Monday and Tuesday did not make anything look too promising this week. At least today slightly made up for them.
Monday:
Strength Training
No Crossfit
Max 1RM Deadleft: 365
- I tried 385 before this, got it off the ground but could not complete the lift. Had I tried again or just dropped 10 pounds it may have been successful. I just needed to get a number up there, nothing would be worse than expending all my energy then have to drop a bunch of weight off!
Tuesday
Max 1RM Shoulder Press: 125
- This is way lower than I would like it to be, by the new year I would like to see it at at least 145. Overhead movements are my greatest weakness though.
Grace: 5:42
- I chose Grace because I feel that it is comprised of a movement which I am not very skilled at yet. There is much room for improvement, and is a high weight, quick workout. (Contrast of Angie)
Instead of Strength Training Tuesday I played a high intensity game of dodgeball.
Wednesday
3x Crossfit Workouts
1 body weight deadlift (205) every 10 seconds for 10 minutes
- No Problems here, just some irritation from grinding my shins.
10 Over Head Squat
10 Burpee Box Jumps
AMRAP 15 minutes
- This one came down to a lack of strength on the OHS. It was one of the more painful workouts I have done in a while. I ended up doing 8 rounds completely.
TABATA: Air Squat, Push Up, Sit up, Donkey Kicks
- scored a 431 fatigue diminished quickly after. nothing to seriously note here... it just sucked
-Darren (roomie, workout buddy) scored 360 (?) on his first tabata effort :)
DIET:
So far I am feeling great, Monday and Tuesday felt sluggish. I really felt like a was going through a detox stage, but with how quickly I was able to recover from my 3 Crossfit workouts today, I feel like I am over that hump. I have been strict zoning since my binge drinking on Saturday night. I have noticed some shrinkage in my gut through the last week. I have bee feeling severely dehydrated all the time though. I have been drinking plenty of water. Hopefully I will start being able to keep hydrated.
So far, So good. I'll keep ya posted :)

Weekend....Ugh
Alright, so the weekend did not really go as expected. I overslept for my workout on Friday morning. I had to work the rest of the day Friday, so I just used that as a rest day. Saturday I am completely erasing from everything. Not only did I cheat on the diet, but it was Halloween and I am a college kid. Binge Drinking and irresponsibility ensued.
Sunday after work I did a strength training day. Nothing really to report.
I appologize to anyone reading..... all......one of you?
This week I will continue to update. Will have some Bench Marks up Tuesday.

Fatigue Sets In..
Day four of the zone: Complete!
So far, not bad. Have not experienced any detoxing effects. More on that later...
So, I realized after my last post, I never posted a link for people to follow any of my meals.
http://beyondthewhiteboard.com/members/7464
Here is my BTWB page, So far.. pretty boring, but I will be updating it regularly. As far as meals go, mine are from a poor college kids refrigerator.
Workouts:
Workouts thus far have been limited, not by time, but by fatigue.
Wednesday's workouts were both crossfit workouts; one with heavy dead lifts and wall balls and the other, Annie.
Thursday I started with Angie, and then did strength training.
I will be working my way up to consistently working out 3-4 times daily, but for now and for fear of over training I will be taking it slow.
I noticed during annie The limiting factor was trying to catch my breath between the erroneous double unders. With that being said, I did P.R. it by about 50 seconds.
Angie took alot out of me. I came 5 seconds behind my P.R.
That left me doing lighter weights for my strength training.
Diet:
So far it has been boring, but I feel well. As mentioned before, I have not started to feel any detox. I am trying to move away from such high sugar fruits like apples and tangerines, but they are cheap and they are convenient. I may have to settle for no substitution there. My meals are all relatively the same because, again, I am a poor college kid. I purchase my meats in bulk and cook them all up at once. I am limiting dairy to a few blocks a day to make sure I get my calcium requirements, but am not over doing it. Really, the only necessary time for anyone to check my beyond the whiteboard meals page will be if I specifically mention a meal in here. Otherwise it will be relatively similar to the rest.
Will be updating soon, maybe with some effects of detox.
I am taking the weekend easier, and limiting myself to one workout on two of the days and a rest day on one.
Tomorrow I will be one rep maxing the Shoulder Press.
Monday I will be one rep maxing dead lift
Tuesday I will either do Grace or Isabel.
Enjoy the weekend all!

2 days into the zone....
So.. I am two days into the zone, and into training.
Days are going to be a combination of both crossfit workouts and strength training workouts.
Strength Training is mainly to assist in my overhead movements. Focusing on shoulders, back, core, chest. Small focus on biceps, triceps and the like.
Workouts:
Morning:
25 Wall Balls
20 Box Jumps
15 Knees to Elbows
4 Rds.
Evening:
15 Push Press
25 Kb Swings
Night:
Strength Training
After my morning workout my legs were fatigued, but only briefly. They recovered shortly after the workout.
My afternoon workout left my shoulders and arms fatigued for an extended period of time. This was especially noticed during my night workout.
The night workout was just salt on the wound. Not a big factor in overall soreness and fatigue. We will see though, how it feels in the morning.
Diet:
So far it has been going well. I am already a little bored of broccoli and lettuce, but they are fillers. I am trying to find another source of fat blocks to substitute almonds. Not completely, but to get a broader spectrum of foods. I am constantly feeling hungry and dehydrated, but this may be due to it being the first few days of a diet. I did not eat enough blocks yesterday, but the amount has been bumped up today.
I felt drowzy and fatigued around 3:00 so I took a nap. Not sure as to why I felt this way, but it was not uncommon before the diet.
I will be implementing more cardio work into my regiment gradually to see the Zone's effects on it.
I am looking for some suggestions as to two bench mark workouts and two one rep max lifts to check against later during the diet. Anything will be considered and appreciated.
