How's the weight loss going?

Very slowly - but still progressing. I'm down in the high 240's low 250 range (depends on the day) now.

09/10/11

Braemer stone throws - 16lb shot x 60, 28lb shot x 40 (30/20 per arm) - threw both for distance and height

Portland stone throws - 97lb stone x 25

100 pullups (one set of 12 - worked down to sets of 5's).

45 mins of drift boat rowing & swimming

Man, I challenge somebody to find a more explosive full body movement than throwing

Nice to hear, I've never tried stone throws, just have to find me one :grin:

Go down to your local river - the rocks are usually nice, round and smooth.

Still hanging in the high 240's - mid 250's depending on the day - been here a long time. I feel good and my pullups and other exercises are still slowly getting better so no worries.

Crossfit 12.3 (24" box jump x 15, 115lb pushpress x 12, 9 x toes to bar - as many rounds as you can in 18 mins) x 7 rounds. Switched to leg raises after first round - toes to bar kill me after a few rounds (I guess thats the point, no?).

1 hr 10 min hard ride on the bike a few hours later.

Wanted to try it with a buddy for fun - top guys are in the 12-13+ rounds.
