We'll, currently we can't afford gym fee's right now. But, just cause you can't pay, doesn't mean you can't workout. I really want to put on some muscle, but I haven't had time to get together a plan yet. Still in the research phase.
So instead, I'm just going to do some trusted CrossFit workouts. I'll try to keep what I'm doing posted.
SWOD
3 x 8 - 85lb Front Squat
WOD
Fran @ 85lbs
Time: 10:50
I'm pretty happy with this, last time I did Fran, about 2 1/2 months ago, I was in the 11 minute range with 65lbs on the bar and assisted pull ups. I'm doing unassisted pull ups and a lot more weight. 10 more pounds to Rx.

More food now!
Seriously, more food.
So I'm back after a few months. After a standard holiday season with more sweets and less working out than previous months. It took about a month to get back on track and here I am.
Right now my goals are shifting. I did CF as one does CF for a while, got in the best shape of my life and have learned something new... I want more muscle. So alas, I now turn to body building.
So far so good. I'm going on this basic idea, less crap food (sorry holidays), whole grains only, 3100 or so calories a day and about 150+ grams of protein a day. In about a month and a half I've been able to go from 148lbs to 161lbs. Not bad, sure there is some excess fat, but I can deal with that later, as is the nature of putting on weight.
My days are looking about like this right now:
5:15am - Steel cut oats with flax and brown sugar, Protein shake with milk
7am - Post workout shake
12pm - Normal Lunch
3-4pm - Veggies, Fruit, nuts, hummus
5pm - Protein shake
7pm - Normal Dinner
9pm - Protien shake
Right now, Friday night through Saturday night are my cheats. I'm also doing 5 days a week (M-F) at CrossFit Cosa Mesa, that is helping a ton.
I have noticed considerable increases in both weight, muscle (I'm guessing 50% of the weight gain is muscle) and strength. My 1RM Press went up from 80 to 102lbs in this time frame.
After Feb, I am taking a month or two off of CrossFit to work on strict body building. My goal is to be about 175lbs around 10% body fat. As much as I love CrossFit, it's not really a 'bulk up' kinda program. I think it will be key to getting down to 10% BF, but I'm going to try something new for bulking up. Should be fun.
Wish me luck, I'll keep results posted!
