I can concur that I've seen more results in the 8 months that I've been Crossfitting than in the whole time I've ever worked out in a typical gym. Just think what we'll look like in a year or two!

I got 2 during my warm-up. I have only been trying to do an unassisted dip my whole life. Other notable facts: I have now been Crossfitting for 7 months Oct. '07 thru Apr. '08 That is 159 WODs and 53 "Rest Days" according to my record-keeping. I completed 135 of 159 WODs during that time. Of 24 WODs I missed, I still worked out in some manner on 10 of those days. I also worked out on 25 of 53 Rest Days. I did that a lot early on, but have come to value the REST of Rest Days more so in the past few months. I think the rest is needed for genuine recovery. Biggest changes and accomplishments since starting Crossfit: Lost 20 lbs. 4 minute improvement in 5K time Have done a 300lb. Deadlift Went from 0 pull-ups to now can do 8 unbroken pull-ups and 1 with 55lbs. added weight. My wife can't keep her hands off me. I have only had 3-4 minor muscle strains over the 7 months, and no other injuries. Despite having significant scoliosis, I have had no spine problems doing as much as 125lb. clean and jerk. Crossfit has made the most dramatic physical changes in my physique of any activity that I have ever participated in. I wake up in the morning, and for the first 10 minutes, I feel like I am 90 years old. Then I start spinning my arms around, do a couple of Samson stretches, a few squats, and I am ready to start working on some core, or pull-ups, or whatever. Breck, thanks for changing my life.
