Nutrition Challenge : Day 1 - HUNGER PAINS and CrossFit Total

The first day was a TOUGH day ... I was eating food ... but I've cut my carb intake as I know that I'm very carb sensitive. Basically i'm doing The Zone ... 20 blocks protein, 20 blocks fats, 12 blocks carbs.

I had "hunger" pains all day ... until I got to CrossFit by Overload.

We did our CFT (CrossFit Total) and I was pumped ... but I totally thought I'd blow it this time as I haven't really trained hard for over a month.

My last totals were as follows:

Back Squat = 280lbs
Shoulder Press = 135lbs
Deadlift = 355lbs

CFT = 770

I felt really good today ... nothing hurt ... I was ready. My first attempt at the Back Squat and I felt really strong ... so I just went for it ... 290lbs was the most I ever had on my back ... and I did it twice. So I bumped upto 315lbs and BAM, I did it! It wasn't going to be as bad as I thought afterall. So, to make a long story short this is what my CFT was:

Back Squat = 315lbs (+35lbs)
Shoulder Press = 145lbs (+10lbs)
Deadlift = 405lbs (+50lbs)

CFT = 865

I am very happy with this ... originally I wanted 410lbs by the end of the Nutrition Challenge ... Now I'm aiming for the 500lb Deadlift Club & a 1000 CFT! I can't wait to see what these next 12 weeks will bring.
