 10 Deadlift (L: 95# T: 135#)
- 25 Sumo High Pulls (L: 45# T: 85#) - that’s some bad form!

Laura: 7:46
Tyler: 6:57

We also did Tabata Squats:
L: 16, 15, 14, 16, 15, 13
T: 21, 20, 20, 21, 20, 21

I was happy with 20.

And an ex-girlfriend from high school is a member of CrossFit Toronto now, good to see her.

30 muscle-ups for time…

I think I may try 30 muscle-ups for time tonight…

Using MySql with Lift

I need to use MySQL with my Lift webapp and here’s how I did it. In Boot.scala I replaced the Derby DBVendor object with a MySQL object. Hope that helps.

Add this to your pom.xml:

        <dependency>
          <groupid>mysql</groupid>
          <artifactid>mysql-connector-java</artifactid>
          <version>5.0.41</version>
        </dependency>

object DBVendor extends ConnectionManager {
def newConnection(name: ConnectionIdentifier): Can[Connection] = {
try
{
Class.forName(”com.mysql.jdbc.Driver”)
val dm = DriverManager.getConnection(”jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/database_name”, “user”, “password”)
Full(dm)
}
catch
{
case e : Exception => e.printStackTrace; Empty
}
}
def releaseConnection(conn: Connection)
{
conn.close
}
}


Next up is learning how to set up my domain objects properly.

CrossFit: Nov 24 / 2007

We took a week off to fully recover and then come back refreshed. It felt quite good.

Laura/Tyler
5 rounds for time of:
75#/135# deadlift
10/20 pullups

8:09/8:32

We both felt we should have done more weight on the deads.

I did Tabata pushups as well, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 7, 5 = 60 total
As soon as the hole in my left hand heals, I’m going to add Tabata pullups and squats.

Good Calories, Bad Calories - Podcast on CBC Quirks and Quarks

http://www.cbc.ca/quirks/archives/07-08/nov17.html

Listen to this podcast and rethink your diet. Or don’t, whatever, I thought it was good.

Basically (I’m not a doctor, don’t trust me) research points to carbs lead to insulin response, insulin response leads to fat accumulation.
