To juice or not to juice

Totally agree on no vest 1st year…

Watch your shoulders, neck, and hips all.the.time.
Stay within yourself, put blinders on to those around you.
Always live to fight another day.
Those are the CF daily mantras I live by.

My first rule at the gym is leave youre ego at the door. We spend 15 min w/ warmup and prep work before they sever start lifting

 

[Aude_Aliquid_Dignu]

(Haha it’s more fun when they don’t)

 

[Azhunter021]

I glad you guys said something about the vest because I was going to wear mine. I have people at my gym who said I should and some people who said for the first time I shouldn’t. With @Kad1 experience I’m definitely going to trust his advice and go without a vest this year. Then do some vest training for the following year.

 

[Aude_Aliquid_Dignu]

And it’s a good thing to establish a “baseline” time without a vest, I think.

You could time me doing that with a calendar

Me too! Oh, and my one remaining rotator cuff in my left shoulder would give way after about six pullups!

Your g2g brotha, just a day or 2 stop the pwo, the nitrogen retention ( pump ) you get from those compounds I feel could hinder your maximum potential.

Well I finished it:

72 minutes 30 seconds with no vest

1 mile run

25 sets:
4 Pull-ups
4 push-ups
8 air squats
4 push-ups
4 air squats

1 mile run

I was the last to finish but next year I hope to wear a vest and do a little better.

Good job brother

 

[JLee]

But you finished. That in itself is a major accomplishment! Great job!

 

[herrubermensch]

Impressive. I’d really like to train for something like this and give it a go at some point. Congratulations.

 

[Azhunter021]

That was my whole goal just to finish. I’m pretty happy and want to try and get under 60 mins next year.

 

[Poppy]

What’s the superstars doing it in?

 

[Poppy]

I’m officially designating @Azhunter021 as my crossfit proxy!

 

[Azhunter021]

Fastest guy with a 20# vest did it in 45mins 38 seconds then helped me run the last mile.

 

[Poppy]

That’s cooking

 

[Azhunter021]

Ya his cardio is really good we probably weigh the same but he’s been lifting since high school and played football. Hopefully next year my cardio and running are better. When I started I couldn’t run a whole mile and I did today for the first mile.

 

[Poppy]

Positive progress!
