Fenderbender Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Just like the title says I just made Fran my bitch in 3:09!!! Ok I've been following W30 meal templates for well over a year with very little derivation... I'm 6'2". 220. 51 years old This entire last two weeks I have not eaten any starchy veg like sweet potatoes...just plenty of vegetables each meal and one fruit a day ( banana post WO) I Crossfit six days a week, every week.... And the strength and WODs have been very hard all month leading up to a comp. This morning we did four set of squats to warm up then 8x3 @ 60% (275) so our legs were good and tired Three min rest then Fran 21-15-9. Thrusters @95 and pull-ups 3:09 Three min rest then Narf ( Fran in reverse) 6:03 For those who don't Crossfit.. Fran in under 5 min is elite time Soooo...... Anyone who doubts the benefits of Paleo and especially Whole30, think again.....I just did the performance of a lifetime on fats protein and vegetables !!!!

Natalie43 Posted October 12, 2013 Share Posted October 12, 2013 Well I have no idea what Fran is, but sounds like you did great. It is interesting that the received wisdom (here in Australia, and I assume the US) is that you NEED starchy carbs like grains for energy and you should carb-load before major exertion. My best friend is a dietician and I haven't dared tell her I'm doing Whole30! I'll tell her after I've finished when I can tell her what (if anything) it's done for me.

Fenderbender Posted October 13, 2013 Author Share Posted October 13, 2013 If I were to do a strait mass gain/ strength or powerlifting cycle, I would eat a boat load more carbs in form of sweet potato,plantain,etc..... I like to experiment and see what kind of results I get ..... Now I'm trying to retain strength and still slowly trim up a bit to increase my running/metacon times.... Lowish carb seems to do just great for my goals Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KimmyW Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Wow Fenderbender that's AWESOME. Sounds like a hard training session and you KILLED Fran! I've never backed Fran up with Narf; sounds nasty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenderbender Posted October 14, 2013 Author Share Posted October 14, 2013 @ KimmyW Thanks...... Narf was awful after Fran !!!! The three min. Rest did nothing but allow my muscles to cease up... After the first round of nine I loosened up a bit and was able to go harder but it was evil!!! Our box is prepping for " beast mode battle" in November ..... The competition is four different 12 min WODS with only 3 min rest in between each ....48 min of AMRAP in a one hour time span... PAIN!!! Unfourtunatly I can't take off work that weekend,but I'm training with everyone else just to get it under my belt for next time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
