Glove up and let's go a few 5-minute rounds.  Frannie can get make the beast with two backsed.

you know you don't have to stir shit up in a thread where someone already mentioned that's why the threads don't last.


feel free to post pics of yourself all buff and in shape along with details of how you personally got that way and why it might work for others too.


What do you suggest in terms of a workout?

can I use my legs?  And can they be fingered gloves?


although even three minute rounds used to feel like a very long time unless we were outside the ring just watching.   ;D

Don't sip the crossfit koolaid too hard kids. Before I say anything else, just so you think I might know what I'm talking about.

From 8 months ago, but I'm a lot stronger now...
Fran: 4:15 as Rx-d
Cindy: 22 rounds
Crossfit Total: 880 @ 155, for a 5.7 multiplier

I'll second the idea that crossfit makes you good at crossfit things. But don't equate crossfit performance with performance in sports or at other activities. I never really did crossfit, but have pretty good crossfit scores as well as being a competitive olympic lifter and an alright grappler. I am of the opinion that a good periodized training protocol will produce better results, even if your goal is to do well at crossfitty things.

With all that, please just read these few articles/opinion pieces a try.

http://www.t-nation.com/free_online_article/sports_body_training_performance/question_of_strength_vol_47&cr=

Keep in mind Charles Poliquin has trained numerous professional and Olympic athletes, so his opinion has some merit.

Sure, man.

five-minute rounds felt like an ETERNITY the first time I did it.  Like anything in combat sports, though, you get used to it.

Wouldn't know.  Never done it.

I went to a CrossFit class once, and know several people who also go.  It seemed interesting, but I gravitated towards combat sports; I like the idea of learning skills along with getting an incredible workout (getting to punch and kick people is fun, too).

Why would I try fake "kickboxing" workouts, when I get a workout learning to kickbox for real and training fighters?
