Did pullups yesterday as part of reverse jackie, and then did dead hangs today.
My hands hurt!

Been about a month
I am a bad friend, to any of you other fitness bloggers that are still reading this. To catch you guys up on some fitness shit that has happened to me in the past (almost) month. I have been super busy with trying to make some money, and my training has slipped a little but, still working hard. Here are some worthy notes for you (this is mostly for me)
-I have been tracking my Crossfit Workouts on Beyond the Whiteboard. Here is my profile http://beyondthewhiteboard.com/members/3745
- I am going to play rugby for the Village Lions in the fall, practice starts in like 3 weeks, and I am getting health insurance on August 1st…Hopefully I will also get money to pay for said health insurance.
- my 1rm bench is 285 (just shy of 300, coming soon to a gabrus near you)
- I did 5 Pullups with a 5lb weight added. (i never even did 5 strict pullups before)
-I pressed 190x2, I have been making a bunch of strength gains lately, I hope it continutes into the season, along with other fitness gains so I can kick some ass, actually more importantly so I don’t get my ass kicked.
- I now weight 233 lbs, and hopefully dropping even more
- I have been doing more and more swimming at the redhook pool 3 times this week!
- Going to add sprints of some sort to my regimen, get some speed going
- I am going to try and get my nutrition going and keep updating this

Bender
Not really. but I have drank beers/booze everyday for the last 6 days, and only hit crossfit twice. So this is a new bender for me. It’s been some work conflicts, some hangover conflicts, but mostly it’s my own fault.
I have to go strong, if I intend to play rugby in the fall, I need to be strong and fast. Also my stomach feels like garbage, which is a feeling I have not dealt with in a while.
I plan on trying to hit sat/sun/mon/tues for some WODs, and then take wed off, then hit it again for a few days. pushing real hard till 4th of july.
Ugh!
Been away again, I have been hitting some WODs at crossfit south brooklyn, but I have been super busy with other stuff. I know I am so tired of having excuses, trust me it hits double hard when it is for lack of posting, and for lack of staying on track with fitness goals.
Just for my own sake I am going to re-iterate some of them here
1. Bench 300 lbs
2. Deadlift 405 lbs
3. Get bodyweight to 225 lbs (at 240 now)
4. 10 strict pullups (goal 3 will help with this one)
I need to get my nutrition under wraps, though it is hard in the summer I enjoy drinking outside, and there is nothing I like more than eating while drunk. So if i dial it back a bit until 4th of july just get a couple solid weeks in there. I will be happy with myself.
