About Training Board

My name is Matt Baldwin and in this blog I record my fitness and workout routines, and I discuss diet and weight loss techniques. I also publish reflections or reviews of various fitness and nutrition related topics that interest me.

I am into CrossFit and I work out with the crew at CrossFit Asheville here in Asheville, NC.

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

A Little Jeremy

Two weeks out from major surgery on my leg, I do some ring dips and pull-ups, and then a modified “little Jeremy.” The focus for me right now is on rehab, not aggressive progress in training. But I was feeling the aggression today anyway! Nice.

At the Seams

Today was all about being there, while everything else seemed to be falling apart at the seams, I made it to the gym and worked out. My time didn’t matter. What mattered was that I was doing 42 pull-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 45 push-ups as fast as I could.

Heartbeat (Back to the Gym)

One week ago, I had surgery. Dr. Frisch, of Mission Trauma (Blue Ridge Bone and Joint), removed the titanium nail and two distal screws from my right tibia. Today, I returned to the gym. The body is amazing!
