    Do you take Creatine, l-glutamine, and BCAA on rest days?

    How do you vary your intake of each based on your active and rest days? Does this change if you are fasting?

    X2 Freedoms Too Short?

    Does anybody else find Victory's X2 Freedoms to be too short? I ordered according to their sizing chart (I was in the middle of size L, right at 7.5" from just below the bottom of the palm to the tip of my middle finger), but have found that the material barely reaches over the entire bar when...

    Just did 24.2. Gave it my all. Doing crossfit for 6 months. Did scaled.

    As title says, did scaled 24.2. Can't help but feel disappointed with 6 rounds done. How do you deal with the disappointment? Most people in the box did better than me.

    Live Q&A Laura Horvath - I have never talked about this before

    Interesting that she says that she's never done a big international weightlifting competition before, because she also did the 2021 European Championships (9th).

    C&J/Bench Press ratio

    I’ve never seen these lifts compared. Mine is 1:1 which seems about average for males. I’d guess females would be a little higher (stronger C&J) What is yours?

    Beta Alanine & L-Arginine- Diarrhea

    I started mixing these two together as a pre-workout, and it works great, but often times I’ll have diarrhea either halfway or towards the end of the WOD. LOL. Anyone every experience this? If so, did you find a solution?

    Please don’t kip in your handstand push ups

    Hey everyone! I’m prepared to take flack for this but I’ve got to say it. I’ve coached CrossFit classes for a long time (since 2013) and I have seen a growing trend towards putting kips into handstand push ups. If you couldn’t guess it by the title, I really do not like this trend. I am...

    Hot take: ladies, is dating getting difficult after doing CrossFit?

    About me: 39/f been doing CrossFit for 9 years. About 5’6” and 140. This is gonna be a hot take for a LOT of reasons but I can’t help but notice the more CrossFit I do (and the more muscular I become), the less successful I’ve been in dating. There could be a lot of other things to this - of...

    What have you done to significantly improve your conditioning

    Got 116 reps on 23.1a. While I’m not unhappy with it together with my b score I thought I would be able to do at least a little better. Say 130+ reps? How do I improve my conditioning in WODs? My shuttle runs were actually pretty similar in speed maybe +5s every set. My burpees went 5s, 7s, 9s...
