Training is progressing well. I'm still doing the BFL/Crossfit combination, but I'm thinking of moving more to Crossfit soon. The nutrition is almost identical, but the lifting really focuses much more on compound movements much more than BFL. I'm beginning to really understand that training muscles in isolation makes little sense for real world, everyday living. I would recommend anyone on BFL to stick to compound exercises rather than isolation movements.
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.
