I simply assign a number I am comfortable with per minute. If I’m trying to lose weight that’s 1 or 2 calories a minute, if I’m in maintenance around 7 calories a minute. Having said that, there’s no way to create a formula that accurately track most CrossFit a WODs. They are, by nature, constantly varied. Unless you are…

221 Rx

18.3 announced. I’m screwed.

Pull-ups, handstand push-ups, and deadlifts are the three things I’m best at! No double Unders, Assault Bike, or heavy Snatches...

Done the first two so far... 18.1 - 237 Reps, Rx 18.2 - 10:33, 185 lbs, Rx

10:33, 185 lbs Rx Second time with some heavy DB’s for me... I weigh 165 so +20 BW Clean seemed pretty good. New Burpee standards are a pain though... no repped 3 times

237 Reps, Rx

But Machines don’t get tired....people do.

Hey Joyce, Crossfit is, by design, constantly varied. No two workouts, besides benchmarks and HERO WODs, will be the same. Some WODs throw around weight, others are more gymnastics based, some have some distance running, and some have built in rest. There are workouts that should be paced and others, like AMRAPs, which are…

Wall Balls. A quick google will give you a video far better than I can explain.

I like these food packets called Fuel for Fire - They are mixes of fruits, veggies, and whey protein isolate. Ingredient list is short with nothing artificial. Comes pasteurized in baby food like packets that you can just throw into your gym bag. For the Strawberry Banana Calories: 105 Carbs: 15 Protein: 12 Fat: 0

Unless you have a lot of experience in Olympic lifting, powerlifting, and gymnastics... - Take it sloooow. Listen to the trainers. Don’t just jump in to 5 Days a week. Seek progress, not perfection. - Listen to your body. Just because you CAN do one more rep doesn’t mean you always SHOULD. - Leave your ego at the door.…

New England: Stowe Colorado: Snowmass Utah: Solitude

5’6” - 163.2 lbs - 2536 Calories That’s my average calories over the last two months - I know it’s pretty dumb luck to have hit the same exact weight to the tenth of a pound last two weigh-ins (every two weeks). Sometimes I’ll step on just to see in between, but the variables aren’t “controlled” like when I do a proper…

June 24th, 2017 - November 20th, 2017 Down 30 lbs, Down 32 lbs at my lowest, in a recomp now.

Thanks for this link - I’m forwarding it to CrossFit box I’m a member of. They have a team section, and I’m sure we could get a couple teams together. Didn’t see if you could combine meters on Ski/Rowers or if it had to be one machine only....Do you know?

Awesome! I think just one more person and we should get be good to go! @tuskegee4 Ack, Assault bike coach! I’m not looking forward to the week when you’re programming the WOD! Those things are my least favorite piece of equipment in the box.

When my father was on incredibly large doses of painkillers for end stage prostate cancer, he had this same issue. Senna, etc were not working and he was incredibly uncomfortable. His hospice nurse recommended a “Brown Cow”, which I thought was her own creation until a google search. Apparently it’s an old school remedy -…

Breakfast- Green Smoothie (Almond Milk, Greek Yogurt, Flax Seeds, MacroGreen Powder, Spinach, Frozen Blueberries, 1/3 Banana, Unflavored Whey Isolate), Coffee Post Workout - MyProtein Cinnamon Roll Isolate Lunch - Skipped Dinner - Pork Chops, Roasted Broccoli, Stovetop Stuffing made w/o the butter (its 25 cents a box right…

We have Assault Air Runners at our gym - no powered treadmills. All of our running in the workouts is supposed to be done outside - but sometimes the weather isn’t cooperative. That’s the main reason for them, it closer simulates the challenge of running outside better than powered treadmills.

CrossFit is by design “constantly varied”, so you are going to have a difficult time getting an exact amount of calories for a WOD. Some workouts are heavy on cardio, some workouts have moderate weight oly lifts in them, others have a ton of gymnastic moves and a bunch of plyo metric exercises... and most have a…

Also - my CrossFit Box in Boston, CrossFit Southie, is having a competition this weekend and I met two people who travelled from Pioneer Valley CrossFit to compete. They both were super nice, awesome competitors, and nothing but great things to say about PV CrossFit

Anything from the Hang position - Hang Power Cleans, Hang Snatch High Pulls, Hang Clean High Pulls

MyProtein Whey Isolates - it’s good and cheap. They have the highest ranking on Labdoor.com I’m using Cinnamon Roll now: - 90 Cals - 0g Fat - 2g Carbs - 20g Protein - 0g Sugars Bought a kilo for $18.99... I thought Glazed Donut was waaayyy to sweet.

Squat Cleans and Deadlifts, 165 And 345, 6 x 3 Then a Chipper of Toes 2 Bars, Wallballs, KB Swings, and Box Jumps (250 total reps, 14 mins - rep every 2.8 seconds)

Pull-ups. What equipment do you have? No problem not getting to the gym, but maybe picking up a few basics like a kettlebell and a jump rope would really open up the options. Can improvise too - don’t need to buy a plyo box, just find a stable sturdy surface about 20-24 inches off the ground and do Box Jumps.. Depending on…

I have family in W.Springfield and Agawam. I’ve been to a couple great CrossFit boxes in Western MA, if you’d like to give that a try. It’s not for everyone, but I’m really happy with how my strength and fitness has been progressing. Pioneer Valley CrossFit is considered one of the best in New England - it’s in Hadley.

Walking Barbell Lunges - Both Front Rack And Back Rack

The big ones? We have them up to 150 lbs.... those things are TOUGH to get over your shoulder.

Isopure makes coffee protein powder with real coffee grounds in it. Maybe a scoop of that, a scoop of unsweetened cocoa, and some warmed almond milk for a hot mocha in the morning.
