I would try the "Primal" way of eating before going strict paleo. it's basically paleo plus dairy.

omg, HUGE difference. my body fat went from 27% to 16% within about 2 months. My working out level stayed exactly the same as it was before. Food.is.everything. when it comes to how you actually look. well not *everything*, but at least 85%. yes it was definitely hard, but worth it! I now do it about 90% of the time, and…

yes, stop worry about counting calories and start worrying about the quality of foods you put in your face. I was at the point where I didn't want to lose any weight, but also wanted to get rid of a little belly fat. I kept my calories the same (actually I raised them a little) and ate strict paleo. I leaned up within a…

In response to the snatch not being functional... "functional" is making your body do what you tell it to. on demand. every time. the glenohumoral joint has the largest range of motion of any joint. it goes in a million different directions...for a reason. because we may need it in various positions at some point in our…

I did.

I truly have to believe that the people in the video were purposely using bad form..i mean come on...everyone in the class doesn't know how to do a clean? pretty sure it was a joke that unfortunately people are using as the real deal.

i created a crossfit option manually. I log 8 calories per minute and only log the wod. Ill log strength training separately.

I would really advise against trying to do any of the lifting without a trained coach to help you on form. I would also look for groupons/living social deals. I ALWAYS see crossfit boxes on there.

lmaooo...that's awesome

testing my new 1rm next week! congrats on your PR!!

No sadly you won't see results in 5 sessions, it's probably water!

Btw, that's how I had to start out too. I could do like 1 real pushup, but for a wod would do them at an incline. Now I can do 30 strict pushups unbroken!

I would not recommend doing pushups from the knee personally, but instead do them at an incline. Like put your hands on a bench and feet on the ground. You may even need to use something higher. The reason I say don't use knees is because it almost completely takes out the need for keeping your core tight and move as one…

That's awesome Jordy great job

They're all going to be pricey. Have you tried Craigslist? Also @ paleo chocolate, we built our own box, just got some wood from home depot. Just find a template online to show you what dimensions to cut

Yes You're supposed to regularly file them down.

"I ran for beer" ...that's great lol

Jordy, I just came back from my crossfit gymnastics certification and ttb were covered. First of all, before you move, activate your lats (pull down and forward on the bar). Think about almost trying to lay flat as you being your legs up. Secondly, take a few minutes each day to work on your hip flexor strength. Sit on the…

man that blows...my only other suggestion is to maybe bring a little spray or spritz bottle of water that you could use?

yes! instead of just doing 1 milers each time you run, try doing different things...like...monday do a mile, wednesday go to a HS track and do sprint intervals (50m, 100m, 200m a couple times each, time yourself each time and aim to take off a second or so each time). friday maybe run 3/4 mile where you spend 10 seconds…

mine never get sweaty, they definitely are dry when i'm on the bar, but it's never been a grip issue. I don't use chalk, but I have once and definitely had an even better grip. You can use the chalk even though you're not sweaty. Have you tried that? maybe it will help

what kind of grip are you doing? thumb around the bar or thumb on the same side as the rest of the fingers? thumb around will give you more grip.

woah! good for you!!! that's amazing

my first is on Saturday! So i'm in the same boat...also a partner comp they announced the wods a couple days ago so yesterday my partner and I ran through all of them and we did really well here was ours wod 1 row 1000m (split however you want) thruster and burpee bar jump over ladder 10 minute cap. she's a better rower…

honestly a small notebook is the easiest way to go because sometimes it can take a long time to enter in the wod on apps and site... so i use a small notebook that i bought at the dollar store, but i also use beyond the whiteboard when I think of it, but definitely to track lifting PRs because it analyzes your progress.

Eating clean is what makes the number go down, crossfit just makes you healthy , strong, and fit, which should be way more important to you than a number.

Forget about the number, does your body look bigger?

These lifters and the lifter pluses are the shiznit. http://shopcrossfitreebok.com/footwear/mens-footwear/mens-lifters.html also I have a 30% off code that works on them plus free shipping. message me if you want the code.

I have the same problem. I am on a paleo diet, and eat fruits and veggies, but at the end of the day I only have about 1/3 or half of the carbs that I really need. need to eat more sweet potatos :)

Great plan!
