Hand stand pushups
How come hand stand push ups are easier facing the wall rather than facing out? Meant to ask last night.

Private message from someone about CF
Crossfit is a dangerous sport. I have seen far too many people get injured doing it to want to get involved with it myself, or encourage others to join. It is over priced, and the workouts are too extreme for most people. It's far better to have a moderate exercise program and not get injured than to exercise at extreme…

Changed boxes this weekend.
Kinda weird. I'm use to everyone coming up introducing themselves and welcoming me to their place. Like the old box to promote a great atmosphere for crossfit. I got stares last night. We were supposed to do power snatches and I just went through like I didn't know how and worked on form with a pvc pipe. You know not…

Support and a hell of a lot of fun
The support in our MFP power lifting group is great. It would be nice to meet up with some of you and hit a workout together. Theres a couple on here competing that would be great to go watch and support. Keep it up, expect great numbers from you.

Do you ever wonder
...for older people like myself doing crossfit, how much can you take? I mean it may be because I'm getting older or I'm just a big guy at 240-250 lbs. But the cardio aspect of crossfit kills me. I feel like my heart and lungs are going to explode,lol. Maybe if I dropped weight to 220-225 lbs. Or does crossfit do this to…

Competitive instructor or sore loser
Okay back ground on me. I power lifted for 12 years, was super strong. Quit for 12 years and started back a year ago. Also started crossfit 2 months ago. I'm 6'3" 240 lbs. and 46 years old. The fitness gym that I work out at has its little clique groups of wanna be strong men and power guys. I always keep to myself and do…

Titan Ram
Titan Ram(single ply) and Titan Super Ram are training equipment for what? Does it keep you in the groove on your bench for proper mechanics of the lift or does it help you get stronger by using it in your workouts? Its not a competition apparel is it?

Ow,ow,ow damn front squats
2nd time doing them. We did 10 sets of doubles increasing the weight 5-15 lb. jumps til you reached your max for doubles. I started at 245 lbs. Whats the secret to getting better with this? Reached 300 lbs and my core was shot on the second rep but I still got it. I thought I would be able to do more than that. So anything…

RX
What lift or exercise keeps you from doing RX? OHS - because of range of shoulders.

Mixing workouts
I do crossfit 3 times a week and powerlift or weight train 3 times a week. Does anyone else do this or something similar? If so, does one interfere with the other as for being sore? Usually sore from the weight training not the crossfit. Sometimes, not knowing what WOD I will do that day, I would do a WOD that emphasized…
