Hmmm, well, both are important. In a WOD you always want to kip because It's for time, but having strict is an important skill. I actually think though, this is one time the kip can help you get the strict. A push press allows you to move more weight that a strict press (because of the dip drive/ hip extension), therefor…

HSPU are one of my favorite movements. Strict, kipping, deficit, all of them!!! If you aren't practicing the kip, learn it now. I did strict for a year before I could get over my fear of the kip.

Because it's too HAAAAARD! (<--- read in 13 year old voice)

I got a message from her too. When she mentioned bootcamp to me I pointed out that if she were educated at all she'd know that most of the bootcamps these days are run by Crossfit boxes or by people who are Crossfit Level 1 Certified but not affiliated with a CrossFit box! So, her "advice" would just lead people to more…

She should eat a cookie full of complex AND simple carbohydrates. Balance is the key to feeling better.

Well, since no one called me out of this I feel obligated to tell you; honey, maple syrup, (both disaccharides) are all simple sugars/carbs. Sucrose, (table sugar) is also a disaccharide. So, essentially: honey, maple syrup, sugar cane and processed white sugar are chemically IDENTICAL. Therefore, if you are trying to…

I think some honey or maple syrup would do the trick. Those are natural. Or you can get some sugar cane and suck on that. Good luck on your detox!

Garage box 100% This is what I think about crossfitters and really the whole concept of crossfit: It doesn't matter where you WOD. I think most people don't care. The quality of coaching is the most important thing. If he's a great coach people will follow him anywhere. That's how I feel about my coaches. Many very…

HAHA! They are NOT bulky. They are LEAN. They weigh like 110 pounds on average.

Butter and chocolate are NOT banned. There is no need to suffer. Cook/bake the things you want to eat and remember that this is your life. It is meant to be enjoyed. Also: eat real cake. It's important.

When you look at the containers, which one do you really want to grab? Eat that one. 3g of protein in the grand scheme of an entire DAY is not a big deal.

Good God what will they be doing next? Teaching ALL the kids how to squat down properly and pick up heavy objects without getting hurt??? Well, that would just be CRAZY. And thank goodness they've stopped teaching our delicate young flowers how to cook over a dangerous open flame in home economics. No good could ever come…

Please, someone! Paint this on a wall somewhere!

Competing for the first time next weekend. Have attended many local CF comps and they are all about FUN.

Deficit HSPU today!!! Kipping and strict!!!

I have met many famous people.

I use strength wraps and shoes. thinking about getting a belt. I used one last week and it felt incredible.

haha, ok. If you say so. I have no time in my life for people who hurt my feelings. Not even a little.

You gain weight on your period? Weird.

You were unsure. You were struggling. He helped you. He was a guy in the middle of a workout. When I'm in the middle of a workout I'm probably not the most diplomatic person either But let me give you another perspective: I work in a doctors office. I have seen the x-rays of a foot shattered into a million pieces by a 45…

Yep, I totally agree with the "lifter high". Setting your CNS on fire with heavy deads or squats gives you a high that lasts hours.

By ab exercises you mean overhead squats right?

I'm going with 175.

I have been lifting in my Pendlay Do-Win's for over a year and I love them! Except I bought a 7 and my toe hits the top, so...... Yesterday I treated myself to the new Reebok lifters in my proper size 7.5. They are not hybrids. I will report back and let you know what I think.

100% this. I'm 36 years old, 5 feet tall weighing 120# AND eating 1800-2000 cals every single day. Yes, I'm losing weight. I was at 112-115 pounds for 2 years and gained 10# in the last four months. Wanna know how? Eating 1200 cals a day. Yep. Even though I KNEW I should be eating more, I let that 1200 number get stuck in…

I'm sorta confused. You are saving yourself for marriage, (I'm not confused about that). You are upset that that he has had sex or whatever with someone else, yet you are obsessed with wanting YOUR body to be the best he has ever seen but is not allowed to touch? One thing you haven't even touched on is your own…

I agree with this 100% I might even go one step further an say that calculating macros takes you outside the tenants of paleo. Cavemen obviously did not worry about macros. I also want to reiterate that paleo is not a magic weight loss tool. This way of eating is more about reducing inflammation, healing your body…

Yeah, actually drank beers WITH the CF HQ peeps after the cert last weekend!
