Beat me too it. If you're doing resistance training general recommendations range from 1 gram per pound of bodyweight to (on the bodybuilding side) 2 grams/lb. Most folks don't get that through their regular diet although it's possible if you're eating a lot of meat.

 

Nice WOD. I'll go back to Xfit on Friday. Double Unders are fun once you master the technique. Keep practicing.

 

Depending on how much and what kind of working out you are doing depends on what kind of diet you should focus on...I personally am partially vegan...dont eat dairy....everything organic from beef, eggs, and chicken. I usually put away about 60 grams a day...but each body is different.

 

The only thing I eat that is prepackaged is cliff bars....most things premise have so much sodium in them after one your damn near done for the day lol

 

Most I can get in a row is low 30's, but as soon as fatigue sets in my rhythm goes away and the rest get worse and worse.

 

Unless you don't want to build muscle, or you only weigh 60lbs, that's not enough protein. Or maybe you have freak DNA.

To say something something more than 1g/lb of body weight is "too much" would be ridiculous in my opinion.

 

I am not trying to be a dick in anyway, but the fact that you just said 60 grams of protein is potentially more than enough, is a pretty outrageous statement.

if your doing crossfit, running a marathon, or just lifting hard at the gym, you need to double that. Unless you 65 lbs of total body weight.

most people should try and achieve .75 gram of protein for every pound of body weight, if your active.

 

What's amazing is that my Xfit coach managed to do 559 double unders with 6 snatches every minute in-between in 10 minutes. He was a machine! The most I've ever done in a row was 102 double unders. It's TOUGH but fun to do once you get the rhythm down.

 

it was intense watching the crossfit games and those guys doing the double unders so fast!

 

It's very rewarding to get a lot in a row, that's for sure.
