She's not doing a legal CF pull up. Chin has to be above the bar. I don't like the swing aspect of the pull ups. I usually do strict unless it's death by pull up day.

Now I have to agree with you. Only 2 workouts in the study. It is just BS to counter the negative CF BS. Huffington post, put out a negative report 2 weeks ago. This is the same BS to counter the bad.

:laugh: This is a great quote. May I use this or is it copyrighted?

You are right. My apologies.

It's just a study reproving that HIT is effective and CF is HIT. There's many studies on HIT.

The original study was done by the American Council on Exercise https://www.acefitness.org/prosourcearticle/3542/crossfit-sup-tm-sup-new-research-puts-popular/

Huffington is re posting someone else's article (American Council on Exercise). Agree that their some of their original reporting is suspect. See the negative articles published on crossfit by one of their so called medical hacks( see Crossfits dirty Secret also posted on the HP).

Just a disclaimer, this guy is just warning you that you are going to some hard work and you may die if you don't regulate your workout. Just like anything else. Don't let it scare you.

I thought it was funny and I do CF. This made me think about the preCF days. My wife's friends were always talking about it. I thought they were crack pots.

They re-reported the original article so they are not the source. You don't believe high intensity training works?

That was the title of the article in the Huffington post.

CrossFit Put To The Test, Comes Out On Top: Study http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1123628-crossfit-put-to-the-test-comes-out-on-top-study

Nice read the whole thing. I think there's more to add though. Thinking.....thinking.... thinking.... Go Pens!

I was thinking the same. I ignore it and just go with the calorie intake. There's no way to keep in your sugar goal if you eat fruit and chocolate (yeah!). I have blown through the sugar count almost every day. No problems losing weight.

Apples do it for me. They are sweet and have fiber which counters the issue that your brain has with sugar. It works for me. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM The above link "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" shows some fruits although have fructose they also have fiber which help controls the insulin production in your…

I lose weight quicker when I eat apples. Just what I notice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM The above link "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" shows some fruits although have fructose they also have fiber which help controls the insulin production in your body. In short:A cookie does not have this fiber and does not help…

I like Chic Filet. Chicken nuggets 270 cal. I usually have have the sandwiches (500-600 cals). But when I saw nuggets, those are it for now on.

I reread your original post and the article from "Scientific American". There is no author attached to the article. Why, where's their balls. So basically the problem and my point is that it may not be the GMO but what they spray on the GMO crop. If this Glyphosate is an issue then it's giving GMO a bad name. Were the GMO…

Here is a European paper on GMO. http://people.csail.mit.edu/seneff/glyphosate/glyphosate_report_by_RosemaryMason.pdf Here is a link for you to a MIT Brief on GMO. http://people.csail.mit.edu/seneff/WAPF_Slides_2012/offsite_Seneff.pptx Some highlights: Glyphosate is now the #1 herbicide in the U.S. and is increasingly used…

Anyone see the Dr. OZ show on artificial sweeteners http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/americas-dangerous-artificial-sweetener-addiction-pt-1

Do crossfit, most people talk to you before or after the workout. Sometimes during the workout if we are not dying we ask what rep were on or when the hell is this going to be over...:sad:

That's pretty funny.

I saw a few posts on where's the evidence, here is a list of a few studies on aspartame, there are about 68 total in the list. (see end for link). I avoid it and I avoid Nutrasweet. I had a major reaction (symptoms headache and nausea) to Nutrasweet twice in the 80s (it was new product promoting Nutrasweet called Sun…

Wow that Panda really wanted his jacket, he should have just gave it to him.

Whoops, I just Premasticated...

Nicely said, we start a crossfit myth thread, there is so much BS or uninformed comments it deserves a crossfit myth thread - I like the one that it's bad for your joints, where in reality it's strengthen your joints, if you are trying to recover from a joint exercise it will speed recovery. Full motion at weights you can…

Can be done. I just wanted to lose 5 lbs in 5 weeks. I hit 4.2 lbs in 9 days. Calorie goal is per day is 1590 Workouts are running 250 to 400 cals 5 times per week (4 crossfit and 1 ice hockey game) Easily beating goals by 100 cals sometimes more and not killing myself (if you can consider crossfit not killing yourself,…

Started crossfit 3 months ago. ( approaching 10 lbs lost with the diet) Love it. Do it for a month and see how it goes. They should modify the workout for you. Example modifications: Full workout -> half workout/half reps Running ->Row 20 inch Box Jumps -> 12 inch or lower box jumps or step ups instead of jump Double…

Ok, it may not be for you but until you try it you will never know... I was the same way(worked out on my own cardio weights,paid 2K for a life time membership at 24 hour fitness (rarely used it due to schedule, kids, etc...) and worked out in my living room. until I tried it. Now I will never go back even if I have to…
