@tay1964 I'm 6', 225lbs. I'm not built for bodyweight movements. That was a slog. I was like 1hour 26 minutes. I doubt I'll ever do Kalsu. It reminds me of a comp I did last year. We had to do 30X135 S2OH followed by 30 squat cleans. I bang out my 30 S2OH like a boss in 1 unbroken set and get...

@saraila Your list will change. Murph isn't that bad, just grindy. My personal worst WODS are: Ugly Sweater 2 rounds 90/70 Calorie Row 70 Wall Ball Shots (20/14) 50 Power Snatches (55/35) 30 Burpee Box Jumps (50/60 cm ) We did this in a full class, only 2 of us got back on the rower the...

@damj Only 3 people in my gym finished and I was one of the 3. The other 2 are very light and strong athletes whereas I am a large dude who could easily lose 20lbs and still be at the high end of a "healthy" weight for a 6' tall dude. I was over the moon that I finished as well as I did, then I...

@kara1991 Also, make sure you're hitting the right stimulus. I've been doing Crossfit for a few years now and partnering with new people often scares me for the opposite reason. New people at my gym tend to scale on the advice from coaches and what should be a 2 minute break for me is suddenly...

@richardsonmommy5 I can't do either, I'm confident I'm in zone 4. I guess I wasn't clear and updated my question. The crux would be, I getting the same benefits from an hour of zone 4 vs an hour or zone 2 or part of the magic of zone 2 that I can use it complimentary to all the other stuff I do...

@jadex It's always been my specialty so to speak. I updated my post above so you may have missed it but 165-170 is something I've been able to maintain for an hour in the past across different fitness trackers so either they are all wrong or it's just me. Maybe next time I should try talking to...

@jadex I doubt I could talk in full sentences, I'm assuming I am in fact in zone 4. If you asked my coach what my biggest strength is it would be the fact I can find an uncomfortable pace and make it comfortable. By holding back I simply mean yes I could go faster but I'd probably blow up and...

@lostsoul2016 Yeah it goes against every fibre of my being. For me pacing means just go to 80-90% instead of 100. Not 50%. I think for running zone 2 for me is a truffle shuffle and I don't think my pride will allow it. May have to invest in a bike to use while watching TV or something to get...

In an effort to trim a few lbs this year (6' 220lbs) and improve my cardio I started running longer distances. In true CrossFit fashion I went from 0k to 5k to 10k distances in a couple weeks. I really focused on picking a pace I could sustain and not allow myself to chase metrics which has...

@rgw00 It's an amazing feeling when you hit those targets. It's what I love about CrossFit. I was obese and my family has a history of heart disease. My Dr sent me for a stress test for my ticker and this was a few months after I started CrossFit and dropped the weight. The technician asked me...
