Why Do I need CrossFit Gloves?
Okay, I’ll admit that I’m someone who was never really a fan of something like CrossFit gloves as I felt it was better to simply take care of your hands with some best practices. Things like filing down calluses and using lotion on the hands after showering. Then again, no matter what you do, you still might need those gloves.
Anyway…today was a really good workout, minus the tear I had during the pull ups.
Here’s our workout for today:
3 rounds of 90 second AMRAPs (as many rounds as possible) of
3 thrusters
5 pull ups
6 minutes rest in between rounds
Managed to get 4/3+7 reps/ and tore my hand in the last round. It’s too bad cause my butterfly pull ups were flowing today.
I had to do a mod for the next 90 second AMRAP which was as many burpee box jumps as possible. I forgot they were burpee box jumps, so I accidentally did 21 normal box jumps and switched over to BBJ’s at the last minute to get 9 for the first round. Then after a 5 minute rest, I got 13 burpee box jumps. If only I had CrossFit gloves, then maybe I could’ve done the hang power cleans that were supposed to be in this workout.
As for my nutrition today, it was pretty straightforward.
8:00am: Wake up and coffee (stayed up late the night before)
11:30am: BCAA’s
12:00pm: CrossFit class
2:00pm: Protein shake, roast beef, eggs, banana, diet soda, and took my multi and fish oil supps
6:00pm: Dinner of fish, some chicken cutlet, bowl of greens, diet soda
12:00am: Plan to sleep
This morning, my weight was at 173 lbs, a 3.5 lb difference from yesterday. I’m glad to see the water weight quickly falling off as expected. Once I lose the water, I know the weight loss will get a lot slower.
