I am almost done with PCT from my last cycle and two weeks in to taking GW.
As several people have said my cardio is ridiculous! I am not feeling super strong right now but hey I am keeping up with my maxes while on PCT. I will not complain about that. At-least I am not ready to hang it up like I usually feel on PCT.
As most of you guys have heard me say I am CrossFitter. CrossFit isn't anything new it just borrows from multiple other sport disciplines and puts them in a format that is measurable and highly competitive. Most of the metabolic conditioning workouts are designed to complete a prescribed amount of tasks/movements as quick as possible (for time) or to complete as many repetitions as possible in a prescribed amount of time.
So with all of that said here are some measurable results.
First off, I did a benchmark CrossFit workout called FRAN.
It is 21 Thrusters @ 95#, 21 pull ups, 15 Thrusters, 15 pull ups, 9 Thrusters, & 9 pull ups for time.
Most every CrossFitter has done this work out and it can be miserable.
To give a an idea of long this takes. It takes the elite CrossFitters approx. 2 min. (super fast) but the average "good" CrossFitter at the gym 6-8 minutes (my first time took me 13 minutes).
Towards the end of my cycle I did this workout in 5 minutes and 35 seconds
This week I did it in 4:50!
Another measurable workout was today.
It is a workout called Kelly and consists of 5 rounds of a 400 meter run, 30 BoxJumps (24"), & 30 WallBall shots (20#'s).
I did this workout today in 96 degree heat and 80% humidity and I was on fire.
I completed it in 25:07. The last time I did this workout in September it took me 31:21
So all of this to say I am loving the GW!
I have one more week and then I start S4 & MK. I am stoked.
