So what do you do now Luke?

Something soon so you don't end up like Tony Soprano

Take some pcp apparently.

You should eat more fish. That will help with your heart attack.

So seriously, is it just a goofball reading or what? Why didn't they say anything? That sounds like complete incompetence. If I had that reading and they didn't tell me and then died of a heart attack I would sue them.

No you wouldn't. You'd be dead.

Maybe. Maybe not.

Anyone here doing Crossfit? It seems to be polarizing among reviews by amateurs and pros alike. There's one fairly close to my house and I was considering giving it a shot. It sounds like it would be right up my alley if my body can hold up.

On a somewhat related note, has anyone tried the Paleo diet? I know that the Crossfit folks seem to like it. I looked into it and it seems alright. I was thinking of trying it out, especially if I end up joining the Crossfit gym. I've been trying to lose some weight and since I really don't have a plan I've been just kind of "eating right" but I feel like I'd be better suited if I had some direction or plan.

I go to classes similar to CrossFit, but they don't focus on rep speed. There's still plenty of metabolic conditioning, but doing as many deadlifts as you can in 45 seconds is a [expletive] stupid way to lose form and throw out your knee/back/shoulders/etc..

Not every "box" is the same, but I know a lot of guys that love it and a lot of trainers that think it's dangerous.

Bingo. Those are the prevailing arguments. Person A loves it, almost cultishly so, and person B claims it's too dangerous.

WTF is it?
