C - well said. I love crossfit and am very competitive but I know where to draw the line. The elite guys are unbelievably/ridiculously strong. I'm 5' 7" - 151 pounds. For me to try this workout with 165lbs is crazy. I know guys like Spealer can do it - but he's a freak - and honestly - this is what the guy does for a living.

While someday I would love to be able to come close to him, I am pretty satisfied in knowing that since I started Corssfit (15 months ago) I dropped over 17% bodyfat down to under 11%, can reel off a ton of push ups and pull ups, DL 2 1/2 x bw and bench 1 1/2 x BW comfortably. At 45 I think I'm in better shape than 99% of America. It's those damn 1% that still get me
