Wuddup bretheren!
Did the MU/BS WOD this morning with some good subs for MUs, posted over there for all to enjoy. Welcome back Jacob!
Couple of things. One is the schedule. When I stick to the 3 on 1 off thing, I felt beat down, a little too beat down. I am thinking I'll more often do 2 on 1 off. Is this blasphemy? In the CrossFit community is this allowed for a 38 year old father of two with a desk job? I feel like I perform better this way.
Two is nutrition. Eating paleo really works. Are you guys doing it? I do it 85-90%. It really helps me feel good and have energy.
Three is the Paleolithic Solution podcast by Robb Wolf. Go check it out. You can download and install iTunes for free and download all of the podcasts free. There is some great stuff in there. Robb really emphasizes how important sleeping 8-9 hours a night is for overall wellness.
Fourth is holistic medicine/supplements. I've been back on "Nanogreens" lately, per Tornado's suggestion. It's like 10 servings of fruits and veggies, like deep sea greens and stuff you can't just eat normally. Also supposed to keep your pH up (an acidic pH is a happy place for cancer to thrive, we don't like cancer). I also take 2-3 TSPN of Carlson's fish oil a day as well as a multi, MoveFree, B12, and a probiotic. Also started monthly deep tissue massage (aaaahhhhhh) and last week started 1-2 times a month of chiropractic. I'm trying the Tornado's methods. I'll report back later. I want some time to pass. Apparently chiropractic has a lot of surprising benefits. It improves immunity, opens neural pathways, and lots of other crazy stuff.
L A T E R!!!
Rest day tomorrow. I go to church on Tuesday mornings @ 7. No alcohol tonight either!

Yo Fletcher. So the 3 on 1 off is not recommended, even by Crossfit headquarters. It is way too much of a work load for most everybody. You should also throw in a few more rest days every once in a while, like 3-5 days in a row. Eating your greens, paleo food, fish oil, massages, and chiropractic treatment is awesome. You are doing all the right things. That's the thing, you have to find out what will work best for you. 3-4 workouts a day 4-6 days x a week works well for Jacob, but he is part robot. But we are not all robots. Robb Wolf also talks about intermittent fasting, I've never tried it but heard it works.
ReplyDeleteMy 6 a.m. Wod
amrap 15 minutes of
5 anyway OH 155
10 push ups
15 back extension
Got 9 rounds, at 14:00 then stopped.
Also Ran a 5 k last night at 6p.m., felt good and fast, really trying to work on my running technique. Travis and I will be doing a wod together at 11. I will let you know what we get into.
3 on 1 off works for me, but it took about 18 months of occassionally debilitating soreness to get to were I am rarely so sore that it affects my day to day life. I agree on listening to the body.
ReplyDeleteOn the fasting note, I once went on a juice fast for 23 days about 9 years ago. It was crazy the posions that came out of my pores and body, it even felt like poision was being expelled through my teeth! Black shit literally came out of the pores on my arms. Lots and lots of DDT, chemicals, and PCBs in all the food and dirt and water in the world. I didn't even have a single pimple anywhere on my body or even a sniffle for 2 years after doing it. People told me I looked years younger. I've been thinking about doing it again, but I haven't been sick since I started zoning either, so I guess if it ain't broke...I do wonder about maybe just doing one of those clear the toxins type regiminds though.
I hear you Fletcher. I try to stay on the mainsite 3-1 schedule but typically end up with some extra rest days due to traveling. Seems to work for me.
ReplyDeleteBTW, I'm now hovering around 215#, up a bit from before.
Also did rowing Helen today, posted there.
