Open 2019
Hey all! Group's been a little bit slow, and to be fair I haven't been posting in MFP boards in a while, but I figured I may as well re-introduce myself with a thread about this year's open! It's not quite as hyped as it has been in the previous years due to all the changes going on at crossfit HQ and the new sanctioned…

It's a tender set of sore muscles we got!
Puns with september are hard, dude! I gotta say I am pretty happy with my past 2 sessions Saturday Work up to a heavy barbell snatch 75, 85, 90, 95, 100 all OK, failed 105 twice. Stripped down to 85 again and hit it, then went to 102.5 and made it! It's my old PR, so no new record but I'll take it. Then I did an every 2…

August another day at the gym!
New month, new thread, new beginnings and all that wazzoo :) Today I derailed a little from the plan, and decided to start with some snatch skill work.

When July in bed all day because the heat won't go away... Go to the gym! [Workout Thread]
Please forgive me for 1. Not posting this one sooner and 2. The terrible title. I have been sidelined by a minor concussion since Saturday night. Spent 3 hours and some change at the ER only to be told my symptoms were not serious enough to warrant a scan, was offered a doctor's note for a few days off work and declined,…

January-lly committed, good things will come (Check-in Thread)
I just came up with the pun on the fly. My pun-skills have leveled up, I think! Haha :) So I kicked off the new year with a 40ish min DDP yoga workout (strength builder. This one usually leaves my abs sore for a few days xD). And I decided to tack on an accumulation of 2018 single arm alternating KB swings (with the 35…

We Octobe(e)r moving forward! Lifting thread
No one else did it, so uh, do you guys like beer? Cuz I don't like beer much, haha. I figured, after almost everyone struggled through September, we oughta be moving forward. Keep on keeping on, ladies! :) In my case that meant going back at it yesterday after I forced myself to rest 2 days due to a neck tweak. It was the…

September-time we work our butts off!

June-no what's good for you: go lift weights! [Workout check-in]
Although I gotta say, maybe I should've stayed in bed this morning xD Really bad TOM day, nuff said. Every 20s for 3 minutes (+1 to make 10) broad jumps. Mostly stayed within the 70' range, some jumps were utterly missed though, because, well, y'know... Deadlift 137.5x3, 155x3, 175x12 (rep goal was 14, but I just could not…

Workout check-in: You all deserve a (p)real good hand of applause! :)
For keeping up with it, and persevering, and just overall showing up! Don't be a fool and think what you're doing isn't worth it. It all adds up. Keep going! (Runner ups for the pun of the month were: A(p)really silly workout thread, or April-ling foray into working out (thrilling, prilling, yeah, that,s why it's a runner…

January 2016 Goals: Start it off with a bang!
Long term goods are good, but to get there you need a road map: short term goals time! 1. Be below 195lbs by the end of the month. Shouldn't be *too* hard. 2. Do yoga and some LISS form once a week each. Especially when I miss my daily walk due to weather (will try not to let that happen) 3. Go ice skating at least once!…

2016 Goals-A-Gogo!
Nobody else did it, so I'm just going to go ahead and take the plunge. ;) I have a crappy track record with being the first to state my wishes (but then again, I just have a bad track record, period), so let's make these achievable, shall we? Lifting/Fitness Stats (all in lbs): - Squat 220 (current 205) - Bench 165…

Ja-new-ary(ou) in the making: Workout Check-in
Smack me on the head if you will. Ha! Back at GBB (week #4 of it), but this time around I'm using Wendler 5/3/1 as my strength work. Since GBB is 5 days a week, I'll be doing rows on the 5th day :) Squats 5/5/5+ 120x5 140x5 157.2x9 - almost decided to go for 10, but I didn't want to force any reps since my low back hasn't…

2015 Goals!
New Year, new you, new goals! This thread will be meant for long-term (whole year) goal, just like we did last year! So you can be a bit more vague and ambitious than with January! I already reviewed my 2014 goals in December's thread (ouch) but here's a short summary to begin with (also, my December goals were a fiasco…

The Bro-ctober workout thread; SUPAHSET!
*Gun shots* (If you don't know bro-science... You're seriously missing out! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qnjYyfkcaNI Channel Link) It's time to train arms! I mean, our full bodies (and skip leg day.. wait, no! Don't!) And for me that means a second rest day in a row because I have been overreaching a bit. TOM + seasonal…

It's goal-tember! Get yo' ducks in a row!
(Before they fly away for winter...) So I haven't seen a September goal thread. Heck, I don't recall seeing one in August (not that I cared then). And I haven't actually had goals to follow since the shoulder injury. I've just been drifting and that never ends well *glances at the scale and cringes*. I have a doctor's…

Don't be a Fool - Set April Goals!
Didja really think I wasn't going to set goals? Bahaha! Riiight. No but seriously, this month's goals, for me, will be things I can attain without too much effort. I've been failing so hard lately I need the boost. And I'm limiting myself to 5 to avoid stretching out too far. 1. Walk/run 50 miles total. 2. Do 20+ minutes…

Challenge: 15 in 15 weeks, in 2015!
I'm a little late posting this as I wanted to gauge interest around my friend list first, but since the only people that replied all hang out around here, I figured this was the place. The rundown? It's 2015. What better year to decide to go for 15s? That's the theme! It's simple: you set yourself a goal to accomplish…

Daily Check-in : It's the Fitness Fever-ary
Please don't throw tomatoes for the pun as I am in no shape to dodge them. I just spent 2 hours in the gym! First I knocked out GBB 21 40/20 intervals (with 2x30# KBs) - Hand release push-ups x 15/15/14 - One leg Romanian deadlift x 11/12/13 - KB alternating rows x 12/10/9 Then 4 rounds of 2min AMRAPs - Burpee broad jumps…

January Goals
Well I wasn't ready to post these yesterday and apparently no one's posted a thread for this one in the mean time, so here goes! (Obviously will be more specific than the year goals!) - Get down to 195lbs by the end of the month. This is a bit aggressive but the Holiday bloat hasn't been around for *that* long so it should…

Daily check-in: December why you started!
Ha. Well, I didn't know what else to say. So. Remember... December. It's as close to a good pun I could come up with! Sorry! Today was Bench 5/3/1 day! 100x5 112.5x3 125x1 130x1 135x1 140x1 -- and it felt like I could've kept going up with the singles but I didn't have infinite time here so I called it in 100x9 Then…

December Goals
So I skipped November, as some of you may have noticed, but I am back for this last month! First off, a small retrospect of the year: Allow me to erupt in hysterical laughter for half a second here. Bwahaha! Okay, done. So... - Pull-up: not going to happen this year... - Bench bodyweight: err... - Squat over 200lbs: close,…

Body Balance App
So I posted this on my feed but not all of you are friends so I figured I'd share this here too: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.doomonafireball.bodybalance Only for android for now is my understanding. It's pretty straightforward where you input your lifts and it tells you how much you should be lifting…

Workout check-in thread: You October-y Lifting Heavy!
You oughta be lifting heavy? Anyone? No? Fine, I'l head to my corner xD Today was Bench press 5/3/1+ and it was a sleepy... 5.5 hours of sleep. I think I'll trade in OHP and Bench so I can Bench on the weekends. I don't care about OHP that much xD 95x5 107.5x3 120x4 95x12 Moved on to 40/20intervals, 3 rounds of - KB sumo…

August workout check-in thread - August one more rep!
Yeah, that one is a bit of a stretch haha Today was a fairly simple workout but i ended up a good bit frustrated because I put on my "shortest" shorts. They're too short to do hang cleans correctly, the bar catches on my legs. I tried to chalk it down to no avail :( 20 minutes to work up to a heavy, unbroken complex of -…

August goals
Skipping goal threads is like skipping leg day! Bad form, guys! ;) I kid, I kid. I'll see if I can get a mod to sticky this one and unstick the June one! My goals are as follow: Last day of my program, I'd like to hit: - Snatch: 95lbs - Clean & jerk: 110lbs - Deadlift: 235lbs I also have a goal of no cheat day/meal until…

July workout check-in thread - Don't July about your PR
I hope it's okay that I started this one off? =D Simple and quick workout for me today, I'm going to help people clean and move in a bit so I kept it to the minimum. Power cleans 4 set of 95x2 4 sets of 100x2 form was a bit sloppy here again, but nothing backbreaking so I'm just gonna keep working on it! OHP 60x10 62.5x8…
