Recommendation for Gym barbells

by

We are starting a box and I’d like to know if you all have any recommendations for barbells? I am thinking of going with GetRXd WOD bars for most of them and sprinkling in other better bars. I know most folks won’t really care that much but I have a fair bit of folks that will be using the gym for open gym and I want to provide them with some solid equipment. I’m not running a Khalifa gym so we ain’t going Eleiko Olympic bars all around but any … [Read more...]

Singapore, Cambodia, Vietnam

by

Bit of an obscure one, just seeing if anyone has been to any of the crossfit gyms in these countries? There's a few in Singapore, but only a couple in the entire country for Cambodia & Vietnam. I'm on my travels and looking for a single session in different gyms as I move around. I've been doing crossfit for about a year, but I'm a scaled athlete, so don't want to be turning up for super serious training, which some of the … [Read more...]

Plyo Box recommendation? Roobox?

by

Thoughts on purchasing a plyo box? I'm not ready for an all-wood Rouge. Do the foam ones last? I imagine the vinyl stretches and even bunches up after moderate use. I'm thinking of trying the Roobox, it seems like the best of both worlds, but it's pricey. If you own one, do you like it? submitted by /u/Health_andFashion [link] [comments] SOURCE: CrossFit on reddit - Read entire story here. … [Read more...]

Programming…. (I know)….

by

So, I'm looking to change my programming. I'm not really that bothered about CrossFit anymore. I've picked up too many little niggles over the last 6/7 years. I'm looking for some form of programming that keeps things simple and it geared towards hypertrophy. I see a lot of love for Jacked Street but it doesn't include any wods. I would still like to include some wod's, I'm just not keen for the kipping aspect of … [Read more...]

Fun warmup recommendations

by

I’m a coach at my gym and whenever we have partner wods I prefer to have fun (safe) warmups/games, especially if not everyone knows each other. In the past I’ve done relay races, row competitions to see who can hit a certain distance exactly and burpees for over/under, musical ab mats, and a few other things that escape my mind. My biggest thing is making them progressively harder throughout the warmup and safe. I emphasize safe, because we did … [Read more...]
