Still think it's a bit of a ripoff (I could do everything I do there in my basement with equipment I already have) but I've reached the point in my life where fitness (and motivation for fitness) are more valuable than money. It gets me moving and breaks up the monotony of a 5x5 workout. At 30, less worried about 1RM and focusing more on cardiovascular health. Biggest trouble for me has been flexibility. I haven't touched my toes in probably 15 years. I'm getting close. Still have a lot of issues with wrist, lat, hip tightness that I'm working through over time. It just hadn't been a problem before given the way I lifted. I can post the workouts here if people want (not going to do all the warmups, stretches, etc...Just the WOD). Today was: 25 cleans (95#) 25 wall balls (20#) 100m sprint 4m for the workout (start doing cleans again after you get through it once) 4m rest Same but 20 reps 4m rest Same but 15 reps Scale down for women or up if you are in really awesome shape. Dude, I just joined one as well! I was the biggest crossfit hater for so long but after meeting the coaches at the gym and looking at what they're doing, I've completely changed my mind. Having a background in lifting has really helped accelerate my progress though the on ramp portion, Hopefully I'll start actual classes next week. I have two more sessions of on ramp. I'll update as I go! Where are you going to? I'd love to see their WOD's if they have them posted. piky0032 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is where I'm going, http://www.crossfitspur.com they usually post their wods on instagram. I was in portland maine this weekend and swung by Misfit crossfit it was a dope ass gym but i didn't get to work out though. Andy Hurley (fall out boy drummer) is affiliated with them. I have my last on ramp class tomorrow so I can start actual classes this weekend, I cannot wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomasj182 Posted July 12, 2017 Share Posted July 12, 2017 Wife and I had our last on ramp class tonight, two things I learned; 1. I'm really good at lifting weights and 2. my cardio is putrid! We did a small amrap of wall balls, sit ups, and med ball lunges. It was 10 minutes, I made it through 3 rounds and I was sucking wind hard! Back at it tomorrow morning !

thebiglebowski Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Yeah it's been tough this month. A lot of hot, muggy days. Toughing through it in the summer should make everything easier in the fall. Ours yesterday was all cardio: 2000m row 150 double unders 10 rounds of: 5 pull ups 10 push ups 15 air squats finished in just under a half hour but I was drenched in sweat. I also suck at double unders. I always do singles and double the quantity. Otherwise I would be constantly hitting my feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebiglebowski Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 Anyone have/had knee tendonitis? I fought it for months. Tried rest, wraps, foam rolling, stretching, etc. These things help lessen pain but didn't fix the problem. Got an eccentric squat board. Problem fixed in a week. Have almost 100% range of motion back in my knee. Just sharing for anyone who may be experiencing.. piky0032 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piky0032 Posted December 6, 2018 Share Posted December 6, 2018 Large bump Ive gotten heavy into lifting ovet the past 6 months or so and posted some massive gains with my numbers. Ive been going to the gym for a solid 6-10 years but only recently had i dialled everything in and started really focusing on improving my overall performance. My New PBs are Squat 200kgs - 440lbs Bench 120kgs - 265lbs Deads 160kgs - 352lbs Hex Deads 217.5kgs - 480lbs Ive been running a 4/5 day split around a 4 on 4 off Night Shift schedule so its been a challenge but im getting to the gym almost everyday. I usually rotate a Chest/Shoulders Arms/Back/Leg split but also sometimes split out Arms and Shoulders into Seperate days. My next step and focus will be Diet and Cardio and i think if i dial them in and focus on improving those my Numbers will get a bit better/Biggers. Hows everyone else doing? i know this is a hell long bump but thought it would be cool to get it going again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
