@theparadox116 Sprint events, in general, aren't really a good test of fitness. It introduces a level of technique and precision that's really beyond the scope of CrossFit IMHO. At least - they should not be used for making huge cuts like they were. In the Sprint Couplet, as this post notes...

@iphonetrabaohanh Difficult to learn, difficult to master, or difficult to build the strength required to perform the movement? It's not especially difficult to learn to snatch, but to be good at snatching is a whole other story - far more time is required than to build the strength to do a...

@catherineone Sleep more, and try some more carbs.

@dawn16 Jabra Elite Sport. Also tried the Bose - half the price, but they let noise in. Good for running, but I have to have the volume too high for erging).

@patona Not an app, but I’m enjoying earbuds with a HR monitor. They’re Bluetooth and connect to the erg. I push way too hard on my steady state. Ergdata and the log website are all I really want right now.

@chloejm Option 4 is my go-to. Run through all 3 and then stare at the bar and hope it disappears, about halfway through the WOD. BFB are my nemesis.

@dawn16 List of people who did or do CrossFit during college includes some big ones. Pat Vellner Mat Fraser Brooke Wells Danielle Brandon

@ancientraven Thanks for this. I don’t know how much I’ll play wit this but it looks interesting. Also a fan of WOD scrape

@grace4nan I wonder how much of coke partnership was time driven. There’s good relationships to be made, but the companies aren’t big enough to redirect cash on the timeframe they wanted. I hope, at least.

@sgtben I think we can all agree that neither of those people will receive a ban from HQ.

@grace4nan Reading between the lines a bit everyone (athletes, fans, organizers)has told us there’s major problems with how we operate competitive CrossFit. We hired someone to help with that our communication sucks; we’re going to define the following official channels [I'm not sure this is a...

@bornagainbrian It’s one of those workouts I look at and say “it can’t be that hard right?”

@mournfulwatcher Skip ahead to the relevant part - start at 9:04

@ppaws45 Work on T-spine mobility and hip mobility. Catalyst Athletics and Squat University are good resources for that. Overhead strength takes time to develop. Strict press and push press with help develop overhead strength but neither Jerk and Snatch require a lot of overhead strength - they...

@travnja PM5 friendly price would be about 5-600 imo. Listing at MSRP-$150 here has them selling in about a week.

@stormie_renee Working that many hours is actively detrimental to productivity; sleep deprivation makes humans very unhealthy in every metric, and that level of stress will literally kill people. I hope it's worth it.

@james2016 I remember reading about a pool design for one of last few Olympics - maybe Beijing - where they talked about how they designed the pool so that the force generated by the swimmers was dissipated to the greatest extent, using some new techniques. It's a tough problem to solve. At...

@kakumei

@cherryjohnson Sleep. Fucking sleep more, people. I think you’ve got it covered. Meditation is overlooked too. Sleep and meditation (that can just be “spend 10 min think about your day, write down 3 good things that happened or that you’re proud of etc.”) are free and low effort compared to...

@dawn16 CrossFit linchpin and street parking are the top two programs you should check out to get started. Well rounded, well designed, and frequently brutal. Linchpin’s owner does some/the Masters programming for the Games, and StreetParking’s owner tests it (or - that is how it seems to have...
