I must have a little rest somewhere in between. Not strong enough to complete WOD without rest, Anyway, I did 'Helen' routine today. It is supposed to be 3 Rounds of 400 metre run, 21 Dumbbell Swing (55lbs) and 12 Pull Ups. But I changed the routine a little bit Run: 3 minutes of run, aiming to complete at least 600m. Dumbbell Swing: 12.5*21, 15*21, 17.5*21 Chin Up: 10+2, 8+4, 8+4 (thought I could complete sets of 12 without stopping but fail to do so again) Time to complete is between 15 to 16 minutes. Added a bit abs routine after that. Assisted Crunch: 25, 20 Reverse Crunch: 20, 20 Not sure if I can run 15km tomorrow, hehehe. Will try my best. Here it is if youd like to have a go .. start with a swim 500meters (under 9mins) rest 10 mins 80 push ups (under 2mins) 80 sit ups (under 2 mins) 15 pull ups (no time limit) rest for 10 mins run 1.5miles (under 10mins) and congrats you are physically qualified for SEAL training!

QUOTE(pizzaboy @ Aug 1 2008, 08:50 AM) 80 push ups (under 2mins) YEp thats the thing must be good at all...some people good at running and swimming but not good at push ups or pull ups and vice versa..80 sit ups (under 2 mins) 15 pull ups (no time limit) This is easy. The running and the swimming part, NOT so easy..... Oh yeah xy2610 do you workout with a group ?? when you do crossfit? This post has been edited by kikikilly: Aug 1 2008, 01:55 PM |

QUOTE(xy2610 @ Aug 3 2008, 12:56 AM) LOL, it's very tough indeed. oh Kipping pull ups(when you use a swinging motion).Ok, I hurt my knee somehow, hehehe. Glad today not much works involved lower body. Only managed to do 100 pull up and 100 dips with 10 sets of 10 each exercise. Dips are ok, but the pull up is mostly swinging pull up or hanging shrug after the 3 sets of 10. LOL. Tomorrow is the long awaited rest day for Moi. Injuries are common when you push yourself that hard and if you happen to need to use your leg soon i recommend RICE.Heals anything in two daysif your lucky one day(annoying thing is you got to do it every 2 hours 7-8 times a day). Heres a link with the RICE method(if you're not yet familiar) http://sportsmedicine.about.com/cs/rehab/a/rice.htm This post has been edited by kikikilly: Aug 3 2008, 01:04 PM |

QUOTE(xy2610 @ Aug 3 2008, 04:38 PM) Got it, Kipping pull up. Haha yeah i know what you mean .The feeling of muscles being broken only to get repaired and reinforced lol there is like videos of people kipping on youtube if you wish to compare or analyseI noticed that I swing more to my left hand side when pulling though. Anyway, thanks for the advice. At first, I thought you ask me to have more rice, LOL. My knee is getting better now but the DOMS on my chest is getting more intense. Like the sensation of DOMS, cannot stop poking my own chest, This post has been edited by kikikilly: Aug 3 2008, 11:48 PM |

QUOTE(pizzaboy @ Aug 4 2008, 10:23 AM) Consistent kipping are bloody hard to maintain. I still haven't learned how to press myself down properly yet. correct me if im wrong - people who do Crossfit are not concerned about looking great or weight gain products (well size and looks comes about and its nice) You know what they say about the chest muscles for Crossfit? When it's muscular enough for you, stop. Apart from strengthening the triceps (Which CGBP would be better), chest muscles have practically no purpose in life besides showing off. Eg: You're not supposed to push someone away when fighting, you're supposed to pull them and trip the feet. Not the most useful bodypart for crossfit but Whats really important is how the hell em i going to survive the next workout without puking lol This post has been edited by kikikilly: Aug 4 2008, 09:11 PM |

QUOTE(pizzaboy @ Aug 4 2008, 09:47 PM) I believe almost every single person that STARTED crossfit was motivated to look better along with the get fitter and healthy living thingamjig. Lol well it dose not exactly give you the male model body,pretty boy look girls love so much..For me it just looks tough and healthy .Yeah i guess your right though we do start it too look and feel healthierAw c'mon, even I started lifting weights, doing bicep curls to look better, until I saw the big picture. what i mean is there is much better workouts then this if your only going for looks and looks alone - obviously you wont be as strong or fast This post has been edited by kikikilly: Aug 4 2008, 11:08 PM |

QUOTE(xy2610 @ Aug 5 2008, 12:01 AM) Bigger chest is always something that I'd like to have for 'show off' purposes since I started to do push up seriously years way back, LOL yeah i guess well,Could not afford gym membership back then. That's why I'll keep training my chest even though I'm doing crossfit. At this point, the most important thing for me while doing crossfit is 'how am i going to survive the next workout without stopping and puking in the end of it' hehehe I started to lift weight because I want to look better and stronger. Challenge did not come to my mind. That's why I was stuck with baby weights for ages, hehehe. Crossfit comes to my life because I want to look better and stronger plus it looks challenging. I want to be able to pull up 50 times in a row like people who have been doing crossfit for ages. Look is still my motivation to do crossfit and weights, hehehe Of course, I don't mind the strength, the endurance, and the agility that comes with it. Anyway, I took another day off today. Tomorrow, I'll get back to my chest routine (will test the rest-pause technique) for the main course and 'Griff' (Crossfit) for the dessert. anyways who em i to say what girls like or dont like..im hopeless when it comes to girls even tho they give me a 7/10 for looks - i think my personality stinks. Anyways ima start a topic on this what body type girls prefer..And pizzaboy i get it you win lol This post has been edited by kikikilly: Aug 5 2008, 12:32 AM |

Added on September 5, 2008, 10:21 pm QUOTE(darklight79 @ Aug 29 2008, 11:15 AM) If you're doing crossfit, forget about packing on much mass. You're only going to lose fat. There's nothing as effective as conventional bodybuilding routines for bulking up. Even if your goal is fitness, it still is not easy putting on pounds of lean body mass despite ubiquitous statements about not wanting to get too big. Some people just aint body builders i guess- if you are i salute you, but im not nor is XY2610 and a portion of crossfit community (who does it to just improve in overall health and state of mind).I do like a bit of mass tho(who dose not?).Not into the slim model look nor em i into the ronnie coleman / arnold look .I guess im after just being really really in shape (a jack of all trades and a master of none - running,swimming and weights) Dont excel in a particular one but all balanced out .If you don't have mass to begin with, there is nothing to sculpt, period. Think of it as trying to sculpt something out of he unformed rock, you need a lot of raw material in the first place to create a masterpiece. You get the idea. Yo! XY2610 hmm soo when do you usually take a break like a long break as in a week of? i like to take a break every 8 weeks.You seem like you could use one This post has been edited by kikikilly: Sep 7 2008, 03:04 PM |

Your boss rocks! also its great to have work that requires you to be fit and alot of off days haha lucky manI have too much annual leave and my boss does not allow me to accumulate too much. That's why I have this break. Otherwise, I'll keep on working, LOL! |

QUOTE(darklight79 @ Sep 10 2008, 04:49 AM) You don't have mass if that is you in your sig. =) And try making a post about crossfit on bb.com since you're such an advocate and tell me the response you get. All I'm saying is, crossfit is far from the optimal choice for packing on mass and xy2610 needs to pack on slabs of it. IF he has been doing crossfit all this while, his progress pics shows the ineffectiveness of that program for gaining decent weight. I'm sure with some major changes in his training regimen, it will be attainable. I dont have mass Wahhhhh! This post has been edited by kikikilly: Sep 18 2008, 02:02 AM |

QUOTE(pizzaboy @ Sep 18 2008, 09:53 AM) I couldn't be bothered about packing on huge mass either so don't worry about it kikikilly. (I've always thought your nickname was called "Kikilili") yeah i know maybe i should have just kept my mouth shut since we are all here just get fit and not brag who is fitter or what technique is best cause they all have there pros and cons.. good luck people!Try posting on crossfit.com and sherdog.net and rosstraining.com and fortified-iron.com and weightliftingexchange.com and gymnasticbodies.com and catalyst-athletics, (you get my flow right?) about bodybuilding and see the response you get. Every athlete you see, have their own goals and work towards that and not one athlete is wrong for wanting to be the best or better in his or her sport. And I don't see you or xy2610 being too curious about being a 95KG earth shaker. I do though...95KG, yeh! Optimal weight for 5'10" weightlifters. Added on September 19, 2008, 3:22 pm QUOTE(pizzaboy @ Sep 18 2008, 09:53 AM) your 95KG! pretty big size..im 80kg 5'11 optimal weight for navy SEAL wannabes lol This post has been edited by kikikilly: Sep 19 2008, 03:23 PM |
