Crossfit Syosset/ Wednesday, April 19th

Workout:
A. 6 min EMOM
3 Power Cleans (building in weight)
B. 4 min EMOM
3 Front Squat (+5-10lbs from A)

Metcon:
“D.T.”
5 Rounds For Time
12 Deadlifts (155/105 lb)
9 Hang Power Cleans (155/105 lb)
6 Push Jerks (155/105 lb)
Scale with a weight that’s manageable to finish each round in around 2 min.
This shouldn’t be taking 15-20 minutes
10-12 is ok, under 10 is good. 7-8 is great.

If you are unsure of the weight you should be using for the Metcon, keep working your way up trying to feel what the right weight might be.
If you got a weight in your head already, it’s most likely wrong, you can go heavier.
If you’re saying something like this, “I’m thinking 105 lb. might be good for me but I”m not sure, let me see how I feel after I warm up but most likely I’ll do 105!”, that would work for me.
But, if you’re saying something like this, “Well, it’s a lot of reps so I probably can’t do a lot of weight. I might be able to do 65 lbs buttttt, I’m really not sure. Ya know what, being that the 15’s work well with the 15 lb bar, I’ll just do that, so 45lbs.”
The latter, not so much.
You can most likely do more weight or more reps than what you think you can. This is a big deal. If you keep thinking you can’t do a higher weight in any workout you’re never going to actually try it. You can’t go into a workout thinking “I can’t”! That’s fuckin nonsense, like retarded nonsense, as it would be in any situation.
You go into a workout thinking, “I’m going to go do as much weight as I can without sacrificing form and/or range of motion, and I’m gonna crush it.
If you’re sore one day, maybe you don’t crush it and decide to work on your movements for that day. Maybe one day you don’t feel up to working out, that’s when you use the group as motivation to crush it.
But, you never, never, ever go into a workout saying “I can’t”.
How can you even think that would be ok? Is this a recurring thing, does this happen when you get up to walk also? Do you get up and think, how am I going to walk, I just can’t? What happens when you start a new task or decide to take up a new sport? I hear pickle ball is winning over the hearts of many.
Do you say, I would love to play, but, I mean I just can’t?
Just like eating well, we don’t say I can’t eat well, we try to eat well and hopefully if everything works out and the stars align we drop a couple.

So, who made eating well a part of their lifestyle since the last time we spoke about it?
Is eating well still just something you do and fail at, or have you made eating well a priority just as brushing your teeth is a priority?
It’s simple, you just have to make a decision to eat well and that’s it!
You don’t need any dumb ass diet you see on T.V.. You don’t need any new way of eating, like eating through your nose or eating an all carb diet!
Someone actually said that to me once, that they eat only carbs to lose weight. Yeah man, shit’s crazy what they put out there. They’ll try anything to get people to believe them and sell shit.
Instead of just doing what works, meat and veggies, they come up with whatever they can to make us think this is the new holy grail of eating right!
It’s nuts, really nuts.
Just make that decision and stick to it. Stop the nonsense, year after year. Holiday after holiday, nothing will change until you make a decision to change it once and for all.
Don’t be like 99% of society and settle, make up your mind to be different and eat well.
You wanna be the person at work that everyone talks about because you never eat the cake, cookies, donuts or all the other shit bag foods people bring in to work.
How many times have you heard, “Oh you’re not gonna have a piece of cake?”. “Oh, you never eat anything bad, doesn’t that get boring?”
No! I’m not gonna have to piece of cake like everyone else does, and no, I’m not eating anything bad just because all this crap food is staring me in the face everyday.
“I don’t do it, so stop asking me”. That’s what you should be saying!!
Be different!

I heard this today… again. “I been doing no carbs strict for about two weeks now, I only had oatmeal one morning the first week, some fruit one day and then cashews one night, the second week.”
This was a quote, someone said this to me. Exactly like I wrote it, you believe that? I had a hard time myself. First, if this is what he’s saying his cheats were, they were probably a lot worse. It’s apparently difficult to remember what we eat when we’re eating the wrong foods.
I’m going to assume everyone reading this sees where the other problem lies. This don’t work. Ya can’t keep cheating here and there when you’re trying to get yourself off sugar and into ketosis, it don’t work like that. I cut this guy some slack cause he’s not a member and doesn’t have access to my email library, but not to much.
No carbs means no carbs for at least two weeks when your are getting started. You HAVE to be super strict for at least two weeks, maybe a little more, or else you’re not even going to give your body a chance to get into ketosis. It definitely works when you do it correctly. The problem is not many people ever make it past day 3 without cheating. Cheating means starting over from day one again, not just ignore the damage you did and hope for the best.
The nice weather is coming upon us, that means if you’re not already, you better get your ass in shape.
This is s a good way to get going.
Cut out all carbs for two weeks, see how you feel. If you feel like crap, eat carbs again.
If you feel great and maybe dropped some lbs, then continue with it.
Just don’t start and then cheat before you hit your two week mark, like this dude. You’re either in or you’re out!!

Crossfit Syosset/ Monday, April 10th

Workout:
Back Squat
10 x 10 @50-60%
With a partner. Your rest is when your partner is working, that’s it.

Metcon:
Row 1,000 meters
then …
21-15-9
Pull up
Burpee
Do not sit there and suffer through 21 pull ups taking breaks every 5 reps. Modify the movement so you’re able to
move through the workout without stopping. You’re much better off doing 21 pull ups with a band than you are pausing over and over.
