I don’t want to get big

This is a statement I hear all the time.  Take a few minutes to read the two articles below and hopefully it will get you excited about picking up heavy stuff!  First, if you want to look like a bodybuilder you have to train like one…and possibly take steroids.  This type of training looks like high rep medium weight sets, little to no cardio, and eating a lot of food to provide a surplus of calories for your body.  This is not what we do at CFUV!  We do a variety of running, gymnastics, power lifting,olympic lifting, jumping,throwing, etc and combine this with a diet that reduces inflammation and supports your activity level.  Did you know that after the age of 25, the average person begins to lose a percentage of their muscle mass each year. Each pound of muscle burns somewhere around 37.5 calories per day.

Skinny fat

Strength training for women

 

Let me just use this as my personal testimony as to how a solid workout program that includes resistance training combined with a paleo diet can get you and keep you the healthiest you’ve ever been.  Here is a snapshot timeline:

The pic on the left is vegan Brandy, that’s right vegan.  This pic is from June 16 2005.  I weigh 128, wear a size 6 and never work out.  I have about 24% body fat .  I kept this up for about 6 months and even though I still wasn’t a fan of how animals were treated, I started craving meat again and that ended my vegan days.
The pic on the right is fat Brandy.  This pic is from Jan 19 2007.  I weigh about 155 and am squeezing into a size 8 with 27% body fat.    I was working out at the local globe gym 3 or more times a week doing the treadmill or elliptical for 20-30 mins, lots of abs, and some machine weights, I would rotate this with an awesome kickboxing class where you actually punch and kick a heavy bag (but was not seeing any results).  My first recorded CF workout is from March 22 2007.  I actually started CrossFit in February, but waited one month to start tracking my wods.
Fast forward to today and I currently weigh 127, wear a size 2 with 14% body fat.  I work out 4-5 times a week, I do some extra lifting and skill work in addition to the daily wods, but that’s it!  I am strong. I can shoulder press 105, back squat 235, deadlift 280, clean and jerk 170, and snatch 135.  I am not bulky!  This is not an opportunity to brag, but really to show you that you that it’s okay to lift and you don’t have to be afraid of getting huge while you do it.  Also take note that it took me about 1.5 years to go from 128-155.  It took me about 1 year to go from 155-134 and since then my weight has averaged out at 130 for the last 4 years!

The Goodwins

CrossFit UV Well Wishes!
Monday was the grand opening for CrossFit Hermes, Dave and Angie Goodwin have started a great new affiliate in Spanish Fork. We are sure that Spanish Fork is in good hands as Angie has done a great job, working with our endurance program. We are extremely sad to see them go they have been such a huge part of our family at CrossFit Utah Valley. We hope to see them around the gym working out from time to time and wish them luck in their new adventure.

This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. On call of “rotate”, the athletes must move to next station immediately for best score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is one point.
