  • If you've been Crossfitting that long I'm sure you've heard of the paleo diet. Why not give it a try? For a lot of people it is what really helps them get over that hump. Lose the oatmeal, bread, sandwiches, rice, yogurt, etc. and replace with WHOLE eggs (not just the white), lots of veggies, lots of fat like avocados,…
  • This isn't going to get you the results you need. I'm assuming you're doing this because you don't want to "bulk up" your arms while you're still losing fat.

I've gotten incredibly strong (can deadlift 265 lbs, power clean my body weight at 135 pounds, etc.) but can also do pullups, hand stand walks, and other awesome…

  • No, but I'd like to know also. I'd been trying to sort of parse them out (like if a WOD had running in it, record a certain amount of running), I've also used "General Circuit Training" when all else fails. One thing I don't like about MFP is that strength workouts don't give you any calorie amount. As if lifting weights…
