Oh and 45 for a month of Crossfit, that is awesome!!!
I'm not letting go.We have lost him forever ;-)
Forgive my ignorance but what will you guys be doing for the comp? I know a little bit but why guess when I can ask! AmGood luck bud. I haven't gotten to the point yet where I want to give that a shot. I do have a team competition on the 1st of December. I'll post the link later.
Let me know how you did.
Yeah, can't find that deal anywhere so I had to jump on it. Plus, I couldn't quit before giving the strength biased program a try.Oh and 45 for a month of Crossfit, that is awesome!!!
I'm hoping to lose the rest of this fat forever. Not much left now.We have lost him forever ;-)
now that's the spirit!I'm not letting go.
I'm in.Here it is guys! Time to get serious! http://anabolicminds.com/forum/redefine-nutrition/238569-montego-snagency-tag.html
I posted a link above to what the workouts are. Off the top of my head, the first workout is: 10 20" box jump overs 15 thrusters @95lbs (men) 65lbs (women) 30 double unders And it's a relay, so one person finishes before the next goes. Workout 2/3 are combined. 12 minutes of rowing for distance while establishing a 1RM deadlift. (one person rows while the other three lift and you switch off) And workout 4 is some horrible workout that I'm not looking forward to.Forgive my ignorance but what will you guys be doing for the comp? I know a little bit but why guess when I can ask! Am
I'm excited to give it a shot. Now I have to line up a strongman meet and a powerlifting meet.I've been to a few comps. They usually run the gambit with all teams pairs (never been to an individual one) getting in at least 4 or 5 workouts. The first one is almost always high cardio, like a 5k or a crazy row. After a break it will prob go into a heavy lift challange (bench/squat, etc.). They are pretty fun any you can see some crazy good athletes, and usually some pretty bad ones too.
Yep, that's the goal for 2014. One of each type of competition.Strongman and powerlifting now too? Very diverse!
Interesting. Curious how you will adjust your training brother.Yep, that's the goal for 2014. One of each type of competition.
So am I. I don't know anyone who competes in strongman around these parts, or if there's even a facility that caters to that. It's ok though, where I'm going there will be strongman guys and facilities so we'll see.Interesting. Curious how you will adjust your training brother.
Whew, we haven't lost him...yet...Yep, that's the goal for 2014. One of each type of competition.
That's what I am hoping for. I have teammates for this upcoming one. I know two of them, but one I am unfamiliar with. I hope she can pull her weight.That's awesome dude sounds like a blast.
...and never will. I'm trying to find a way to be well-rounded, well-versed and semi-good at everything. I want to be a jack of all trades, master of none, literally (although it would be awesome to win some shlt).Whew, we haven't lost him...yet...
that's an interesting philosophical desireI want to be a jack of all trades, master of none, literally.
not so much a master of none, as I would like to master the basics. I guess mastery represents "nothing left to learn" in my eyes, and I always want to learn something new. Most "jacks of all trades" that I've met leave lots of things unfinished. That's a trait I don't desire to possess.that's an interesting philosophical desire
there is something to be said for that kind of profile tho..
Same here man. I just want to be functional in all aspects of fitness, whether it be lifting heavy (relatively speaking) things, or running long distances at a decent pace, or understanding nutrition and dieting enough to be able to change my body composition however I desire.I like that too para. I'm still pretty active and sports and enjoy my sprinting. Ill never be competitive again at this body weight but it's beneficial none the less. I'm an out doors and sports kind of guy so it just benefits my lifestyle. I have no desire to be overly huge. Just extremely strong and mobile for my size.
Yep, I'm not a big dude. That's not the cloth I was cut from, although I'm much bigger than I was a few years ago. I also don't truly consider myself a crossfitter, I've just been doing crossfit. I'm not sure that it's envy, as I've seen some of the personalities associated with crossfit and many of them leave a lot to be desired. I guess that comes with any sport, as I remember Tony Hawk being an absolute prick when I met him in the mid-nineties. I consider any activity in life that involved passion to be subject to zealots, and I think it's the zealots that hate. I like most anyone who will work out with me.Nice another little guy. But your an X-fitter, meh. J/k. Nothing but for respect for what it takes to succeed in this regard. Never understood the hate from the PLers towards Xfitters. Perhaps a little envy. Sub'd to learn.
I hear it's good for the heart.It's not the envy. It's the cardio!
No, I didn't take it as you being critical. Compared to the other reps for FINAFLEX, I'm a little dude. Hell, compared to a lot of people I'm a little dude. I'm ok with it too. I was 137lbs when I joined the Army, imagine that. Funny thing is, I'm just as fast as I was then (almost) and I'm over forty pounds heavier. Even at my peak weight of 196, I could still run two miles somewhere in the twelve minute range.You're larger than me right now, so don't mistake my comment of being critical of your size.
And totally agree re zealotry and hate. Between the extremes lies moderation and virtue.
If that is the goal then I know it will be done!Yep, that's the goal for 2014. One of each type of competition.
Yeah but what you plan to do was the original catalyst behind crossfit. Being fit for all activities no matter what life threw at you. I remember the first time I ran across crossfit way before it became a big thing several years ago and reading the site and mission statement. Now it has definitely commercialized quite a bit, but the original intention was to be able to excel in all aspects of fitness and functional fitness.not so much a master of none, as I would like to master the basics. I guess mastery represents "nothing left to learn" in my eyes, and I always want to learn something new. Most "jacks of all trades" that I've met leave lots of things unfinished. That's a trait I don't desire to possess.

Impressive. I think we may be like minded fitness wise, though I aspire for what you've already realized. Now that I have skimmed down, and my time is freeing up, I plan to get in killer shape, mind, body, heart, soul. Anyhow, pleasure to meet another scar victim, lol.I hear it's good for the heart.

thanks, I work with all pretty tall dudes do I feel short a lotHow do we get to small dudes at 5'9 and in the 180's, that is a damn good physique as lean as he is. LOL Wrivest i wouldn't call you small at 5'7 and 165 either. You may not be tall but definitely put together.
haha, thnx, i guess I'm just used to being around all my coworkers and a few beasts I work out with, so I'm always playing catch up....somehow I never seem to get taller tho!How do we get to small dudes at 5'9 and in the 180's, that is a damn good physique as lean as he is.

I dunno man, all was fine and dandy, and then you appeared on the scene, and I started seeing your avatar with regularity, and suddenly I felt quite small.How do we get to small dudes at 5'9 and in the 180's, that is a damn good physique as lean as he is.

Not next to me, Country!So wait I'm small?
You sure as hell ain't calling me small, are you?Troop,
I think you should rename your thread to "troops inspiration for small dudes!"
Myself included....good sh*t man!
Nekids! My scheme has worked. I just knew my "small men" assertion would turn to a nekids and an ensuing measuring up, lol.Speaking of size.....I need nudes! I've seen the scale pics now I want fukin frontal noooodity
I think you can tie a weight on the end of it and it will grow over time... That is what some tribes do in Africa.So wait I'm small?
Yeah he wants you to show him the Fill Monte!Speaking of size.....I need nudes! I've seen the scale pics now I want fukin frontal noooodity
Short is all relative. When a man feels small he makes himself small. When he is confident in his stature it is a completely different story as far as how he is seen by others. There will always be some that point out height as a negative but those people are small themselves... Just my opinion.thanks, I work with all pretty tall dudes do I feel short a lot
Me either. I think I am one of the few guys I know between 5'8" and 5'9" that rounds down instead of up. Height can't measure my worth so not worth my measuring.haha, thnx, i guess I'm just used to being around all my coworkers and a few beasts I work out with, so I'm always playing catch up....somehow I never seem to get taller tho!
Thanks for the very creative compliment. You Sir are a giant among men!I dunno man, all was fine and dandy, and then you appeared on the scene, and I started seeing your avatar with regularity, and suddenly I felt quite small.
Thanks for the cold water. Serious shrinkage here, lol.
Whoah, if you thought my avatar made you feel small we can't have a d!ck measuring contest then Costanza...Nekids! My scheme has worked. I just knew my "small men" assertion would turn to a nekids and an ensuing measuring up, lol.
I quit taking pics. I might find one and see if it'll post.Speaking of size.....I need nudes! I've seen the scale pics now I want fukin frontal noooodity
Supa lean...it just got hot in here<img src="http://anabolicminds.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=92524"/>
There ya go ladies. All 177lbs of me.
Cross xfit, lol, ironically meets Henry Rollins, man of iron and other hard stuff.<img src="http://anabolicminds.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=92524"/>
There ya go ladies. All 177lbs of me.
"Small" is a relative term though. I don't consider myself puny, but when compared to the likes of you, Steve, Montana, Edje and many others on the board, I'm not a big guy. As far as actually being small, I was small a long time ago. I've graduated a bit.How do we get to small dudes at 5'9 and in the 180's, that is a damn good physique as lean as he is. LOL Wrivest i wouldn't call you small at 5'7 and 165 either. You may not be tall but definitely put together.
I wouldn't say so. You're quite a bit bigger than me from what I've seen.So wait I'm small?
Above. See above.Speaking of size.....I need nudes! I've seen the scale pics now I want fukin frontal noooodity
I know the feeling very well. Although I'm a bit taller than you and may not experience it as much, at 5'9"-5'10", I'm still not tall. Tall enough for me though, as I drive a small car and don't have to search long and hard for pants.thanks, I work with all pretty tall dudes do I feel short a lot
Chris is a monster. For real. It's fun to watch him transform in prep and see what lies beneath the offseason.I dunno man, all was fine and dandy, and then you appeared on the scene, and I started seeing your avatar with regularity, and suddenly I felt quite small. Thanks for the cold water. Serious shrinkage here, lol.
Rollins was and still is a stout dude. He's also 5'9".Cross xfit, lol, ironically meets Henry Rollins, man of iron and other hard stuff. Looking good, but pull up your pants to cover your hard wood flooring, lol. You look more than 10 lbs thicker than me, particularly in chest, and about as lean, imo. Good work.
I see you're actually 5'9", so we are probably pretty similar thickness (I am closer to 5'8", thanks to some serious DDD and leaky discs, causing shrinkage; I say 5'8.5" in my log), as my normal weight is around 168-172 (since a recent diet), though I am 164 right how. But you still look thicker than me, IMO.Rollins was and still is a stout dude. He's also 5'9".
Monte asked for full frontal, I aim to please.
Thanks for the compliment. My last weigh-in I was 175.9 and I estimate I'm carrying some bloat since then (been traveling).
Herro...Looking hella sexy my friend. Crossfit or not I still love you to pieces.
