  • We did a "reverse" Filthy fifty yesterday. I really need to work on endurance. I've only been back for a few weeks after 3 months off from surgery, but doing the burpees second instead of second to last wiped me out for the rest of the workout. I "only" added 10 minutes to my time from a year ago, but still. I thought I'd…
  • This is pretty much it. Other than getting messages invalidating our work, it does nothing. As long as you track accurately, you do not have to press that button.
  • Oh man, now I want this. Maybe for lunch.
  • Weigh daily just to see, record once a week.
  • My response is always the same. "Really, I was just thinking you could lose a few more." When they're insulted, ask them why what they said wasn't insulting.
  • Say, "That's really funny, I was just thinking you could stand to lose a few pounds." When they're insulted, ask them why they didn't think what they said was insulting. Congrats on all your hard work.
  • No, it's your a s s that makes your butt look big.
  • Doesn't matter, I'm just here so I don't get fined.
  • I've been watching Craigslist and racks and Olympic weights appear pretty regularly, but seem to drop off just as fast. Keep an eye on there and be ready to make an offer if/when they show up. You'll save hundreds of dollars that way.
  • Bacon and eggs, especially after a work out. Sometimes just cheerios and coffee.
  • Well the Stronglifts 5x5 program is a 3-day program. Math tells me there would be 4 rest days. The program does actually say to "Rest" on the rest days. But his focus is strictly on getting stronger, and he has no interest in developing other aspects of fitness.
  • Wow, what happened to "Program for the best, scale for the rest." There's quite a few athletes, myself included, that couldn't Rx most of those movements. Double Unders, muscle ups, T2B, are just a few. Everyone did the workouts, but we all scaled appropriately for our individual ability. Now, my box isn't "competition…
  • Yep. the Halo CE (original Halo) is the same as they released on Xbox 360 a few years ago, and it had that feature. I flip back a few times, if only because it's easier to spot the med packs on the old graphics. :smile: The Halo 2 remaster is new to this edition and is GORGEOUS! I'm replaying them in order, so I'm waiting…
  • I got it on Tuesday night, introducing my son to it. I'd love to say I'm reliving my childhood, but in reality I'm reliving my 30's.
  • Oh don't worry. My focus is healing and my sights are set on 2016.
  • Ddo you guys play video games? Yes What platform do you prefer? Xbox One Favorite genre? FPS Are you casual or hardcore? These days, casual How many hours do you play a week? 4-5 Favorite game of all time? Halo Single or multiplayer? Single (but I do play multiplayer w/friends, not random players) Do you read gaming…
  • We did "Jack" yesterday. I only did 65# and a 1 pood kettlebell, but my box jumps were awesome (if I say so myself). Today we have a 7,000 G2OH challenge. Again, going light, so it looks like 75# @ 94 reps.
  • Mixed. On one hand I'm thrilled because I'd be able to "officially" participate. This year we did the open WODs as our Friday workout, so I would do them scaled. However, I'm having surgery on my arm in 5 weeks, and mostly likely won't be able to participate at all. My goal has been to get to the point where I can do the…
  • Isn't it $2.00 or something like that? I bought it, syncing works great. Well worth two bucks.
  • I've been reading up on it, but I'm leaning towards the Fitbit Surge. Just based on the descirptions/pictures/features I think that's the best option for me. I'm waiting for the Surge to be released and see real world comparisons between that and the MS Band.
  • Boo. I thought this was about Star Wars. It sounds like a Gazelle http://www.gazelleglider.com
  • I have a Jabra Clipper (http://www.amazon.com/Jabra-CLIPPER-Bluetooth-Stereo-Headset/dp/B0040X33SE) for a few years now. The main unit just clips to your shirt, then you can plug any set of earbuds or headphone into it. The earbuds that came with it are ok at best. I bought new ones and those sound great. I have to tuck…
  • I weigh daily, but I don't regularly take measurements. I really need to start that, at least monthly.
  • Well, I remember kids wearing "husky" pants back in the day. I think as a size it's gone more out of style, but it has been used in the past as a physical description. Somewhat along the lines of "big boned." That said, I'd be very happy with myself if I end up looking like Chris Pratt in the above picture.
  • Someone says to me "don't get too skinny" I'll sometimes respond with, "Don't get too fat!" I'm not really sure why one is viewed as more offensive than the other. <shrug> Seriously, though, we (collectively) are so used to seeing the morbidly obese we have a skewed sense of what "healthy weight" looks like. We think…
  • Go, eat, play, have fun. I went to Disney last month, had their full dining plan and ate more food that week than I ever would have thought. I gained 1 pound. Yes, we walked..A LOT...but still, I have memories of the trip, not of me spending all my time worrying about what to eat or not eat. Go and enjoy yourself.
  • I think it was. I remember 5 brackets, so 40-44, 45-49, 50-54, 55-59, and 60+ Locally we had a woman in the 60+. She finished 10th in the world.
  • I started a year and a half ago at 42. This is after 20 years of little to no activity, mostly because of an injury to my right arm that left me with very limited mobility (Range of motion is limited to about 30 - 90 degrees). Before CrossFit I would go to a regular gym, lift using machines or some dumbbells, then get to a…
