November [censored] thread

[AZK]

November goals? I don't know keep doing what I'm doing... Last workout of Oct had me at 95 # standing press, 80 # dumbell press, 25# weighted pull ups (only sets of 3), 205# squat, 225# DL....

Continue Starting Strength. Start thinking about programming changes. break the 180 lb plateau in my bench and 110 lb in military press. Get under 20% bf (currently ~21.5% at 218). I'd like to make a squat and DL goal but I don't what kind of plateaus await me.

It'd be great if I could get my 1RM to 300 for my deadlift. Not sure how realistic that is.

BLECH I just threw out my whole tub of MetRx chocolate flavored, that stuff is so foul I can't drink it. It was super cheap at Trader Joe's and I thought I'd try it, what a waste.

yea i made the mistake of buying the same stuff..chocolate flavor and its horrific tasting even mixing it juice. The Aspartime also is way too intense for me and gives me a 2-3 hour buzz then a nasty headache. If I'm going to supplement with some protein powder I need a supplement without Aspartime(Phenylalanne).

Me too, they put that crap in everything these days and not always in small amounts. I've had to throw away a few products that had aspartame or I get the headachy thing too, sometimes also get spacey.

i let my zone diet log die because i won my weight loss bet and have been eating about 90% zone and it isn't too exciting to report on.

just got the second edition of starting strength and will be implementing it into my programming after i finish reading it completely and if it doesn't interfere with this:

i am starting a month long challenge with 2 other crossfit guys, both probably fitter than me but we all have our strengths and weaknesses.

it will involve doing the workout of the day off the main site and comparing times/loads/etc. scoring it 3, 2, 1 for points according to finish. most points for the month wins.
any non-modified wod beats anyone that is modified at all.

if there is any interest i will do a daily log of these events and the scores/weights that are getting done.

hopefully i will set some pr's in the process. later. J.

[SmileyEH]

J, sounds cool. Are you doing other stuff in addition to the WOD? I know you mentioned you do some LDS cardio in the morning. Any extra 5x5 type stuff?

Please let me know how it is. I have the first edition, do you? If so, would it be worth buying if I was going to buy practical programming anyway?
