  2. PVC, Empty bar, 135# - what ever you can do.

  3. 1. Done at 30"

    2. 225#, stopped after 2nd set. Felt something at groin area after split jerk.

    3. Stopped after 1 round. Groin bothersome. Just did 12 TTB OTM every 2 minutes thereafter.

    4. Skipped.

  4. 1 - didn't have a measuring tape but it was like mid-thigh. Also only used one bar and went back and forth twice.

    2 - stayed at 185 because something felt "pinchy" behind my right scap and I couldn't work it loose.

    3 - 13:13 - damn T2B fell apart fast and really slowed me down.

    4 - maybe later when I'm grilling dinner

  5. Uh oh! Better rest that! Get well.

    1) 38" tng, last round was 40" but not tng

    2) nothing heavy overhead so I did squat cleans from the blocks - 275x5

    3) 6:49 - ttb will be the death of me

    1. 6:49?! Seriously? I never cease to be amazed by you animals.

    2. Dang... me too. Absolutely astounding.

    3. I think it was 6:49. I started when the clock was at 3 mins and I think I finished at 9:49 (it was either that or 12:49). I finished the first two round in 2:30 (1:15 split) and kept that pace throughout. All of the thrusters unbroken ('cept rnds 3and4 - 10/5 and 8/7), all box jumps tng (games), and first two round of ttb unbroken. The rest were sets of 10/5, 8/7, and 6/6/3.

    4. One of these days I'll clear some space on my phone and video. just gotta remember to do that.

    5. Come to think of it I think I was doing 15 reps of ttb. Whoops.

  6. 1. Lateral Bj 30"
    2. 235#, These were really frustrating. Struggled getting under the power clean @ 245#. Found these a lot harder than normal hang power cleans.
    3. 8:49 Rx
    4. 4 rnds with 45# barbell

  7. 1. Will post later

    2. 185, 195, 205, 215(PR), 225(PR)
    From the floor.

    3. 9:30

    This sucked! I hate thrusters. I was lacking energy no doubt about it, working out fasted may not be the best for CrossFit but it's what I've been doing for almost a year.


    4. Did 3 sets I was so burned out, 1 min rest took 2 mins per set.
    20 Subbed 65, 65, 75
    10 Subbed bar rows
    5 Sotts Presses 65, 65, 75

    1. Hey Kyle, have you noticed any significant improvements/changes with fasted workouts? Any changes in performance or body composition? I recently started doing them as well (November), too soon to notice any changes for myself.

    2. I usually finish eating my last meal of the day at like 8:30-9 PM and I wake up at like 4:45-5:00 AM and drink about 12 ounces of water with a packet of Emergen-C with a multivitamin and fish oil pills. I then drink almost a full travel cup sized coffee before/during my warm-up and I'm ready to move weight by 5:30. I never have issues with feeling hungry. Sometimes I feel a little lack of energy during a met-con, but my met-con also sucks, so take that with a grain of salt.

      I've actually put on about 4-5 pounds in the 6-8 weeks that I've been following the programming, but that's probably because I eat like crazy during the day.

      Delete
    3. No amount of eating the night before really helps, but I often feel the same hunger. I've started taking shots of raw honey when I'm heading to the gym at 445am. and then a few more after. that helps.

    4. Woops, those were squat cleans I did.

      The lateral jumps were close to 30 inches, but the box jumps turned out to be 22'' :(

      Britt, I friggin' love fasting, this coming from a "bodybuilder" who use to eat 6 meals a day like clockwork for 6 years without skipping a beat.

      As for performance and energy, I'm always an 8-9 out of 10. I eat last meal around 8-10pm and workout around 7-9am, so roughly 12 hours fasted. Whereas my energy would be hit or miss eating pre-WOD.

      It's amazing for body composition because you can eat on a calorie deficit and not feel like you're limiting yourself. When I first started this way of eating almost a year ago I'd fast from 8pm, workout in the morning and not eat until noon+ so it would be 16-18 hour fasts with one giant (lasting an hour-2) meals or 2 meals. only recently I'm been eating 3 because I'm more focused on performance.

      Also, less dishes and thinking going into meals.
