@jakesmith99 Hand positioning helps. Grab a pair of dbs and use them to position the eyes of the elbows more forward than in. Mess around with angles til you find the sweet spot. Carry that over to bench such that you imagine bending the bar. Another thing that helped me was doubling up a hand...

@bowleddie 43 and my nutrition is probably less shit than most. Lots of room for improvement. Gotta own that I suppose. I strive to hit my protein goals daily, but don’t count calories and eat mostly what I want to fill in the rest of the macros. 50- 60% focus on Whole Foods.

@bowleddie I know dark places, the pain cave, etc. I’m a desert storm army vet. I can embrace the suck. But I’m redlining workouts. For example, 12 days of Christmas my average heart rate was 175 for almost 40 minutes. On shorter time domains (3-12 minutes) I regularly push 182. My Max heart...

@hallelujesus2023 Never heard of this technique. I will try it tomorrow. 50-40-…-10 wallballs/abmat sit-up. I normally inhale nostrils in eccentric and then hold the bottom and exhale through concentric. You’re saying constantly in and out. Rate control?

@hohidey Yes if I pace correctly I can go forever. But it’s like my pace always needs to be slower than everyone else

@edward99 50 cals/20 reps/ 42 cals

@edward99 Doing it an hour. I’ll let you know

@edward99 43 Improving. Realized I was a heel striker and have been improving technique but I’m still kinda trash Gymnastics is improving with bigger sets of some kipping movements. First bmu is very close… Technique overall is perhaps intermediate. I used to look at all wods as though...

@godservant777 I have begun to do the same thing. It helps but I’m tracking my heart rate as well and I’m often running mid 170’s.

@caleb_m I don’t know the Craig richey special reference but I’m not on gear if that’s what you mean. Just hard work

@nhla2 Got a chest strap hrm and just started a zone 2 program. I found out the slowest jog (12 min/mile) I can do puts me in zone 3. Hopefully I can change that

@worshipsinger Yes sir! I slay at rowing and walk balls.

@patim22 My goals are to be fit and healthy. That said competing would be a lot of fun. I’m at least a year out from being competition ready. But it’s good to know that dropping weight is possible without sacrificing performance.

@anotherklutz Thanks for the encouragement. My goal is to be healthy and fit for a few more decades. You’re probably right; I should stop concerning myself with the leaderboard and just keep improving overall while working on mastering a couple movements at a time.

@needhelp101 Thanks!

Male, 6’3”, 220. I’ve been at CrossFit for just under a year. Before that I did a year of metcon specific training with some hypertrophy and strength training thrown in. I’ve gained 25 pounds since starting CrossFit. InBody scans consistently have me at 16% bf. So plenty of my weight gain is...
