        In my experience, those marks only go away when scrubbed by hand, but they really don't transfer much even if left there. Personal preference.

          Your machine was gone? You mean the stains were gone?

          And thanks for the input guys. Appreciate it

            Anybody have any experience with Crossfit? I found out there's a box by my house and I'm thinking about joining

                Yeah, I think I'll be ready for it sometime in the fall. Need to start hitting the weights soon to be ready

                But was wondering what folks think about replacing a traditional weight lifting program with this. I'm past the school of thought where I need to be able to lift a truck, want functional strength

                  Crossfit is essentially about explosive movements and muslce endurance, both of which you get from traditional weight lifting. In my opinion, if you're replacing one with the other, you're good to go, just expect to sweat alot more and don't expect to bulk up. If anything, you will trim down.

                    Ever considered Girya (kettlebells) Doug? Especially just sportgirya, simplified and uses basically only 4 moves.

                      Yeah, I've been thinking of that as well. Exploring a few options since my workouts are pretty much a clean slate. I've had to take some time off because of my injuries, but my physical therapy is coming to an end and I'm looking for a new program

                      You have a link with some info?

                              Kind of interesting, seems to use a lot of body english to move the weight around, which is the exact opposite of weight lifting where you're supposed to really control the weight and minimize your movements

                                yep, in giriya sports one uses whole bodypower to lift the weight. The arm holding the weight does almost nothing. That's pretty much it's quite comprehensive and works out whole body. Correct breathing is also important. Plus several small details.

                                Hit me a PM if you have questions, I'll try to find an answer as I'm just a noob in this also.

                                  Are there any special considerations to take when washing IH duck?

                                  I normally just throw my jeans in the machine and don't care, but I seem to remember someone having mixed results when washing something made from duck that way.  Can't seem to dig up the posts I'm thinking of either…

                                          ^ Earlier this year I ran through a super-simple kettlebell program my jiu jitsu instructor told me about. I've done lots of different types of training and programs over the years and I've never seen such an abrupt change in the shape of my body. Chest/shoulders broadening and muscle going on to my upper arms in a very short space of time.

                                          Just be careful to get your technique right before really pushing yourself.
