I took a week off from CrossFit cause I was tired and sore and disgusted with my performance.
I was consistently at the bottom of the list in every WOD.
So I came back to the Box today to see if the week off helped.
Push Press Max Reps at 60% of Training Max.
Then a 5 min AMRAP with 6 Burpees and 6 Thrusters at 135#.
1 minute rest...
Then another 5 min AMRAP with 6 Deficit Pushups and 6 Push Presses at 135#.
Once again I was at the bottom of the list with 2 Rounds + 4 reps on AMRAP #1
And 2 Rounds + 5 reps on AMRAP #2.
I just wasn't strong enough to do the reps on the Thrusters and Push Presses.
So afterwards I sat down with the Zia CrossFit owner, BJ Monger, and told him what I was eating, what I was taking for supplements, how much I was sleeping, etc.
And in a nutshell, he said I was taking in plenty of protein, the supplements were good but try eating more carbs, more fat and drink more water. More energy.... Better recovery.
So I came home and worked up 4 open faced sandwiches with grilled Focaccia bread coated with honey mustard with the following proteins:
2 with Sweet Basil Pesto Chicken Sausage topped with soft boiled egg
1 with Ground Turkey Breast patty topped with soft boiled egg
1 with Pork Loin
Sided with 1 small baked sweet potato and a Spring Mix Salad and a Black Toad Dark Ale.
This is a lot of great tasting and nutritious food....
BJ asked me what my goals were....
I told him.....
Everything....
A balance of Strength, Agility, Endurance, Flexibility....
And I wanted to be Big, Lean and Muscular.
Now.....
Let's get back to work.
