Hey all- has anyone worked with Jacob Heppner’s company Functional Eating for nutrition coaching? I’m trying to get a feel for their program including pricing but I’m hesitant to set up an intro call. submitted by /u/asm1125 [link] [comments] SOURCE: Fitness Time with Friends - Read entire story here. … [Read more...]

I currently have standard Rogue Hi Temp (445mm) plates in my home gym. I don't normally drop them, but know they can take it. Anyway, I'd like to get some 10's. Anyone have any personal experience with the Hi Temp, Hi Temp Mil-Spec, Regular Echos? I recall the both the Hi Temp and Echo 10lb plates from my old CrossFit Affiliates were pretty flimsy and the ones that were most prone to "collar separation." I guess for home use … [Read more...]

Since CrossFit Games Part II will only be 5 competitors form each gender this year, it opens up some opportunities for creative/new programming. What kind of events and programming would you be excited to see at this year's games? What kinds of things do you think they should try this year b/c they would work uniquely well with a small field? submitted by /u/cb3g [link] [comments] SOURCE: Fitness Time with Friends - … [Read more...]

So every video I see on how to install the weighted plates to the plate carrier shows using the laser cut plates, which are much wider and thinner than the cast plates, so the straps wrapping up from underneath the plates, holding them in place and keeping them from falling down, easily grab the plate. The problem I have is I bought the cast plates, which are more narrow, and the straps the wrap underneath cannot both catch the plate. Since the … [Read more...]

hi everyone. I'm still pretty new to crossfit (like 2, maybe 3, months in). So far I'm enjoying it, and have definitely seen progress. Even exercises I'm not comfortable with at first, are getting better. The one exception is the overhead squat. I've had some shoulder injuries in the past, and I can't seem to get my body to listen when it comes to using weight. I practice the movement with a PVC pipe and can do it no problem, … [Read more...]

Preface: I am new to Crossfit and I have never watched the games, but I wanted to start a conversation about entertaining events and the unknowable. As many X in 10 minutes. Where X=burpees, wall balls, or calories on the bike. The idea here is to see the elites hit a wall and push through. I like this because I think it would really separate the field. FIT. It's like the game HORSE or SKATE. Since there are only 5 athletes this might work … [Read more...]

Hello All, I hope my post is appropriate,I just joined this sub and CrossFit irl. I've been assigned a frosty as described above to be completed with a weight that is approximately my 80% MR. When I asked about changing weight the teacher told me to break down the days into mini sets that I can do, so the 50-40...-10 becomes 25 sets of 6 (hopefully). In my opinion if the set is broken down im not doing the exercise prescribed, I'm doing … [Read more...]

UPDATE: Y’all, it went great! Thank you so much for everyone who gave me advice. I need to work on slowing down and remembering it’s not a race. We only did the baseline workout, and I was good on the rowing/jogging part but I am completely and totally embarrassed to say... I couldn’t do push-ups at all. Not even the “girl” kind. So that’s probably going to be one of the skills I’m focusing on. I did have a question though... is there a reason … [Read more...]

Our box is starting a new strength cycle that includes snatches. This lift is by far my weakest- I have a shoulder that subluxates (esp. when I’m tired and turn my shoulder in just the right way) which makes me so nervous when I lift anything over #70. Anyone have similar fears/issue with their shoulder? How have you strengthened it? I try to focus on squeezing my lats and pulling on the bar to create tension...but there just seems like maybe … [Read more...]

I did CrossFit a few months and then moved. It’s been about 1.5 months since I did it, but I took a on-ramp class last week. Looking at the class today it’s the Fran workout (thrusters and pull-ups) and I almost want to not go because I can’t do a pull-up and I’m embarrassed. If you saw someone new at your gym who couldn’t do it, be brutally honest, would you judge them? Edit to add: I’m super anxious. There’s been times I’d skip the gym because … [Read more...]

Looking at ways to help improve my resilience within workouts. I’m relatively fit and complete a workout if I start it, however I feel my mental capacity holds me back. Having completed some rowing and running bits recently I just can’t seem to push that little bit more for a long period of time. I can stop my run or row and feel fairly good cardio/breathing wise but muscles will feel pretty shot...with a very quick recovery on them leaving me … [Read more...]

Years ago I read a book by a Soviet author(s?) that made the argument that sports are inherently unsafe, and if adults' goal for children is to build up their bodies, children should pursue fitness instead of sports. The author(s) argued health, not competition, should take precedence in the gymnasium. The oath of doctors says "First, do no harm." I think parents, and maybe more importantly, administrators of kids should adopt the … [Read more...]

Guys, I had to quit after 5 years of being a committed 6 days a week CrossFit athlete. 2 years ago I ran into financial trouble and had to cut costs where I could, I sold my car, shopped at the dollar store and quit all “extracurricular” activities. I finally have enough money again to afford CrossFit. However, I am very anxious about it. A box in my area, that I went to for about 9 months recently opened a second location and did a promo code … [Read more...]

Don't get me wrong,I fully recognize how skilled Matt and Tia are,but after awhile you just really want to see someone else take that 1#.
