Def not quoting the weights just looking to add more to it. Getting on a treadmill or eliptical machine makes me want to jump off a bridge..... Boring and monotonous as hell!!
RT - I appreciate the offer and read through your other thread where this was brought up. I didn't do and couldn't stand PT at El Cid and don't see me staying with F3, cool concept just not my thing. Not to mention with my work schedule I wouldn't be able to make enough of them to make it worth it.
My interest in Crossfit was to basically use the "superset" mentality and borrow some exercises to add more of a cardio element to my workouts now. Which sparked the question of how many big guys do all that stuff? Just don't see many ex-football players doing muscle ups and the swinging on the bar stuff.
The guys on TV are the absolute best in the world. There is a certain size that lends itself to that. To be on that level, you have to be thick enough to have elite strength, but light enough to be able to crush the body weight exercises.
I'm 6'4" 215 and I obviously don't squat what a thicker/shorter guy would, but I can hold my own in pull ups, wall balls, box jumps, etc. We have some pretty big tall guys at our gym that are pretty good.
It will hurt to give it a try, but once the soreness wears off, I think you will like it. It's anything but monotonous. I've really enjoyed it.
Them that don't know him won't like him, and them that do sometimes won't know how to take him
He ain't wrong, he's just different, and his pride won't let him do things to make you think he's right
They don't put Championship rings on smooth hands
