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

Weight this morning post workout: around 284

Bench
135x10
185x5(slow tempo, 5-2-2)
205x5.............
225x5.............
235x5.............
then worked my way back down

tricep extensions, 3 sets of a vbar and 3 single handed sets

Forrest Gump Run
Time: 1 Hour
Pace: idk it felt the same as when im on a treadmill doing 5mph though
Feeling: my breathing never got heavy, i was focusing on breathing into my stomach instead of my chest so my trapz and upper body in general could relax and i could breathe easier.  My right hip was acting up because of all the turning, but other then that i was just sweating a lot.  I did a straight 30 minutes but started to cramp so every 10 minutes after that i stopped for 10 seconds or so to take a drink of powerade, i ran an extra minute to make up for the time i spent stopped.

ima go drink my coffee and take a long ass bath and wait for UPS

11:00 workout

Cleans:
75x20
95x20
135x20

135lb farmers carry 1 trip(1056-1100 feet)

I had more planned but it took me forever to do the farmers carries, my hands were raw since the knurling on the trap bar handles are so rough.

setting everything up, doing it and putting everything away was an hr so probably took me 30-40 minutes to do the workout.


I broke the farmers carry up to 20 seconds on then whatever rest i did, that was showing to be too slow so i upped it to 30 seconds on.  On the way back i said fuck the time and just went for it, only had to drop the bar two or three times on the way back

ill check it tonight, didnt bother this morning because i had a protein shake and ive been drinking a lot of water but knowing how my body works its probably around 285-287 on a good day.

since my body is pretty much beaten up 24/7 im doing 1 movement for my gym workouts this last week so i can recover a bit

Today was lat pulldown
tomorrow is bench with a slow tempo
wednesday is rest from weights maybe idk
thursday oh press
friday once i get done running around finishing up everything i might just do a circuit with machines

 on those days will be running and bw stuff, wall balls etc etc

yeah i set the bar up on the squat rack and do them like that.

A lot of people say they lose 30lbs or so during the academy considering they control our food and all of the bw and running we do so itll be good for me and hopefully when im done I wont have to do fat man pullups anymore haha

The treadmills were used up and wasnt really feeling like trying to keep count for 45 laps so I decided to just do a 30 minute run, figured thatd be around 2.5-3 miles for my pace
