[Fiddleman 4,376]

The purpose of this thread is to capture your daily workouts to share with others over time. It is not meant to be a challenge thread;rather, it will become a valuable resource to others over time to find workouts that will work for them based on many different dimensions of compatibility (gee, sounds like e harmony. Lol).

I hope the thread lives for a long time.

In order for others to gauge what is possible and how it might apply to the, please include the following information:

Starting weight: your initial weight, before surgery.

Current Weight: your current weight

Height: your height

WLS status: how far out are you? Are you in loss phase or maintenance phase?

Description: include whatever information you want to describe the workout

Pre workout meal: what did you set before the workout

Post workout meal: what did you eat after the workout

Notes: personal opinions, rants, questions, etc

Water: how much Water are you drinking?

Supplementation: a what additional supplements are you taking to help with work out

Diet type: the type of diet you are on. For example - post op, zone, paleo, 5:2

Protein: how much Protein are you taking daily?

Row (calories)

Rest 1 min

Rotate immediately to the next station every 1 min, the clock does not stop or reset between stations.

Notes: This is my first "fight gone bad" workout. I want to try and hit 300 reps. Some say it is one of the hardest crossfit WOD. We shall see about that.

Pre workout meal: 1/2 cup cooked steel oats with 2 scoop of Protein powder (50 g). Might reduce to 1 scoop.

Post workout meal: 1 AMRAP bar (300 cal, 17 G protein, 14 carbs). Made of paleo friendly ingredients. For example, uses honey to sweeten.

Love this, and will join you as soon as I'm cleared.

Even our coaches sort of gird their loins for FGB. They say it's similar to Murph in effort. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Excellent workout. Can't wait to get back to regular exercise. 16 more days till I'm medically cleared.

Good luck and let us know how it goes![/quote']it went well. I ended up doing 254 reps in the workout which is not a bad score. My weak area is definitely the shoulder presses, but I found to have pretty good reps on everything else, including the rowing. I was definitely toasted afterwards.

I hope others feel comfortable with posting their workouts on this thread.
