@devonboy They require the owner of the gym to have have an L1, but you can have very good coaches without an L1. I’m not sure how true it is, but it’s said that Mat Fraiser doesn’t have his L1

@leodonaldson Each CrossFit box is independently owned, so it’s up to the owner as to what the require to coach. The biggest thing you will get out of the L1 with your background is a deeper understanding of the methodology behind CrossFit. It’s much better in person than online as the staff...

@zekori At 26 you can certainly handle the extra loads not so much at 46. Seeping on the style of programming y’all use I would add more weight than is written and always ask the coach if you do add weight is it still hitting the desired stimulus. Does no good to have a 6 minute Diane time...

@zekori What is your age? What program do y’all follow? What are your goals? Do the coaches allow you to scale to your ability and goals? If you are still in your 20s, now is the time to keep building that lean muscle while your testosterone is still pumping away. But in order to maximize...

@bagr4 4-5 blended raw eggs with 1 serving of maple syrup mixed in. Drinks down fast and is tasty

@p77cf All of the idea come down to commitment. You have already joined and love it, now just stick to it. You could also find a self imposed punishment. Something like every time you don’t show up you owe the coach that class 20$, it will add up quick if you don’t go and your coach will love...

@awalker0213 I would try taking 2-3 grams 30 minutes or so prior to workout, then later taking 2-3 grams. You don’t have to take all 5 grams at once to get the benefits, just saturate your cells like you do Creatine. More isn’t always better, so spread it out

@bldssphq My suggestion is if you have a series of afternoon classes you could make your first and last classes 90 minutes. Our gym open at 3:30, but it could start at 3, then run a 4:30,5:30 hour long class for the working people who need to make it home after an hour of work, then a 6:30 90...

@kara1991 Many people have found success following Aerobic capacity with Chris Hinshaw. Or Capacity WOD. Most good athletes don’t actually get annoyed with novice athletes who are putting in the effort. I’m a seasoned CF athlete now and the only time I get annoyed with new partners is when...

@semaj02 Power monkey is one of the best for this. A new guest every week from the best in their field. Just had their 200 episode and I have listened to every one

@godsdaughter One hell of a list, and you nailed it

@bablakirchin22 From your brief description and without seeing it here is my two cents. Your former background has produced strong but stiff Lats and triceps limiting your ability to reach extension in yhe “Superman” position of the kip. Try muscle smashing on a foam roller (dr. Kelly Starret)...

@derek1933 Also CrossFit.com is a fantastic resource for getting started

@derek1933 Keep asking questions, most CrossFiters are happy to help each h other out, because we all remember what it was like to start such a different way of getting fit

@derek1933 Always glad to help a beginner. For starters, this is not at all a CrossFit workout, this is an accessory workout. Don’t get me wrong these are all great moves, but they isolate body part instead of use the body as a unit. CrossFit is Consatantly varied Functional movements done at...
