    I’m mentally weak

    @eternaldragon This means you have nowhere to go but up. Don't worry about what other people think, just try to make incremental improvements. A small improvement may not be something anyone else notices, but it's something for you to feel good about. Work on doing what you can to finish the...

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

    @backes007 Are you me?

    What does r/fitness not understand about CrossFit?

    @cannie And on the internet everyone lifts 1/2/3/4 for reps and can easily do strict muscle ups.

    Ugh. Didn’t complete the scaled version and feel like a failure

    @ilovejesus56129 Why? You’re just competing with yourself, aren’t you? Sounds like you gave it everything you had; why not be proud of that?

    Bad in bench press

    @jakesmith99 If your gym doesn't do any strength training in your programming, then I assume you have time to go set up a bar and do some bench (and some squats and DLs, etc) after or before class right?

    What does r/fitness not understand about CrossFit?

    @thunderstruck Those people that ran the fun run also weren’t on their second consecutive day of doing multiple extremely intense competitions.

    what’s everyone’s go-to (lame) joke at the gym?

    How do you know when not to do a second crossfit workout in the same day?

    @truthnotfiction I dunno, if you can do a second WOD in the same day, I bet you didn't try hard enough in the first one.

    what’s everyone’s go-to (lame) joke at the gym?

    @tim_goodnews A coach version of that joke: when someone in the class runs to the bathroom right before the WOD, when they've been in there for about 15 seconds, yell out 'THREE... TWO... ONE'. Watch them come frantically out of the bathroom still pulling up their shorts. Then everyone laughs...

    How do you deal with workout shamming?

    @jesrel Awesome. It's good to get these things out, I think. I'm guilty of bottling things up until I explode and that's no good for anyone.

    How do you deal with workout shamming?

    @jesrel What you call "shamming" and "scolding" and "being targeted" may just be a matter of your perspective. Perhaps this elite athlete is someone with valuable experience and you just don't take advice well from people in the "peer" dynamic. Perhaps you tend to get defensive when people who...

    The Troubles With Doubles

    @kenhensley You can't argue with your own results, I hear you. FWIW I know people in my gym that are still struggling and stuck in ssdssd hell, as the guy I was responding to is. To me it seems like an unnecessary complication, engraining an incorrect rhythm - just setting a habit you'll have...

    @swaninthewilderness Why couldn't he just tuck his shirt into his sports bra then?

    The Troubles With Doubles

    @farmerdan Yeah that advice is so bad. Those rhythms of ssdssd, sdsdsd, etc. I can't believe people still encourage this!

    The Troubles With Doubles

    @sup3rb0wlz Work on breathing while you do your doubles. You may not realize you're either holding your breath or not breathing as much as you need to. When I started consciously trying to breathe while doing doubles, suddenly I COULDNT do doubles anymore! But I was having the same problem as...

    Worst WODs for a newbie

    @jessicacat580 I don’t know why but it always seems like I see new people starting on snatch day. New people who have no idea how to snatch.
