@jbhoneyangel You got stronger. I know it sounds simplistic but there has to be a point somewhere when you go from can’t to can. Sounds like you hit it! Congratulations 🙌

@chrissy34 lol… it could be the opening line but nothing wrong with having an opinion Most coaches (myself included) try to keep people away from bands because once an athlete gets on a band, they basically never come off. Bands are not a great scale typically because they give inconsistent...

@karebrown You’re doing great! Negatives are a big piece of the puzzle but it sounds like you still need to get stronger. The problem with pull-ups is that until you can do them, you can’t use them to increase pulling strength. Start adding in some heavy barbell rows. You can target the lats...

@sherri198128 If you want to “tighten up” you need a slight caloric deficit. You’re currently eating about 2580 calories per day based on those macros. I would start with about a 250 calorie cut. 150g protein, 225g carbs, 92g fat. This is obviously just based on what you said you were...

@katiemassachusetts It’s not 3500 cals a week, more like 700

@cnghello About time the actual open started

@nich4him Most of our scaled athletes got around 8 rounds and most of them have been crossfitting for quite a while. So I’d say that almost 7 rounds just 2 weeks in is pretty awesome 🙌

@jonathan_gale Same situation here. BMU for me are inconsistent at best. What’s funny is that all the drills and cues I’ve found seem to help everyone BUT me lol I’m currently focusing on improving my strength while focusing on the basic mechanics of the kip. Can i ask a question that is...

@presmom22 If we’re just talking about “box elites”. The people who do well in quarterfinals but don’t make semifinals. And not elites like games athletes. Then it’s genetics, work ethic, and athletic history. You can have someone in the gym who’s only done CrossFit for a few years, does extra...

@halleluyah577 For time: 50 pull-ups 400-meter run 95-lb. thruster, 21 reps 800-meter run 95-lb. thruster, 21 reps 400-meter run 50 pull-ups This is what was programmed for Tuesday 10 years ago. And this is with the 4th week of the open coming up on Friday. No tapering, no light week. Pure gas.

@psychoanalysis Yeah I was going to say the same thing. Sometimes I like to go back and see what the WOD was 10 or so years ago and do that. A lot of them are absolute killers

@thex Strength takes time and progressive overload. You said you’re spending 2 hours on “strength” but you didn’t say what you’re doing during that time. Yes rest and eating enough are VERY important. But we can’t really give you any advice unless we know what your strength training program...

@lovelylady35 Does your gym have a “Committed Club” where you try to get x number of classes in a month? Maybe that would be a good goal to start

@vivekanandshastri Weight is dictated by calories, not hours in the gym or doing cardio. Get a nutrition coach to help you reach your bodyweight goals. At 6’3” 225 is not that big. It just depends on what you’re training for. Aesthetics? Strength? Competitive CrossFit?

@2die I thought about this too in week 1, but last week they programmed both rowing and deadlifts before 24.2
