    0 reps is way better than " " reps ?!?!?

    Here is what seems like a flaw in the leaderboard logic: In my 65+M division, all the dudes that entered 0 reps for workout are tied for 250th place. All of us that didn't bother to enter a score are tied for 292nd place. We are nicked 42 extra points for not entering a 0. I can handle it. But...

    What tape do you use when on the bars (e.g., for toes to bar)

    My palms are torn from the other day and instead of buying gloves I was hoping there is a tape out there that I could buy to cover the tear until it heals? Maybe this is a dumb question and gloves are the answer. Just wondering if there are alternatives you like to use?

    What do y’all think of speakeasy gyms?

    This was earlier in the yr when we were under a real lockdown, and I’m in the USA. There’s a gym in my area that told all its members they officially closed but that members could still come work out at certain times—like morning and night when the sun is not out. They have to park in the back...

    Anyone else tired of C&K’s spammy emails now a days...

    Now before anyone makes a comment sure, I could just unsubscribe, but I like to see what upcoming releases they have in regards to new products. But today’s email takes the cake. The email had nothing to do with weightlifting, Crossfit, or the culture. Just some random dude talking about coffee...

    CrossFit Open & Pregnancy

    I’ve been doing CrossFit for 8 months and really enjoying it. I discovered I was pregnant a couple of weeks ago, but decided to stay going as much as I could. I registered for the Open and told my coach about the pregnancy. I’ve been feeling good but would say I am fatigued. I’m around 8 weeks...

    How to improve my cardio?

    Hi I'm 31 F and I'm struggling. Every cardio exercise is torture to me. Especially burpees, my belly is in the way and I feel like my heart is about to stop. I avoid Team sessions because I know I will be a burden and yesterday my regular session turns out to be a Team one and I felt my teammate...

    “I’m going to Rx 18.3” ~ A guy who can’t do pull-ups

    I’m not going to be able to do a single pull up in 18.3. So I might as well spend the 14 minutes slowly going through my DUs and OHS. At least I’ll rank higher since I started and Rx instead of finished a Scale

    How and why do very short (e.g., 1-2 second) breaks help in workouts?

    Did 24.2 today and got 8+ rounds. Did the first 7 rounds of deadlifts 5/5. Tried to do the final round unbroken, but couldn't hold on to the bar and ended up doing 6/4 with a quick break between the 6 and 4. Why does even a 2 second break between reps (on any movement, really) help? I get that...

    What separates the elite from the rest

    I have been doing CrossFit for 8 months and have completely fallen in love with the programming and the community. I work out 7 days a week and usually 2xday, currently the WOD and my own Murph prep (it’s 6 weeks away) for the 2nd workout. I observe the elite athletes in my box and what they...

    bOX cULTS

    I'm not trying to upset anyone here but I have a question. Crossfit is seen as a cult by some. I get that. I like it. Whatever. One of the boxes in town is also very proactive in a local church and Advocare (maybe Amway too, idk). Is it weird that I'm turned off by this? Churches here can be...

    Compression pants...virus or cW-X

    With the recent posts on CrossFit gear wishlists, I noticed that many recommend compression pants. As a runner, I already own several pairs of CW-X compression pants. I firmly believe that compression pants aid in recovery from longer distance running and I can see the potential benefits from...

    3.5 months in our local box. New to this sub. 26/f. Any ladies in this sub?

    I have already lost 25 pounds and stronger than I have ever been before. Wore a bikini to the pool for the first time in 6 years. Is this a good place to post before/after pics? How strong is this sub? Any new people to cross fit?
