You are plenty strong enough for pistols Mobility may get you until you get the technique. They are tough for me


Today’s was grippy. My forearms were screaming

That doesn't sound good for mine. May have to rethink Rx. Really not a fan of A and B having similar stuff.

Oh. A is no fun.

B is light so it is not too bad.

Did a quick bicep routine and then jumped on Cindy..

15+6 Rx.

A few rounds down from where I was a few months ago, but I crushed a chest and shoulder routine over the last few days and my shoulders were screaming at me from the get-go.

10+5. Feeling like shite. My low arse macros suck. Light headed, seeing spots and shite from minute 7 on. Amber is suggesting my cals are way too low and I need to do RP, but she says I need to eat 2700 cals.. which I am pretty sure I'll gain weight on. I may give it an earnest try just because I haven't done RP yet. But I'm gonna be pissed if I just put on more weight because she was pretty rude and dismissive when I talked to her about it (which surprised me a lot).

You’re a big guy, Hulk, and your BMR is probably > 2,700, especially with you doing CF workouts every day.

As long as your macros are in order, and you keep up the work, you will lose the bad weight. My thoughts are that if you are gaining down the line, it’s probably muscle, not fat.

You should monitor your basic measurements: Waist, Chest, Hips, Thighs and Upper Arms and don’t rely strictly on the scale because it can be misleading,

I measure all of that monthly. I know my TDEE is around 2500 right now; I've been at this a very long time, unfortunately. I track everything very closely and I have a gigantic spreadsheet that's probably borderline obsessive. I told her I have thyroid issues but she didn't seem to care. I take 175mcg of levothyroxine, which is a high dose, but my endocrinologist is still trying to figure it out.

Man, sorry about the thyroid issue.

How about get a little PWO in on days before workouts when you’re dragging arse? They added some in the vending machine, but I have some you can get from me whenever I see you again.

Don’t forget Amber was there from 5:00am to 6:30pm today. That would turn anyone into a grouch.

I've tried a myriad of PWOs. I get extra lightheaded and dizzy when I take a pwo, especially so before a CrossFit WOD. I don't know if my heart rate skyrockets or blood pressure or what, but it gets really bad. Half a monster seems to be okay.

I can push through low energy but when I start getting lightheaded, dizzy, and seeing stars I have to slow down

I have another which could help. It’s a low dose carb source that you take an hour before you workout.

No caffeine.

If your programming is good, then keep your diet basic and you'll see results. dont worry about what amber says. Even if its temporary. 3 months or so. Lean protein, leafy veggies, occasional rice or sweet potato.


A lot of time gym leaders think they know everything, but they've always been in shape and simply cannot relate to people who struggle with food addiction. It's easy to throw out a calorie number, but that is lazy. You really need to do the work yourself. Find that medium

I can tell you are all-in by your posts. WIth your size you need to be seeing results. Like Alum said, inches should be tracked. You need to be seeing results at your size. Eat to fuel, not to pleasure.

After much thought I've realized that she's probably right to some degree, but I still don't agree with 2700 for me. At least about not eating enough on the plan I just started. I'm considering another round of whole30 or something similar. Don't track for a while, but be very mindful of what I'm eating and do weigh out portions to make sure I'm not just feeding my bad relationship with food. Stop overthinking things.

The proof is there, I have felt like total dogshit since I started this new cut Tuesday, just low arse calories.

Also, to be fair to her, this wasn't a sit-down, work everything out kind of conversation. It was immediately post WOD and I asked her why she thinks I get light-headed and practically blacking out during a lot of WODs, and it spun off into something neither one of us really probably thought it would.

Hulk, if you’re trying to cut, you will feel like arse trying to hit Crossfit workouts. I’d recommend a good fuel source heading into a workout if you continue to go through this cutting cycle.

Signed up for Invictus Weightlifting run by Jared Enderton.

$105 for 3 months on the 3 day/week Oly programming. I’ve done 5 before but it tore my body up with the volume.

Free video reviews during the 3 month period.

Cool. Hopefully it goes well for you. I would love to get into some programming like that. Even that 3 day volume would kill me. I’d have to lay off of the regular Crossfit stuff a bit.

Hit up an AM WOD since I've got an appointment this evening.

Elizabeth
21-15-9
Power clean (135/95)
Ring dips

I scaled to 85lb and hand release knee push-ups (which was the scale for the scaled ring dips ). 6:33.

Also, my WOD felt great. No lightheadedness or almost blacking out. I stopped tracking and just ate real food and avoided grains this weekend. I am going to continue this and weigh myself less often, every 2 weeks, and just focus on training and feeling good during said training.
