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

    Hi, 36F here. I’ve been doing Crossfit for 6 months and personal training + gym for years before that. Could someone explain why all of a sudden last Monday I managed to pull myself up to the bar without a band? What changed between that time and my last pull-ups two days before where I needed...

    I’m mentally weak

    I (F29) started crossfit I think February 2023, initially I was going 2-3 times per week and then I decreased to 1x weekly due to different health issues, and also because I do other activities. I never did sport in my life until I started crossfit and I really liked it at the beginning. I...

    I’m so tired of hearing “it’s not like they’re going to the games...”

    I dunno about you but I’m getting pretty damn tired of hearing people in person and on here saying dumb shit like “it doesn’t matter, it’s not like they’re going to the games” in reference to people cheating or not hitting movement standards etc. during the open workouts. BULLSHIT... If it...

    Went to a Klokov seminar over the weekend. Here's review (x-post from /r/weightlifting)

    Beginning of this year, I heard of Beachside CrossFit hosting a weightlifting seminar with with former Russian weightlifter Dmitry Klokov and I jumped on the opportunity with the zero money I had. Being a college student rules! For those who have been under a rock and don’t know who Dmitry...

    Remembering Weights

    Hey, yall. Sorry if this is silly, and for the novel. I started CrossFit at the end of May, and yesterday was my first using percentages. I also have a learning disability called dyscalculia, which makes numerology, number sense, and basic computations on the fly really hard. For example, I’ll...

    8 years off

    I did crossfit from Jan 2014 to Nov 2016. I’m almost 35 years old and have been back at it for nearly a month. I’ve already lost 15lbs from keto/WODs but the cardio is getting me the most. I feel stronger than ever before but my cardio sucks and I want to puke after. Does anyone around my age...

    Hi Fellow Crossfitters! So I overbought some Nike training shorts for my fellow gym members and I have a lot left. I bought these at the Nike store and they all come with tags.

    Please Take My CrossFit Survey! I hope to collect data then create some graphs and infographics based on the info!

    I noted in the survey, but UB means Unbroken, and I think the other abbreviations in there are pretty universal. Please make sure that whatever numbers you put in for the gymnastics or weightlifting are "open standard"! (HSPU would only count if the surface your head touched was even with the...

    Local Competitions are humbling

    This past weekend I did a female partner competition at a local gym. I always find them humbling because although I am always at the top of the whiteboard at my gym, I'm usually middle of the pack at these local competitions. In this case we came in 4th out of 9 teams - which fuels my fire to...
