Exactly what we’re doing! Always someone there to “make” you work out.
Was at Terries today, jammed in two miles, 1mi @ ~10min and then the last at ~9min. Got in a lot of chest and arms. Spotted Walker as I was leaving.
I’ve been making great strides since starting Crossfit…no matter how “uncool” it was on here.
405 squat
495 deadlift, with about another 20# left in the tank, but no room left on the bar:
When i started CF, i was so out of shape and fat…i could only do 4 pullups and now I have been able to do 28 unbroken. I’m chiming in at about 208# now.
Big props to you for no straps, grip that shit.
awesome job dude…I’d be happy doing half of that 
God I’d be afraid of my knee caps exploding
Is there anyplace that does MMA stlye workout class? I don’t want to do cage fights but would like some hand to hand for part of a work out.
holy fuck that squat
Last workouts of phase I of MGS2.0 this week. My endurance is getting better. Back squatted 275 for 8 reps, then 3 FML sets of split squats at 15-20 reps each side. Then a couple more things. I’m liking this program thus far.

Eh crossfit is pretty legit. I think the stuff I hear about people getting injured due to some of the programming is probably blown out of proportion. But the knee high socks on guys is kind of corny. 
I’d give it a try if it wasn’t 5 times the price of just going to lift at an open gym. :shrug:
LOL just saw this…
im sure i stick out like a sore thumb.
im there mon/tues/thurs/fri
Siq Lets pump some iron! I need a person aside form my wife to workout with.
I would have had a tough time getting so much as a spot today. It was literally just me and the desk clerk. Perfect. Usually there’s at least a half dozen of us at the island of misfit lifters.
Well I’m almost done with that program, and for following only the workouts, I’m pretty happy. More defined, a little stronger, and I maintained my weight =)
Bump. 3 months later in week 7 of MGS2.0, deadlifted 315 x 5, 2 sets. Didn’t quite get full extension on the last rep of the second set because I was about to drop the bar but a pretty good improvement. Back squat 275 x 5, 2 sets earlier in the week too. The squats were followed by 3 sets of 15 split squats with rear leg up on a bench. Those fucking suck. Still sore.
I really like this program. I’ve actually lost a few pounds because I’m trying to do a bit of calorie restriction during the day so I’m winding up with a pretty solid body comp change in just a few weeks. Noticibly more muscle all over, less pudge on the abs. I started the program around 190, now I’m about 186. Mass gaining lulz. If I would be stricter with my diet I’d probably have a 6 pack by now.
Diet = calorie restriction during the day then eat a solid dinner at night. I.e. no breakfast or just protein (eggs and bacon), light lunch of meat, veggies, a piece or two of fruit after workouts, then eat to satisfaction at dinner with potatoes or rice on training days. Makes it pretty easy to eat light during the day when you know you’re going to be able to go to bed satisfied every day. Avoids the after lunch rebound hypoglycemia 2pm crash thing too. All paleo-ish food. Meat, veggies, rice/potatoes, fucking butter everything. Try not to snack at all. But I still eat lots of junk that doesn’t fit what I “should” be doing so my results aren’t nearly as good as they should be.
I just started getting back in to the swing of things, been eating pretty damn good for once I am only having complex carbs for my carb intake, I’m hoping I won’t even need to restrict my diet and my body fat will melt off. Also doing another first of doing almost every exercise for 12 reps, I still gained my size back but maybe I’m a little softer probably due to my muscles storing more glycogen due to the 12 reps. My strength isn’t as close to what I once was but I used to be working in a lower rep range and that’s probably why I feel like I’m not that strong since I’m doing a higher range. I also decided that ill start off with 1 exercise per body part doing a basic split of chest/tri’s back/bi’s legs/abs (sometimes I change up a couple isolation exercises).
So with doing only 1 exercise per muscle group I’m getting decent results so as long as I’m progressing with each exercise and building muscle this is the program ill be doing. I’m already getting a feeling it’s easier to progress with higher reps because each rep isn’t as intense compared to being in a lower rep range.
Looking forward to summer 
I’ve recently been trying a different approach and it’s been working well for me. I go M/W/F every week, but do two weeks of light-weight-high-rep (two sets of 20-30reps for each workout) followed by a 5K run…then two weeks of heavy with no running…meaning aiming for max weight ending up in lfiting patterns of 10reps, 8reps, 6reps, 4reps(or fail). Been taking a similar approach to my diet as Fry most recently mentioned…Eggs or greek yogurt and a banana for breakfast, lean meats and veggies for lunch with v8splash as a drink, and hearty dinner with a protein shake after workout. I’ve lost about an inch in my waist and 7lbs in 3wks, while noticing more muscle definition. I’ve also gotten to a pretty steady 28min +/- 5K run.
Working out this way has made it so that I don’t seem to lose any stamina while concentrating on overall strength, yet don’t lose any overall strength while concentrating on stamina… I really like it so far.
Every time someone mentions working out I automatically think of Muscle Milk.
I also got a new haircut. UAAAAAAHH!
Workouts don’t count if you don’t take 4 different chemical blends to have enough energy to do something active for an hour, then 3 different powdered proteins afterwards to recover.
I finished that 84 workout, and I am def stronger and a little bit toner so I’m going to stick with it. I’m sure I would have looked much better and been stronger if I took all his supplements.
