    S&C programming and kinesiology resources outside of CrossFit methodology

    Hi all, I'm just about to start my journey shadowing and hopefully becoming a CF coach. I want to better my understanding of different S&C methods as well as general human physiology and kinesiology. I've done strength training programs along side CrossFit, but I want to better understand how...

    5… or 6 days a week?

    Does anyone notice a qualitative difference in their results / workouts if they go to class 6 days a week as opposed to 5? Or do you find that that extra day of work is largely superfluous?

    2023 Open Goals - Met or Nah?

    As the title says, how are everyone's goals for the 2023 open going? I am falling short of mine. I set a goal of making the quarterfinals after my first open last year where I finished in the 69th percentile. I started doing crossfit during the final workout from the 2021 open and then...

    More reps with lower weight, or less reps with higher weight?

    In todays WOD I did the "RX" (prescribed) weight for Power Snatch and Overhead Squats. I did it slower than others, but completed. The coach says I should do less weight and more reps. I would say my form would be rated a C. I certainly want to better my form, but I also like throwing weight...

    How do you know when not to do a second crossfit workout in the same day?

    A. You feel tired. B. There is pain in at least one shoulder and one knee C. You are getting behind in other responsibilities (work, school, family . . .) D. All of the above. Ok, I had to write this post so that I can tell myself that it is okay to live to fight another day.

    Just joined a CF gym and I’m confused

    I’m a 49 year-old woman brand new to CrossFit but I have been lifting weights for 30 years. I’m well-versed in the traditional style of lifting: working out specific body parts with moderate to heavy free weights, multiple sets, rest in between, etc. CrossFit workouts are new to me. They kick...

    The Gains Lab a quick check in
