FIRST DAY

One of my friends told me about this website that helps him out in planning workouts. That is one of my problems. Their basis is quick short workouts for maximum benefit. Here it is: www.crossfit.com

I looked at the workout videos and was highly impressed with their skills and capabilities. Looking at the workouts, I had to modify one to deal with the gym here at work. The date I chose was May 6th.

Plan was to:
Complete as many rounds as you can in twenty minutes of:
1. 35 pound barbell Thruster, 7 reps
2. Weighted pull-up, 50 lbs, 7 reps

During the exercise, I had to change the pull-ups to a seated row. I started out at 110# ,but may need to decrease the weight in order to get 7 reps. The barbells could probably be at 35 lbs for the barbell thruster as I didn't have much problems with that weight. This just goes to show how weak I am, I only completed 15 minutes.

Beginning weight: 184#
BMI is 28 which is considered overweight. http://www.healthmonitor.com/BMI.htm

The funny part about that is that I am supposed to be 160# in order to be considered normal and not overweight. Let's calculate that: 24# to lose. That is 13% of my body weight. So if I have 20% fat as determined by water weighing, I need to have only 7% body fat to get down to normal. Hmmmm. Can I do that? I going to give it my all.
