Love handles put the squeeze on lungs
"There's more bad news for people who carry excess weight around their waists: Not only is abdominal obesity associated with diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease and a host of other health problems collectively known as "metabolic syndrome," a new study has found that a high waist circumference is strongly associated with decreased lung function—independent of smoking history, sex, body mass index (BMI) and other complicating factors. . .
. . .Moreover, adipose tissue itself is known to be involved in a complex metabolic feedback cycle— the mass of adipose tissue in one's body directly and positively correlates with pro-inflammatory markers and negatively correlates with anti-inflammatory markers.
"[A]dipose tissue may act as an additional source of systemic inflammation." wrote Dr. Leone. . . "

Diablo CrossFit favorite Coach Mark Rippetoe has come out with a barbell training DVD:
Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training DVD
And I'll leave you with some Coach Rip Wisdom:
"...what should my ideal body weight be for this program? Have you made a table for this, or what do you recommend?" - trainee
"Your ideal bodyweight as an ectomorph at 6' 0" will be 214.378 lbs. There. Happy? And if you lose or gain a pound, I will have you killed. It is important to be ideal.." - Rip

This is from the CrossFit affiliate blog on Sat, Mar 7: "Fay Collinson (CF Manchester) won a gold in the 500m (with a time of 1:40.2) despite having broken her wrist weightlifting nine weeks prior to the event."
Holly, may your recovery be as fast or faster than Fay Collinson of CF Manchester!!

The weight on that WOD above Craig mentioned was 85 for women not 95. Craig did not realize that a really cute woman that was doing this WOD next to me got 24 but she did not have a hand and pretty much kept up with us. Her power cleans were with a medicine ball. I was totally humbled by her. Great little place to workout (CrossFit Balboa). It reminded me of the old Shed with a shower.

Did you say, "she didn't have a hand"....
Crossfit attracts savage people.
Posted by: Stavros @ Diablo CrossFit at March 8, 2009 8:23 PM
Yes Stav, no hand!!! Craig never noticed.
