  • I love rowing! Thankfully that is, because I hate running and am terrible at it. Rowing can leave me winded and on some intervals, with the "fran cough" for the day. I hate most things overhead. OHS, full snatches, and HSPU. Goals of mine for 2015 are to perfect form in all 3 and not worry so much about weight.

  • Karen is my nightmare WOD! I used to really like doing WB's and now I get anxious when I see them in a WOD. I liked it when I did it early on with a 10# ball and now doing it RX, I hate it. If your technique was good, thats a HUGE accomplishment.

  • I know exactly what you're talking about! I have several friends who do the TRX type of classes and love to tell me they do CF. I ask what kind of weights are involved and they smartly tell me that they use kettlebells and do body weight squats. I want to scream at them! Mind you, I've seen some of the videos they post on…

  • Im registered too! I began CF last year around the time by box was doing the Open. I was super intimidated but am really excited now! I'll probably time out on anything with T2B or C2B pull-ups, but oh well.

  • That is a GREAT first Fran time, wow! great work. I love Fran. It's my favorite benchmark WOD. Strange, I know.

  • Someone from CF sent me this link to a podcast featuring the guy who created ETP (eat to perform). Its lenghty but makes sense and his explinations on how he eats on the days he trains, the days off, and on rest days was really helpful to me. The biggest mistake I was making when I started CF was undereating. If you have…

  • Today's WOD made me re-fall in love with Crossfit again. Not sure why, because I dont love any of the movements, but it felt really good for some reason! 20 minute AMRAP of: 5 reps of thruster at 135/95 lb 10 reps of C2B pull-up 200 m run I got 6+2 with #65 for the thruster and did a 250M row instead of the run because its…

  • This is a great question, one I have been wondering about myself. I am winding down the last few months with my first pair of minimalists, which have been great, but as stated above, arent great for swift movements or burpees or anything to do with a wall walk or run. I have tried on some Nano's and dont think they're that…

  • Lose about 20. Your explanation makes sense. Thanks again!
    in Why you gain weight if you eat more than your cut Comment by Jelymu81 September 2014
  • Thanks for your help, heybales. So on days where Im active I should eat my TDEE + what MFP adds back as calories? For instance, today my workout burned 454 calories; I should be eating that in addition to my 1,800, correct?
    in Why you gain weight if you eat more than your cut Comment by Jelymu81 September 2014
  • Question for the group - If you are eating your TDEE daily (mine is 1,900) and you work out and lift heavy, do you all eat your deficit back or still eat your 1,800 calories consistently every day and on days you work out, nothing more? Having trouble figuring it out. Im obviously hungrier on a day where I've worked out…
    in Why you gain weight if you eat more than your cut Comment by Jelymu81 September 2014
  • Hi, are you new to lifting? If so, it takes a while for the "muscle memory" to kick in and start showing definition and not just be retaining water. For me personally, it took about 5 months of consistent lifting and training (mostly Crossfit) to see noticeable definition. Keep at it though, it'll come! Also, jaeone is…
    in Accidental arm bulking :( Comment by Jelymu81 September 2014
  • Hi, I log my WOD's in sections. Im not sure how your box does their programming, but I assume its similar to every other where its broken into a warm-up, strength/conditioning, WOD, and cool down. I break up my log in just the same (I usually omit the warm up, unless its a long row or run) I log the strength portion as…

  • Side (twisted) Crow! Im getting pretty good at regular Crow, so hoping by Fall. BTW - Anyone know of any good / fast power vinyasa yoga dvds? I've bought a few on Amazon used and all are pretty dull and slow. Thanks all! `
