    That is why I keep a journal so I can make sure that I'm pushing myself each rep and exercise. A lot of people go to the gym, dont track their efforts and put no thought into a routine. That doesn't get maximum results. But my gym only costs $20/month so the money saved is due to me having to put in the time to make my routine.

    CrossFit is a good thing. It provides a welcoming environment and a structure so people don't have to build their own. It's just not for me. Im happy you found a niche and are staying with it. That's all that matters. I'm 6'1 and 198 lbs (give or take) so I'm not beastly huge but Im not a lean machine either. Im right where I want to be.

    I follow the thread because I like seeing people get healthier. I have huge issues with people that bitch about their weight but do nothing about it. Maybe because I was a fat kid and had to do weight watchers during middle school. Let me tell ya how cool that makes you in that age group. Lol.

    Also, Kips are not pull-ups. But that's neither here nor there.

    I think everyone posting in this thread can get on board with this statement.

    Yep, we have journals too. We track all sorts of stuff.

    I agree about the kipping pull-ups thing and have yet to do a single one. To me they look silly as shit but I'm sure once I get up to that level I'll find that (like anything) if you do enough of them it's a workout. lol

    When I get to that bridge I'll see if I'm going to cross it or not. I can always modify to do something else since there's like a dozen different pull up movements in Crossfit.
