The overhead squat...the next best thing for your core besides dumbell curls on a Bosu Ball
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I got this from Chuck the other day. I wanted to share it with everyone,interesting stuff.
Here's some data after a year of Crossfitting and Zone/Paleo eating. Before May 2008, diet was high carbohydrate, primarily from grains. Oatmeal or cold cereal in the AM, noodles/bread at lunch, and pasta-based dinners. Exercise was 4-5 days of ice hockey plus 1-2 days of running per week, some isolation movements with weights. In June of 2008 started crossfitting with Tim 5x per week, with maybe a run, ride, or light hike on the weekends. Diet changed drastically. Started with Zone, cut WAY back on carbs, more protien and fat, but included dairy, legumes, some grains. Lost 10 lbs in first few months. Diet continued to change towards Paleo, eating mostly meat, eggs, nuts fruit & vegetables. Some cheating here and there. Favorite breakfast now is 4 eggs fried in olive oil with ground beef, tomato spinach mushrooms, and an apple. I quadrupled my intake of fat in the form of eggs, nuts, and meat in the past year.
Chuck's Data May 2008 May 2009
Bodyweight 185# 175#
Cholesteral 146 136
Triglycerides 66 47
HDL (good type) 47 44
LDL (bad type) 86 83
In addition to the data, I'm much stronger and fitter than I was in '08, need less sleep, and am happier too.
Conventional wisdom on diet is flawed -- find what works for you.
