World-Class Fitness in 100 Words, from Crossfit.com:

Eat meat and vegetables, nuts and seeds, some fruit, little starch and no sugar. Keep intake to levels that will support exercise but not body fat. Practice and train major lifts: Deadlift, clean, squat, presses, C&J, and snatch. Similarly, master the basics of gymnastics: pull-ups, dips, rope climb, push-ups, sit-ups, presses to handstand, pirouettes, flips, splits, and holds. Bike, run, swim, row, etc, hard and fast. Five or six days per week mix these elements in as many combinations and patterns as creativity will allow. Routine is the enemy. Keep workouts short and intense. Regularly learn and play new sports.

    Joe, you’re so right. Everything is easier when you’re strong. I have been improving (slowly) on the met-con workouts, but I am definitely not moving as much iron as I would like.

    warm-up: 135×5, 225×5; then 315×5x5, and 385×1.

    I am registered! Looking forward to the pain.
