Well, aren't you a peach? OP - The scale can be a deceitful SOB. It sounds like you are doing all the right things!!! Keep up the great work and celebrate those lost inches with some new jeans!! :wink:

Yesterday's WOD... Strength: Push Press 4x6 *Heavy, but not max -I did 55, 65, 75, 80 WOD (beginner) 21-18-15, For Time: Squat Cleans (xlbs) Ring Row/Assisted Pull-Ups -I did 55# and ring rows; finished in 13:21...probably should have done assisted pull ups

I just ordered the new Reebox Lifter Plus yesterday and am anxiously awaiting their arrival. I will report back here once I have tried them out. Hoping I will be able to post good news!!

Nice work!!!! Congrats on the PRs!!!

In fairness, OP edited her post with the info in caps AFTER the commenter above questioned the logic of misplaced trust. Based solely on the thread title and the content of the original, unedited post, it was a fair question with zero malice.

That's really freakin' awesome!!

Strength: Front Squat - 1x8, 1x6, 1x6, 1x4 -There were 1RM %s associated to each set with increasing load but I don't know my 1RM so I started at 85# and finished the last set at 125#!!! WOD: For Load: Bench Press 5-5-3-3-3-3-3 - Started at 65# and worked my way up to 100#!!! Max Reps @ 65# (there were three other heavier…

This made me LOL!!!

Same here...and I wasn't even friends with her...just loved seeing her around the forums. :frown:

In and out. Repeat as needed.

I had to google this to find out the brand (cause I was hoping it wasn't them) and now I'm kinda pissed off. I REALLY like some of their products and now I feel icky for helping to line their pockets while they are putting this kind of **** out on the market.

You should probably search the forums for all of the P90X threads and warn off everybody who is thinking about trying it. Make sure to join all of the groups, too, so that you can really spread your message to those who need to hear it.

Such a great post!!! Thank you for sharing so openly. Like many others have already commented, I am still learning to be more kind to myself. I have no doubt that this post will help many to do just that. :heart: :heart: :heart:

I will be holding OP responsible if, after making this dish, my life does not change.

Yesterday's WOD (I seem to always forget to post here...): STRENGTH: Bench Press - 5x5 with increasing load I managed to push 90# in my last set and missed my last rep by thismuch. That felt pretty awesome! WOD: 16 minute AMRAP 20 Deadlifts (135/95) 10 Push Press (135/95) I scaled to 55# and completed 7 rounds + 3/0 reps.…

There's an app for that?! I've never had Krispy Kreme (the only one close to me is not really on my way to anything so I've never gone), but armed with this knowledge, I might need to go a bit out of my way. Soon.

Today's WOD - Tabata Bottom to bottom squats 1 min rest Hand release pushups (did them on my knees) 1 min rest Pull ups/Ring rows (I did ring rows) 1 min rest Butterfly sit ups No recollection of my scores for any of the exercises (or my total reps), but I was a hot, sweaty mess at the end!! Oh, and the strength before the…

Awesome work!!!!!

Looking forward to today!!! 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3 – 3, For Load: Power Snatch I struggle with snatches so I'm hoping that I can start to "get it", if that makes any sense!!

I'm currently going 3 times each week - Tues, Wed and Friday. On my off days, I do yoga and walk. Very soon, I will be getting back to running as I train for my next two half marathons. My coach is good about helping me work in my running and scale my CF workouts accordingly.

Posted this on my profile yesterday but wanted to post it here, as well: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Deadlifts scaled to 85# Bar facing burpees I was dreading this WOD all day. Burpees are the thing that, more than any other thing we do in CF, make me feel like the fat girl. It took me 17:15 but I didn't quit and I got it done!!…

Keep reporting her to the mods. I got my PM from Jane on July 1 (while I was on vacation) and is was nearly the exact same PM I had previously gotten from Health_Gal, so it was immediatly forwarded to Olivia. If she has multiple accounts (and I think we all know that she does), she is in violation of the TOS of the site.…

Just adding my voice to the chorus! I've been doing CF 3x/week for the last several months now and I agree with all that has already been posted and would add that form should always come before speed. If your form is breaking down (and your coach should tell you when it is doing just that), scale it down or slow it down.…

Today's WOD is bound to be one that brings me to tears of frustration: 20 min max effort - 5 Jump Squats 4 Parallette Shoot Throughs 3 Burpees 2 Wall Walks 1 Turkish Get-Up (55lbs/35lbs) Shoot throughs are the devil and burpees are my arch nemesis.
