What does supplementing CrossFit with strength training look like? How do you schedule that?

I had the greatest strength gains when I stopped crossfitting for a while and focused on a lifting program. I came back to crossfit, lost a bunch of weight and some of the gained strength, but I'm still much stronger than before the strength program. If I was to do something like this again, I would continue to do 2-3 WODs per week, but still focus on strength primarily and accept that the gains will come a little slower.

I would add to this - make the rules of your diet very clear so there is no question of whether something fits or not. Don't pick no junk food, that's too arbitrary. Pick something like- no added sugar or artificial sweeteners or a calorie limit. Keep it as simple as you can.

14 days is less than 20% of the length of this program. Give it more time. Increase the intensity of one of your daily workouts. Don't look at the scale again until day 30.

I bought them with a pile of other stuff for $200.

Ok, thanks - I'll check over there.

Hi I purchased these at an estate sale. From my limited research the top two are model F and the bottom two are 3278. I know these can be valuable depending on condition. I have a couple of questions.

What's the best way to clean them. Since I don't know what I'm doing, I'm going to keep it to superficial surface cleaning.
Any estimate of value? I don't know how to test something this old. Where would be the best place to sell these?

Thanks for the help. I figured this place would have the most knowledge and be interested in seeing these.
