Hey all, the girlfriend love those poppi sodas and in particular Shirley Temple, Rasberry Rose and Sour Apple flavors. Question I have is does anyone know where these are sold retail near WC, like maybe at target or Walmart?
207 to 189 in 2 months. Primarily CrossFit (not classes but much longer and in depth programming from one of big training camps programming) with triathlon training on side. (For a sprint not a full I ain’t got time for that).
I don’t see much about CrossFit in here so I thought I’d add in my two cents about my experience with ret and CrossFit.
STRENGTH; no matter how you cut weight, strength will at some point A. Be less consistent and B. Take a very noticeable dip. My max back squat was 445 done at 200lbs and I was struggling getting through 315 for pause doubles. I am a 255 snatch and struggled to hit 225 from the hang for a single the other day. It’s the cost of doing business.
GYMNASTICS; oh boy, my body weight everything has gotten so much better. My RMU, BMU, handstand walking and HSPU and its variations have improved so much just from being lighter. My worst movements have even gotten better (I hate anything involving box bc I’m only 5’7).
TIMING; timing of food is king when you got limited calories. Save those simple carbs and avoid high fat foods in those 3-4 hours leading up to training. I have thrown up mid workout from not being super careful about this. Do not skip protein and make that protein daily intake goal 1 and carb timing number 2 like it’s life or death. Digestion is slower so take that into account.
PS; if you are reading this and looking to start, here’s what I’d suggest. Make sure you know what you’re doing with calories and understand what your macros are before doing literally anything else. Second, depending on your gym don’t shout from highest peak what you’re doing bc no one will care and if they do, they will just immediately jump to conclusions you are doing other stuff as well and that’s never fun.
