I just joined a Crossfit box. Starting in July. Please go ahead and tell me what a mistake I'm making on this thread so I don't have to worry about your messaging me in private or anything like that.

Then go away. Thanks

Jeff

    If your experience is anything like mine, they'll do wonders for your technique. I'd like to think they're also going to do wonders for my physique goals, but it's still too early to know that for sure. So far, I'm doing a significant amount of work and starting to see a hint of actual progress (but it's still admittedly a little early to know for certain). Regardless, it certainly *feels* like I'm finally on the right track.

    My husband had horrible squats (not even breaking parallel). I gave up trying to help. A few weeks at crossfit and he has improved significantly.
    After one of our first workouts where we worked on squatting technique he wanted to know why he was so sore and I wasn't when we both used to squat at the gym and he could squat more then.

    Thanks! At least she won't be hard to spot.

    Ahh...now I won't get her logical and well-thought out reply to my response in that other thread.

    I figured she was blocked, this is entirely in jest. And yes, laughing AT her, not with her.

    Just did a two day elements class to go over all the moves. I'd never done cleans, snatches, overhead squats or thrusters. Cleans I had some trouble with, I just couldn't get the timing down. Everything else the coach said my form was excellent so I'm happy with that. Big believer in form.

    I've never done a pullup in my life so I'm looking forward to getting the first one in a few months and really looking forward to cardio boost I think I'm going to get.

    Yeah...I got multiple PM from her with all sorts of reasons and links to why I should quit crossfit.

    Not sure exactly what her beef is.

    Some people just pick a "mission" and feel it is their duty to tell you the truth as they see it.

    I live right outside of Cambridge, MA. Hippie capital of the East Coast. Believe me, I know the type.

    I got a PM from her telling me what I should and shouldn't advise or speak about on the boards. Who the f*** does she think she is?!? I told her how I felt then blocked her. I think she must have been that kid in school that was always chosen last for the team. She's got some sort of ax to grind, it'd be nice if she could just let it go.

    I don't get the hate for crossfit, if it's not for someone then they don't have to do it. I'll support anyone doing any workout as long as it works for them. If crossfit isn't your thing that's fine just stop judging others for their workout. Anyone can injured doing any type or workout or exercise.

    I never have either. I was hoping I'd get a nasty note about how CF is going to ruin my life, steal my husband and get me fired from my job.

    Oh well.

    Pretty sure its Health_Gal reincarnated for the 9 billionth time. She denies it but the arguments she makes and the overall agenda are eerily similar.

    She never actually denied it anytime I've seen. And linked the same article.

    I just have to wonder about how broken someone is who obsesses that much about Crossfit on a freaking message board.

    This^

    I've seen no denials and plenty of reasonable places to make them.

    I could've sworn when I flat out said, "Health_Gal, is that you?" that a couple posts later she said no, but now I can't find the link. But anyway, it has to be her. I think this is her third or fourth account since I've been on MFP. Ridiculous.
