Baller aswinter05 Posted February 17, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 17, 2013 My wife and I have been doing some HIIT workouts. This guy just destroyed my legs. A challenge for some of you ballers trying to stay in shape during the off-season like us. How's this for accountability? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GAJ0004 Posted February 17, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 17, 2013 @ShaneH. I am trying to get down to 175lbs.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller GAJ0004 Posted February 17, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 17, 2013 @mino, if you have a cold, stay home from the gym. Rest until you get rid of the cold, you will bounce back faster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Brady Posted February 18, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 18, 2013 Since I saw this thread pop up, I thought I would give an update on my winter. 3 months of physical therapy for my torn MCL and Hip Labral tear--$970. Hiring a personal trainer through the winter--$400. Acquiring my brand new SenateC with Strata boots, $1,200. Being down 27 pounds from pushing my fat ass away from more food and sweets and killing myself off in the gym.......priceless!!! Approaching 240 gents, and ready for the damn ice to melt!!!!!

Baller ForrestGump Posted February 18, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 18, 2013 Saturday at CF was tough. Started it off with 3 rounds of 400m run, 20 pushups, and 20 OH Squats. There were 16 so they broke it up into 8 stations and everyone partnered up for three rounds. Each partner did 30 seconds of every station, then the other partner did it. Then you rotated to the next station. GHD situps, wall balls, sled push, box jump, ropes, Sumo Deadlift High Pulls, Push presses, and a 50m sprint. First round no issue. Got to the ropes in the second round and I was wayyyy overheated and couldn't breathe. Had to sit out the remainder of Round 2 and get back in for Round 3. After the pneumonia, I feel fine now. And strength workouts are no big deal. But the endurance stuff, or things where you don't have any recovery time are whipping me like I'm a bad puppy. All Saturday afternoon I could feel the fluid buildup in my lungs again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klundell Posted February 21, 2013 Share Posted February 21, 2013 Any ballers signed up for the crossfit games open?

Baller Skoot1123 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted February 26, 2013 Started my P90X2 program yesterday. Forgot how much core work there is in this stuff. Glad to see it, poured out the sweat last night. Plyocide tonight - time to bring it as there is no turning back. I can "taste" the ski season.

Baller Skoot1123 Posted February 26, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted February 26, 2013 @OB - right now it looks like I'll be riding the '08 Monza. I will be demoing an A3 at Coble's, and maybe a Strada when I get a lesson in Farmer City, IL. I'll keep my eyes open for a used ski on Ski - It - Again, as I think that will be the only way I'll be able to afford a newer ski. Feel free to send me your Mapple 6.0 or Nano one! I'll even pay shipping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Brady Posted February 27, 2013 Baller Share Posted February 27, 2013 @Skoot1123 I like how you have your priorities! You have a good head on your shoulders. And, as for P90X. I am starting my second go at it tomorrow, so we will be working out.....er....suffering together! My wife is in love with the black dude on the yoga tapes!

Baller Skoot1123 Posted February 27, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted February 27, 2013 X2 Plyocide last night - it crushed me. We were supposed to run in place.....I don't think my feet made it off the floor for some of those. YIKES - lots of room to improve. Rest day today - and then bring it hard tomorrow night.

Baller Skoot1123 Posted March 1, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted March 1, 2013 Had X2 Total body last night. Felt great - really worked the core. Was a cardio workout and a strength/balance workout all in one. I love X2. Was totally beat for hockey this morning - but I did it anyway. Good to get on the skates - its a challenge when most of the players are better than me - keeps me working hard. Spring can't get here soon enough.....

Baller ForrestGump Posted March 2, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 2, 2013 At crossfit yesterday, we were doing power cleans. Our instructor was yelling "Shane, your hips are too far up."

Baller Skoot1123 Posted March 5, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted March 5, 2013 Completed Yoga X2 on Sunday evening and X2 Core last night. Love the yoga session - still have the flexibility - about 6 inches from the splits. Core is getting stronger from all the stability ball and med ball pushups/burpees/balancing acts. Love this stuff - even if it wears me out, I guess that is the point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller ForrestGump Posted March 5, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 5, 2013 I am wiped out from CF last night. 5 pullups, 10 pushups, and 15 body weight squats every minute for 30 minutes. Add THAT up! My quads are screaming today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller Skoot1123 Posted March 6, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted March 6, 2013 Starting second week of P90X2, last night was Plyocide! I brought it as best I could and felt some definite improvements over last week. Did ab ripper this morning. Great sweat! @Brady - Adam, on X1 is crazy strong and flexible.

Baller Skoot1123 Posted March 15, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted March 15, 2013 Been a while since I posted my accountability but I have continued to work on P90X2. Have seen great improvements this past week which was my third week of P90X2 Phase I. Core is getting much stronger and my agility is better. I will end up taking a rest week next week to ensure I am not over-training. This means more yoga and maybe a cardio workout plus hockey. Legs are feeling strong and upper body balance is gettin' there. 32 pull up last night in one set - that is a record for me. BRING IT!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skoot1123 Posted March 30, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted March 30, 2013 Well, I'm out for a bit with my training. AC shoulder separation on Friday morning playing hockey. See the ortho doc next week. Now on to recovery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted March 30, 2013 Baller Share Posted March 30, 2013 Skied two sets yesterday and while I am not as light as I would like to be I feel pretty good today. I hope to get another one in tomorrow then that will probably be it for about 3 weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bakinblak Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 This week in the gym I ratcheted up like I havent done in 10 years. No joke. Every part got 5lbs heavier dumbbells. Situps went up 5 reps. Bench went up 15 lbs, squats went up 20. Usually I go up 1-2, maybe 3 workouts at a time if its early on but I did 6. Hammies are strengthening. No sudden spasms causing me concern. The forarm and bycept are better, the tweeking symptoms I was feeling are almost gone. Part of the reason was pressure on my pointer finger, not my middle and ring, which looking back makes sense because that finger would be beat to hell after a weekend of skiing, which cause the corresponding forearm muscle trouble. Hmmm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skoot1123 Posted April 30, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted April 30, 2013 Started donig more with my shoulder/arm the last couple days. Did some light band stretches and 5lb static holds yesterday morning with weights. Lots of yard work yesterday - using shovel and pushing a mower. Shoulder felt good, though it was sore in the evening. Sore this morning too, but ice fixed that. Feels like I'm on the road to recovery. Slow going as it may be........

Baller ForrestGump Posted April 30, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 30, 2013 9 ski sets in 4 days plus two crossfit workouts from hell. After walking up the stairs to my office, I immediately decided to work downstairs today. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Texas6 Posted April 30, 2013 Baller Share Posted April 30, 2013 Yep, Im struggling to keep up with both as well. Slight pull to a muscle in my mid back doing kettle bell swings late last week. Felt ok until I ski'd later that afternoon. Heating pad ever since. :). I keep reminding myself, I workout to ski better, if I can't ski because of my workout, I need to re-assess my priorities Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baller ForrestGump Posted May 1, 2013 Baller Share Posted May 1, 2013 @rayn My mistake was getting 4 ski sets in on sunday trying two different skis. Truly, I can handle a couple of crossfit workouts during the week and ski also. Unlike in the winter when I'm doing 4-5 times at CF. But, I brought home a new Cannondale road bike last night. Something else to beat my body up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skoot1123 Posted May 1, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted May 1, 2013 Went for it last night - did one pushup. Felt OK - but I didn't want to over do it while just getting back. Can't wait to get working out again...! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klundell Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 @ShaneH for the last couple seasons I've tried to keep doing CrossFit while skiing 10-12 sets a week. It lasted about a month both times before I realized I wasn't recovering and I dumped CrossFit entirely. Changing it up this year and just keeping up with the lifting... Squats, O-lifting, and some really short smart WODs like 3-10 minutes. I haven't started skiing yet so we will see how that plays out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Texas6 Posted May 1, 2013 Baller Share Posted May 1, 2013 I'm in a similar boat. I'm trying to maintain without gain throughout the season. I'm cutting back from 4-5 workouts a week to 3 + skiing. I think I can generally maintain what I've gained without injury. I've maintained 4-5 workouts through ski season the past few years and I think my skiing suffered a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skoot1123 Posted May 2, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted May 2, 2013 @klundell and @texas6 - I think we all forget how intense and energy sapping skiing is. My plan this year is to do some 10 minute workous in the morning 2-3 times per week and get some ab exercises in as well to keep the core in good shape. This shoulder injury has really set me back. But I am going to bounce back and be stronger than before. It also means I'm going to ski smarter. Come on SUMMER! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Chef23 Posted May 2, 2013 Baller Share Posted May 2, 2013 I kept up with a workout schedule last year for the first time that was put together by Jenny Labaw. Jenny knew I was skiing and scheduled the workouts accordingly. I would shift days around based on my schedule. I never left a summer workout completely wasted like I do during the off season. The objective was to maintain my strength during the ski season so I didn't have to start from scratch. It seemed to help me out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller rayn Posted May 3, 2013 Baller Share Posted May 3, 2013 +1 on both Jenny and doing some gym work during the season. Last year was the first I kept going to the gym and felt that made me stronger durning ski season not weaker. Being in good overall shape means more practice time.

Baller Skoot1123 Posted May 7, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted May 7, 2013 Hung from the monkey bars on my daughters playset. Didn't do a pullup but didn't feel any popping either. Progressing quiet nicely. Can't wait for ski season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Skoot1123 Posted June 2, 2013 Author Baller Share Posted June 2, 2013 I think I'm completely rehabbed. Did 5 warmup pull-ups and then 15 more followed by 5 cool down pull-ups. I'm ready to ski!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
