FulcraFit Peacock Crossfit Socks: Product Review and Giveaway!

by ~jenniferlynn on May 21, 2013

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

In a quest to perfect my deadlift form, I have experienced a fair share of bumps and bruises along the way. It has been somewhat nice that the Michigan weather has been a bit chilly and I can hide my pasty, banged up legs underneath pants, but shorts season is inevitable and I am no longer able to use my pants as a shield against the Crossfit elements of deadlifts, box jumps, and rope climbs. Crossfit socks seem like the logical solution!

While I am quite fond of my ProCompression socks, which are great for leg support, they do not offer any sort support for the skin on my legs. Then somehow I stumbled upon a unique sock that I had not seen before – FulcraFit’s Peacock Sock. [click to continue…]

The Ups and Downs of a PR

May 14, 2013

There is always a bit of friendly competition that goes on within my Crossfit box. First and foremost, you are always competing with yourself. With each workout, you can notice progress from how you performed the time before or how you feel afterwards. If you repeat a WOD, you strive to go heavier, or faster, [...]

Health and Wellness Review: Natural ReCharge

May 12, 2013

Since I started working out more seriously and eating healthier, I have never been so in tune with my body, nor have I started to pay more attention to any ailments or discomfort. Since eating cleaner, I’m more cognizant of what I am putting into my body, which makes it difficult to buy into the [...]

Crossfit > Dating

May 3, 2013

“How many of the speed dating guys emailed you so far?,” my mother asked me last weekend. If you remember I briefly mentioned on the blog that I went speed dating a couple of weeks ago. Half of the time I was there, I was bummed about missing out on Deadlift Day, and as much as I tried not [...]

Lady Lifter Spotlight: Camilla!

May 2, 2013

Do you ever passively stalk websites but you never feel right commenting or posting? I’ve stalked tgipaleo.com for awhile but never really piped in. I had her in my Google Reader under “Paleo Food” sites so when I was in need of a recipe, I’d skim that list, but often her content was overlooked. But [...]

Lady Lifter Spotlight: Dawn!

April 25, 2013

When I started blogging I never really understood Twitter. I’d get overwhelmed and confused by all of the RT and #hashtag and #FF and other crazy terms. But I read a lot about it being a great networking tool, so stuck with it. Thankfully I have because otherwise I would have not ever met this [...]
