    My company dabbled in 'the sickness' over in Italy, and I dropped off here at the Academy. I'm looking to get back into CF once I arrive back to Fayetteville. What are your thoughts on the Fayetteville CF gyms?

    I'm still trying to figure out what equipment you really need and an example exercise plan for a week or two.

    I looked at the website that was posted but I must be denser than a box of hammers.

    It was interesting, but I never got to the point where I could write out a week or two's schedule of exercises.

    Of course maybe I just need to look a little deeper.

    I'm seriously tempted to run to Home Depot and pick up a bunch of threaded pipes, etc. and make my own set of everything... Really all you need is a barbell, a few weights, kettleball, pull up bar, set of rings, and a dip station... good to go...

    Two words for you Sponge: University Gym.

    Eva and the girls just can't compete with all the jailbait running around that place.

    Starting this today, bored of regular routine gym sessions. Have a bench, barbells, dumbells, etc at home. I'll have to improvise or buy the rest as it comes.

    I don't have the equipment most of the time for the work out of the day.

    Any gym suggestions in Fayetteville? I'd imagine they have a CF group some place, on of the gyms on post?

    There are some in the area. You can do an affilliate search on the Crossfit website.

    I started the WOD when I was deployed. I saw some guys on my FOB working out and they were freaks! They had the rings and had built a box for box jumps. I just substituted an exercise if I didn't have the equipment handy. For me, the hardest part is the technical lifts. I did cleans and deadlift in HS, but that is it. You can seriously jack yourself up if you aren’t careful with those. Now that I am back I am going to stop by one of the local affiliates and see about joining. They give military/LEO discounts.

    I finally started Crossfit with a trainer at the gym on base. I can honestly say I have not been smoked like that in years. It was simply outstanding!
