Hopefully not a hang snatch... but you should see my jerk.

FYI they are called gauges.

mirrors in gyms tuner cars e-cigarettes girls who dress like strippers in the gym (glitter, jewelry, etc) anything on ANY pop station tumblr Soooo much crap in the world... give me some Metallica and a heavy barbell.

DO IT!

CrossFit women are the sexiest. How can anyone forget Andrea "Agerbomb" Ager?

No one ever Rx'd a WOD the first few months so just take your time, learn the movements, work on your form. The heavy weights come later. If you don't get the techniques down pat you can really hurt yourself. Your coach should be stressing form over load/volume all the time. If not then find another box. You will love it.

Running. I hate it. Did so much of it in the Army if I never run again I'd die happy. Other than that, pretty much any body weight stuff. I'm getting stronger but holding my own weight is a pain. Someday though.

We have strength training M-W-F prior to the WOD without fail. M=squats, W=presses, F=deads. We are currently using the Wendler system on an 8 week cycle for 1RM testing. You should ask your box about incorporating Strength training on a regular basis.

• Wrist wraps • Knee braces • Tape (for fingers and pull-ups) • Batting gloves (for ANY WOD that has "barbell" and "21-15-9" in it) • Reebok Lifters • Weight belt (for deads at bodyweight+) If you do not have Oly shoes and lift a lot then you should consider getting a pair. REALLY keep you planted. Yes they can be a bit…

It's like a family, we all help each other out. Especially the big boys who pull 400+ on Deads LOL. they need help re-stacking all those plates.

Anyone new can add me... I'm 83 days into CF! Never looking back!

myWOD +1 but if you do;t mind paying, WODbox is pretty good too.

My affiliate is CrossFit Country (www.crossfitcountry.com). It's 20,000 sq ft inside and 6000 sq ft outside. Not really a 'box' but we still call it that or 'gym' interchangeably. Nothing like watching a lady work on her snatch while I jerk. ^^^ gotta love Oly terms. ^^^

The scale is just a measurement of the pull of the Earth on your body. It lies daily. Ignore it. Use the mirror, clothes and a tape measure as your tools. Strong and fit is sexy, not runway model skinny.
-
It would give me more time to WOD at the box!
-
You will never argue an anti-crossfitter out of their position. They have to try it for themselves. CF isn't for everyone, but usually people who don't want to push themselves to their limits and just beyond -or- folks who are happy curling in the squat rack and 'mirin themselves in the mirrored wall are the ones who never…
-
Then you don't get it. The clock is simply a tool for measuring your progress as you strengthen and your fitness improves. That's it. It's only a measuring stick. That's also why there are benchmark WODs that usually cycle through every 90 days or so. You do "Christine" in 20:34 the first time, then 90 days later you do…
-
Umm have you actually done CrossFit for any length of time or are you simply regurgitating the spew from the Bodybuilding Boards? A quality box will have quality coaches who stress form over everything, even the clock. If your box forces Rx weights on you and tries to make you go unbroken on sets then you need to find…

For a beginner PF is the place to start. It's cheap, has the right equipment, trainers available, and the intimidation factor is low. The reviews you read are frequently from hardcore lifters and bodybuilders. You have to look at who is actually reviewing. Most just hate to hate. I myself did PF for about 8 months. I loved…

Yes this is a Box here in my home town. We are VERY saddened by this tragedy. Mosaic is a relatively new affiliate, but the victim was loved by his athletes and a lot were present during the shooting. It's looking as if he was targeted for some reason. Violence like this is a most abhorrent thing.

Erotic Friendly Rock WTF?! I prefer my real AKA... Captain Tripod

i don't care what the article says... I... AM... FRONING!

Oly Lifting is best learned with a certified Oly Trainer. You can seriously injury yourself if you do not learn proper technique from the beginning. It's very hard to unlearn bad habits once they are set in place. Oly Lifting is deceiving... it's not about muscling up tons of weight. It's about moving the weight as…

If you are eating desserts to meet your macros... you have other issues than Paleo. :wink: They are treats. Simple as that. I'm no caveman by any means (mainly because of Diabetes), but I have to live in a modern age so I do what I can. If I could live on a farm and raise my own organic veggies, nuts and grass-fed cattle I…

CrossFit takes one thing... commitment. You have to go and you have to give it your all every WOD. Can you do the exercises in your garage instead of joining a Box? Sure. That's the beauty of it, although you will be missing out on the coaching aspect. Having someone watching your form is a big plus. Also all the gear is…
-
You are missing the point. Paleo removes processed sugar, dairy and grains from the diet. Dairy and grains are the leading sources of food allergies and systemic illnesses. The reason people make the Paleo desserts is to have something to replace to processed stuff most of society eats. It's not to pretend you aren't on…

Jessica Biel does CrossFit. You better get busy...

Bring your concerns to the gym manager or lead trainer, especially if he's a minor. Other than that, I'd just focus on your own technique. As a side note, if you are at a gym where the trainers are mirin' and on their phones instead of watching the floor and helping people you may want to look for another gym.
-
Yes you should have at LEAST one full rest day. Your body needs time to recover. if you get regular good sleep rest (8 hours) then one day/week is fine. If your sleep patterns are off or you sleep 6 hours or less per night then you really should have two days off. Your body builds and repairs while you are resting, not…

1) It's none of your business so stay out of it as far as giving advice. Be an ear to listen, but avoid offering 'solutions'. Unless it starts to adversely affect your business, this is her mess to deal with. 2) Men get married hoping she will never change, women get married hoping he will. This is a recipe for disaster.…
