    What percent of your income goes towards fitness?

    @christian2011 About 3%. I am mid 30s and I pay $160 a month for CrossFit. I have a capsule wardrobe for my athletic gear so I haven't bought anything the last couple years. Will replace my shoes once every 2-4 years so that's another $160ish. I don't take supplements, years of forcing...

    Is it appropriate for a coach to physically correct you?

    @kingshellie I've never been touched while being corrected in CrossFit. It's always "butt back", "knees out", "hips higher/lower", "shoulders over bar", "elbows up", etc. You are not overreacting, the coaching can be done verbally before stepping in to touch you physically. You need to tell...

    How does your hamstring strength compare to your quads (e.g. leg curl vs leg extension)?

    @yttrium I'm hamstring dominant which is not as common for women. Since you have a PT they can tell you which exercises to do to strengthen the hamstrings.

    Deadlift form check (115 lbs, 135 lbs)

    LPT: go get all around blood work done at least every yr

    @tiff_tiff Yup, I was Vitamin D deficient and I live in SoCal and did crossfit outdoors during the lock down. Not that I was outdoors beyond that. I got it tested for fertility issues and found out Vitamin D deficiency doesn't help fertility. I was told by a doctor to take 2000ui daily.

    What's an actual realistic goal? Pictures and current routine included

    @patrick226 I had similar ish stats and body composition to you. Everyone's body is different. A small calorie deficit and my performance suffered a lot. I knew myself realizing this is just the body I have and calorie deficit isn't worth stalling and reducing my strength and cardio. Fat cells...

    LPT: go get all around blood work done at least every yr

    @starrss I dont have renal issues and was prescribed Vitamin D for my deficiency by my reproductive endocrinologist. Maybe you just think it is overhyped but Vitamin D can help in certain circumstances. Your extreme view is what is turning people off in this thread.

    No grip strength

    @dawn16 My hands are too small and shaped differently to do this. Works for most men though.

    What’s a little trick that made a huge difference in your form?

    @bkrolex For front squats, you have lasers pointing from your elbows. Make sure the lasers don't point at the floor.
