Deja WOD
That surreal feeling you’ve done this WOD before. You don’t remember exactly how it went, just that it didn’t end well.

Great tips for weightlifting newbies like me.
Also, I might be just a tad bit in love with Chad Vaughn. Especially after watching his super slow mo C&J video countless times.

What is an inadvertent compliment?
Your mom telling you disapprovingly that your arms are like Michelle Obama’s. Yay!
Thanks, mom. And thank you, CrossFit!

Rick Scarpulla: Re-Order Your Priorities. Strength... →
Excerpt:
“Cardio shape is quickly gained and begins to diminish just as quickly. In only a few weeks you can get in decent aerobic conditioning. Equivalent strength gains take much longer to build, but they also hang around much longer after you slow down or stop focusing on them as a priority.”

Date a girl who CrossFits
Date a girl who wakes up every morning excited and nervous about going to the box and taking on another WOD. She knows she isn’t going to get a PR or the best score everyday, but you can be sure she’s not afraid of hard work (and burpees).
Date a girl whose goal is to be strong. She’s competitive and will want to beat you at every workout and you might be tempted to let her,...

Had a Bad Day? Now What? →
One of our coaches shared this link. Sometimes we’re just too hard on ourselves. We need to stop beating ourselves up and be our own best friend.
Excerpt:
“Are we able to give it our best for the day and move on? Can we accept a bad day and recognize that it’s part of being human? Can we let go of the “what if’s” and focus on the “what next’s?” Or do we obsess for days, unable to...

paleoforit:
As I wrote in this last post, processed foods like bread, chips, cookies, etc. are calorically dense but nutritionally poor. Additionally, because they are filled with sugar this is what your body starts running on when you eat these foods (and it’s why you experience the “crash” after…

Newbie anew
I bought 2 vouchers on Deal Grocer to try out CrossFitMNL, and I just finished 1 week of working out there. Not everyday, of course (OF COURSE not everyday!). During that 1 week I was able to go 3 times, which was good enough for me. I’m definitely signing up when I use up my second voucher.
What I love about going there is it’s such a no-frills gym (or box, as they call it)… no...

innerfatgirl:
As I was walking down the street today I heard someone talking loudly on the phone. They were talking about how they were gaining weight, and the emotion they used to describe this was serious panic. I think panic is a normal thing to feel when our bodies change, especially if…
