@sharzid Can I ask what area your gym is located?

@diamonddolljeanette These two metrics aren’t even comparable. I can lift 1300+ but my fastest mile EVER was a 5:50. A 4:30 mile is more comparable to a 1600+ lift total.

@jared280 I read a study about how if runners substituted half their workouts for CrossFit workouts, their running was just as great and they had added benefits such as strength and muscle growth compared to the control running group. You’ll have to look out the study though, cuz I’m too lazy...

@jal11180 I got 15. Same boat as you on the HSW. My friend went just before me so I went too tentative on the walks, but it’s the rings that really killed me. Took me over 3 minutes and 4 sets.

@jal11180 How close did you get?

@growinginhim09 Oh awesome! I live out west, but my wife is from closer that direction. In the next couple years we might move, and we’re still trying to decide where.

@cannie I’ll add in that the reason for kipping pull-ups isn’t just for sport, but because CrossFit methodology focuses heavily on Power output, which is producing the most force in the shortest time. Kipping pull-ups are more powerful than regular pull-ups, and when the goal is whole body power...

@growinginhim09 Where is your gym? Sounds like I need to move there

@morgannorth Rings are a weakness of mine. My sets were 6-3-3-3. Got to the rings at 5:30 and finished at 9:12. That’s where the whole body fatigue set in for me.

@thunderstruck I mean, sure. But, the negative actions of others don’t negate the positive impact you get on your health as a result of competing with yourself or others.

@christhasrisen2000 I’ll be honest, I took that sentiment from the Level 1 manual. I think that given the way CrossFit works with an affiliate model, it’s up to the coaches and owners to know the answers. HQ can only require so much. But I agree that communicating the “why” behind...

@christhasrisen2000 They’re really not 2 different ideas but different spots on the same spectrum. The goal is intensity. For some, you have to push further and harder to get the same intensity. There’s also the growth aspect, where you learn new skills. Once a skill becomes easy then it’s...

@bagr4 Frosted Mini Wheats, an Apple, a banana, on the rare days I eat anything at all.

@helen12357 One of your Hamstring muscles is called the “Biceps Femoris”. I’m super fun at parties.

@yahsway I’ve officially spent too much of my day reading this post and watching those clips. Time to think about useful things like how many burpees I need to do when I get home from Disney to offset these cream cheese pretzels.

@sami18 Agreed. This is like asking if a 8:00 mile and a 2000 lift total is doable

@sdebow13 When the first was actually only the warm up

@saraila Getting out of bed for 5am class

@rushamania As a coach, I love this 😂

@ajhnh I’ve been using this one since High School and I don’t plan on stopping now.
