Pixiecuts for CrossFit ?

by

Anyone in CrossFit with super short hair? Are pixiecut hairstyles helpful for working out ? I noticed from the CrossFit games that there did not seem to be many female athletes with very short hair, wondering if short hair helps at all rather than messing with headbands and keeping hair out the way. Curious to hear your thoughts submitted by /u/Amazing-Elk7739 [link] [comments] SOURCE: CrossFit on reddit - Read entire story … [Read more...]

Is Crossfit the best option for what im looking for?

by

Hey everyone Im 29 male, 100 kg (220 lb), 5'7 (1,70 cm) and in my town (i dont live in US) the only affordable Crossfit places have none of those deadlifts of whatever those bars with weights are called. They just keep jumping on boxes, ropes and running outside the gym. Im FAT and i need to lose weight, im kind of unmotivated to go to a regular gym cause there is no one to correct the moves and stuff. I was really thinking Muay Thai would … [Read more...]

What mode do you select on your Apple Watch for WODs?

by

Basically the title. I use the HIIT for metcons and usually functional strength training for any strength sessions. Also do you guys leave your watch running the whole time or pause between the strength and conditioning? Keeping it running drastically changes my calorie burn estimate submitted by /u/mlc4202 [link] [comments] SOURCE: CrossFit on reddit - Read entire story here. … [Read more...]

Egg Whites

by

Hi everyone! As the title implies. I have a question about egg whites. Can they be consumed raw? I watched a video where someone mixed it with their post workout shake to boost protein. Which leads me to my second question. Do you really need 50g of protein post workout? Im curios what people's thoughts on this are. Thank you in advance for your kindness.

Favorite men’s shorts?

by

I bought some Ten Thousand shorts and just returned them, didn't like the weird non-functional fake fly on the front of them. I've been wearing Nike Challenger shorts for many years, but I don't want to support Nike, Adidas, or Under Armor anymore. Any suggestions similar to the Challenger shorts from smaller companies? Veteran owned and U.S. made companies would be even better. submitted by /u/TA0537 [link] … [Read more...]

Is nutrition coaching worth it?

by

Does anyone have any experience with nutrition coaching? I am currently using RP Diet App but have thought about paying for some 1 on 1 nutrition coaching. I have used the RP app, myfitnesspal etc. and am familiar with macro counting and stuff like that but really just have been struggling for a while to lose weight. I am also aware of my shortcomings and feel a large part of my issue is not planning enough in advance. Without planning I make … [Read more...]

Anyone else feel like they want to hurl when doing dynamic overhead movements?

by

Thrusters, wall balls, snatches, strict press, push press... when weight and tension are put on my shoulders in an overhead position it triggers a sensation in my shoulders that makes me feel like I'm going to puke. It's not pain and doesn't appear to be a matter of strength as I am generally fine controlling the weight up overhead (and it occurs even with empty bar and/or low weight). Anyone else experience this and know what it … [Read more...]

Competitive program that takes 60-90 minutes

by

I know there are a lot of ‘60 minute’ programs but the ones I’ve seen feel a bit like ‘lazy programming’. Are there programs that take around 90 minutes or less that will get you ready for competitions? Or has someone followed one of those 60 minute programs and seen great progress? submitted by /u/Weak-Classic7161 [link] [comments] SOURCE: CrossFit on reddit - Read entire story here. … [Read more...]

CrossFit Equipment and accessory tools

by

I'm a very average CrossFitter. I go 4 times week consistently and I'd go more but there's no classes on Thursday and the open hours are limited at best. Anyway, I'm wondering what are the valuable items to have. With Christmas just around the corner, my in-laws always go all out on gifts and I figure this is a time when I'll request something that perhaps I wouldn't purchase for myself. Here's what I own: Versa lifts … [Read more...]
