Recipe is 'all of the above". I often like to mix in a little HP, or A1, Worcestershire sauce too. Sometimes it's Italian herbs, sometimes just salt/pepper. One recipe I'll chop up some pickels and mix in. Sometimes grate up some zucchini or carrot. Just anything and everything really. It's hamburger - it's pretty…

While untrue you are the only one missing out with this attitude. If you try it, you'll either love it or hate it. If you love it, then eventually you'll come to understand why crossfitters start to use good strength programs that work in conjunction with their crossfit. It's called a hybrid programming - much like outlaw.…

0.194 kg is 194 grams. I generally find stuff here http://nutritiondata.self.com/ Then try to find in mfp. Words like steak are going to send you off on someone else's garbage input. Need to use "beef, top, round," type search string. Then cooked or amount of fat (lean) etc. I've also noticed that stuff with * at the…

Also, all of this type of discussion can be found here too. http://www.board.crossfit.com/ But you'll probably find more sensible comments (both for an against) without it being 2000 posts per minute. Less people will have an agenda. Trolls have a 0 calorie quota. Most understand high rep and dangers. You'll find more…

So, as you can probably summarize from this thread - people can be quite passionate about CrossFit in either directions. What I've found is that one will either love it or hate it. They'll know within a month of doing it. Not all boxes are created equal either - so if you find a coach(es) you enjoy and feel safe doing,…

While I agree with the high rep stuff and the Olympic lift schemes can be dangerous due to a major breakdown in form and increasing the potential to snap our **** up - generalizing crossfit in a blanket statement as dangerous is a bit unfair. A large number of people within the crossfit community will agree these…

I don't measure it at all. I regulate what goes in by what comes out or how I feel. If I drink too much I'll visit the bathroom all day (and sometimes are busting at the seems) with a clear fire hose stream - worse yet I have to get up 3 times at night - but not enough and I won't go, or when I do it's dark or weak. I can…

I'd go back to last Friday and buy a different set of lottery numbers.

Save your money - especially if you aren't going to buy quality because you kind of get what you pay for with the powders. The cheap stuff is full of fillers (corn syrup etc) and the protein sources are questionable. You're also already eating enough protein through natural sources. The 1-1lb ratio is nonsense - where is…

You can do both. Here's the thing, the weightlifters will eat it caloric excess (to a point where their body is fueled and not gaining fat) to increase size, mass and in return, strength. While doing this, their cardio levels are very low and perhaps simply a 2 mile weighted vest walk 3 times a week. Nothing too much. But…

I log 30 cals evertime I take a shower and have to wash my hair.

Your ratios of BF% to weight may not work. They result in approximately the same amount of lean mass and it is unlikely you'll meet this goal. What is more likely to happen, is that if you target weight loss only, then your lean mass will also decrease so once you're at 123#, you BF% may still be above 20% because the lean…

I like Under Armour boxer briefs/jocks (original). They're about $20 at D-i-c-k's or Sports Authority. I also prefer the 6" or 9" leg inseam. Never tried the 3 ... they just seem a bit too brief for my taste. There are higher priced ones and ones made of mesh, but they are lemons IMHO> These are them.…

Only one of us is trying to help here. And when did I ever become concerned with your goals. Thanks for the words of encouragement. God bless you. Clearly the "if" is reality too.

Perhaps not one piece of equipment, but a small collection ? Some ideas for equipment. - some sort of weight, be it kettle bell or dumbell (They are interchangeable, but it is easier to swing etc a KB than a DB, so I'd do KB). - some sort of step (to jump on, step on and even dip on) - some sort of resistance bands (these…

What sort of space and budget are we talking here ? And what are your goals ? The power racks, barbell and plates are great but take up a lot of space (and will pizz your neighbors off too, so you''l need a platform as well). It will cost $$$$ Elieko is friggen expensive too and probably a complete waste of money for…

No idea what glucide is - I assume it's some sort of fast-acting carb. I don't really believe too strongly in this post and pre-workout nutrition having a great deal of affect on your workout. So long as you get enough food throughout the day, then you should have enough energy. I workout on an empty stomach all the…
