Shoes
I'm thinking about getting me some Metcons as I'm over having to swap out shoes between wodding and lifting. I currently use Reebok Lifters for lifting and Nano 4's which I love. Does anyone use Metcons and do they do the job for everything CF?

DU's .. breathing
Hey all - I manage around 25 to 30 du's a time but I find I hold my breath so I can't sustain this for a long time. We are doing Annie tomorrow and want to nail it under 8 mins for a personal best. What is your suggestion for breathing? I reckon I could smash out 50 at a time if only I got my breath under control. Cheers

Creatine for the ladies
I've been doing some research on creatine and am very interested in trying it to prolong my endurance & assist my lifting. I Olympic lift & Crossfit. I can't seem to find much info on females using it though. Is anyone here using it? What does it / has it done for you? Is it worthwhile? Thanks

Cortisone injections
So after many months of physio, modifying my WOD's and taking anti inflammatories it is becoming apparent my bursitis around my shoulder is not healing. I modify and have avoided anything overhead to no avail. Next step is a cortisone injection so I can target the inflammation and hopefully start healing. Has anyone had…

Archilles issue - from DU's
So a month or so ago I did Annie 2 days in a row and hurt my archilles to the point where I can't run and definately can't skip. I haven't torn or anything, it just really hurts when I run/skip. Normal walking and other CF excersises are fine. I've iced, seen a physio who strapped and rested but it's still playing up. Has…

On Line Judges Course
Has anyone done this? I'd like to do it as I want to be available to our members to judge for the Open. How long does it take, is it difficult and is it pretty self explanatory? Also, can you start it and then stop & continue later? Thanks

Eat to perform - my numbers
Anyone here successfully doing Eat To Perform? Am thinking about adopting it but after being semi-paleo (which by the way does not agree with me, it makes me fat) I am not sure my numbers fit. I wonder if someone could check and offer feedback? Using the ETP calculator, they are (TEDEE - 10%) as I wish to lose some body…

Programming
I'm interested to hear how other boxes do their programming or how you perceive their programming to be. Ours seems to have no consistent 'plan'. I hear of other boxes having heavy weeks and then not so heavy weeks. We sometimes have weeks of doing pull ups every day. I try & go 5 x days a week & am not sure this makes for…

Weight training & Cardio on the same day
Quick question, on the days where my programme has me doing both cardio & weights on the same day, is it better to do the cardio 1st (but therefore tiring my body) or to do the cardio last (which can sometimes lead to skipping it because I am tired). Is there a rule?

Pistol Squats
Ok - so I've blown out my shoulder and am now doing only lower body movements until I'm healed. My coach has my practicing pistol squats and am really struggling with them. I find it easier to attempt them without holding on to a wall strangely enough but just cannot get the depth - is this a flexibility issue and if so,…

CrossFit = Acne
Hi all, now that I crossfit 4 x days a week my skin, in particular my upper back & neck is becoming really spotty. I use non perfumed, medicated soap, eat pretty clean, drink lots of water and shower straight after a WOD but it's not helping. Can anyone suggest something I can use - it's really getting me down. Thanks
