Re: The Journey of 1000 Miles
Yes, that's the sort of thing I meant. I certainly do log my own workouts, and that lets me track improvements overtime. But the CFT seems to function as a strength benchmark or goal, and I...

Re: Impromptu Workouts
Hmmm. This is a reason I hadn't considered. Obviously if I'm scaling the WODs (which I am, big-time right now - THANK YOU BRAND-X!), then my times aren't comparable to those done as Rx'd. Still,...

Re: The Journey of 1000 Miles
Many thanks for the links, Ben. I've heard of the Paleo diet. I'm not sure it's something I could live with for the rest of my life (my definition of a "diet"), but I will check those resources -...

Re: The Journey of 1000 Miles
Grip strength, supination strength, and extension strength are all about 70-75% of my left hand. That may improve with training, but I think about 80% is my realistic max, without the biceps on that...

The Journey of 1000 Miles
I guess I'd have to say that I'm "starting again" with Crossfit. A couple of years ago I managed to trash my right arm through a combination of bad form in the deadlift and a botched surgery to...

Re: hand / grip exercise / equipment
You beat me to it, Doug.
Iron Mind is the go-to store for everything related to hand and grip. The Captains of Crush grippers are the gold standard for straightforward crush grip strength, but...

Re: Body Fat % Testing
Quoted for truth.
I honestly don't know why BMI has become such a popular metric. The only reason I can think of is that it's simple. You measure someone's height and based on that you tell...

New Posts Incomplete?
I just noticed that the "New Posts" link doesn't bring up anything newer than about 10AM on Friday. Is this a glitch, or something that I'm causing somehow?

Re: Impromptu Workouts
Yep, Tabata anything is a standard with my non-gym workouts. Try Tabata mills with a clubbell sometime. I hear C3PO talking about "A new definition of pain and suffering." ;) Likewise Tabata...

Re: Impromptu Workouts
Thanks, Jose. I wasn't looking so much for suggestions, though, as I was actually interested in what other people do outside the gym.

I debated putting this thread in Fitness, and even in Community, but since I consider myself new to CF I decided to drop it here. I hope a mod will put it somewhere more appropriate if this isn't...

Re: 24-Hour Fitness may not be the best
Ah, this makes sense. Though even $20/month isn't bad.
Yes, I'd like to work out at a Crossfit gym, but at this point in my rehab I doubt I'd be able to keep up - and I haven't found a CF gym in...

Re: Body Fat % Testing
At the moment I'm tracking mine by means of tape measurement. I use two different scales and average the results, but so far they've been surprisingly close to one another.
I'm glad I discovered...

Re: 24-Hour Fitness may not be the best
I joined 24-HF under this program. I agree that they aren't the ideal CF gym, but they're good for many purposes, they're everywhere, and they're always open. I go late in the evenings to reduce...
