I did it about 2 months ago rx in 46 something

135# Overhead squat @ 120# BW

woo hoo!

OOo thanks for posting that Boston!! I've recently been getting into indian food, love tikka masala

I was probably eating about 2000. I'm 53kg

You will not gain muscle if you ar eating at a deficit. In my personal experience, I ate as much as I could on paleo and lost a TON of body fat. It went from about 24% down to 14% in a matter of 2-3 months. Eating quality foods will lose your body fat, but eat enough of them so that you're not going down on your lifts

I can almost guarantee he didn't do them to crossfit standards. That's what games level athletes do. A lot of people consider a burpee just going down as far as a plank or top of pushup position, that's probably what he did if this was at the Y Then again maybe he's a beast. Still, 24 is great, more than what most people…

Yes. Good rep max for a minute. 8 months ago mine was 22. I should re test it. Good job!

Hi Kathy! Welcome! You are doing ALL the right things!! I know it's hard, but try not to even worry about the number on the scale for a while. In fact, have someone hide it for you for a couple of months. The ONLY thing that should matter right now is - Do you feel more healthy? Are you gaining strength and endurance? (I…

I've done programming for two boxes now. There is *usually* a method to the madness if you've got a good owner/coach. Crossfit is all about being constantly varied, so if things made *too* much sense, then it would negate the main principle of being prepared for the unknown. At the L1 and L2 certifications, this is how we…

favs are helen, nancy, jackie least fav (so far) kelly & karen

I prefer using just a small notebook from dollar tree. I'd track your other wods too. It's nice to revisit them after a couple of months and smash your previous record

Deadlifts work the back a ton, snatches work the back in the first half of the movement. You're good. Being sore is good :)

COMPLETELY NORMAL. deadlifts are SUPPOSED to work your back, along with your butt and hamstrings. It doesn't mean you have to be equally sore in those other spots.

i bought the Reebok CF gloves because my hands would get so sore. I eventually stopped using them and instead used the Fit4s because the gloves were just too hard to keep a firm grip on the bar. as far as how you should be gripping, most people tend to have the top of the bar at the top of their palm/bottom of their…

my fav are the reebok skinny racer bras. they just changed it to be called something else but they're just as good

inkratlet - i've been wanting to do a burpee mile for my upcoming birthday :) how long did the 400 take?

i did something similar. I spent every other day practicing. i'd set the timer for 10 minutes and count how many i could get in that time. the key is just practice once you finally get your first one.

6-9x a week

Most ive been to don't!

for me, no, i doubt it, it was all over

I started getting bacne once i started crossfit too...never had it before. it's kind of not as bad anymore, maybe my body got used to sweating

This is something you should approach your coach about. he/she can show you loads of mobility moves that will help. Some people start out less flexible than others, but give it 2 weeks and you'll be loosened up.

Or how about the girl who rxed it with ONE ARM in only 25 mins. Unbelievable

You are a beast Alysa!

Omg! An hour and a half! That's nuts. I'm shooting for 20 mins or less

i wonder what the high fives signifies

clusters are awful

lol. I'd take almost anything over thrusters.

I hope you're right Boston!
