Information on the powerdot?

by

Gullible? Probably. They say people that don't think they can be swayed by marketing are actually the most susceptible. I've borrowed a powerdot recently and if it doesn't actually help, at least it looks cool. Definitely think the portability is a stronger motivator than the other models (h-wave, complex, marc pro, etc). How do you like yours? Anybody got a promo code? ​ Getting old really sucks. submitted by … [Read more...]

Make Contacts at (New) HQ?

by

I'm a mid-career professional who really wants to get involved with CF HQ now that it's in Boulder. I've applied to a couple of jobs through CrossFit.com, but I know that any online application is a long shot. I asked my former gym if they had any contacts, even an Affiliate Support Specialist or something, with whom I could talk at HQ. They didn't have any. Can anyone think of a strategy to make contacts at CF HQ? … [Read more...]

How do you structure/programme your complexes?

by

Have gotten into barbell complexes owing to time constraints in my life, and I'm aiming for a balance between strength/power and cardio. I'm an ex-pro fighter in muay thai so I'm no stranger to ultra-high intensity and maintaining form under fatigue, and I've also done strength work for years and years. After gigging about with exercises, I've come up with this (it might already be out there under a different name but I … [Read more...]

Hylete Shoes alternative recommendation?

by

Got the latest model and wow they’re stiff and uncomfortable. Returning them this week. I’ve tried Nike running sneakers but they cut circulation off and are way too narrow - is this the same for their CrossFit shoes? I’ve also read nobull sucks but that Reebok is good? submitted by /u/SRV1981 [link] [comments] SOURCE: CrossFit on reddit - Read entire story here. … [Read more...]

Man Using a woman’s bar

by

Hello people, I've been working out from home a lot and only have access to a woman's 15kg bar. Still have heaps of plates which is great, so I can get some heavy lifts in. If I load it up to the same weight as the men's Rx (i.e account for the 5kg difference), is that still Rx? Also, with it being smaller should I worry about it affecting technique in the long term? More for weightlifting than normals CrossFit submitted by … [Read more...]

What grip do you use for which lifts?

by

Recently, there was a post about hook grip, and it got me thinking. A couple days ago I also learned about bulldog grip for various barbell presses. I’ve used a switch grip for heavy deadlifts for a few months. My question is what type of grip do you use for which lifts? Some say hook for almost everything, but don’t that include presses? I’m new to CrossFit but have been lifting in and off for years. Just want some more input and to learn how I … [Read more...]

Fatigue and carbo-loading?

by

Hello everyone, I'm a powerlifter who does crossfit, and on occasion I have REALLY good workout, but most of the time, I burnout and fatigue after a few minutes of working out (around the 10 minute mark usually). The fatigue doesn't feel cardio-vascular, it feels more like my muscles have reached total fatigue and I get light headed and just have no strength to even do a bodyweight movement. Then afterwards, I just feel drained much of … [Read more...]

Judging at the Games

by

I've been aiming to judge at the Games for a few years now. Started judging smaller comps in the UK, then I got to a large national comp, and then I moved to Asia where in the past two years I've judged a few competitions and head judged four others. In the meantime I've also taken my L1. My question now is – how do I get from where I am to the Games? There doesn't seem to be a clear answer whenever I ask people. There doesn't … [Read more...]

PushJerk.com

by

Nearest boxes to me are a bit out of the way and so the classes don't fit into my work schedule at the moment but am planning on giving it a go in the new year when work hopefully calms down as im no longer enjoying the classes/routine in my current gym. I was planning on getting started on my own using something like pushjerk.com. My question is do i just jump in from today which looks like its on week 10 of 16 or do i scroll back to week 1 … [Read more...]

Lifting in addition to CrossFit?

by

First off I love doing CrossFit! This is the only exercise I have ever consistently done. With that being said I feel like maybe I should be doing some standing weight lifting in addition to CrossFit. As background I’m 39 and have never been active or athletic. I have been doing CrossFit for a little over a year now and have definitely made gains but I feel like maybe I’m not putting in enough work in making more strength gains. My bench press is … [Read more...]

Is this a good balance for this training split?

by

I'm trying to balance My priorities for gaining strength w/ BP,SQ,DL. Easy pace runs to build aerobic fitness, and metcons as second priority to maintain. I'm thinking about replacing one of the 'run' days for a tempo/track workout Day 1: BENCH, SQ, DL Day 2: Run Day 3: BENCH, SQ, DL Day 4: Run Day 5: Metcon Day 6: Long Run Day 7: Rest submitted by /u/Away_Active [link] [comments] SOURCE: CrossFit on reddit … [Read more...]
