I'm Back Bitches!

March 23, 2010

Well heres a summary of all that has taken place since my last entry. I went on a trip. The gym sucked, all I did was run. I got good at running. I could run for an hour straight at a 10 minute a mile pace for 6 miles. I could burn 1000 calories without stoppping. I lost weight but loss muscle mass as well. I gained endurance. I was excited to come home and rock out the crossfit gym because given my new found endurance and the fact that I had kept a lot of weight off I couldnt wait to start back in on crossfit and bulk on the muscle. Day #2 back in the crossfit gym, deadlifts, 7 reps, max weight. Rep #7 330-370'ish I fuck up my back in the worst way possible and I'm down for 4 months without a single workout. Month #4, I couldnt stand from a sitting possition with having to wait a minute for my back to stretch out. I gained 20-30 pounds. It's been 6 months since the inury and just now I'm FINALLY back in the gym on a consistant basis. I have yet to be able to start back into traditional crossfit workouts for fear that my back (which is still very weak and obviously still needing much more time to heal) will get reinjured. However, I have been running. I have fought to get my weight down from 227ish to the 219lbs that it is today. My weight for some reason, despite several gains in the gym, has held steady at 219.5-223lbs for about 2 weeks. Today I ran 4.5 miles in 45 minutes flat and burned 797 calories before the cool down. I hope the continued stretching to heal the back, the continued running to lose weight and the slowly but surely lifting of weights will get me back to the point where I'm 100% healed for the crossfit gym in several weeks time. Bottom line, fuck deadlifts, I was down but I'm certainly not out.
