Brian's road to elite fitness
Hey all, I'm almost 17 years old and weight around 170#. I have been crossfitting on and off for about a year and have recently finished a 6 week cycle of CFSB. I will continue to do this for another 6 weeks and will experiment with Crossfit Football later. Here are some starting stats:
Back Squat: 260x3
Front Squat: 225+
Deadlift: 330+
Press:~145
Clean and Jerk:~190
Snatch:~135 
Kipping pullups:~30
Don't really know my times on benchmark workouts because they are improving so fast. |

So Brian, you're a year younger than me, but you're a lot heavier and a lot stronger than me...I need to get to work. Also, welcome to the boards.

I owe my progress to my diet, paleo + dairy. Not too long ago, my 1rm squat was 235.

Welcome aboard!
There's plenty of great information to be found here, and many knowledgeable people. It can make it easy to second guess what you're doing. If you're making progress and enjoying yourself, keep doing what you're doing (and keep it consistent!)

1. Grip skill work, 2 sets of thumbless hang on bar for 50 seconds
2. 135# overhead practice, managed to get 7 push jerks in a row!
3. Metcon:
10 Overhead squats 94#
25 double unders
8 Overhead squats
25 double unders
6 overhead squats
25 double unders
4 overhead squats
16 double unders, 9 tuck jumps (got so ****ed that I was going so slow with double unders)
2 overhead squats
25 tuck jumps
12:38
Double unders were more horrible than expected. Was doing them one at a time. Had to switch to tuck jumps or else I would have cut the rope in half out of anger.

I like that powerclean, k2e, ring dip metcon. Might have to steal it. Do you make up your own?
