Seven? Ouch.<br />
<br />
Can you send a link to that main site? -
Looked it up myself. Theres some insane shæt there. I think I'd like a piece of that!<br />
<br />
BTW what are burpee pullups?<br />
<br />
P.S. How ridiculously hot are the crossfit chicks. Mein gott. -
Instead of just jumping in the air during the burpee, you jump and do a pullup.<br />
<br />
There is a video in one of my posts for Funk Roberts - he does this mad set of exercises that crossfit nuts should find fairly easy I suppose. I'm just terrified enough to try it instead of weights one night. -

Thursday: chest and biceps<br />
<br />
Due to sick kid and open house i couldnt train until dinner time at one og those uber commercial gyms. Was farking packed with young punks and roiders but managed to get through most of the workout without much delay. Hate training during peak hour. This bicep workout is Awesome. -
Friday: back and triceps<br />
<br />
Back to base and a pretty damn good workout. Loving the deadlifts. <br />
<br /> -
Cheaty treat day.......<br />
<br />
Lamb curry, nachos. coconut icecream, choc chip cookies, skittles. <br />
<br />
Stuffed but was hungry as hell again a couple of hours later. This aint easy. -
Ha ha was it the treat day that got you Kirwan!!<br />
<br />
I'm also working on the diet - I bring my lunch to work now and try and steer away from pastries etc as snacks. Probably could work on portion control though! -
Good to hear fellas but for my part its all gone to hell the last 2 days. Got up early yesterday feeling ok but felt gradually worse on the way to the gym and the workout itself was a nightmare. Seems I've copped a stomach bug. Threw up and could barely eat a thing yesterday. Feeling a bit better today but no way I can train or stick to diet. Not a major setback but was really hoping to smash it this week.<br />
<br />
Bloody kids and their germ infested kindergartens. -
Wednesday<br />
<br />
First day back from illness and still feeling a wee bit vulnerable. PT agreed to not do crossfit but the workout was probably almost as intense. We foccussed on the arms and it was brutal but awesome. After almost 5 days of no training the pump was unbelievable (farking historic actually). Felt much better after the workout and super charged for more.<br />
<br />
Signed on for 6 more weeks. I can't get enough of this. -
Falling behind. Time to update.<br />
<br />
Ironically the day after the most recent entry I had an absolute shocker. The PT overdid it a tad and I was close to passing out. A ridiculous session that included me running around the block in 4 degrees and rain with the PT hanging off me with that rubber rope thing. Fark that nearly killed me. Was pretty stupid when considering I was still recovering from illness but what doesnt kill you etc...<br />
<br />
Boys trip to Berlin was most welcome after that. Only had one beer the first night but went ballistic at about midday the next day. Walked through a market and "sampled" almost everything I came across, then ate schnitzel with baked potatoes, followed by a sundae, followed by a pizza, followed by sorbet and all washed down with beautiful Bitbürger beer. Had another schnitzel for dinner and then a kebab later. Was a bit more restrained the next day but still plenty of beer. But that was more than enough and I couldnt wait to get back into the diet and train again. I was a bit disgusted with myself actually. Clearly I'm over that lifestyle which is a but sad but I guess I have no desire to destroy what I've gone through some serious agony and hurt to build up. My two mates smashed it the next day and on the plane back and probably could have gone on the whole week. Christ I've become a boring bugger.<br />
<br />
Back at gym on Tuesday with a good shoulder and calves day but the real test came with Psycho Terminator on Wednesday. She started me off with 30 burpees which set the tone for the rest of the session which primarily involved destroying my chest. Amazing what just a few days off the wagon can do to your fitness.<br />
<br />
Great guns session today. Will hopefully be back to my best next week. -
Friday - Back and tris<br />
<br />
Another excellent session. Really getting back into it now. I reckon the program is the perfect blend of exercises and high and low reps.<br />
<br />
Cheat day awaits. -
Saturday - Cheat day<br />
<br />
A good one this one: Large Burger King meal plus ice cream plus kitkat plus nachos plus bbq chips.<br />
<br />
Once again didnt feel too bad in the guts but tired. Would be so easy to carry on the entire day.<br />
<br />
Feel I'm starving much of the time now but I'm eating more than I ever have. The body is indeed a weird contraption. -
Lagging again...<br />
<br />
Monday- legs<br />
<br />
Due to new job i have to train before work which means getting my sorry årse out of bed at 5:30. Feel great once im there but it aint easy getting up when Its pitch black and minus 15 degrees. <br />
<br />
Anyway awesome leg day. Clinical if you will.
