    Meet Devin Ford, 7 Time Regional Competitor

    @dawn16 Was Murski the guy that was bouncing the barbell off the ground straight into his squat clean in the olden days?

    Meet Devin Ford, 7 Time Regional Competitor

    @josephfaith I find it ironic that the words on the wall at his box say "Don't wish for it, work for it".

    Please don’t kip in your handstand push ups

    @channel7 I agree with you. They teach in the L1 that safety should be top priority. I see too many people trying to kip before having strict which is a huge no, no. I've never been a fan of kipping myself. My neck always hurts after and I really don't see the benefit in terms of overall...

    CrossFit Quarterfinals Weekend Thread

    @mark_j Yep! And I have not been doing them much the last 6 months so it would crush me. I made the AGOQ (M 35-39). I'm hoping this one isn't one of the workouts, but I'm sure it will be. If I recall, I made it in 2021 and there were less workouts and the weights/reps were a bit different...

    CrossFit Quarterfinals Weekend Thread

    @justasimplea Workout 1 would be me doing 9 front squats in about 90 seconds. Then spending +13 minutes doing 225' of HS walks. I'm exaggerating a bit but I would def spend a lot of time doing those only to get slapped in the face by 15 RMUs. I'm hoping the AGOQ will be a bit ~easier~

    What’s wrong with my diet? Doing about 6 to 8 Wods per week, losing power and motivation! (Sleep 7 to 8 hours daily)

    @lobocairn Looks very protein heavy. I'd say you're getting 50%+ protein and the other 50% are carbs and fat (just a guess could be more on the protein). Like others have said, add some more carbs. You're getting almost no carbs in the morning. I'd recommend adding some oatmeal. Also by the...

    Getting burnt out on CF and thinking of switching it up a bit (advice needed!

    @labryan I get what you're saying. And that is a nice back squat!! 531 may have been beneficial to me because I was just starting out and riding the gain train that most people get when they start from basically nothing. I've seen 531 work for other people so I still think it is a decent...

    If you can recall, what was the first workout you RX'd? How far along were you when this occurred?

    @sammypetter My list of firsts (all times from June 2015 to February 2016): Fran - 8:02 Grace - 6:31 Karen - 13:02 Isabel - 8:12 Diane - 9:45 I started Crossfit in 2015. About 3 months in the main site ran a host of girl workouts over 2 months. So I went RX'd to give me some data points...

    Getting burnt out on CF and thinking of switching it up a bit (advice needed!

    @labryan I did it for either an 8 week or 12 week block, I can't remember. I think it was only 8. It was when I first started Crossfit, so these numbers are really old. I've seen better gains from a steady weightlifting program, so I get what you're saying. There are better programs out...

    Getting burnt out on CF and thinking of switching it up a bit (advice needed!

    @virginity I ran 531 a few years ago. I was struggling with overall strength myself at that time. I found it to be a great program. Under the program, my BS went from 225 to 295. My DL went from 345 to 385. My press only went from 115# to 135#. Not very strong overhead even to this day...

    Wendler 5/3/1 complimented w/ Push Jerk Programming

    @sabri I've done five, four week cycles of Wendlers while following the main site WOD over the last 8-10 months. Squat, press, and DL numbers have all gone up. I'm transitioning out of Wendlers and the main site for a bit. I moved to Misfit's training on 1/1/17. Misfit is a lot of volume so...

    Initial 24.3 percentages BTWB (and percentages to shoot for, for quarterfinals)

    @jkhaemba Haha, right! I came to the realization when I turned 35 that I won't ever be a games athlete (39 now). So I just try to be better than I was last year. Dang that's a solid time! I'm sure she was hurting on that 2nd part from coming out so hot lol

    Initial 24.3 percentages BTWB (and percentages to shoot for, for quarterfinals)

    @jkhaemba Thanks for sharing this. I'm in the same boat as you in terms of percentile over the years. I was thinking getting through 4 rounds of the 2nd part would be a lock for 90th percentile (so 156 reps). I think 95th are gonna finish around the 12-13 min range while your 99th are gonna...
