Fatbusting: Kirwan's log
-
Kirwan, all your FB pics so you and your mates smiling... obviously pre-workout snaps aye!! not enough starfish action lol!<br />
<br />
Keep us posted with how you are going. Sounds like you are miles ahead of where you were last year. Awesome to see improvement like that. -
Ha, we are just too tired to have any other expression. Was a big day, I did a repeat of 13.1 in the morning (which I did poorly at, 11 less reps) then we had the weightlifting comp at 3, and we got bored waiting for the beer so competed to see who could swing the 36kg kettle bell the most (I only managed 15, winner 26)<br />
<br />
Came third in the comp, missed my snatch at 70kg with a slight press out, and equalled my PB for Clean & Jerk for 92.5kg. Happy to test the multiple workout theory though. <br />
<br />
As the scores pour in for 13.1, in the Aussie region I'm managing to stay in the top 1000 for overall Men (my goal for the open), and mid 30s for the 40-44 Masters. A much better start than last years, think I have the second best score in my gym for guys. -

One of the boys at my gym is into his crossfit too and reckons he got thru 7 of the 75kg snatch. Said was gonna have another crack over the weekend though.<br />
<br />
Looks all too hard for my liking!<br />

Great score, puts him in the top 200 in the Aussie region. He registered on the leader board? -

I used to love these sorts of things when rowing - making sure you stayed near the top of your age group and trying to compete with the young bucks! Doing bloody well - anyone in close range in the age group you can knock off you reckon...?? -
Last year, some friend of my cousin was having a mini battle with me. Haven't found my target yet, don't see any names I know. My coach has slipped up to the 45-55 masters category.<br />
<br />
As comparison for last year, In round 1 I was 2118 in Oz. This morning I'm at 991, probably will slip a bit more over the next day, but I expect it will stay around 1000ish, so a much better start than last year. And because of how they score it (how many people ahead of you), a good start is really important.<br />
<br />
Just finished the Cindy "conditioning" workout today, so that should keep me ticking over. The bad thing about the open workouts is you can lose your endurance a bit over the course of the comp.<br />
<br />
20mins, ended up at 80 kipping pullups (for the pedants), 160 chest to ground pushups, 230 squats. Pushups went early for me, after last weeks million burpees, had to struggle those out. -
I think this is the aspect of Crossfit that appeals the most - being able to workout in your local gym with your mates and compete internationally is awesome! <br />
<br />
Keep up the good work Kirwan, you are representing the Fatbusting crew and expectations are high!! 5 scoops of rage before the next workout should see you on fire ha ha -

Hell, I'm a two scooper too! AS is the wife!!<br />
<br />
and so long as you're not taking it every day, Rage does not need to be cycled etc.<br />

<br />
And if you are using 4/5 times a week (generally 4)? -
Confirmed positions have me at;<br />
<br />
<br />
Individual: 20990 and 1243 for Worldwide and Australian region (so have slipped out of the top 1000 I'm aiming for)<br />
<br />
Masters 40-44: 1197 and 53 (same order)<br />
<br />
Could be worse. I'm in with a shot as long as they keep some heavier weights in their for higher reps. -
Well done mate. Just looked you up on the leaderboard. <br />
<br />
I see the likely suspects are up the top after workout 1 - Rich Froning, Jason Khalipa -

Hey K, 4 times a week, just on the weights workouts. So usually 2 on, 1 off 2 on, 2 off...<br />

Ok, that is very similar to me with the frequency. Tried the double scoop today (perfectly timed for 6am workout), don't feel the boost at the beginning as much, but definitely feel the benefit at the back of a workout, high reps are being maintained.<br />
<br />
Had a good strength morning with my push press. Worked that up to 80kg x 5, added 5kg to my PB. So pretty much what I weigh. -
that is mean bro! being able to lift your bodyweight over your head is an achievement, let alone 5 reps! I've been transitioning to these at the end of my military presses. There is a surprising amount of technique to doing it efficiently, not enough snap and that weight just doesn't want to move!
