Santa’s Training and Nutrition

[Santa]

My money is on the CrossFit. It’s got you all pissed off at yourself. You’re at odds. Filled with self-hatred. You know it’s wrong but you’re also secretly enjoying it. It makes no sense and you feel giddy afterwards. Admit it, you’ve even joined the class and shared in the Rx Bars with cold brews at the tailgate of Tim’s Toyota. I bet you’ve left your headband and knee sleeves on a little to long after class secretly hoping someone would catch you.

Make peace with yourself @Santa. It’s ok to come out and admit you are a CrossFitter.

I appreciate the levity in your post. It’s welcomed.

Truth is. Ah, fuck it. I do love CrossFit. There I said it. Tomorrow I will climb a rope for the hell of it, because I’m amongst the fittest people on earth, and shout - ‘I love CrossFit’.

Now I’m going back to my shitty mood.

Gym was crowded so the order/timing of lifts felt all over the place. After 8 months here I may look into a new gym again.

Weight is steady around 213 but my look is changing since starting full body workouts (legs especially). It’s been a welcomed change, less bullshit volume, more focused, rest/recovery, etc.

Nice log, following but what is the CRossFit crap I'm hearing about?
Actually I don't mind crossfit that much as long as the XFitters don't take up too much space in the gym or constantly get in my way.

why

 

[Santa]

why

Only reason is spending time with my girl. She wanted to get back into CrossFit so I’m doing this 2x a week. It beats running 10-20 miles like we were doing.

Let me update my log.

Saturday - Rest day

I’ve noticed that too, some dudes treat leg extension and incline bench like it’s a La Z boy. I’ve seen a couple fuckers cross their one leg up on the other in between sets.

In fairness, I sorta do the same thing with the squat rack.

Incline I don’t notice because there are 3 fixed and 4 adjustable benches that I can use. Or even the smith machine.

When there are 1-2 leg extension machines in the gym, do your work and get the fuck up. I need to find an alternate exercise.
