    Really confused about my nutrition. Please help

    @jonnylugs I may be mistaken, but I believe the third pull is "pull under the bar", whereas the pull you believe to be weaker would be the second pull. The squat movement requires specific training to drop under the bar, whereas the power movement tends not to, and also doesn't require strength...

    Just joined a CF gym and I’m confused

    @nicolenik If your legs aren’t screaming at you after a week of CrossFit I don’t know what to say, because almost everyone I know complains about it - even if they’re pretty strong to begin with the volume and intensity gets them. A week without bar or ring gymnastics is not impossible but it’s...

    Really confused about my nutrition. Please help

    @jonnylugs I don’t think you’ll see a linear increase in strength off of 3kg weight increase—and there’s no timeframe discussed here either. Mass moves mass, but your body needs to know how to move it. Oly lifts are hard; I think you’ll see measurable gains faster by dedicating time to something...

    Games Event 4 Sprint Couplet: Were some lanes faster than others? /w Stats

    @theparadox116 Sprint events, in general, aren't really a good test of fitness. It introduces a level of technique and precision that's really beyond the scope of CrossFit IMHO. At least - they should not be used for making huge cuts like they were. In the Sprint Couplet, as this post notes...

    Survey: What CrossFit Movement is the Hardest to Master?

    @iphonetrabaohanh Difficult to learn, difficult to master, or difficult to build the strength required to perform the movement? It's not especially difficult to learn to snatch, but to be good at snatching is a whole other story - far more time is required than to build the strength to do a...

    Just bought a Concept 2 Model D rower with PM5. Recommended iOS apps?

    @dawn16 Jabra Elite Sport. Also tried the Bose - half the price, but they let noise in. Good for running, but I have to have the volume too high for erging).

    Just bought a Concept 2 Model D rower with PM5. Recommended iOS apps?

    @patona Not an app, but I’m enjoying earbuds with a HR monitor. They’re Bluetooth and connect to the erg. I push way too hard on my steady state. Ergdata and the log website are all I really want right now.

    Master Your Bar-Facing Burpees

    @chloejm Option 4 is my go-to. Run through all 3 and then stare at the bar and hope it disappears, about halfway through the WOD. BFB are my nemesis.

    A Message to CrossFit Athletes and Fans - Justin Bergh, General Manager of Sport

    @grace4nan I wonder how much of coke partnership was time driven. There’s good relationships to be made, but the companies aren’t big enough to redirect cash on the timeframe they wanted. I hope, at least.

    A Message to CrossFit Athletes and Fans - Justin Bergh, General Manager of Sport

    @grace4nan Reading between the lines a bit everyone (athletes, fans, organizers)has told us there’s major problems with how we operate competitive CrossFit. We hired someone to help with that our communication sucks; we’re going to define the following official channels [I'm not sure this is a...

    Two Months of Crossfit Update w/ Q’s

    @ppaws45 Work on T-spine mobility and hip mobility. Catalyst Athletics and Squat University are good resources for that. Overhead strength takes time to develop. Strict press and push press with help develop overhead strength but neither Jerk and Snatch require a lot of overhead strength - they...

    Recovery Tactics For Busy People Who Train Hard

    @stormie_renee Working that many hours is actively detrimental to productivity; sleep deprivation makes humans very unhealthy in every metric, and that level of stress will literally kill people. I hope it's worth it.
