Closest CF Facility is 27 miles away!
Post WODs and see if we can get a small group going in our local area - be it a globo gym or somebody's garage or something.

How does one edit Thread Titles? Obviously, I'm not looking for Crossitters

Big misspelling! HELP !

Annie - one of my favorite CF Elite athletes but certainly not my fav WOD.

Today, taught an hour indoor spin class (and every Sunday). A few minutes rest. Then attacked some practice DU's. Got a few intermittently...or should I say every other 4 or 5 singles. Pressing for time! Ok, so just counted 50 DU "attempts"....50 anchored sit ups...40..30..20..10. Whew! Seemed like forever.

Hey, Grace.

Those are some nice numbers. Especially on FS. 155's not easy. How long have you been Xfitting?

oh and, definitely feel you on the interruptions...what IS that?!

and Shiba Inu? What does it mean?

Enough questions.

Hi Erin,

I stumbled into CF when I was in search for paramount upper body strength regimens and superior progressions for my female clients back in April 07. Have been lurking around since then. Religiously looking at a lot of vids/slide shows and reading a lot of the available journals. Then, I decided that this is actually The Ideal Wrkout for ME, myself and I. So, slowly familiarized myself with the basics and incorporating portions of WODs into my workout. Finally, around September I got rid of most of my old routines, let go of most of the formats I teach at the globos. In January, when I started posting I have officially gotten rid of non-CF workouts except for indoor cycling and some isolated lat/rhomboid muscle exercises. As far as the strength aspect, I was really amazed. Having equiped with tools from the website (big fan of Rippetoe and Burgener), I have come to love the Oly bar.

FS 155# is still not as deep as I'd like it to be, I think. Nobody's around to coach me on that one. Shiba Inu is a japanese breed dog, my own dog. But the significance of using it as a screen name is that it is a small dawg. For the moment I am not top dawg (not yet, that is ). Thanks for your reply.
