What's everyone been up to lately?

[rydra_wong]

We haven't had a check-in for a while, and I thought an informal one might be nice. So:

What have you all been up to lately? What are you getting into? What's your latest discovery regarding the lifting of heavy things? Got any new toys or tricks?

Who's got a new achievement to brag about? Who's just getting started and would like some encouragement and cheering? Who's had to take time off owing to injury or life and could use some sympathy? How's it going?

Well, I've lately taken to having protein shakes after the crossfit workouts, so I probably protesteth to mucheth. But yeah, the paleo-evangelism is the one thing I really don't like much about crossfit. I just do my best to ignore it. (And then get all ranty online, apparently.)

But I totally sympathize with tailoring your diet to what makes you feel good and what works for a given person's level of activity and their goals in terms of endurance exercise or gaining muscle or whatever. I quibble with the alleged benefits of never eating a bean or a slice of bread or more than a third of a banana.
