Probably one of the last things I will try. I'm not dropping 280lbs on my head. I won't really feel comfortable doing it until I'm 40-50lbs lighter, if then.0 -
Favorites- any heavy Oly lifting (C+J is my favorite), pull ups, t2b, and double unders
Least Favorites- Rowing (I would rather run anyday), wall balls, and I also have a love/hate relationship with HSPUs and ring dips since they are two things I'm focusing on right now since I can only do a couple RX at time of each0 -
Favorites: Squats, Cleans, Jerks, Handstands (against the wall lol), Box jumps, Ring Rows (I haven't tried banded pull-ups yet but I've gotten very good at ring rows).
Favorite thing to work on: Running. I hated and i mean HATED seeing any running on the board when I got to WODs the first few weeks, but now I love it because it's such an easy thing to work on
Least favorite: Wall balls and thrusters, I can't breathe when I'm doing them and burn out after like 8 reps. T2B only because I don't have grip strength and I slip off the bar every other rep. Anything with an overhead bar (Snatches, OH squats) makes me extremely nervous so I still use only the 33lb bar and don't try to put weight on. I'm afraid I'll tweak my shoulders or back if I move the wrong way while that bar is up there. Plus I've smacked my head on the bar a few times and that sucks.0 -
Love lifting, favorite WOD is Pick your Posion0
-
I love long WODS - 20 to 30 mins with lots of different movements to keep me motivated. Love O/H squats, deadlifts, box jumps & handstand PU.
Used to love pull ups until I blew my shoulder out - their off the menu for the next forseeable future.
Hate running & thrusters .. with ... a ... passion....0 -
recently had to do burpee box jumps... add that to the list of things I hate.0
-
Those are on the board for us tonight.
The WOD is performed in 2 parts:
Part 1, starting at minute 0:
Run 800m for time
(rest the balance)
Part 2, starting at minute 6:
AMRAP 8
8 Burpee Box Jumps (24/20)
8 Wall Balls (20/14)0 -
Favorite: anything involving heavy weight (including thrusters)
least favorite: anything slightly gymnastic related (pull-ups, t2b, muscle ups, etc.) and/or extremely endurance related (running, rowing, burpees etc.)

Maybe I shouldn't comment. I'm still very new to CrossFit and can't really say I've found any move that I like. That is mostly because I'm still quite a bit overweight and out of shape. BUT, that's kind of the point isn't it. What I can tell you is that I feel pretty damn good at the end of a workout because I know that I'm improving each and every time. Also the people I work out with have been very encouraging Joe
Bravo! I'm also quite a bit overweight and love CF. You'll find stuff you like!0 -
Love: Snatches, Clean & Jerks, Heavy Squats (front/back/overhead)
Love-Hate: Thursters, Burpees, T2B0 -

that is awful!!!! burpee box jumps AND wall balls!!0 -
I love anything where we are lifting heavy specifically: deadlifts (all variations), bench. Also love sled pulls and farmers carry and rowing, slam balls
Hate - running, box jumps, burpees
Just not strong at - snatches and OHS
Yesterday we did a partner WOD of 30 power cleans (95/65#), 30 Pull ups and then an 800m run for 3 rounds. It sucked. I switched out ring rows for pull ups and rowing for running since i am just under 12 weeks out from a broken foot and still modifying things.0 -
we had to do something last week called 2fer wall balls. i have a new least favorite exercise haha0

Least favorite is thrusters or maybe lunges.0 -

This is interesting because I feel like wall balls and thrusters are essentially the same movement lol I hate both!0 -

True that!
Favorite is anything bodyweight (muscle ups, HSPU, burpees, rope climbs)
Least Favorite is box jumps0 -
I don't really 'hate' any Crossfit moves although there are several I'm terrible at and some I can't do at all (muscle-ups, pistols and others).
There are others I simply refuse to do and choose to adapt to protect myself from injury. For example, I haven't bothered to learn kipping pulls-ups because I think the risk of injury outweighs the benefit. I also swing KB's to eye level instead of overhead for the same reason.
My goal when working out is to push the intensity to the max while preventing injuries.0 -

I am curious, and I ask because I had the same thoughts regarding kipping until I read an article on the breakdown of kipping and butterflying. What injuries do you foresee on doing proper kipping?0 -
