I am sure I will. The biggest problem is my work schedule and getting to the gym. There are some weeks where I am only in town 1 or 2 days.
Ya consistency is key. The programs from my experience are blocked up 2 week strength, 1 week heavy metcon, 2 week strength etc
Yes in 5 weeks I have noticed a definite increase in strength and physique. For me its crucial to eat huge as with crossfit there is tons of cardio involved. I want to keep my lean physique while adding lean muscle. I like running so ill never be "swole". Ive learned while working out 5-7 hours a week I need Atleast 2500 calories a day to gain probably should be getting in 3000 but its tough to eat that much man
You have a point. I see so many people train hard and then eat total trash. You can't out-train bad nutrition.
Many people are willing to sweat for an hour, but not give up favorite "food". I don't get it.
Yes nutrition is 80% of it imho. Eating paleo is easy for me which is why I've done it for so long. Its also important to minimize stress, sleep a lot and not over training is huge too. Personally I've never liked going to a gym and working out which is why I like the class atmosphere it pushes you hard
You won't overtrain. Crossfit may leave you sore because of the odd volume they do, but over training is something that is thrown around alot. Look at John Broz and his lifters or an other world class olympic or powerlifting place. Not being confrontational, just saying don't be afraid to push wayyyy past where you think you can go especially as a beginner.
This. Overtraining is hard to do. Not eating enough and not sleeping enough are common issues though.
I train CrossFit 5-6 days a week and run marathons regularly...Eat a lot, sleep a lot!

Rob Wolff was talking on Mark Bell's PowerCast and breaks down some diet misnomers for different types of athletes. Pretty interesting he is well known for his Paleo stuff but he talks about realistic diets including carbohydrates and how they are necessary even for fat people. Good stuff.

I consume on workout days 150-220g of carbs as I reached a point where using fat for my primary fuel source plateaued. Fact is tons of people don't consume more than 50g of carbs a day as they prefer ketosis.
Oh no doubt on a HF/LC diet my digestion was bad... Good gut bacteria needs food and fat isnt something they are favorable too.
