The Fitness Experiment

Right now I’m trying to focus mostly on strength to get some of what I lost back. So far so good in regards to how I feel. I can’t wait til the weight increases and I gain some mass back. I’m just doing metcons to be doing them, not pushing to hard or doing RX weight on most.

• Back squat: 3x3 (240#)
• Bench press: 3x3 (170#)
• Weighted pullups (dead-hang w/ 20# vest): 3 sets max pullups - 5,5,4.

Did some strength training and one of the “girls” of Crossfit—Jackie.

Worked on bench and back squat for strength; 3x5 training. Then the metcon for the day was Jackie which consists of a 1000m row, 50 thrusters @ 45#, and 30 pullups.

Time: 13min 40sec

I finished rowing around 4 min and 20-something sec. Not sure where the other 9 minutes came from haha. I felt pretty good on my pullups but there was too much resting going on. Next time I do this WOD I feel a huge drop in time coming as I am still trying to get myself back into regular training.
