Why is the Ski Erg a Thing?

by

Does anyone else find it odd that in a sport that specializes in not specializing that we use an incredibly specific piece of equipment that is meant for cross country skiing?

Why do crossfiters have better shoulders than Olympic weightlifters?

by

Many of the crossfiters have way better 3d shoulders compared to Olympic weightlifters. I'm taking about the 3D look of the shoulder that is really hard to attain. Even Olympic weightlifters who snatches over 180kg don't have as impressive shoulders. Is it because of high reps low weight in crossfit? submitted by /u/jonassmile76 [link] [comments] SOURCE: CrossFit on reddit - Read entire story here. … [Read more...]

Exporting from MyWod – Need Help

by

Hey - I'm trying to export data from an old App that I have for iPhone called MyWod. This came out back in 2014 and I've been using it since them. I've been able to track all of my workouts, and I'm looking to move to another app since this one is no longer supported and cannot be downloaded on a new phone. When I export it exports as a .mywod - is there any way to export this as a .csv or convert it from a .mywod to a .csv … [Read more...]

On-Ramp

by

I don’t know what on ramp is like in most gyms, but anecdotally it seems like it’s an afterthought in some, including mine. It was such a blur, and months later, I still feel like I don’t know proper technique for several key lifts. It seems like the attitude of the coaches is, you’ll figure it out over time. But i wish it was a more thorough introduction. Feels like I was just thrown in without knowing anything. What about you? submitted … [Read more...]

Day pass for the games?

by

I looked on the website for ticket options, but it doesn’t look like they sell day passes. Does anyone know if there’s a way to purchase a day pass in-person? I will be in town for only one of the days but would love to drop in and watch a couple of events. submitted by /u/olgark [link] [comments] SOURCE: CrossFit on reddit - Read entire story here. … [Read more...]

Breathing in GOWOD app?

by

Hey! For the past year I’ve been doing 15 minutes of Ashtanga in the morning with the Downdog app. I would like to try out something new and have recently found out about GOWOD. What I like however about ashtanga is the breathing that is incorporated. Would the people who use the gowod app say that this is also still incorporated in the functions of gowod or do they maybe do something else to still also work on their breathing on a daily basis? … [Read more...]

Sore Leg Relief for Newbie

I recently joined CrossFit. I did 3 ramp up classes and today was my 3rd actual class. My thighs as so incredibly sore after every class and I'm looking for advice on how to alleviate some of the discomfort ( or at the very least, how to approach the toilet without using the tub to carefully lower myself onto the throne 🤣) submitted by /u/Aspie-G [link] [comments] SOURCE: CrossFit on reddit - Read entire story here. … [Read more...]

Schwinn Airdyne Comp Dead Display/Computer?

by

I have an older Schwinn Airdyne Comp and the display has gone out. Slowly dimmed while using it and then went out completely. I figured it was the batteries, but I replaced them and nothing happened. Still no power to the display. I loosened some screws and wires and stuff looks in place. Any ideas what could be up?

Wendler 5/3/1 question

by

Hi everyone! I started my first Wendler cycle 5/3/1 (back squats-monday / push press-Thursday) after being away from the gym for couple months. The question is it normal to hit +10 reps of the last set of each week in cycle 1? As far as i know athletes dont tend to retest their max lift after each cycle so they just add 5lb lower body and 2.5lb for upper. Would you recommend adding 10lb to back squats and 5lb to push press for my next Wendler … [Read more...]

Hey Just got into CF about a month ago and, well, my mobility still sucks ass. I can barely sit down 'starfish' and grab my toes - and it's really embarassing , especially when it's pointed out.

Can anyone recommend maybe some … [Read more...]

Long story short it that I’m looking to switch up my programming, before committing I’m hoping to compare a few different programs. And rather than putting my CC info into a million different programs to get the 7 day free trials I’m hoping for some help… could anyone out there send me a full days worth of programming from the major blogs? Ideally something like two Mondays and two Wednesday so I can see the progressions from one week to the … [Read more...]

Normal growth timeframe?

by

Staying consistent with weight/resistance training 3-4x/week and metcon 2x/week, for the last six months. I never did anything but cardio before I began with my coach. Eating clean (high lean protein, complex carbs, little sugar) with 30/30/40 basic macro counts. Scale keeps going up, but body fat isn't going down. Only able to do three proper push-ups in a row after six months (couldn't lift my body off the floor when started--was thin … [Read more...]
