A few things about Lindsey a.k.a. 'Mo Legs'...

What is your favorite lift/movement?
Hang Clean

What is your least favorite lift/movement?
Overhead Squat

Have you achieved any of your goals that you started with?
Yes, in and out of the gym. Inside of the gym, 2 examples are a 200# Back Squat and my first muscle up. Outside of the gym, 2 examples are finishing the Breck Epic Mountain Bike Race and having the stamina to work 14+ hour in the OR.

Tell us one or two things we might not know about you.
I come from a family with addiction and take pride in the fact that I have been able to navigate this in a healthy way.

What are your hobbies/interests?
Skiing, mountain biking, and CrossFit of course!

What advice would you give to a newbie joining CFV?
Keep showing up, even if you are sore, even if you are scared, even if you are self conscience, even if you are tired - keep showing up and let our community help you through it and have a few laughs in the process

What results have you seen so far since coming to CFV?
Countless - more self confidence, less knee and back pain from building more muscle, looking better naked ;), more endurance on my mountain bike and skis, less stress, better ability to cope with work stress, and overall great friendships and relationships. 

What are your future training goals?
Consistently hit muscle ups, get a strict muscle up, get a strict handstand push up, and better shoulder ROM. 

Give us some words to live by or your favorite quote.

What were your thoughts after your first CFV workout?
My thought after my first workout at CFV was... I'm home. :)
