Don’t be afraid to ask questions and do a little of your own research. Whatever your goals during this challenge, keep in mind that it’s a work in progress. Be a good scientist by keeping your variables to a minimum, and allowing time for change to happen before you begin manipulating.

I Am…Balanced CrossFit Invictus
I'm heading down to Philly today, home of the green birds, to see the family. We'll come up tomorrow night and do Christmas up here. Pretty exciting year for that , at 5, 3, and 2, the boys are very, very pumped! I am pretty sure that Santa is going to hook them up!
Have a Merry Christmas folks, and Happy Holidays all around!
Yeah Philly! If you haven't had Capogiro Gelato there, you gotta try it — even in winter (not that it really feels like winter right now), it is awesome stuff. Especially right before the Paleo challenge.
I'm up not-at-all-bright and early to head to the Cleve, where my in-laws are. I looked at the weather forecast and it's going to be below freezing pretty much every day we're there. Oh well, at least I like my in-laws.
I am hurtling toward Harrisburg aboard the 7:25. Happy holidays to the entire CFSBK fam!
Headed to Doylestown, PA tonight. I wish I could stay here and enjoy the holiday social. See you all next week!
am i the only person not going to pennsylvania? 🙂 i'm headed to syracuse NY where my parents live. on the road 6am sharp tomorrow morning.
My last strength cycle got over in oct 2010 with a total of 735 lbs. & I thought I had made huge jumps in my overall strength during that period.
After that, due to some reason or other I was not able to sign up for another cycle until the end of this year. In the 6 week cycle, my CF total jumped by 140 lbs (total was 875 lbs and not 810 as listed on the blog). My squat jumped by 50 lbs (315 lbs), OH press by 10 lbs (145 lbs) and deadlift by 80 lbs (415 lbs).
Jeremy has a unique talent for making some seemingly minor adjustments which result in these massive changes. He is definitely the best "GURU" out there…
Staying local for the holidays; going skiing on MLK weekend to vermont (hopefully there's some snow by then) & L.A for Radhika's show after that.
loved the info in the weight loss template about eating when hungry, not just because that is when you are supposed to eat. that should change everything for me. I am so focused on 3 meals, that it is insane.
thanks ya'll
also, I am currently in Strong Island doing frequency method chins, on my back yard pullup bar
I've been back home in Toronto since Wednesday. Canada is just as not-snowy as New York, which is a little upsetting.
Also, I just tried a P90x workout with my sister — supposedly the hardest one. Not to be a crossfit snob, but it was all kinds of easy. Makes me glad for what we've got at SBK.
…speaking of which, anyone know of a good at-home workout for someone who's never done crossfit before? the only read equipment we have is a bar that could (at max) go up to about 95 pounds.
@Gabrus,
I think you'd be shocked at how much you can just let breakfast go. If you eat a large enough amount of protein throughout the days (and maybe some coffee) and you just don't need that third meal.

I'm not going to PA. I've been in Sioux City, Iowa since Saturday. I hadn't been home in a year, so it's good to be back. Athough I miss New York (especially SBK) already!
I'm visiting family in Australia. Gotten in a few wods at southern crossfit http://www.southernxfit.com/. 12 days of christmas was rough, especially in 90 degree weather
strength cycle week 6.3 — last day
bench press: 145/150/
160kinda bummed i failed on 160. my old PR is 145. i think i could have hit 155. but a PR is a PR.
power clean: attempts 155-165-175-180-
185fairly pleased with this. i had like no speed tonight but my pulls were ok. 180 is a 15 pound PR. really i have so much work to do on my form here but i'm good with a 15 pound PR. i've made more progress on the clean this cycle than any of my other lifts.
so overall i've PR'd all my 1RMs except for press. i'll take that.
I just submitted my paleo challenge plan and I am just struck by how lucky I am to have this community and especially these coaches to help me find myself after 2.5 years in the fitness wilderness. Not a particular coincidence that Linus is also 2.5 years old–since he was born I've been struggling to figure out how to be a mom-athlete. A momthlete. Mothlete? Anyway, I think lots of moms go through this and most of them don't have a team of 8 or 9 super-fit, super-supportive, super-awesome coaches/cheerleaders/badasses who create intricate worksheets to help them figure out what their @#($ problem is and how to fix it. So, yay CFSBK. Many joyful holiday wishes to you.
