Jeez that looks rough. Enjoy!

I have no real problem with the cooking, I just do it in bulk. I cooked a few pounds of chicken tenders last night and portioned them off, so now I have 4 meals worth of meat that can either go in a salad or get heated up to eat with some vegetables for dinner. I also use the crockpot to make large portions of chili or…

our box is air conditioned, as it's part of a regular gym. That said I think you're doing it right. Keep yourself hydrated and slow down when you need to and your body will continue to adjust itself to what you are demanding of it. FWIW, I'm almost always an evening workout guy, but when I spend my vacation week at the…

My wife is the same. Once I get back to ETP I'll pretty much eat the same but ramp up the carbs on workout days with rice, potatoes etc.
-
You said it yourself. You thought something was wrong with your heel and "pushed through it" and ended up on the shelf for 5 weeks. If I were you I'd be reducing my weights to something relatively light and working on form. If mobility is impacting form, work on mobility first. I usually go 3x a week and am there another…

You have to eat more. The only other way it ends is you binging. No one has the will power to resist hunger constantly.
-
Eat more, especially protein and fat (in controlled portions, of course.) If you are that hungry after your workouts it's because your body is demanding the building blocks needed to repair itself after your workouts. Also note that Crossfit (which I've done for 2 years)in and of itself isn't going to help you lose weight,…

about 3 miles. 15-20 minute drive because I'm traversing a big intersection at rush hour but it's not too bad.
-
it's really not that bad. And I do it this strict for our challenges but I'll add in some cheese when it's over. I really just need to avoid breads, etc. They tend to bloat me and make me feel like crap. Beer does that too to some extent but I'd rather die than give that up.
-
I have some friends who are chiros. I'm gonna ping them to get their take but I'm totally open to it.
-
Generally speaking I need to eat about 2 hours before I put in a hard workout or I'm going to feel sick to my stomach. If I have to get some calories I'll do a protein shake, which doesn't sit there like food would :)
-
If you have a question, put sedentary. Then you can adjust as needed if you find you're hungry constantly and need more calories.
-
Youtube is your friend as well. You can good some good programs, then look for examples of how to properly do the exercises on Youtube. that should give you some idea. As othes have said, you won't get bulky. You don't have the testosterone for it :)
-
I'm 6'3 and have monstrous calves. But I'm a dude, so that's OK :)
-
You have GREAT legs. They aren't the problem
-
After dying during last night's WOD, I will ramp up carbs a bit more pre-workout. Yes, lots of sweet potato.
-
Pretty much going low carb for the month. As of this morning I have lost 7 lbs since we weighed in on Monday, though a lot of this is water leaving as I cut my carb intake. . And yesterday I ate 2784 calories. 99g of carbs, 151 grams of fat, 246 grams of protein. Monday I ate 2833 (65/174/237), Tuesday just over…

Second day of testing for the start of our challenge. Max handstand hold (I will sub in max plank hold) Then: "Sprints" 4 Rounds, starting at 0-6-12-18 minute marks: 400 m Run 12 Front Squats (115/75) 20 m Burpee Broad Jump Since my knees have been giving me constant problems I will sub in a 500m row for each round instead…

At some point very soon I'm going to start getting some deep tissue stuff done to help jumpstart my front rack issues. Many of them come from the tricep/lats insert position. I'm guessing someone getting in there and loosening up stuck muscles and fascia will go a long way (and will be so exquisitely painful that tears…
-
My ex- took some kind of iron supplement for old people (Geritol?) on doctor's orders and it still made not a lick of difference.
-
History repeats itself. Last time I did a Paleo challenge I tweaked something in my left calf doing the first test workout. Same thing last night. Didn't even really feel it until I got home and cooled down. Going to go do some flossing and mobility tonight and some light cardio (rowing/elliptical) just to get a sweat…
-
Welcome back Quinn. Baby steps, ramp yourself up over time and you'll be fine.
-
One of our athletes took the L1 this weekend (with Austin Malleolo) and he just came off knee surgery and can do nothing heavy or with impact on his knees. I'm sure he passed with flying colors.
-
You and be both, sister. I can do it on occassion and for a reason, but never by choice.
-
We are starting out Paleo challenge today, this is one of our test workouts that we will retest at the end of the challenge. DT Burnout: 3 rounds for time 12 Deadlifts 9 Hang Power Cleans 6 Jerks. 155/105. I might scale to 135 as 155 is about 80% of my 1RM hang power clean.
-
Damned shame. She's one of my favorite athletes and I'm pretty certain this was her last shot before she starts her residency. On a side note, this is also why I do NOT jump down off of boxes or do jump overs. Usually if it's a longer WOD I'm stepping up and then stepping down on the other side. I don't really care about…
-
I think is more of a female thing. I'll occasionally get them doing reps of heavy hang cleans, but it's very rare. My wife, who doesn't really work out at all, bruises all the time. My ex-wife would bruise if you breathed on her too hard.
-
When you rip one that loud, you just have to own it.
-
^Completely agree. There are a few times I ran over to the locker room midWOD to avoid doing exactly that. Usually I clear the pipes before the workout, but on rare occassions.......it happens.
-
I had no idea until just now.......I was going no matter what. Oly Complex 1 Hang Squat Clean + 3 Front Squat Work toward a max set. "Over Easy" AMRAP 14 4 T2B 8 Burpees 12 Box Jump Overs 24/20 Scale T2B and box height as needed.
