    Women’s vs men’s barbell

    Women of CrossFit, does your box have women’s (15 kg) barbells? Mine only has one, so it’s often hoarded by certain people. I find (as a small handed female)I have trouble with my grip using the men’s (20 kg) bars. I asked the owner if we could get more, but she said probably not, as she’s...

    Apparently I suck at zone 2

    In an effort to trim a few lbs this year (6' 220lbs) and improve my cardio I started running longer distances. In true CrossFit fashion I went from 0k to 5k to 10k distances in a couple weeks. I really focused on picking a pace I could sustain and not allow myself to chase metrics which has...

    Where do you store your personal records?

    I have some of them in my crossfit.com profile, but there is no option for all personal records, e.g. front squats, strict press, push press, etc. I started using an app called PR, it's not bad but it contains ads and has no templates, not worth paying $1 a month just to disable the ads. I also...

    Started CrossFit about 4 months ago. Yesterday I 3 rep maxed 305 on my deadlift, pretty proud of myself and thought I’d share

    Total surprise to me. My previous one rep max was 250, no clue how I did it, but I’m finally starting to not feel like the out of shape, weak old guy. I honestly just want to feel good and kinda didn’t care much about weight, but honestly I was genuinely proud of myself. Really glad I found...

    Do you think having teams of m/m, f/f, and m/f all compete in the same division fair?

    Joined a comp the other day and I was unaware that they pooled all three different types of teams together. This means that m/m, f/f, and m/f teams will all be competing against each other. Obviously the weight the guys use will be different than the girls. But doesn’t this seem like an...

    Hello fellow Crossfitters, I work a 9-6 job and sit in front of a computer all day. Mobility recommendations?

    As stated in the title, I sit all day and want to start adding in some mobility work throughout the work day so when I WOD at night i'm not so stiff. Can any of you recommend some good videos or websites that you find helpful? Thanks!
