Shot around and walked the garbage down to the end of the driveway. Thinking about where I want to go after the academy since I will have to restart all over again.
Powerlifting
Pros: Get strong
Showing up the young kids
Can be done generally at any gym minus PF
Decently short-moderate time for workouts
Cons: I will probably get too caught up in strength and get fat again
I've had the most injuries due to powerlifting
Meets, no money in it and I have no desire to do one
Movements in daily life will be shit
Can be boring
Bodybuilding
Pros: Get big and decently strong
Look good
balanced
Cons: Diet, I'm not disciplined enough to stick with one
No intentions of doing shows in thongs
No money in it
Be tempted to try a steroid again
Movements will be shit
Can be boring
Crossfit
Pros: My cholesterol and resting HR was was at amazing levels after I finished doing it
Hot girls
Cardio-vascular was through the roof
A lot of variety
Fun to do
Girls in short shorts
Booty Booty Booty all around
As long as I dont focus solely on metcons my strength will go up
Booty shorts
Will encourage me to hit a goal of being able to do a muscle up
I never had an injury during it
Cons: Timed WODs and such promote shitty form
Goofy exercises which i cringe when I see, ex. GHD sit ups
Greg Glassman is a douche bag
Dave Castro is also a douche bag
If I ever made it to the games they would probably hate me
Need quite a bit of equipment
They keep adding expensive equipment that isnt needed to the WODs just to make money. ex. Trueform runner
I'm sure there are more pros and cons to each but im exhausted and trying to stay awake. I am leaning towards crossfit since I want to stick with running also. I will make adjustments to my workouts to limit the goofy exercises chance of injuries.
I'm sure most will disagree but I feel if i keep with it I could at least get good enough to make it to regionals in the years to come and that seems more fun than going to a meet to do squat bench deadlift and go home
I forgot, I will explain the poor movements in the cons. It took me awhile just to learn to run again, playing basketball felt weird because i never had to move at different angles and sprint n jog and all that jazz. So if I do crossfit, other activities will feel better, more natural if that makes any sense
