With a continuously running clock do one pull-up the first minute, two pull-ups the second minute, three pull-ups the third minute... continuing as long as you are able.
And yes, your hands will most likely rip on this one...

Hi Everyone,
I thought it'd be easier to address this issue on the blog, since I've been getting a lot of emails about this.
"IT'S JUST TOO MUCH FOOD"
Yes, if you make good choices on the Zone Diet, you'll find that it's a whole lot of food. And isn't that great? But I realize that if you aren't used to eating this way it can be difficult at first.
Eat through it. Yes, I said it-keep eating. Sounds weird, but this is really the way to go about the diet. First of all, you'll find that eating this way will actually give you the energy you need to get through a CrossFit workout. You've got to put enough gas in the tank to get yourself where you want to be, right? So keep eating.
Next, realize that what you ate prior to this diet may have been really dense foods, which may seem like less quantity-wise, but calorie-wise were very high. Chances are you're eating less calories but more food. Win-win!
A steady eating schedule such as the Zone will help you regulate your insulin levels. As some of you may find today, you won't experience that "3 o'clock crash" a lot of people experience at the office. Or that "food coma" feeling you get after that heavy lunch. And over time the "too much food" issue works itself out-if you're Zoning correctly and making good food choices.
So-stick with the program, people! And watch your health (and those PRs) improve! :)
lol... this is a pretty cool diet, my math is also improving! As for those who say its too much food try cooking the carbs. Example, instead of 2 cups of Broccoli raw, steam them and make it a 1 1/4 cup (trust me its better steamed anyways).
I have been trying to stick to the favorable carbs. and have had fun experimenting the veggies and fruits, carbs. and proteins, as for fats I'm sticking to nuts and seeds. However, be aware that experiments can go bad too.
My first salad consist of...
Protein
4 oz chicken 4 block
Carb.
2 cups of raw broccoli 1 block
4 cups of raw spinach 1 block
1 lemon 1 block
7 cherries 1 block
Protein/Carb.
1 cups milk 1pro/1carb
fats
1 tsp of olive oil 3 blocks
6 Almonds 2 blocks
*** this salad is disgusting it had me gagging 1/2 way through! So try at your own risk. (yes I finished the salad)
other then that my mixing experiments have gotten a lot better and yummier!

Efren- it's not a salad, but try the recipe for Zone Chili in the zone food article! It's really good-- and it's listed under the 2, 3, and 5 block meals.

Impressive numbers folks!!
I'm reading a book on the history of “pi” ("π"; yes, the number 3.141592 ...). Fascinating!
Imagine man in 3000 B.C., freakin' about and trying to figure out why
1. there's a relationship between a circle’s diameter and its circumference, and it is always constant; but
2. it does not result in a whole-number ratio; and
3. how precisely can a person express that number?
I know, I know ... trippy! (btw, they tended to guess the ratio at between 3 or 3 1/7 and 3 1/8 –– not bad , and pretty close for being not too far from cavemen themselves!) Which means I’m in the mood for numbers: how many pull ups did we do? Let’s go to the tape:
Rnds -Total
01 - 001 ● 10 - 055 ● 19 - 190
02 - 003 ● 11 - 066 ● 20 - 210
03 - 006 ● 12 - 078 ● 21 - 231
04 - 010 ● 13 - 091 ● 22 - 253
05 - 015 ● 14 - 105 ● 23 - 276
06 - 021 ● 15 - 120 ● 24 - 300
07 - 028 ● 16 - 136 ● 25 - 325
08 - 036 ● 17 - 153
09 - 045 ● 18 - 171
word verification: gogme. "Gogme with a spoon!" is NOT the answer if you eat too much pi.
