Thanks to you and Hog on the Hill for the explanation.

I did some deadlifts yesterday but not a heavy load. It was just 135lbs, need more weight because it was light.

Take your time and ramp up slowly making DARN sure to use proper form. You can screw up your back and/or knees if you don't do them correctly.

I think you'll be pleased with how they seem to help everything else.

Finally felt like the knees were ready and made it back to bjj class tonight. Knees held up fine, and I wasn't as rusty from the two-week layoff as expected. It was also pretty cool that we had another visiting world champion from Brazil teaching classes this week. I'm feeling pretty lucky to have found such a cool, laid back gym with some seriously high end fighters who are so patient with us rookies.

Got in squats, bench, & overhead press before getting out and enjoying this gorgeous day on the river trail. MAN I hope we get weather like this for our big bike ride (and the A&M game) next weekend!

Got in chest, tris and finished off with abs. Met a very nice young lady while doing abs and we're going running and doing squats together tomorrow

had to ease up on legs/rear end the past two weeks. Go lighter. I somehow managed to bruise my fricking tail bone. Let me tell you.....you don't realize how much a bruised tail bone affects everything you do.

I've bruised more than a few tailbones in my day. How does it feel?

Unfortunately mine came by way of sheer stupidity. Alcohol may have helped, too. I was pretty much obliterated ( home made sangria. holy shite ) Went to the bathroom and slipped on the tile. Back side hit the tub. Didn't feel anything until the next day.

Got in deadlifts and pull-ups this morning. I was supposed to wake up early and ride the Big Dam Bridge 100, but I haven't ridden in a few months, so slept in and lifted instead.

The ride went great! We had over 2,700 riders, the weather cooperated, and our new partnership with the Capital Hotel worked out phenomenally well. Some of the fast local riders were hoping for a sub-4 hour 100 mile ride (despite having to ride over Wye Mountain). They convinced our celebrity rider, George Hincapie, to help them, and they just BARELY missed it, coming in at 4:03. Hincapie could've done it easily but sat up and waited on the locals after dropping them while climbing Wye Mountain. It made for a fun day!

CrossFit’s dirty little secret
quote:

So what is rhabdomyolysis exactly? Under extreme conditions your muscles cells explode. They die. They leach protein out into the blood stream, including one form called myoglobin. Ever stalwart, your kidneys take up the job of clearing these dangerous proteins from the blood. Why? It’s just what they do. Unfortunately, myoglobin proteins aren’t designed to be in the blood in the first place and they can easily overload the kidney. This can produce injury or death to all or part of the kidney in a short amount of time, and is potentially lethal. Locally, the muscles are left damaged and dying. Swelling ensues and weakness occurs as pressure builds around the remaining muscle cells. Your body’s systems that normally can assist with this local muscle damage are now offline trying to help you not die. If you get to this stage, you’re in serious trouble.

Had rhabdo my junior year of high school. First day of baseball practice was moved indoors due to rain. We did drills then ran bleachers. By the next morning, I was pissing dr. pepper and couldn't move my legs for shite without severe pain. Spent a week in the hospital on a saline drip. Not fun.

Gained 8 pounds and increased my bench by 30lbs in the last 4 weeks. Seeing gains all over the place, diet is everything.

I weighed myself the morning of and weighed myself yesterday the morning of. That was 4 weeks, I eat roughly 6 times a day and its clean food so I know I am not just gaining fat. I assume I will slow down now in the gaining weight phase. I was little to begin with

I weighed in this morning to see an extra 2 lbs. It is definitely NOT muscle this time, though. The little pudge i'm sporting while sitting down right now confirms.


Football season kills me every year.

Good job on eating clean.

Me too I've really been speeding up my metabolism lately by eating these meals which is nice. First week I was miserably full and it sucked. Now I'll eat a huge meal and be hungry an hour - hour and a half later. Which is good for me because I am trying to take in 2600 -3000 calories a day. I am going to turn into a chicken,tuna and brown rice soon
