Crossfit???

Colton, No worries keeping the fire going. We'll have some kool-aid for you when you're ready muahahahahaha! Check into the gym in a box and look into the Oly lifts if your old man is that close, totally worth it! I hear you about the atmosphere though, definately amazing in a crossfit box a opposed to a normal gym. Plateaus happen but then you break though, I was stuck forever at 405 dl and 2wks ago I got 445. I hear you about the drive too, I work 20mi from my house and hate to see that mileage go up :sad: Only good thing is there's a gym on base and my box is 5min from my house

For AK do the before and after. I've been on a boat (navy) and I gotta say those civ boats look alot nicer...although your job is gonna be intense to say the least! Defiantely do the before and after and stay safe!

 

Anyone know of any good paleo diet books?

 

Fran today! 8:46. I'd love to think I can do better, but damn, I was spent!

 

great job man. fran is always a killer. i can't kip for crap, partially cause i have a bad shoulder and also because i just suck at it. it's crazy to think some guys can do a fran in the 3 min or less range

 

What if Fran again. I think we just did that the other day and I was in the high 8min range.

 

The Paleo diet and the Paleo diet for athletes. Boyakasha

At my box they did Fran 2 days in a row and the 2nd day just about everyone PR'ed

 

Fran is thrusters and pull ups right?

 

fran
21-15-9 reps of:
95 (65) lb barbell thruster
pullups

 

YA, mine was high 8 min, and I almost hurled after

 

Thanks! yea, our instructor said his best was something in the high 3 min range. iirc, he said the record for this is like 1:55 or something.

Yep!

 

so ive gone a few times and i actually really like it. my cardio sucks but not as bad as i thought it was. still learning alot of the movements but i dig it. first day i was actually able to knock out 5 straight muscleups. but ya maybe we should start a paleo only thread for diet ideas and different meals and encouragement???? what you guys think

 

You just started and got 5 straight muscleups thats bad ass. I think a Paleo thread would be a good idea, but I have nothing to contribute cuz I dont know shit lol

 

my form sucks on the muscle ups...just wanna clarify that. dont look pretty like when my buddy does em. im starting to have fun again in the gym. more than when i was just straight powerlifting. i like it.

 

It's the most fun I've ever had in a gym. It's competitive, encouraging, respectful. It's like a second home and a second family for me.

Best thing is, when I work out, people that are already done and just hanging will watch the 2yr old while I get my WOD on. Try doing that at a globo.

 

We have one resident 4 month old and there are a bunch of other young ones that get brought in from time to time. Everyone loves the kids and they are always bein taken care of. I actually fed and burped a baby for the first time yesterday

 

Nice! Yeah after the WODs, I'll take her to the rowers and whatnot. She likes to DL the 4kg KBs and pullups

 

For those that say you can't get huge and ripped doing crossfit. Check out this video of a group of guys from australia preparing for the crossfit games: wmv mov

 

You definitely can! Even my instructors here say that if you want to get bigger while doing crossfit, just eat more (well, those are in my words, but ya know)

And todays WOD is awesome, but its my rest day Maybe i'll sub it in for tomorrow instead!

 

There enlies my problem I don't eat enough nor the right foods to look like that.
