Re: Diet and Cancer Study
So my 24 oz/day topped with 9 tbsp of fat would probably make me quite the outlier. At least I'll make a good looking corpse.

Strangely, Lynne is the toughest for me.

Re: Murph Challenge: times
Strong work, how were the reps partitioned, and which exercise would you consider limiting?

Re: 1000lbs club CrossFit Total

BS - 429 (+10)
SP - 195 (-14)
DL - 461 (-10)

Re: Somewhat serious fashion/gym question
A cut off shirt sleeve is ideal for this application.

Re: increase box height
Well played. But if you decide you need something mid-way standard cinder blocks are 8" tall. I made an 18" bench that I jump up on when a 20" is called for in the WOD. I put it on on blocks...

Re: Age of Crossfitters
I'm 39, will be 40 in March.
And so as not to blow the curve, my 18 y/o son Vincent is also an avid Crossfitter though he rarely visits the discussion boards now that he's off at college.

Re: ME + High Reps = ?
