Stronglifts?
A few people at my box were telling me they do some sort of the Stronglifts program. Not sure if it was the 5x5 or what. But has anyone had any experiences with Stronglifts or tried it out? And does the program fit in with doing crossfit? Thanks so much!

Burpee/Broad Jump mile
Hello Crossfitters, Has anyone attempted the burpee/broad jump mile with their box? Our owners were talking about it at our WOD the other night and I am seriously considering joining, though probably could only get a lap in or so. If you have attempted or completed this let met know :drinker:

Plantar Fasciitis
Sorry for all of the questions... but I have developed some PF in both feet over the past two weeks and was wondering what in your opinion are definite exercises to avoid in Crossfit. I am guessing running and any jumping but would lifts like squats and deads and cleans be ok to not make it any worse? My right heel is more…

Tight hip flexors
guys. my hip flexors are painfully tight. most of the time they do not allow me to get deep enough in squats and I find they hurt more and tire out before my actual leg muscles which are propelling me in the squats etc. any mobility ideas for this region? I have been using a kettlebell handle to dig into that area a bit,…

I just started... and I am dead
Hey guys, Thanks for those of you that have pointed me to this group... it is very helpful and informative. I just started Crossfit last week... and I am barely getting through the WODs. Of course they are scaled for me because I have yet to perfect a strict pull-up, let alone a kipping pull-up. I guess my question is, if…

Why even ask for advice??
Why do I constantly see the same people asking questions and fretting over the same things and NEVER take the advice they are given from the people on here? Why even be on here and ask for advice if you aren't going to listen to everyone but just complain about your situation? We are trying to help! I don't get it. End…

Crossfit?

Cardio or Weight Training??
Hi Friends, As a fitness professional I am always asked 'should I do more cardio or weight training for weight loss and health' from clients, and I find myself togging back and forth between both answers (of course this is already under assumption clients are within macros and caloric intake). I have always recommended…

Does Tabata/HIIT training help?
Hi friends, I am struggling with switching up my workout routine and want to add some tabata (with some weights) and HIIT training. I have done these exercises on treadmills and bikes for cardio and anaerobic reasons, but can there be a way for me to incorporate this kind of training into my strength training workouts?…

EXERCISING DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN EAT UNHEALTHY!!
I have been asked this question over and over again from clients 'Can I eat what I want now that I am exercising and burning it off?' You all know this is wrong... but I want to shed light on why it is... and why I have found myself on this site because of this exact thinking. From personal experience, I love exercising. I…

Macro ratios... any suggestions?

I have been trying to figure out what would be a good macro ratio for myself with wanting to lose 40-50 pounds (5'8'', 193 pounds, I do moderate exercise 40-60 minutes 5x/week including running, spin, weight training). I was a vegetarian last year and did paleo for a bit so I am having a hard time figuring out…
