Are Men Becoming Less Male? Read this article and decide for yourself...

A Population-Level Decline in Serum Testosterone Levels in American Men

There is compelling data that shows that androgenic characteristics are decreasing not only with aging but also with lifestyle, diet and other characteristics. Why, you ask? Over the next couple of weeks, we will look at what having a sedentary lifestyle, diets full of high sugar loads and inappropriate work/stress ratios can do to our bodies. According to several endocrinology studies, men are becoming less male...

Just wanted to say good-bye to my Crossfit FTW family and that Dan and I will truly miss all of you. Darin and Clayton thank you for all your patience, help and understanding while trying to educate us. Crossfit was the only thing that help me actually start to lose the weight I put on. I am saddened that our journey with all of you has had to end so soon after just beginning. Thank you all to the members you made working out something to enjoy and not loathe doing. If any of you get up to KC look us up and keep in touch you have all touched our hearts.

I know I am becoming less of a man! ;) Just joking...I totally agree, and D and I were discussing all of the ramifications of the decreased androgenic characteristics in our society...frightening! This AM, we did incline bench 3-3-3-3-3: 45-55-65-75-85 (assist x 3 on the last set). Then, tabata squats: 196 total (24, 25, 25, 25, 25, 24, 24, 24). I little lower on my high number, but I think my low score was the same, and overall, I was happy with my consistency. Great, fast WOD to get my day started.

As Rx'd 12:54. Did this one w Dman. Passed me on the KTB's on last round and I couldn't catch up. Of course he was already worn out from swimming this morning :). Great job 5:30 class!

We will miss you Andrea and Dan! Come back when you can.

Correction.... TTB's. I don't think my knees will go that high.

Troy commented on 28-Sep-2010 08:03 PM

15:49 with 135#. Killed about an extra 20 seconds since i can't read and started to do pullups for the push-ups. I guess I wanted to make it harder. Thanks Corey for correcting me.

CFFTW WOD: 19:10. Not happy with the time, but my back was not cooperatiing on this one! 95# DL, full push ups, full TTB. Great job everyone, especially you Troy, going the extra mile with the pullups! :)

This was my very first WOD. Full weight on the deadlifts, but my "Toes to Bars" looked more like "Knees to Nips". Finished in 16:05 with a great big asterisk, but glad to be on the road to better fitness.
