Best way to improve pushups (100 for time)

by

I just restarted CrossFit after a two year break after an injury. My numbers are sooo low. Just did 100 PU for time at the beginning of the year (7:52) and now I tried it again after two rest days. (7:39) It‘s an improvement but barely. I think it‘s just because I knew what to beat. I set out to do sets of 5 every 20 seconds but couldn‘t keep the pace after around 60.. Any tips? submitted by /u/69_BABATUNDE_ [link] … [Read more...]

Box Drama, Bullying, and Bad Culture

by

I just woke up in a cold sweat from a nightmare that forced me to relive a pretty horrible bullying situation I went through at my old box at the age of 16. While it’s been almost 10 years now, but it got me thinking. While I won’t go into the details, because to be totally honest, I could write a novel, I was wondering what situations my fellow redditors have experienced in this category and what was done or wasn’t done about the situation. I’ve … [Read more...]

Vital Proteins Discount Offer Cancellation

by

The offer (free sampler pack) was posted here a few days ago. (Looks like the post was deleted.) If you ordered, I’m assuming your order was also cancelled. I’ve purchased some of there stuff in the past but this is the nail in coffin for me in terms of never purchasing from them again. Terrible business practice. submitted by /u/BambooMountain [link] [comments] SOURCE: Fitness Time with Friends - Read entire story here. … [Read more...]

Building home gym for CrossFit, low ceilings

by

Hi all. Looking for some advice. My garage, where I’d like to build my home gym, has 100” (8’ 4”) ceilings. As of today I can’t really raise them up higher (might be an option for the future). What have you all done in your garage setup? Mostly interested in the rack for any overhead lifts. I’m 6’1. For the box jumps I can just set that up outside. Will be limited when it’s raining though. submitted by /u/cdnmike [link] … [Read more...]

Evolution of Crossfit shoes

by

I’m eager to learn about the evolution of use of your Crossfit shoes. I don’t really know how to describe it any better so let me start by telling you mine. Like many Crossfitters I’ve a shoe problem. My Nano 4’s were my main squeezes for a long time, honestly for a few years until Nano 7’s came out. My Nano 4’s then became something of a hiking shoe, and the pair I would always take with me on city trips when I had to walk for along time. Like … [Read more...]

Want to add in hypertrophy program, but is it too much?

by

Hi, has anyone added lifting days to their weekly WODs? I’m considering Renaissance Periodization physique training 2-3 days a week. I’m doing typical WODs 4 times a week and a Saturday CrossFit endurance class. I enjoy CrossFit but would like to see some more drastic body composition changes. I was thinking I could hit a globo gym to train after the lighter WODs. I used to weight train in my 20s, got into CrossFit about 18 months ago. I’m in my … [Read more...]

Has anyone gone from zero squat mobility, to acing full snatches?

by

I've been doing crossfit for about 3.5 years now. Since day one I've had squat and shoulder issues - I couldn't get to parallel in an air squat, and even superman holds were a stretch for my shoulders. This has cause headaches when trying to do full snatches. For the past 2.5 years I've been doing lots of extra mobility, drills, and 1 on 1 coaching outside of class. I've come a hell of a way and can now do ass to grass squats … [Read more...]

Shoulder Joints and Kipping

by

I switched to Crossfit in October after a decade of traditional lifting and Kickboxing/Muay Thai. My lifts have all exploded as well as my lean mass/BF ratio so Im very happy. During my entire lifting career I avoided certain overhead movements because my shoulders are prone to dislocation, diagnosed literally as having 'very loose joints'. I'm competing in the Open in March and am worried about my shoulders for kipping. I have no … [Read more...]

Doing Crossfit with big boobs…

by

I have been doing Crossfit for over 2 years now. I absolutely love it, but my larger than normal boobs have made it very uncomfortable for a lot of the movements. I have struggled to find a sports bra that has coverage, enough compression, etc. I have basically been wearing two bras which is not comfortable. If anyone else struggled with this and has any suggestions, I am all ears! Thanks :-) submitted by /u/eels_and_escalators … [Read more...]

Bully Situation at CrossFit?

by

Encountered a bully situation at my local CrossFit, curious how would folks would have handled this. Backstory ... With COVID, our Box has a policy of wearing masks, as well as assigning everyone a 12' x 12' square. Basically wear a mask, and workout in your square. Enter Gym Bully... Dude is in the square next to me, and decides he's not wearing a mask. His body, his choice ... I guess ... whatever. My comments to him are... Hey, not … [Read more...]
