@sevilodorf You’re telling someone who has a diagnosed disorder that makes numbers problematic not pay attention to the numbers. I’m not being obtuse, I’m recognizing that they may in fact not be able to easily round like that.

@sevilodorf A 15kg bar is 33lbs.

@leodonaldson You’ve got it. I came into the space a long time ago, when it was generally more performance minded, but the knowledge doesn’t carry across. USAW does somewhat, but only on singles not on cycling. The CSCS is pretty opposite of CF’s methodology though. And when I came in with my ex...

@leodonaldson As someone with those same certs, it doesn’t matter in the CrossFit space. CrossFit is group exercise. So having those certs is as valuable as it would be to have them and trying to lead Zumba.

@gutti Dr. Katie Heinrich and Dr. Yuri Feito have made careers in research showing that this isn’t the case.

@pam76 You’re half correct

@tracyx4 Bro…it’s just CVHIFM with meat and veggies, nuts and seeds, gear, some fruit, little starch. The key is no sugar.

@mixpanema From the same article that @lawforchrist referenced… You’re supporting what my point was. Men are typically more familiar with training upper body regardless of training status. This is seen in many other domains. You can simply look at various LEO and military physical standards...

@mixpanema It has nothing to do with starting from behind. Trained women, those who have been training for several years, demonstrate the same ability.

@manchildofgod It wasn’t an inclusivity thing, it was assuming men are the only assholes thing.

@ytrevino1977 Semantics matter here. Everyone is looking for Zone 2 without knowing at all what it is and they just end up burning themselves down even more.

@lawforchrist Hang out during open gym and do a straw poll of how many women are strength training. Walk into any big box gym and do a straw poll of how many women are doing cardio vs. resistance training. I literally just blamed society for manifesting this issue by routinely holding women to...

@manchildofgod He? A bit presumptuous there…

@lawforchrist Doesn’t seem like it. It supports what I mentioned: CrossFitters are routinely less strength developed and women tend to be more so because a lack of resistance training that occurs. Women can handle both greater volume at relatively high loads and tend to recover quicker.

@ytrevino1977 Almost no one can truly run at zone 2. It’s got to be a light jog for most.

@lawforchrist Hi, PhD in exercise physiology here…try again.

@katiejean I can’t tell if you’re genuine or a troll with this.

@mixpanema I think where a lot of people trip up on this work out is it’s going to be so far away from an unbroken workout. I have a pretty solid background in strength training, but the first few rounds of all the lifts are done as clusters. Even though I can get 10 reps as a single set on...

@katiejean Your body has the capacity to store 2-3g of creatine per kg, but our stores are usually 70% full if one eats enough animal protein in the day. I’d be interested in seeing where your info is coming from.

@leorock 5g of creatine daily. 6g of beta alanine split across two dosages on my workout days. No BCAAs. I only suggest that to my combat athletes and weightlifters when they’re in heavy caloric deficits.
