Fight Gone really bad ...

Went back to crossfit today after my first 3 personal training session at DiabloCrossfit. And guess what was the workout for today? Fight Gone Bad! This was supposedly the crossfit workout designed for BJ Penn to prepare him for a fight. After the training, they asked BJ Penn what he thought about it compared to a fight and he said, it was like a 'fight gone bad'. Thus the name.

This is what it covered:
1. Wall-ball: 20 pound ball, 10 ft target men ,14lb ball, 8 ft target women. (Reps)
2. Sumo deadlift high-pull: 75 pounds men 55lbs women (Reps)
3. Box Jump: 20" box (Reps)
4. Push-press: 75 pounds men, 55lbs women (Reps)
5. Row: calories (Calories)
(just copied and pasted this from diablocrossfit.com)

We were to do 3 sets of these with 1 min rest in between (just like a fight). It was tough. I did a total of 203 reps which really sucks, my partner (whom haven't been there for months ... a girl, smaller than me) did like 270 or something like that. But nevertheless, right after, I felt great. I feel fresh, and most importantly, I feel like I've accomplished something.

Here's a youtube video that tells you about Fight Gone Bad (beginning tells you what it is and middle shows you the workout)

By the way, I'm not in here. I got this from google video and it's probably from CrossFit headquarters or something.

Back in the Game ... and now with a Plan!

It's been a while I haven't been blogging and it's because I got my workout routine back! It was difficult coming back after the rhabdo, the biopsy and all the 'advices' I get from the people that love and care of me (especially my wife) =) ... but I must stay active and get myself back in shape.

So what is the plan?

• M-F: Crossfit at diablocrossfit.com. Class is offered at 5-8 (every hour) and it's literally like 5 min from my apt, which is awesome. And they have a kickboxing class on Monday, Thurs and Sat. So i get to maintain my kickboxing training.
• Sat - Sun: Krav Maga in San Francisco with my best buddy. On Saturday, they have this great Conditioning class that combines circuit training with bag work. On Sunday, they have a KO bag class which pretty much tells you to hit the crap of the bag. Great workout, and kickboxing inspired (which is a must for me). These are usually followed by jiujitsu and light sparring.

It's been 2.5 weeks and it's been going great. Especially the crossfit. I know it gave me the rhabdo in the first place but where else can you find a workout that can beat the crap out of you in 15 mins?!? Crossfit. Check it out.
