Hey everybody/Coach,
Just figured I should introduce myself before I started posting in the other threads.
My name is Rafael, I'm 30, 5' 4"-ish, and about 130lbs.
I'm not completely new to training as I have done weight lifting etc. in the past, but have just gotten back from a 8+ month hiatus (fell off the wagon).
I was really interested in Crossfit, and through researching rings, came across this forum. Not only did this appeal as an excellent way to get into prime functional physical conditioning, but I think the work seems more fun than barbells/dumbells.
I have been lurking the forum for a little bit, in the hopes of not asking too many questions that have already been answered time and time again. I will/do have questions though, as the information is a little overwhelming, but I will save that for later. I'm realizing that my experience with weights doesn't apply as much as I thought it would, and I have been constantly jumping back between the forum and a word document I made with the acronyms in it.
About 15 minutes ago I got my tax return direct deposited into my bank account, and ordered PKG2 from the store immediately afterward. I can't wait to get started. I'm currently living in a big house with lots of roommates, and there are pristine places to hang rings and even a rope climb.
Prior to tonight I have just been learning, and I did try out some of the Frog Planche yesterday. I was quite surprised how sore I was the next day, although I will admit, I haven't worked out much lately.
Part of my dishonorable hiatus was due to the fact that I was in school. I just got a Film degree, and I plan on taking a lot of progress videos and pics. I also plan on posting videos in the Digital Coaching section as soon as I get started.
Anywho, I'm glad to join up and get crackin'!
Thanks everybody, and thanks Coach! ![]()
