    Joint health

    @dreamsunderstood I use Pliability, they offer 20-45 minute videos everyday. Easy to follow and do but like most I struggle with this as well. I have an idea of what you struggle with as I am 42 and have made it continually in the top 10% over the 10 years I have been doing CrossFit. Every...

    Am I too heavy?

    @kutloello I started CrossFit at 6'3" 205lbs ~22%bf, 10 years later I am 240lbs ~15-18% bf. I can RX any workout and have competed in the masters division in multiple competitions. It's not about how much muscle you have but how you can move using that muscle.

    Joint health

    @dreamsunderstood How much stretching did you do over the years outside of rehabbing an injury? Aside from sleep, nutrition, and strength training. Healthy joints are kept by maintaining good mobility as much as possible. Without regular stretching, muscles will begin to pull tendons harder...

    Intensity/ Power to be calculated across a SET v/s the ENTIRE WOD

    @mbahchidinma Glassman made the point CrossFit isn't about becoming better at any one sport but becoming healthier. If Glassman made up a lot of that information, then other sources have adopted them. Nothing Glassman has said wasn't already prior knowledge. Except for his definition of...

    Coaches.. there are other movements than burpees.. #justsaying

    @thanhlam If you were at my gym and absolutely hated burpees, I wouldn't make you do them; I would give you a different movement, like up-downs, push-ups, mountain climbers, plank holds, or anything else that fits the stimulus of the workout, and burpee. Either way, burpees suck until you learn...

    CrossFit burnout?

    @bonlin How have you been with stress levels, outside the gym? Any kind of stress is just cortisol to the body including high intensity exercise. Keep the cortisol flowing and the body will tell you to slow down by making you feel sluggish. Take a minimum of a week off of high intensity...

    Millennial here

    @childofgodforever You should look at this first. Your body constantly needs the right nutrients to sustain good energy levels. Start there, keep focusing on your training but put some more work into correcting your nutrition.
