  • 62:11 I did need to do assisted pull ups though. Pretty happy as I am 3 months in and kept a good constant pace. Final mile I was gassed tho!

  • Sounds like Health_gal to me. I think she should be reported as she is spamming anyone who likes talking crossfit!

  • I use really cheap Gold Gym gloves from Walmart (literally no padding) as it helps me to concentrate on my form and avoid slippery hands as a reason for dropping the bar. I know its not very macho, but if I feel my skin rip it breaks my concentration and gives me an excuse to stop.

  • Yo I totally got that msg my 1st day joining MFP from health_gal. I immediately wrote on the board "NIX DOES CROSSFIT" Then immediately I received an email that says "I AM NOT A VIRUS" from her. I wrote back "SMELLS LIKE A VIRUS" and blocked her.

  • Well said! I agree that your viewpoint is a frank and honest take on our society. How many people jumped on Kristie Alley when she lost weight as unhealthy and just for the money, then laughed at her when she regained weight! And Kim Kardashian (who I hate using as an example) and Jessica Simpson were being ATTACKED…

  • The time limit really makes it into a game for me! Just as long as you have proper form, this really makes you sweat like crazy and is a great way to not take it easy at the box. Give it a shot; if you are not able to finish it is just motivation to push harder next time.

  • Here is a rather long post. As a person who have seen both side of the spectrum within a 3 year period I can provide this insight. I started off 3 years ago at 280 lbs, got mad at myself, then dropped down to 250 pds in a few months. I then sharply dropped to 230 lbs and was rather muscular. I received compliments and…

  • Although you could guess the amount of calories burned, it's rather hard as its dependent on multiple things from muscle mass, reps, strength, weights used etc. It's kind of like trying to measure the outlook for how much you will drive for the week. You could say work is only 20 miles there and back exactly, but detours…
