Straps are good particularly as we always recommend double overhand which gets tough at heavier loads.

Looking strong!

A. 300# sets 3-5 tng
B. 35# DB (light)
C. 50# (also light, new movement for me)
D. 245# Kept tension through the bottom and got rid of the elasticity often taken advantage of there. Instead, I descended to just below parallel and could feel my glutes actually being used to drive from there. This was great!
Primary Conditioning: Done, scaled. Bike and rower together were not pleasant. scaled to AMRAP 45 sec bike AND rower and lost my piece of chalk to keep track of my score. Ouch.

Making up thursday tomorrow
Thanks

Does anyone have any good or bad experience with intermittent fasting on this program?? Just wondering

For weight loss and general well being it works well but I haven’t seen benefits for a performance athlete on a high volume program. There just isn’t enough time to eat enough calories and replenish glycogen stores when your limiting yourself to an 8-10 hour window.

So I am currently about 4 weeks into fasting 16 hrs with a 8 hr eating window. I am down 12 lbs to 223. I’m trying to improve on all around without any CND, strength, gymnastic goals. I do CND in the morning and remaining in afternoon. I have seen some tremendous improvement over the past few months but I also am really new to focused CrossFit and have never gone to an affiliate gym so the results may be a combination of mental and just focused intensity…. still I’m going to keep posting now that I can at least… Read more »

I personally do not see the benefits of forcively restricting calories in a window of time. If that is your preference in terms of your schedule, and it works for you, as lg as overall intake is meeting your requirements for your goals and your recovery. However, I do not think it’s necessary and find that for optimizing performance, going into workouts that are primarily glycolitic can put unnecessary stress on the body. I think it is good to incorporate some fasted cardio (lower intensity) to help your body utilize fat for fuel more appropriately, but this sport is not… Read more »

Thank you that is what I was wondering as far as performance!! Getting caloric intake is nowhere close to a problem for me at this time but I am worried about overall stress on the body. I am looking to lose some weight though because 235 was a little heavy for gymnastics for me. I am just interested in if all the IF hype is real

Do you train early AM and thinking of going into training fasted to get going sooner? I’ve had similar thoughts, especially as I need to drop +10lbs. I haven’t done it yet, except the day of the 5km Row. I think I would add some intra-workout carbs though especially on lifting days.

Let me know if you do this and your thoughts @tino Marini
