    Vellner not holding back on Event 6/7 programming

    From his latest recap post, a couple good quotes: "...he (Dave) assured us that they were very different. They weren't." "... They obviously neglected to test these workouts, like at all."

    Women’s question for workout shorts

    Are there any bike short style shorts and/or leggings you especially like for CrossFit that are comfortable without underwear? Or favorite shorts that have a built in brief? Can’t do g-string/thong bc of bacteria transfer (I’m at higher risk, it’s a personal thing). I generally wear Patagonia...

    Getting better means needing more rest??

    30F (I consider myself intermediate, but can RX 2-3 WODs a week, still scaling muscle ups and strict HSPU) Long story short: started CrossFit a few years ago, didn’t get serious about it until the last year & a half, and now that I’m able to RX more WODs, I seem to need more rest days. I love...

    A Regular Guy versus The CrossFit Games Workouts

    So this is a bit late since the Games have already happened and this is really just the stage one portion of the workouts but nonetheless I took a stab at the seven stage one Games workouts and did my best to try it in the same format as the actual athletes did. I did events 1-4 on Saturday...

    Hunter and semis

    Was thinking through the tests and the kind of athlete that would make it and it occurred to me I reckon Hunter McIntyre, had he trained a year, could have made it through these tests and had a good chance of making it to the games. The events skew endurance-y and there’s a lot in favor for...

    Hey, I'm planning to buy some Metcon shoes on Amazon, but I've heard that the sizing runs a bit small. Should I go with my regular size or opt for a larger one?"

    Joined a great gym but I’m embarrassed that I’m last at everything

    Context: I’m 20 and just graduated college in May and started a full time job in the same city and moved to a more social part of the city. I wanted to make more friends and have more discipline for working out, as I definitely slacked in college. I used to play soccer and weight lift a little...

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

    I can recall mine quite vividly, as I felt like I had won the lottery and went home with the prom queen all rolled into one. I also know it well because I do it on my own for open gym on occasion and it's written on the dry erase board in my garage. I guess I am sentimental. I was just shy of 2...

    Rogue Invitational qualy rule: weigh plates and bars (T. Mayer DQ'd)

    UPDATE: Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest in the title that Mayer cheated! And the problem comes up again: some people use fake weights! It's also another aspect CF HQ doesn't care about during online events.

    What do you guys think of unorthodox conditioning tools e.g the versaclimber

    Hey guys! Every now and then I think about how the sport of crossfit might evolve and in which ways it might be heading and moving towards. I believe the last few implements we have seen added were the assault bikes (started with the old-school airdyne), self-propelled treadmills, ski ergs and...

    Thoughts on ppl who've been at it a while and aren't progressing

    There are a couple of ppl at my box who've been at it a long time, like 5 year veterans. They pretty young, probably 30 something and in general nothing is wrong w/ them physically e.g. they're not disabled or handicapped in any way but the thing is they can't even do a strict pull up or a...
