Re: Your Hormones and you.
Thanks for the reply and the answer is no. My MD didn't look at why my levels were low. I think it is hereditary if that's possible. I understand that one of the risk factors for heart disease is low...

Just a little "heads up" to all of the Male crossfitters out there. I have been very active and have been pretty diligent with exercising for the last few years. I have competed in triathlons and...

Re: Out of shape guy's attempt at CF
The first two times I went I felt like I had been hit by a car. No amount of scaling would have prevented that. I was just in terrible shape.
I went once the first week and once the second week....

Re: First Crossfit Class...INTIMIDATED!
Just go and enjoy yourself. No one is judging you.
It's hard but worth it. I can tell you this, I have run two half ironman

For me,...

Re: SLeeping Ugly
I had the same problem you did. I never had trouble falling asleep and as soon as my eyes opened I was AWAKE. Despite all of this I was tired all of the time. Turns out I had sleep apnea. My Dad had...

Re: I need you to guess what I weigh. (Pic)

Re: I'm picking Crossfit over Panda Express
Adam,
I am or was in almost the same boat that you. I was 6'2" 268 on May 16th. I Did my fitness test on May 16 and it darn near crippled me for a week. I worked out the next week and it only took...

Re: My First Experience with Crossfit
Brendan, thanks for the comment. I don't think any amount of scaling would have kept me from getting sore. The soreness came from inactivity alone. My first workout was general calisthenic type...

Re: Adrenal fatigue?
Some of the things that you talk about might be sleep apnea related. You don't have to be fat to have sleep apnea. I had it as a 155 pound 6ft tall paratrooper. It will wreck your life and you will...
