Crossfit Syosset/ Friday, June 16th: 65 Degrees with possible Showers

Let’s talk Nutrition for a second.   There’s seems to be a road block in people’s brains regarding the amount of food you need to eat to lose weight.  A lot, You can’t eat a little bit of food and expect to lose weight.
Starving yourself will only force your body to Slowwwwwwwww down to retain the Fat that’s hanging off of itself.
You need to start eating clean foods every 2 and a half hours, by clean foods I mean Protein, Carbs and Fat every meal.
Not a Banana for breakfast and a cashew for lunch and then a little bit of lettuce for dinner, this won’t work.

Listen to me, I’m not lying to you.
Give it a shot for a month and see what happens.
When you start to eat very often if you are not used to it it may be difficult to get all the food down, don’t give up once your body gets used to eating that often you will start to crave food every two and a half hours.
Also don’t get upset if you gain a little bit of weight the first week or so, remember your body is still moving slowly until you speed it up by eating often so until that happens you may add a few lbs but once you start to skyrocket your metabolism you’ll drop weight quicker than I can eat an ice cream sandwich!

Crossfit Syosset/ Thursday, June 15th

So there wasn’t much of a showing yesterday for the rowing wod which tells me that some of you are still under the impression that if the workout isn’t long and involving weights its not good.
Let me remind you of the power of INTENSITY!
Please stop thinking that too lose Fat you need to eat nothing and workout for 2 hours at a time.
Listen to me, Listen to me good.
You need to eat a lot of food to lose Fat and you need to workout with High Intensity to Burn Fat and Build muscle.
Now I Know it’s hard to believe cause for years you have been reading the opposite but I’m telling you that is the wrong way and what I”m telling you is the right way.
Just ask the people in the gym that eat a shit load of food and lift heavy and fast.

Crossfit Syosset/ Friday, June 9th

So Today is the 3rd day of the 20 Rep Squat program.  If you are doing them correctly you will see that they are no joke, by time you get to the 12th, 13th rep you’re shot.  Staying tight is super important or you will get hurt.
Some people have made mention of being super sore after doing them.  So if you are one of the peoples that are really doing them to your potential and lifting a lot of weight while increasing the weight each time I would make some changes to the Met Cons.

For instance if there is a lot of leg work in the met con maybe switch it to a non leg movement of just a shorter range of motion.  An example would be instead of Wall Ball do Push press
The Squat program is important so don’t let the metcons get in the way until it’s over.

Skill:
20 Rep Squat
increase weight to +5 lbs From Wednesdays weight if you completed all 2o reps.  If not then do the same weight as Wednesday.  At some point this will happen anyway you won’t be able to keep raising it every time you Squat.

Crossfit Syosset/ Wednesday, June 7th

Skill:

Back Squat
20 Reps + 5lbs From last week, If you completed all 2o Squats last week without putting the bar back on the rack before 2o reps.  Which I’m sure you all did being that it was the first week of the program.

Again, make sure you stay tight for all 20 reps.  don’t make the mistake of performing any squats without keeping your core tight it’s easy to get hurt during these 20 reps at the end when you’re exhausted.
Try and focus on Stopping at the top of each rep, taking a deep breathe in and tightening your core.  If you do it for each rep you will be used to it and remember to do it all the time for every movement.

You should be trying to do this (keeping your core tight) when you do anything strenuous even outside of the gym.  When you lift your kids, when you get out of your car, when you do anything at home try and remember to do this.  You will save yourself from a lot of Back Pain and possible future perpetual back pain.

Workout:

50 Wall Balls 20/14

Crossfit Syosset/ Monday, June 5th

Skill

Back Squat
20 Reps @55%
These 20 reps are performed in a row without returning the bar to the rack.  You may rest but the bar has to stay on your back.  If you cannot complete the 20 reps in a row you must try the same weight the next time we do this (which for us will be Wednesday).
At the top of each rep you should pause and take a deep Breath in and tighten up your core and body as much as you can.
Every session we Back Squat you will try and add 5 lbs to your original weight which was 55%.
We will be completing these sessions every Monday , Wednesday, and Friday.
Yes!  We’ll be squatting 3 times a week.  If you don’t have an Ass, don’t worry After 6 weeks you will have one!

Good Luck and make sure you stay tight!
