  • Is Kindle awesome? So far, I’d have to say yes. Maybe I’ll get one for Xmas. #

Food blog 2

I’m posting to a food blog in hopes of profiling my eating habits.
I’m trying to be more strict with my Paleo and this should catch the cheats.

Tabata This:
Tabata rounds of:
- Pullups - seated for Laura, rings for me since I have a hole in my left hand

- Squats - normal for both
- Rowing

Laura: 39
Tyler: 38 - pullup 5, pushup 6, situp 12, squat 10, row 5 - should have done 15 for squats, took it easy because playoffs start tomorrow.

Workout

Bottom to Bottom Tabata Squats - 8 rounds
Then 3 rounds of 1 minute each of:
- jumping pullups
- DB push press - 15# for me, I need to be nice to my triceps
- Atomic Situps
Finish with Bottom to Bottom Tabata Squats - 8 rounds

And my new PR for consecutive muscle-ups is now 5. beep beep w00p w00p.

CrossFit: Nov 12 / 2007 - Fran 0

Fran

21-15-9 reps, for time of:
- Thruster 95 lbs
- Pull-ups

This is considered the benchmark of the benchmark workouts for CrossFit. The top time for guys is 2:14, and if you get under 3 minutes you’re a freakish mutant in ridiculous shape.

Tonight was my first time as prescribed…. I scored a 13:11. Damn. It was brutal. By the end I was doing a single thruster at a time.

At least there’s room to improve.

A couple of positive notes came out of today. During the warmup I did 4 consecutive muscle-ups. I feel like I could have done more, but Fran was waiting for me. The other good thing was I ripped off the pullups in record time for me, the set of 9 was unbroken, the 15 was a 9 and a 6 and the 21 was an 11 and a 10, so that’s pretty good.

There is a ton of room to grow.

Home Ring Installation 0

A while ago, Laura and I bought a set of rings from RingTraining with the goal of greasing the groove for pullups, dips and muscle-ups.

My father and I put together a hare-brained scheme to install them in our stairwell since it’s the old place with a high enough ceiling to do proper work.

We installed a flip-down floor extension for safety, it makes the area underfoot one single height, covering two stairs.

It works really well, Laura now has 2 dead hang pullups and I’ve been doing a muscleup every time I go up or down the stairs.

Here’s the photoset link.
