Rurik Harrgath Posted August 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 Glad to see so many familiar faces again! 2 hours ago, Wild Wolf said: I'm about to get on ETP, btw. I've been talking to Heather about it and it needs to happen. Now that my shoulder is floating around 98% it's time to get down and boogie It's quite the rabbit hole to fall down... I've struggled with keeping my nutrition in check for months now. If I can at least commit to a slow and steady bulk/recomposition I can hope to gradually reduce what remains of the bicycle tire around my midsection. Besides, eating more carbs is always more fun! 1 hour ago, Big_Show said: I don't quite understand what's going on yet, but I'll be following it regardless It's just a fancy book cover for a generalized challenge celebrating my love of CrossFit, Reebok, self-improvement and each and every theme inspiration that might come along the way.

It's going to be my overarching theme is challenge... self-improvement and full-spectrum Rangery! 13 minutes ago, Charlie_Quinn said: Following. They could have cut that Resolute description down to one word....Ranger. It's spot on! Agreed. The funny thing is, it's one of the most rare attributes to score on the Human Score test. Mostly Brain Buffs seem to come out of there. That add and the accompanying Reebok shenanigans was one of my earliest contributions to Ranger discussion last year. We had a grand ole time talking about the various scores and the meaning behind the philosophy of being more human. 4 Quote [Level ?] Altered Outrider (Tech Shaman/Lightning Tempest) BRUTALITY 13 | FINESSE 12 | GRIT 13 | INSIGHT 15 | MOXIE 13 Equipment: Armor of the First Altered (rare), ECA-AR4 'Space Revenant' rifle (rare), Outrider's pack & Enoch alchemy kit.

That Human Score is really interesting. I won't lie and say that #MomoaMonday doesn't hurt anything, either. Inspiration is my jam! I've loved Reebok's marketing since they teamed up with CrossFit HQ to promote everyman fitness. At the risk of sounding like a mindless fanboy, they just dialed in the philosophy for me with #BeMoreHuman. It doubly helps that I needed a challenge theme to encompass all of my interests and my focus on the Sport of Fitness coming down off the 2016 Games last month. 2 hours ago, Nymeria said: I'm following, of course!

I'd love to shed or recomp about 10 lbs, and I know I'm not going to get there with my current half-assed efforts. I cannot take credit for the signature change. Some devious Greek abused his moderator powers... but I'm not offended, so it can stay. Since I paid for their coaching plan last year, I still have access to all of ETP's hidden groups on Facebook and whatnot so the program definitely works. It just feels so bloody counter-intuitive to eat more food to lose weight in the long run. Building more muscle = more caloraic expenditure, so the science is sound but... well, I can't seem to live in 2200 calories right now anyways. Might as well build some muscle and keep killing it in the gym if I'm not dedicated to shredding the last of my tummy weight off. 2950 is such a more pleasant number for my love of chocolate and pizza!
