shes from Vegas I think?

I just want to wear a pair of those booty shorts to the gym once!

I'm a huge fan of Tia!!!!  I follow her on instagram and I am so inspired!  I wish I could look more like her, but I think I started my fitness journey a little too late to be able to get that stacked!

False. You can get that stacked still. Look at how old RG is.

I have seen no evidence of stacking by RG.  I assume he is a frail elderly man, based on his discussions, and looks like this (but with larger thighs due to running/biking/lifting things):

damn..

here I am competing in the 2019 Crossfit Open, where for my age group, I was still very much toward the bottom...

 

[Road Guy]

But Toomy and the rest of the gang, its hard to compare ourselves to them since they dont have "day jobs"

Y'all need to start a crossfit thread.

 

[Road Guy]

technically I do "Group Fitness" because my gym owners bought into the whole Greg Glassman was the devil concept..

Is that a photo of two girls one cup that I've been hearing about?

@Road Guy, disappointed by butt size.  I expected it to be big from all the box jumps.  Just sayin'.

ALSO.  I am kinda able to bench press 75lbs easyish!  We were doing pause at bottom bench presses on Saturday, and I had 25lbs on each side and felt like I could have done more reps/increased the weight?  So I'm going to aim for 10kg on each side when we do bench next time.

My sumo lift/deadlift weight has, unfortunately, gone down a little...not because I'm not willing, but because the trainers are now like "You're working on form now.  Stay at this weight, but lift it slow, flat back, lead with your sternum" and I'm like....nooooo.  Let me just lift!  Same thing happened with my strict press.  They started throwing a ton of 'extra' stuff for me to remember and I got swirly anime eyes.

Isn't that gonna be lower than 25's?

 

[JayKay PE]

Yes, but I'm going to aim for that as my norm and slowly add more weight to it.  Right now I start with around 10lbs for warmup/early reps and slowly edge my way towards 20lb.  Now I'm going to try and start at 17.5lb and then swap to 10kg and then slowly add more onto it.

Y'all need to start a crossfit thread.

We have a running thread. We have a biking thread. What's this thread for if I'm not talking about THE MASSIVE GAINS I HAVE in my gym? 

 

[Road Guy]

I think those were shorts from pre XF days, they look a little baggy..

 

[JayKay PE]

I read this as bikini thread and I was a little horrified for a moment.

 

[Supe]

Yes.  Please post all bikini gains here.  Unless you're RG.

me and @csbwere supposed to be at the Festivus games this past weekend - but most of the hosts cancelled in Colorado once the mask mandate came down. & there is nothing worse than any workout indoors in a mask..

It is billed as a competition for "average joes" but most of the podium finishers I saw on line looked in pretty damn good shape!

maybe next year!
