    If there was an equivalent of the “Dead Hang” but for your hips instead of shoulders, what would it be?

    @balabob Kang Squat, which is just a Good Morning and Squat all rolled in one.

    Hot take: ladies, is dating getting difficult after doing CrossFit?

    @royblizzard Given that you are into CF and ex mil, I would think CF gyms might be a good community to look for a partner with. My experience is that the portion of military/ex mil in my friends CF boxes isn't a significant majority but at least there are more. I know I have buddies who...

    "Another Banned Athlete Competes at Non-licensed Competition"

    @leggomymeggo probably doesn't increase aerobic capacity Winny is a DHT based steroid. Basically the step after testosterone breaks down in the body. build more muscle, recover better though a higher RBC, etc

    Please, help me. As a tall guy (6'2/189cm, 92kg) with long arms, how can I train to strict handstand push up?

    @millybrown Negatives are good besides partials. Id say strict dips should be solid but it depends also on how much you arch off wall and how wide you set your hands. Id say strict presses or DB presses are a good assistance but you still need to make being in HS easy enuff that you're not...

    Do you take Creatine, l-glutamine, and BCAA on rest days?

    @caleb_m no troll right now, I do like to be a silly ass on subs I don't mod on, but you can find me in non troll mode at /weightlifting

    Do you take Creatine, l-glutamine, and BCAA on rest days?

    @caleb_m i've never heard we store 2-3g/kg but I need to check that. this is probably based on average sized ppl or at most, athletes who aren't 110kg+ (compared to typical 70-80kg) 70% full sounds right with typical animal protein intake unless you are gonna eat like a chicken and 2 ribeyes or...

    Is there too much emphasis on strength in general and Weightlifting in particular in the Crossfit Opens workouts?

    @orochii7 TBH, I disagree. Basically it's about the cream coming to the top rather than having gen pop being able to go toe to toe with devoted trainees/athletes. CrossFit is a barbell sport. It's definitely not IronMan. Sucks if you aren't 5'10 190lbs or 5'5" 140+ in CF. It was...

    @incenzo23 that's pretty much what can happen in any sport with a relationship with USADA or WADA (and whatever affiliate in another country)

    Do you take Creatine, l-glutamine, and BCAA on rest days?

    @leorock if you are fasting, taking BCAA's technically would break that fast depending how strict you want to classify it. you can creatine or glutamine whenever the hell you want, glutamine likely helps recovery, particularly your gut or immune system (i haven't taken it in years). you can get...

    Is there too much emphasis on strength in general and Weightlifting in particular in the Crossfit Opens workouts?

    @orochii7 I think a lot of the weights in CrossFit are more about strength endurance rather than maximal strength. Take for instance 95/#135 barbell thrusters for men compared to 275# barbell exercises like Cleans/Squats/Deadlifts

    Is there too much emphasis on strength in general and Weightlifting in particular in the Crossfit Opens workouts?

    @dawn16 i kinda came to the same conclusion if it's not going to include barbells. It's not IronMan+burpees&kipping pullups.

    @e31 You are giving the general population of humanity too much credit.

    bOX cULTS

    @e31 I think that many of those sellers of Advocare/Amway/Herbalife/etc don't really see them for what they are. I think this has more to do with the personality types that are attracted to. Something I like to call, "a believer" mindset. Bare in mind, my personality type tends to be "skeptic"...

    Direct Me To A Workout Plan for Snatch Strength

    @david11 likely not beyond 3 reps but some complexes may be beyond 3 reps. the exception might be lighter snatches from hang/blocks.

    Safest pressing exercise for shoulders

    @destinyrealized you basically need to reboot and start over with costochondritis. Steven Low has talked about this so many times. i got stupid with dips once (max test strict, then frog kip and swinging dip on rings with ample rest to compare) i think i logged this on the CF forum back then...

    Doing c/f strength, not sure when to do conditioning

    @ghb That doesnt look very brutal imo. Kind of like a 2 exercise 531 split. Can you do CF on Saturday? You could try doing CF classes on TuTh maybe even Sa or just take off the weekend after 5 days of training.

    Shoulders limiting Kipping Pull-ups and T2B movement

    @bablakirchin22 1st step: 25-50 Kip/Beat Swings just hanging. When your shoulders are more mobile, they can store and release more energy from the kip besides if your technique is efficient enough. obviously there are a zillion mobility guides and videos and videos on how to do a basic CF...
