Hanging leg raises are pretty good. I wouldn't think they would bother your back.

Forearm planks.

My wod was a “puker”. Lost my cookies.

2 rounds of this circuit for time:

21 pullups
21 burpee to box jumps
21 back squats
21 burpee to box jumps
21 pullups

Anytime these wods have a name, you know you’re in trouble, and this one was called the “21 Gun Salute”.

Got a buddy who's on a high after completing his first marathon, now all he wants to do is talk about it, lol. I get it, it's exciting, but I had to send him this after about the 400th email with running as the subject matter:

Got in the ring for the first time yesterday to spar one of our guys who has a pro fight coming up soon, definitely have to work on my cardio.. or at least pacing myself.

Judging by your name, I don't care if your cardio sucks....I ain't getting in that ring with you

Dudes.....(BURP).....I just ate a (BURP)....calzone. God, I'm miserable. This is why (BURP) once you go Paleo, you can't go back to the breads/starches. I'm going to use this garbage (BUUUUUURP) to power my deadlift this evening.

Vacation added 5lbs to me. All that seafood. Insanity starts this weekend.

Re: 2012 FITNESS CHALLENGE

I have no scale as i've been resorting to using my friends downstairs, granted it was the one at a grocery store and coming off a week of being kind of sick(which sucked cause I haven't been in a few months and just got into a workout routine) I've lost about albs in a week just by counting calories using an app on my iPhone.

Definetly to get a scale off amazon, for some reason I just can't find one at Target or Walmart

[Fresh Tendrils]

I got a cheap scale at Wal Mart. They're near the hardware with some home improvement type stuff. I was almost a year without one.

Its a blessing and a curse for me. It helps keep me honest and from getting away from where I want to be. On the flipside I put more stock into that than simply looking at myself in the mirror.

Re: 2012 FITNESS CHALLENGE

Yeah I like seeing a # just to know, but considering I like to weight lifting when I workout sometimes it's hard to tell if it goes up if it's just muscle.

Are guys are weighing yourself in the morning after taking a number 1 and 2? You'll drive yourself crazy if you don't.

Re: 2012 FITNESS CHALLENGE

In my last post I said how I had lost weight all the way down to 174, and somehow I let myself get down to 169 for about a week. I just didn't have it in me to eat a lot at that point.

But now I'm chugging along eating 4000 calories a day while lifting. I've been doing that for about 3 weeks now and while losing the weight was a slight setback, I'm already back up to 176 while surpassing all my previous lifting stats (which had hit a brick wall sometime during summer baseball). So really it seems to have been a blessing because it gave me time off of having to eat so much and now I have the drive to eat a lot again.

I am not sure what my goal weight is to get to by baseball season next spring, but I have 5-6 months until the season starts and I'm just working as hard as I can to get stronger, gain weight and also keep my speed with sprints.

I'll usually weigh myself two or three times a day. Once in the morning, once in the evening after dinner (yeah I know), and after I workout.

Surprisingly it doesn't fluctuate too much, but I'm already back to my pre-vacation weight.

One of the ladies in my office brought in local, homemade donuts. Must. Fight. Temptation.

A donut won't kill you. Eat up because you'll be training your *** off tonight anyways.
