  • GREAT JOB!
  • Advanced Performance CrossFit (APC) Wadsworth, OH
  • This was the first WOD that I was extremely disappointed with my score. I just felt like I could have done more. I was at 152, and like many of you mentioned, I only finished the wallballs at around 11:31. I didn't No Rep much, just exhausted. UGH! So, I tried it again on Sunday and did WORSE! I No Repped about 40 times…
  • After 8 months of CrossFit, I finally got an unassisted pull-up! Took me that long. I can string together 3, kipped. In that same week, I also got my handstand push-up (with a kip). The Open has pushed me ot do more. Love it! I can't figure out DUs. I was doing them decently for a while - up to 15, and now I can barely do…
  • My WOD is 6:30am and I only drink a pre-workout drink - Assault by MusclePharm - not that I'm advertising for them...but Mango is very good - not too sweet. I drink Protein or take BCAAs right after and then go home to breakfast.
  • 213 on Thursday. Tried to better my score on Saturday, but only did 203. My back was fried! I need to watch my form on my deadlifts. I come all the way up, but bend my back instead of pushing my butt out!
  • Morning! I pay $125+tax for unlimited but they did just increase it for new members but I am not sure what the new price is. I think 2 days a week was $85 and 3 was $105 or something like that. They discount it 5-10% if you pay 6months/1year up front. I hear it's actually one of the lowest prices in my area, and I'm in a…
  • fuzzieme - thank you Thatfitgal, you gave your age, so sissiluv, I'd also say 20's....maybe 21/22
  • Wow, Murph19, you look great for North of 30! dbiddle69 - 39
  • I drank the Kool-Aid and went from 2 to 3 to 6 days a week now (I'm 7 months in). I'm 46 years old and have had one injury so far (KNOCK ON WOOD). I overdid it on deadlifts and sat out for 4 days with a sore back. I have a desk job, so I feel the need to be consistent with something. My Box does a good job of changing…
  • My first time at this, I had a 3-day headache starting around the second or third day. Even aspirin/tylenol/etc wouldn't take it away. WELL WORTH THE 3 DAYS, THOUGH! Just hang on and drink lots of water.
  • My CrossFit class is at 6:30am and I do an IF everyday from 8:30p - 12:30p the next day. If you read leangains, he recommends that you take a BCAA before and after your workout. It helps your performance but won't break your fast. I did the IF for about a month and stopped for a few weeks (personal reasons), but have been…
  • My weight/height is similar and I am looking to lose 20-25 more. Now, I just posted that today is not a good one. I purchased Halloween candy this morning and can't keep my hands out of it. My motivation will be my CrossFit Clean Eating competition. It starts Saturday and I am with a group! You can't let the group down, so…
  • I agree with Eat2Live2Run. I have been doing CrossFit for 4 months now. Paleo about 80/20 for 4 weeks. Start with the CrossFit and ease your way into Paleo if it interests you you don't have to go all or nothing - it's about making good/better choices and getting healthy. I love CrossFit. It's a great combination of…
  • AGREE with this. I'm on week 3 - more primal (I do eat some dairy). I am encouraging my kids to eat this way as well, and if I can get them 50/50 every bit helps. Why wouldn't you? It's much better than the junk they usually get. There are tons of great websites that explain the lifestyle (yes, lifestyle, not diet) and…
  • I'm just going into week 3 of paleo/primal. I'd say I am about 90/10. I haven't been able to give up my coffee/sugar free creamer. I am also a runner and do CrossFit (was 2 days, now up to 3 and will probably add). I waited until I completed a 1/2 marathon at the end of summer to start. Here are my observations so far.....…
  • 46 and I feel better than I did when I was in my 20s! Californiagir - You look amazing!
  • Look Up Jeff Galloway's website and follow his beginner training schedule. He promotes run/walk. I have been following it and my 1/2 marathon is September 29. You've got another month more than that to train. He has you running 3 times a week with a long run every other weekend. If you take a look at it, I think you would…
  • I'm right there with you. First one at 25 - He's 20, soon to be 21. And, my little guy is 6. I had him at 39. @fatboypup - the person who said 'nothing like being a senior citizen at high school graduation - I look better and am probably in better health than 1/2 the 35 year olds at my son's school. Just sayin':laugh:
  • Please add me to the group! Thanks!
