Survey: What CrossFit Movement is the Hardest to Master?

[algrace]

@diademjewel For turkish getups - the movement itself is not at all difficult for me. What I don't 'get' is what in the world it is supposed to be doing / working.

 

[shh]

@namelesshero Well it's effective as fuck on that

 

[rubychrist]

@iphonetrabaohanh Done. This’ll be cool!

@iphonetrabaohanh Snatch and handstand walks

 

[riverwolf1975]

@iphonetrabaohanh Finished! This was interesting; looking forward to seeing results.

@iphonetrabaohanh Overhead Squat and Handstand Walk

 

[nana11]

@iphonetrabaohanh Handstand walk if it was on the list. It requires a lot of skill work to progress into it and no other movement in crossfit really creates a stimulus similar to it. I guess you could argue a ring handstand pushup, but I don't think many gyms would throw that in a metcon ever really (which is good, it would just be begging for injured shoulders)

@iphonetrabaohanh Squat snatch, the shoulder flexibility and strength takes so long to get down.

@iphonetrabaohanh I started at CrossFit from a 0% fitness level and had a five month old baby. I couldn’t hang on the bar much less lift my toes off the ground. 9mo later I was doing ring muscle ups.

I share this with you to tell you I catch on relatively quick.

Handstand walks are beyond my comprehension. I hate them. They’re so frickin hard. I can strict muscle up, but handstand walks .... I don’t even get it. It’s the only thing I legit cannot do. It’s so hard!

@iphonetrabaohanh Heavy snatches?

 

[jaywind]

@iphonetrabaohanh Ring muscle up. The only thing left on my crossfit checklist. Ugh.

 

[dawn16]

@iphonetrabaohanh Getting 50+ consecutive du's.
Ring mu's with proper form.
Snatch.. tons do them. Very few do them correct.

 

[dawn16]

@iphonetrabaohanh You never really master them... otherwise you'd be Fraser

*did your survey*

 

[northeast]

@iphonetrabaohanh Pistol squats for sure.

 

[malgosia63]

@iphonetrabaohanh Maybe incorporate a question that asks about previous experience.

Ex, gymnast as a kid, I could handstand walk before I could kip a handstand pushup..

 

[vtomars]

@iphonetrabaohanh Came to vote handstand walking. Left disappointed.

 

[shaninator]

@iphonetrabaohanh How do I make sure to follow this? I wanna see the results.

 

[iphonetrabaohanh]

@shaninator I'll post the results in this thread as well as a fresh new post on r/crossfit too.

 

[sondancer1978]

@iphonetrabaohanh Handstand push-ups and walks.

 

[samerobert]

@iphonetrabaohanh Oh I didn't mean it like I'm into him. I meant he's so focused on those girls. He'll say hi and then oops there's a female and off he goes. It's like watching someone try to get laid at a party.
I don't think he's ever successful.
