    What does r/fitness not understand about CrossFit?

    @richard11 CrossFit is a cult. Fitness is a byproduct of the cult lifestyle. CF’ers don’t understand why everyone else won’t join the Cult.

    Why can I all of a sudden do a strict pull-up?

    @backes007 Oh-I had a max strict set of 26 pull ups-couldn’t figure out a muscle up (bar or ring). Another athlete explained it to me-I ran and jumped to the bar, and voila. Muscle up. Hopped on the rings-coach that was in class said “X” and kapow. RMU. Still can’t touch my toes. It’ll happen...

    Why can I all of a sudden do a strict pull-up?

    @jbhoneyangel Technique. Just wait until you rep out 15 pull ups but can’t get a bar muscle up and then one day POOF. You’re way higher than you ever were. It’s technique. Congrats.

    Improving my rowing

    @srutz That’s a cop out. Read up on what the dampener does and how it affects an individual. OP-you need to find a program (Dark Horse is great-also check out r/rowing). You need to find your drag factor, and it differs from machine to machine. Depending on the wod and what other movements you...

    @arinluvsjesus85 Great to be excited. In my experience, it was pay your own way for housing and transportation to the venue in Madison and the Ranch.

    Advice re increasing frequency

    @lukishaj 3 x’s a week for a month (80% effort for 2, less on the third workout-don’t go all-out on all 3). Then increase the effort on that 3rd wod (still allowing for 4 days of recovery-but still get out and deliberately move!), then up it to 4 days-and have 3 wods at an increased effort, and...

    What’s the most ‘pure’ or ‘OG’ CrossFit program you know of?

    @stairesdustin86 It’s up to you if you want to start a clock. Even if one’s running, you don’t have to look at it when you’re done ;)

    What’s the most ‘pure’ or ‘OG’ CrossFit program you know of?

    @tammy1ed2 I’m not sure if you’re trying to be snarky-but removing the time domain helps remove ego-and there are A LOT of people in the CF arena that need help with that. And it’s for time, or not. Still your choice.

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

    @ilovejesus33 Agree with this-but also-most box owners are poor business owners. I honestly skip the boxes that don’t respond. They’re not interested in my $ and I’m not interested in being ignored while in that class.

    Castro: "Main site programming, games site visit, 5k run at the games, heavy day and 'metcon'."

    @katiejean Grab his book-and follow tdc hunts. He’s a pretty pretty normal guy with a normal life.

    Physically can’t do a burpee

    @strange1 The importance of scaling-to down until you meet the stimulus, increase difficulty forward. Keep working on it OP-but also-don’t beat yourself up. For you, it’s a burpee, for some a box step up, sit up, pull up or 300lb snatch. Different levels and goals.
