Crossfit in 100 words

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch, and no sugar. Keep intake levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: deadlift, clean, squat, presses, c&j, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc..hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports

Rest day

I had to work last night. The plan was to hit the 8am open gym at Redline. However, I fell asleep and ended up waking up at 10am. So this will be my rest day this week, along with this past Wednesday. I'm also working tonight 6pm-6:30am. I'm planning on doing a body weight workout from the WOD book. Unless someone has a better workout idea that can be done with dumbbells, jump rope, pull up bar, and a track....or any combination. As far as tonight is concerned I have some chicken breasts, steak with some macaroni, pineapple and blue berries. I also have some protien on board for tonight. I don't have the exact numbers but I'll see if I can post the nutrition facts tomorrow.
     
       On a side note. I'm reading "The Talent Code" by Daniel Coyle. And yes it was of course recommended by coaching superstar Anthony Disarro. It's a fantastic book. I would recommended it to anyone interested in improving in anything in life.

       "It's not about recognizing talent, whatever that is. I've never tried to go out and find someone who's talented. First you work on fundamentals, and pretty soon you find out where things are going. - Robert Labdsdorp, tennis coach of former world number one players Pete Sampras, Tracey Austin, and Lindsey Davenport, all of whom grew up within a few miles of eachother"
