Well damn Scott, I'll approach Barbara carefully tomorrow, thanks ! It's always the ones that look the easiest on paper that are the most dangerous around here !

Good thing you pushed thru regardless of the sick feelings

Thanks Rich and just in time for me to edit. I see your time for Helen which is fantastic considering you have to start and stop the running machine (i try to leave it running and lower myself back on). I keep imagining a running track with a pull up bar in the sun! In my dreams!! PS I found 'Broc'

I understand your dream Scott, that would be just perfect ! I hate those treadmills with passion

Indeed I noticed the Broc' popping up quite often now in your log haha

I looked back at when I asked you your stats, I see your weight was 88kg.

Are you experiencing any changes there ? Because with Crossfit, I went from 87,5 to 85,5 quite rapidly, without any changes in my diet (I eat all the time), and I actually look "bigger" than before.

Yes i have also dropped down about 2 kilos and my shirts feel tighter around the shoulders and arms, so theres definately some muscle growth there. Its good to get stronger and faster and still keep your size, this Crossfit system is great! Been trying to get a picture on here but every time i make it small enough (photoshop) its just a blur!!!
