The Results Are In

Ok so I have been just terrible posting all my workouts, but I did complete my 8 weeks of crossfit training.  I have recording all of my after measurements and assessments and ready to report them.  This post will just have the numbers.  My next post will focus more on my final thoughts.

So decent numbers.  In terms of body comp I lost 5.4lbs of fat and gained 1.6lbs of muscle.  I definitely felt more lean.  Felt a little smaller than I like to but not too bad.  I was a little disappointed with some  of the strength and endurance measurements.  I just felt run down during the testing.  Normally I get really pumped to do 1RM testing.  This day I just wanted it to be over.  I think I was borderline overtraining with how hard I had been going with this program.  It was pretty much never a down time. 

I am currently taking 2 weeks to recover and work on mobility.  I will be posting some of those routines as well.  I was originally going to do P90X next but I honestly just don't think it is a good program and can't motivate myself to do it.  Instead I think I might put one of the biggest fitness myths to the test.  I will do basically the same program twice.  Once with lighter loads and higher reps and the other higher loads and less reps.  It should be fun to see what happens.
