Master Blaster Day!

The day started with a very hearty breakfast, which I'm sure will change once I get to Sicily and start operating. For lunch I had Lynne...she is tastey, but kinda sucks! I never bench so I felt like a pussy! Anyway, I took 27 mins to do it, I used 185#, and it looked like this...

Rnd 1: Bench 18 Pullups 23
Rnd 2: 14/18
Rnd 3: 15/22 (I rested a little longer before this one)
Rnd 4: 11/21
Rnd 5: 10/18
I know I can improve on that after doing it a few more times, no worries.

Then i went to starbucks and grabbed a tall americano, and read for a bit...6 pm, dinner time, and a WOD that I made up today...

4 rnds for time.
10 75# Push Press
10 75# Thrusters
50 24in Box Jumps
25 Burpees

This was a Master Blaster leg workout, much more then I expected. I finished in 26:24, which is respectable I guess considering I was really sore and tired, but can definetly be done faster. Try this one and let me know how you do!

My best friend and I are doing the 1st Annual Eact Coast Crossfit Challenge in Albany, NY the weekend of May 31st-June 1st. OPT was the 1st to sign up, so I think we all know who is gonna win! LOL. I'm just hoping for a top 20 finish! We will see. I encourage anyone who wants to come watch and learn about Crossfit to show up. Info and be found on the Albany Crossfit site. The link is on my page. Hope to see you there. Train smart, Train Intense!




One last note that kinda pisses me off. I was browsing through Men's Fitness magazine today and they had their 25 fittest people in there. It's obvious these guys have no real clue what "fit" means. Tiger Woods was #1! I mean, yeah he is probably in really good shape, but fitest? Doubt that. Others on the list were Obama, some rapper dude, and various other "not so fit" people! Missing from this list were all Crossfitters, Military Special Ops guys, and even hockey players (well I think Sindey Crosby was on the bottom under "fit for their age"). I mean come on, if you are the editor of a REAL fitness mag, people like Greg A. and Brendan G. should be on there. If OPT was American, he should probably top the list! And I know plenty of people in the Navy EOD field, or Army SF, or AF Pararescue that could out "fitness" over 3/4 of these dudes! So whatever, Men's Fitness has no clue! Just me venting!!!!
