So, your CrossFit experience has started recently…

After mastering an obvious first step in any cross fitters experience – the hard dieting, you are probably ready for step 2. We know how exhausting it was, drinking all these “Gluten Free Protein Shakes” and all the organic food for clean eat you could have possibly found…Next step is to jump on back squats train and be inside the “cool crew” of your fitness club, eh?
