Training Board is about…

Weightlifting, nutrition, paleolithic and "Zone" dieting, weight loss, my workouts, and reflections and reviews of various related topics that interest me. But mostly, I just use this blog to track my workouts.

If anything I have posted seems useful to you, let me know with a comment.

About Me

I'm a level I "sports performance certified" USAW coach, and I train, and work as an assistant coach at Asheville Strength and Conditioning, a great little gym here in Asheville, N.C.

I work with clients who want to get strong and fit, and specialize in helping older, detrained individuals reclaim their fitness and youthful athleticism.

Also, it should be said that I used to train with, and still love many of the folks down at CrossFit Asheville. A lot of the older portions of this blog deals with CrossFit and reflects my earlier fascination with CrossFit's "fitness as sport" model of training. I've learned a lot from CrossFit since I first discovered it, back in late 2008, even though my own training is now more focused on developing pure strength and capacity in the basic strength lifts.

CrossFit Asheville WODS • May 1, 2009, at 1:19 pm

"Tabata Something Else"

Today’s WOD at CrossFit Asheville:

Skills: Max Height Box-Jump; I tied my personal record at 37.5″

“Tabata Something Else”

Pull Ups, Push Ups, Sit Ups, Squats

Tabata protocol:
Work 20 seconds, Rest 10 seconds; do 8 intervals each for four different exercises, i.e. 32 total intervals. About 16 minutes (actually 15:50).

I don’t have the exact numbers here, but my total was 263 reps. Pull-Ups were hardest, with my final 5 rounds being only 3 reps each. I was able to get between 6 and 9 pushups per round, 9 and 11 sit ups, and 11-14 squats per round.

Health stuff: only about 4 hours sleep; no breakfast except water and coffee w/ milk. Weight in AM: 189.5.
