Rainbos - Thanks for the suggestion. I frequently do wall-squats as part of my warm-ups so I am moving up and down in the plane correctly. The problem is definitely in my shoulders as I can front and back squat much greater weight. Just having the bar overhead, my shoulders cannot hold the bar steady for the whole movement…

I just had to do 5 sets of 20 of these plus 20 KB swings and I realized that I do them ALL wrong. The key is to NOT do a pushup at all. The down should be a fall, as described above with a minor catch in your arms so you don't slam into the floor and the up should be more like a snake push-up (the Cobra was a very good…

I have definitely found that on nights when I eat poorly, I definitely feel worse at the box the next day, so I would definitely look at that. I know that I have been cutting a lot of carbs out of my diet and that has helped with weight loss, and body shape without reducing my protein intake to help me feel full and…

thanks for all the helpful posts. I actually pulled it off for the first time last week and have been practicing whenever I can. My hands are ripped raw, but at least I can string 6-10 together pretty well. I looked at a couple of videos on the crossfit community page that helped. The best advice I have is the following…

All I can do is the dead hang pull-ups, but it takes lot of recovery time and breaking the total count into much smaller sets. Thanks for the videos and the tips, I will take a look at them and try them out.

I use an HRM and I create a cross-fit WOD exercise. Once I started using that it matched my HRM and my times pretty much everytime, so if the WOD is long the calculated cals are close to my HRM. After a month of xfit, I have noticed that my calorie burn is coming down, as I am getting into better shape. The problem with…

So, I came up with this one after two days last week. The pictures are the real workouts and I didn't take the time to pretty it all up with the quote. (Note: the warm up is on board 1 and WOD is on the other). Quote: CrossFit. What you call a workout we call a warm up! Well it turns out I can't reorientate the picture to…

I run on my non Xfit days (between 3 and 5 miles). I've never tried running on the same day as an Xfit workout, but now that I am in better shape with Xfit (after only three weeks after on-boarding) I am definitely not as sore as I was and think my body could handle it. I would say that if you body feels good enough to…

Try stretching and strengthening your calves, and that should relieve the pain and strengthen your leg so they don't come back. Also check your sneakers. When I used to play frisbee (yes I played it competitively), I knew it was time for new cleats when I would start to get shin splints.. Strengthening: Stand on the edge…

Yesterday's WOD 20 Minutes AMRAP 10 DL 7 T2B 5 HSPU Talk about ripped hands, I'm only 1 week in, and can't wait to go again tomorrow.

Add me too. I just started CF, but I love it and can't wait to go back again.

Clearly I am much more out of shape than my 25 lbs overweight made me believe. By contrast, I ran 5 miles this morning in 38 minutes and burned 706.

I just started cross-fit, but have been using HR monitors for a long time (former runner and swimmer). Typically around 700 Calories, but I know I am not representing the strength portion accurately. Today we did a Helen and it was 706.
