1. Quite apart from high brow discussion i think it looks more like Colm and Big Shane being very unimpressed with my air drumming skills!

2. recommended weights and heights? Or is it up to the individual?

3. Colm,

   You know, we didn’t think of that. Height on the box jump is generally 24″, pull ups you know, and let’s say 40Kg on the SDHP.

   BTW, I’ve found the ideal diet guys – http://astro.berkeley.edu/~gmarcy/thermal/tpteacher/jokes/icecream.html

4. thanks colm

   now that’s the sort of diet i can get behind! Only problem i can see is the ice-cream as to stay frozen all the time, as any melting would mean it’s heating up and therefore you burn less calories

5. 40kg SDHP? Eugh. I’ll try and make it out tonight for this, provided my foot feels okay to jump on.

6. Bobby – Rather than us spamming up Eamonn’s training log on the forum any further, I figured I’d reply to the lactic acid stuff out here.

   I think I originally heard that lactic acid was used a substrate for energy production from Mr Glassman over in manchester, but having done a bit of poking around I’m no longer sure by what criteria you can call it a new metabolic pathway, as there seem to actually be an awful lot more than 3 or 4 of them.

   I think this here paper from 2004 might be the one in question: http://ajpregu.physiology.org/cgi/content/abstract/287/3/R502, but I can’t access the full text.

   More general intro here: http://sportsmedicine.about.com/cs/exercisephysiology/a/aa053101a.htm (although there’s some stuff about a high carb diet at the end that I’m pretending I didn’t see), and the wiki article is good too (at the moment at least): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactic_acid#Exercise_and_lactate

7. I’ve access to those journals Will, I sent it on to the crossfit.ie email. I’ll take a look see over the weekend

8. Last night I ate a whole Easter egg by myself.

9. Sounds like you’re right on top of this glycogen replenishment business, Helzy.

10. Will – good luck at the qualifier this weekend! What, no knee socks, short-shorts and mullet picture like the guy in the profile picture below yours??

12. Colm/Will,
    Stuck with Kids tonight as the wife has gone out with her friends.Following on from Shanes running comments of about a week ago; Decided to have run at lunch instead. I remember telling you that my run times had slowed when i started crossfit(Feb 7th) probably due to the squating etc. Apart from the running elements of the WODs i haven’t run since 20th Feb. I ran approx 4 miles and my best before crossfit was about 33.5 mins(13th Feb). I did the same run today 29.43! My boss asked me how i got on and he calculated about a 10% improvement and muttered if i was involved in sport i’d be tested, as he walked away.
    Thought you might want to know the results of your methods ?
    Followed the run by a mini Wod
    Pushups 15-14-13-12………1
    Squats 1-2-3………….15
    15 pushups followed by 1 squat, 14 pushups followed by 2 squats etc etc
    Time 12.15

13. Sweet work Tony! Those roids are really paying off

14. Team Old Man: Sponsored by Dianabol; the old mans roid of choice.

15. Thanks Liz! The plan is to not embarass myself too badly, anything after that is a bonus.

    Tony – You mean this stuff works? That’s a relief.

16. Godammit this whole Will constantly being proved right is getting old!
