Sightly down for the back squat. Straight ahead to slightly up for a front squat and overhead squat.

Nice work on FGB! Never tried it with the mens' rx'd weight. 20lb wall balls=scary!

I'm with CrossFit Regina. We're the gym that rhymes with fun.

I've been (mostly) lurking on this site for a year and I had no idea about this thread! I need to pay more attention. LOL!

I started at a crossfit gym a couple of years ago and love it. ...

If you're in Alberta, you're pretty much in luck no matter what gym you hit up. Good, good peeps in Alberta and you could easily find yourself working out next to some of the best CrossFitters on...

Not all CrossFit gyms are created equal. Each is independently owned and operated so I'd always suggest a person head down and check it out to see what kind of programming they do and what kind of...

I went up by 5's for squat, bench and power cleans, 10's for deadlift and 3's for shoulder press. Maxed out on the shoulder press first but I'm all leg and no upper body strength.

As for diet, I...

My trainer used Rippetoe's Practical Programming for Strength Training to put together our training program last year so it included elements of Starting Strength. Along with Workout A and B each...

Hmm, is there an official definition of "lifting heavy"? I consider heavy lifting days to be those when I'm doing heavy singles, 3's or 5's and I'm at over over 80 percent of the weight I've...

Not sure about my macros but I'm guessing I'm around 50-60g carbs and 120-130g protein? I get squirrelly when I have to track. On a five week mini-cut and trying to lean out for another three weeks....

I used to but not any more.

I feel really, really, really stinkin' good eating like I do. I'm always in a good mood, my recovery after workouts is awesome, I sleep like a baby, I'm high energy,...

We buy grass raised, grass finished meat straight from a bison rancher up in Landis. Good eating, inexpensive, and just read my fellow (now displaced in Texas? How's that goin' for ya?) Canuck's...

Linds33 - My lulu stuff has held up really well to chalk and tire flips. My favourite pair of pants are still in perfect shape despite a year of hard training. At this point, I'm not sure what I'd...

I have the The Muse cut and I hate them. I don't know why I let the clerk talk me into them. Even with tailoring, the thigh is too tight and the waist way too big so they end up pulling down when I...

I wouldn't even really worry about picking a specific goal weight to hit. Just focus on eating good, clean food, getting in your workouts and getting enough sleep to help with recovery. If you do...

That sucks! We have a few peeps at the gym that have this problem, too, and I know it is frustrating to overcome. Some were helped by switching to a pair of weightlifting shoes with a bit of a...

Sorry you're feeling pukey. Hey, at least you know you pushed it hard in your workout!

I've never actually puked but a few times I've felt a bit funky after a few more cardio-based workouts. ...

Agreed. My start was 5'4" and 204lbs with IR, PCOS and I was a pack a day smoker who hadn't ever picked up a weight in her life. Four years later, my labs are normal, I'm at 19 percent bodyfat and...

I'm paleo so I will definitely choose fruit over grains but veggies come first and foremost (paleo eating tends to hit around 50% fat/25% pro, 25% cho). But, I'm going for performance gains over...

The rower is fantastic for cardio but it's EVIL! EVIL! I'm an ex-LD runner and I've got some decent endurance but nothing destroys me like a c2 rower. Doing an hour on it would be my version of...

I've been CrossFitting for about a year. I LOVES it! It's introduced me to so many things that I never would have tried on my own from all of the oly lifting to the gymnastic skills (working on...
