back squat pr (we're testing this week) I've gone from 55# to 75# since may! back squat is always the most intimidating for me, because I'm working with herniated discs and nerve/muscle damage

not quite 5pm here in seattle and it is a lovely 67F :happy:

I use MyWOD. It has all the named wods plus you can adjust or add your own, and it keeps track of your pr's and if it was rx. I don't know how much it actually costs, I bought in on Memorial Day when it was 99 cents. I'm pretty sure there is an android version.

Hello everybody! I'm Jena from Burien (right by the seatac airport for those not in the know)

This enormous fish! 19.5 lbs.

I have had 3 kids, jumping is a scary prospect. However I am not allowed to jump so, WHEW!

I do farmer's carry a LOT to work on grip strength. Usually with full 5 gallon water jugs. I also set up a bar with fairly heavy weight between two boxes and practice gripping it and just lifting an inch or two for a count of 10. It's paid off, I can hold on much longer now than when I started a few months ago. I actually…

oh yeah, and mine is done on top of brown on top of growing out bleached. does that make sense? i bleached it for 2 years, then grew it out about 3 months, then did light brown, then thought that was ugly and went purple/pink. Still shows up pretty well!

This is from about two weeks ago, it's fading into lighter shades now. I use 1:1 ratio of 'N Rage Purple Plum and Crimson Red. It starts off deep purple and eventually fades to a rosy pink after 3 or 4 weeks

I have a 2 year old teeny tiny (less than 3lbs) toy chihuahua. She's super calm unless a non-family member is near the kids, then she sounds vicious and 10x her size.

well, i'm only 33....but i do lift heavy nearly every day and eat 1800+ calories :)

I'm a work in progress, only been lifting a couple months

potato chips m&m's pepperoni sticks all of the above I will consume an entire package of in one sitting

anything I don't do at the gym or outside. cleaning, walking the mall, etc.

I only wear chucks. I have several pairs, but for crossfit I usually wear these ones

my skin tight spandex workout pants are now baggy at the waist and knees I no longer get winded carrying the groceries in (we live across the parking lot and 3 flights down from the car) I can lift my 60lb. son to hug him tight and he feels light (he's been "too heavy" to pick up for the past 4 years) none of my shorts are…

work in progress Before: 206lbs, size 16 (12/2011) During: 183lbs, size 12 (05/2012)

pretty much everything today! It is my husband's 35th b'day :bigsmile: biscuits and gravy with hash browns hamburgers and potato chips cocktails chinese seafood hot pot with rice noodles (at least this was homemade and mostly healthy) vanilla cake with chocolate buttercream snickerdoodle ice cream back to healthful eating…

I just started learning it, one piece at a time, using a plastic dowel. I can't do much more than the dowel though, because even that little jump is hard on my back so adding weight will probably paralyze me :P

90% of the women at my box have had kids, it's a common problem :)

'78!

EMOM day (all at 75% of max 1rep): a)DL x6 for 6min. b)front rack lunge x12 for 6min. c)push press x6 for 6min. d) 125m row for 6min.

2 or 3 times a month, taking a family of 5 out to eat is too expensive!

silly socks and Chucks

25, 28, and 29

I'm doing a different program at my box, Strength/Speed/Skill, so we do more work less WOD. Today: warm up: Cindy 12min. to work on any two gymnastic movements 12 min.: strict push-ups with weight, L-hang (or sit), ring rows (all to fatigue), 45s. rest in between 1000m row for time

typically between 400 and 700, it's been as high as 900 a few times. On average though about 600.

If I can do it with a back injury and the limitations that go along with it, after about 15 years of inactivity, anybody can!

2 herniated discs and atrophied pillar muscles, I can't take the impact. No running or jumping for me :(

5'8" HW: 206 CW: 183 GW: 165, but I'm in no rush
