The journey started 5 yrs ago after my injury competing on gymnastics, where I had to stop for 6 months with a sharp pain on my lower back, which we discover it was from a hernia (spinal disc displacement).
Once at the University, we met new tends and new training styles. This kind of training sessions, are focused more on functional training (explanation of FT), it cover most of the movements that we do on our daily life. Was a mix between, metabolic Conditioning Workouts (METCON), Gymnastics or calisthenics movements and weightlifiting.
By this time I was trying to mantain my gymnastic skills as hard as I could, training with the voleyball team and mixing it with some body building training and some CrossFit movements in a regular gym, where it was not the best place for this training…
Reading and studying about CrossFit, training and life, I decided to dedicate my Project degree based on the different diets until the moment related with CorssFit-Weight Loss and HIIT (High Intensity Training)
Is surprising how much information of different diets you can find; from KETO Diet, Paleo Diet, Non strict Paleo, ZONE DIET, Supplementation (Omega 3-6-9, Protein, Creatine, Glutamine, Beta Alanine, BCAAs, Hormonal boosters…).
You can find more info and download free samples on this link:
By the time I was preparing my project I thought that what it can be better than give a chance to some of those diets, supplementation doses, and CrossFit training; than trying to put all this knowledges together to see the best results possibles. I have to say that by this time my weight it was around 73 kg and after trying to focus on the project, taking care of a lot of points as: sleeping hours 8-10, HIIT-Bodybuilding and CrossFit Training, around 2-3 hours per day with 2 days of active recovery (voleyball, basketball, soccer; just for fun). The Zone Diet and supplementation gave me the best results, in terms like strength-recovery, where I was able to increase my muscle composition in around 6-7 kgs in 6 months.
I have to say that when I start doing CF I wasnt able to Over Head Squat more than 40kg, 3 weeks later I could reach 60kg, after 6 months my 1RM was around 90kg.
