I'll have to check on mine, but I think one end of the strap is wrapped around the left end of the buckle in that pic and then sown together. You could wrap it through that buckle and tie it off. Then the other end runs thru the spring clamp on the right side.

You can pick up just a regular buckle and wrap it back into itself. I finally got mine hung in a good spot last night. I'll snag a picture of what I have and post it tonight.
On another note. Today's workout at CFE was great. Standard warm up. Then we moved on to a set of Concept2 rowers in a semi-circle with a laptop in the middle. The laptop is connected to a USB hub and all the rowers are plugged in as well. The laptop is running some race software that puts you up against everyone else. You have your own lane and your rower screen has your name on it. It starts a countdown and will even false start you.
We did a 1000m, 500m and 250m sprint. It was pretty cool. I'm waiting on pics and I'll post them when I get them.

Hey Danny,
Thanks for getting those pictures up. I should be able to find those buckles at home depot maybe, no? Anyhow, had I known all that stuff together was $65, I may have just opted to go with that option. I paid all together ~75 for my materials. Anyhow, I'll see if I can pick up those buckles maybe at the hardware store or something and mess with it.
As for the shoulder, it's pretty much 100% as far as I can tell. I've been doing heavy stuff with it and everything so it's looking good.

^yeah, that is a brutal, brutal workout. But it's a good kinda hurt. You feel great afterwards.
On another note, I went to the grand opening of a local Crossfit gym and pushed myself for a half cindy. I got 4 rounds done in about the first 3 minutes and then I burned myself out and ended up only getting 8 rounds for the 1/2. I never felt as nauseous as I did after this one.

I just did it for the second time yesterday. My advice: don't eat much before attempting this. I didn't see pukie, but I did see his cousin "threw up in my mouth a little bit". None of it is very difficult by itself, but string those all together and you want to die about 200-250 reps into it. And the burpees at the end is just cruel.

I hit a new PR in pull-ups today. 36 Only 4 away from 40. I'd like to hit 40 by the end of the year.
We then proceeded to do a nasty row, kettlebell, jumping pullups workout.
30 Cal's on the rower
20 kettlebell swings
30 jumping pull-ups
x3 rounds
I think my time was 15:something.

I haven't been able to check in for a long time; I've been so busy with work. I got around to doing the CFTotal again a couple days ago and I went up plenty from my first time in ~June. My squat felt stronger too, but without a spot I couldn't try my hardest so my numbers were actually down for that from June. But I was disappointed cause my shoulder press had no change.
Squat: 265 (down from 280)
Press: 140
Deadlift: 285 (up from 265)
I'm gonna start lifting a little heavier. I feel like I've been using a bit of mass with crossfit, but I'm also torn cause I've never been as defined as I am now.
edit: oh and I love my rings. I have yet to complete a muscle up.

I've skipped the last couple of CFTs for one reason or another. I know my press has gone up a little. I think it was 155 the first time. I've gotten 160 in another workout since, I might be able to get 165. My deadlifts have improved a lot. I really struggled to get 300 the first time, and just the other day i was doing multiple reps with 325. I don't even want to think about squat though, I'm allergic to squats. I think i got 235 last time, and I'd be happy just to get that again.

We ran Karen today at CFE. WOW. Talk about a leg killer. Karen to refresh your memory is 150 wall ball shots with a 20lb medball. My time was 11:10. Pretty good for my first time running through. I was shooting for sub 12 min. I should have ground through the last few sets for a sub 11 min.....

heavy deadlifts scare me. I've had lower back problems in the past and I can just see it giving out. I got a new PR recently but I did 4 reps so i know I can do more weight but I'm apprehensive of trying it.

On another note, today's workout sucked.
Warm up was:
1min jump rope,
5 pullups
5 squats
x2 rounds
Dowel push presses from behind the back -8
Dowel overhead squats-8
x3 rounds
Workout was:
500m row
15 OHS (with standard bar)
15 pushups
x5 rounds!
A simple bar gets really heavy after 75 over head squats......

Hey guys,
Just wondering for those of you that crossfit what are some fees that you guys pay at your gyms??
A new one finally just opened up near me, and it sounds a bit pricey but apparently all crossfit is more expensive than regular gyms... $115/ month for unlimited classes what what I think they quoted me....

Also ask if you can pay for 3-6 months in advance. I paid 6 months in advance, and saved 20% off of the unlimited fee's.

bah... it's 115/month for the crossfit and 30/month for a membership at the gym they train in... so 145/month... definitely an increase from my 30/month membership I'm paying now...
I'm going in for my free first workout today and I'll let you guys know how it goes... definitely will be different from doing the WODs by myself...
Maybe I'll go a few months and then take a few off?? ... I'm still trying to pay off some school debt and 1,500+/yr is a fairly significant expenditure for me right now...

So I went yesterday and holy crap... the warmup alone kicked my ass...
the guy was great, helped me with my kipping for pull ups, and critiqued my form on squat cleans, power cleans, squats and skipping (where I probably need the most help lol)...
and then when I was toast, I ran through a Cindy.
I definitley think i'm gonna go for at least a few months of this... cuz damn I was there for an hour and a half total, alot of it was talking and going through stuff and then the last bit I watched some guy pound out an Elizabeth - and i was sore leaving... and sore the whole night.
I'm almost never sore the same day as a workout... feels great!
