Your WODs have a time limit? I've never heard of that

I was doing bar facing burpees and smacked my forehead on the bar. I then followed that up by tripping on the bar. Catching a medicine ball in the face is no joke. Last time I did that my neck hurt for a week SOT press can be pretty humbling

I agree that your body will let you know. I'll be active unless I get body aches or the sickness has made me exhausted

Crossfit done right = cardio. Add more running to your WOD if you want. Even for long distance efforts you do not need lots of volume. HIIT training is no joke

It doesn't matter that much. I'll workout barefoot and wearing wool....

Flexibility is HUGE. I used to feel it in my lower back. I also broke my upper arm and it healed at an angle so literally if I lay on my back with my arms above my head one arm won't touch the ground. What made a world of difference for me is rotating my knees more outward

I'm 80% paleom100% of the time :-) I love bread. LOVE it. I'm pretty good about it but the difference is I no longer have the "calorie is a calorie" mindset. I'll still eat maybe a serving of breads per day and maybe two or three beers a week

I don't mind people being proud of themselves at all, but it is a bit macabre when people consistently just choose a body part to represent the holistic "them". Again, I'm not trying to judge but it strikes me as MFP being populated by non-cephalized bodies

"Chofee" is getting popular around here

Welcome....vegan to paleo seems quite a jump

I'll just pike on to what has been said. I've been going about a year. I've lost maybe 14lbs total and only maybe a pound in the last month but my body composition is changing a lot. I get asked daily if I've lost weight. The difference is I'm stronger, faster, have more endurance and have made increases in EVERY lift and…

Just spend $8 at the nearest sporting goods store. I like longer wraps with thumb loops and Velcro closing. I think the brand on mine are "Harbinger"

*kitten* THEM! Seriously, that type of behavior shouldn't be condoned in a box. I've done more than one WOD barefoot. Good for you for not allowing excuses. We act like there is no possible way people worked out before specialty clothing and synthetic fibers. Just this morning I went to a friends house to work on Deadlift…

The Reebock Nanos have a wide toe box

THIS. I haven't lost much weight but my body composition has changed. I often get asked if I've lost weight. I track my weight but care more about my developing fitness at the box

I get there early to do extra stretching in my shoulders where I'm trying to gain mobility. My box like a lot of others goes like this for each session: Warm up, strength/technique work, WOD, cash out. The cash out is usually something cardio or working on our monthly goals.

I'm not tall...between 5'8" and 5'9 and 219lbs. My max box jump is 38" and anything taller looks kind of intimidating. We've got a couple guys who did 49" this week....not this kid.

You mentioned you're 5'10" right? I bet you'll hit that 30" box soon if its a goal. I'm jealous of anything like 50 DUs in a row. My shins scream bloody murder at 20

I don't have the power lifting background you do and was pretty hamstring weary M was lunges, T back squats, W clean and jerk. Yesterday was run a mile, 2k row, 200 double unders and some other stuff...legs weren't happy campers but my time was pretty competitive for our box

Wow, that is mighty! A big change to be proud of

I don't know you, but you don't want that guy. Why spend effort on anyone dating if they don't dig how you look. I'm married but I didn't look for potential, I went for BAM!

Why can't you do the mile? A sub 8min 2k is pretty quick

Embrace it. Defined shoulders are hawt

I've never done this WOD. It's the volume that'll be a killer.

I just started lifting with crossfit. My back squat is 325 but I'm still learning form. Nice job. Burped BLOW. We did a burpee/toes to bar ladder today 21/15/9. I need to get faster....that took me 8 min

I've never tried them that way. I can only do a couple at a time before I fall off the wall

Good job. That's a LOT. I'm about 85lbs behind you. What's your back squat?

What the other people have said is right on. Crossfit boxes are known for their positive supportive people. Every WOD can be adjusted. You'll have the opportunity to bring the same level of effort as the people doing it prescribed. When I started I was 230 and had bad rotator cuffs. I was using a green band. 9 months later…

Are we talking about a shoulder press? If so that is a HUGE number. Congrats!

I'm pretty much in love with the Practical Paleo cookbook I bought a month or so ago...
