    Box Owner Question

    @skizzik183 I am not sure why you are posting leading questions; however, under a good-faith assumption, here are some answers. A: Some part-time staff work 2-3 hours a week in exchange for a free membership, which works out roughly to to $30.00 CAD per-class. Anyone on this arrangement is not...

    23.2A and B 90th percentile scores

    @kyokosakura 23.2A will differ for men and women by a few reps. Based on the numbers at my affiliate: 140 will be comfortable for a male. Giving yourself time in the 30s is crucial. 126 will be comfortable for a female. I am almost certain that 1 pull-up in the round of 30 will guarantee a top...

    6.5 years of CF. I've hit a plateau. Is it reasonable to expect to continue to improve?

    @mikelore As long as sleep, nutrition, and recovery as focused on, you should continue to improve. We have multiple older athletes (50+) who have progressed their strength consistently and have acquired skills like ring muscle-ups. If you can, find a facility that does not water down their...

    Linda - women’s opinions?

    @mixpanema I am surprised CAP didn't keep it simple and use Regionals Linda - which is how we program the workout: 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps for time of: Deadlift, 295 / 220 lb. Bench press, 195 / 135 lb. Squat clean, 145 / 105 lb. Time cap: 17 minutes

    Zone 2 on Echo bike

    @lovejustice I have found that many athletes struggle to actually perform effective Z2 on an Echo Bike. Fortunately, you have access to the best Z2 tool around: running.

    How do you deal with workout shamming?

    @jesrel I am not defending the actions of this athlete. It is not their place to scold you. However, there is a chance that, based on THIS, it came from a place of concern. If you were asking reddit for recovery advice three months ago, there is a chance you were talking about your lack of...

    S&C programming and kinesiology resources outside of CrossFit methodology

    @grant4god If your goal is to coach CrossFit group classes, stick with the CrossFit Methodology for a few years. Many young coaches make the mistake of too much, too soon. Learn proper progressions for every movement, learn to write your own progressions, and focus on doing the basics...

    More reps with lower weight, or less reps with higher weight?

    @ladyblue1 There are two factors when loading in a met-con: Are you consistently demonstrating sound mechanics, regardless of loading? Make sure you move well before adding intensity, work at the threshold that suits your movement quality. Are you moving in a manner that meets the intended...

    Initial 24.3 percentages BTWB (and percentages to shoot for, for quarterfinals)

    @talkingbunny Similar to most muscle-up focused workouts, guys and girls will be very different. This morning, I watched guys who would dummy either workout struggle and barely finish. I watched a women who was top 1000 worldwide in last years QF fight for one bar muscle-up in the fourth round...

    Joint health

    @dreamsunderstood Your movement quality is not at an adequate level to sustain an increase in volume. Due your advanced training age, fixing your shortcomings will require some sacrifices. For the next three months, do the following: When performing Heavy Days - IE strength sessions - include...

    Latest move by Berkshire CutFit (franchising models survey)

    @grace4nan I took the survey after seeing the outrage online. It isn't anywhere near the boogeyman people are making it out to be. But, the truth isn't going to clickbait: The survey explored a cost increase and canvassed for feedback on a tiered pricing structure. Amusingly enough, a few of...

    Box Owners, please monitor your “contact us” mailboxes and forms

    @akoto As an Affiliate Owner, the trend towards social media is disappointing. Our social media accounts are monitored by a contractor while our primary inbox has a team with a set-rotation making sure emails are answered within 1 business day. Why: It's easier to recover a G-Suite email if...

    CrossFit burnout?

    @bonlin Go to class for two weeks, scale the workouts, and try to move perfectly. If the workout is pull-ups and you normally butterfly, perform perfect hollow body kipping pull-ups. Use a weight you KNOW you can hit all of the points of performance regardless of fatigue. And focus on having fun...
