"Lil Barb"

Felt great to get back in the swing of things today. Both diet and workout wise. I read a great article by Machine about over training, and I am rethinking my approach in that regard. I think there are two limiting factors right now in my health and fitness. One is diet, which I'm on the right track I think to correcting (though I'm going to take down my protein blocks a bit) and the second one is recovery. I love to train but doing the two a days or the long sessions at the gym is likely hurting me not helping. I am going to continue what I'm doing until I get my body fat to where I want it to be which is likely 180# and then I will ratchet up the strength lifts and recovery and see how my body addapts.

Workout: Lil Barb
warmup: some weird Popeye ladder, but it was a great warmup
Tech: L-sits and leavers.
Workout out for time:
20 pullups
30 pushups
40 situps
50 squats
take a two minute break and repeat 3 times (normal barb is 5 rounds...not really sure why we did little today but I won't complain)
13:43
I continue to do chest ups for my pullups but it was weird people were asking my time and I felt the need to say what my time was and that I was doing chest-ups. As if I was justifying my slower than usual time. Really stupid. From now on the chest up is my standard for pullups and I won't add in that point to people...except on the board where I will mark it down. I hope if enough of us start doing them all the time that it will stick as the standard for the gym and crossfit. In my opinion if you can do 20 kipping pullups you should be doing chest ups. It just makes all the results on the board legit. We have all seen many pullups in the gym and on the videos where peoples chins are barely making it over the bar or not at all.
