@asphaltpotato 2:14 - 120lbs female 4’11” 35yo. Crossfit since mid-2011.

@reggiekatt I have 3 pair of leggings made of luon and they have been just perfect in weightlifting to be honest. BUT they were from 2011 when the luon fabric was a litle different - I think the "full on luon" comes the closest. When I was smaller (and they were looser) they weren't as...

@royblizzard Happily married to someone I met at a CrossFit gym, but honestly if guys can’t handle the muscles then they probably aren’t going to be the guy to support your goals.

@silkybunny I purchased my very first pair of lululemon leggings (plain black low-rise Wunder Unders in a 4) when I weighed about 113 lbs and did a ton of running. I still have this pair today and wear them despite weighting about 137 now, thicker legs and thicker everything. I also own a purple...

@baohomotorprovn250932 Continuing my 10k burpees a year challenge, 30 burpees a day minimum on average, about 1/3 there already and I started January 1st. Also posting live mobility videos everyday on my insta, and our CrossFit gym is creating and posting bodyweight video workouts to YouTube...

@flowful I have had 2 of them in the past 3.5 years and went back to CrossFit and weightlifting both times (after the 6 week recovery period). I started with walking for the first couple of weeks just to work on getting moving (stroller walks with the baby in daylight first thing in the AM...

If picking a higher weight results in breaking up sets into smaller chunks or singles (when it should be done faster in larger sets to tap into harder/heavier breathing) then you should go lighter. On rare occasion is the intent to be...

@churchboy234 Someone mentioned Wod & Done which is essentially kinesiotape “KT Tape” which is what I used to use back in the day when comps were handing it out like crazy like prizes. Much cheaper to buy a roll and cut finger holes with scissors than the pre-cut finger versions. Also worked for...

@expressforsuccess This is a really great write up and the type of quality posts we love here in this subreddit, thank you! We should be taking a few minutes when talking about the workout at the whiteboard to briefly talk about the intention and stimulus of the workout for sure. At our gym we...

@coolbair Xero 360s are their latest “CrossFit” shoe. Their Forza trainers also are good as a lightweight lifting + run short distance shoe, but I prefer the 360s, which seem to be more durable than the Prios where the pleather peeled off the toes. Just did back squats, almost 2 miles of...

@arealwomanalwyz Big change from old to new! The more you squat the more your muscles will learn to get more rigid and stable overtime. You should also actively be squeezing your traps back, even those muscles behind your lats and armpit to stay firm through your elbows and upper body. I know...
