Hamstring Tightness??

lundi 7 novembre 2016

Hi!! :) I'm an 18 year old elite athlete (javelin), and I've had my far share of injuries over the years! Although a few months back I was doing a regular pool running sessions but slipped over pool side and did the splits! I didn't think much of it at the time as I'm pretty flexible anyway, there was no sudden pain and had no pain with running, squats, or lifting but only experienced 'pain' when directly activating the hamstring or stretching it. Although when I say pain, it's more of a really bad muscle fatigue/soreness and toughness rather than a sharp pain people normally refer to when they talk about hamstring strains/tears.

Almost 3 months after the incident, I still struggle with strengthening and stretching my hamstring, with this severe muscle soreness lasting for days even after really light stretching. Just wondering if anyone else has had ongoing hamstring issues and could possibly shed some light on what may be causing the discomfort.

Any suggestions for exercises other than just the usual (hamstring curls, nordics etc)?? Thanks!

Going Beyond Paleo

lundi 31 octobre 2016

I've attached copy of our 22 page PDF on nutrition. It’s designed both for the beginner who may have experimented with other diets, and especially for people who are looking to take their existing diet to the next level.

The PDF boils down over 5000 hours client coaching to the 16 most important points to follow. The 16 points that if you don’t get right, you won’t be successful. In the appendix you’ll find a 4 pages of FAQ’s based on follow-up questions we couldn’t squeeze into the 16 points.

Hope you find it helpful

Current Box Software Leaders

jeudi 27 octobre 2016

Hey all,

We're making some final decisions on Box Management Software.

There's a lot of "rats and mice" out there, we're counting over 60 software programs that claim they serve CrossFit businesses somehow. However, few of these are full service programs (ERP-ish), and of the one's that aren't full service, few offer anything unique that the main players don't also offer.

So, here's our final list
- Mind Body
- Rhino Fit
- Wodify
- Zen Planner

Others we're still possibly considering are...
- Chalk Bucket Labs
- Sugar WOD
- The Triib
- Vurtua-Gym
- Zing-Fit


We'll come back with our findings soon, but are there any other programs we may have missed? Any thoughts, questions, comment? Input very welcome.

Cheers

Sean

Finally CFHQ have started to look at quality and not quanity of the movements during the team series.

I must admit the teams should have look at their videos becuase you can clearly see many of them not locking out, so how did they miss that themselves?

If CFHQ want to keep this creditable then they need to tighten things up, no room for slackers right from the start from the open.

Switching from a power rack to a squat stand. Need advice on what one

dimanche 16 octobre 2016

Hey guys

I currently have a rogue r3 but I am unable to get all 8 anchors in the floor due to rebar in the cement of my garage. I do have 6 out of 8 so it isn't totally a death trap. Anyways I want some thing that can be moved. I'm looking at the rogue squat racks and decide between the sml-3 and the sm-3. Need some input here.

Thanks

Supraprinatus Tear

vendredi 14 octobre 2016

Hi, it's been 6 months since an MRI showed a 1.5 x 1.6mm tear in my Supraprinatus. Surgeon said arthroscopic repair but unfortunately my insurance won't cover it and I've to wait on the public system here or pay $25k. The public system wait may be 12-24 months.
My question is what can I do to strengthen my shoulder? I have full ROM and about 50% strength. My concern is making the tear worse.
I work in construction so need to keep it as strong as I can.
Has anyone else had a tear and just had to get on with it?

Regarding Wednesday 161012

mercredi 12 octobre 2016

Here is today's WOD:

Shoulder press 3-3-3-3-3 reps

I have been following main site for a couple of weeks now after being out of crossfit for a couple of years. I've never followed main site, but I figured it would be a good fit for me right now. In the past, I have followed Outlaw, Invictus or similar more intense programming, so today's workout leaves me wondering....

Is 5x3 shoulder press really a full WOD? Does anyone follow main site, and if so, do you add to such a short workout or just directly follow the programming?

Possibly buying an existing box

mercredi 28 septembre 2016

I have been considering buying a box that was started a few years back when there was a partnership of box owners and one left in June 2015, he was the one that wanted to start the second location, 16 miles from the primary location. Since that time the second location has basically been the "red-headed step child" and left out of a lot. I have been in talks with the current owner and he has given me some "off the cuff numbers" and I was wondering the thoughts of others as far as his valuation of the business. listed below are the numbers, this is in a town in the middle of Iowa

This is off the cuff and fast. Here are some #’s.
48 members
12- 5 days a week $60/month
36- 3 days a week $50/month
That is $30,240/year
Expenses:
Rent $7200/year
Trainers $2400/year
Insurance $1000/year- this is a high estimate
Website- $15/month
Fees for CC processing $50/month

This produces a profit of around $19,000/year. Businesses usually sell for 3-5x a yearly profit. I would go close to lower side of that, for $65,000.

Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

I'd appreciate any feedback on pro/cons and a good starting weight. Thanks.

Fitness continuum mod to address competition

Keeping people aligned with their stated goals and not distracted by other things is a challenge.

Competition is often one of the "other things" that gets in the way.

This modification to the sickness-wellness-fitness continuum has been helpful in illustrating the risk associated with competition and how it can detract from ones goal of optimal fitness.

Hope you find it useful.

Rogue Ohio Bar with Spacers?

jeudi 8 septembre 2016

I recently purchased an Ohio bar from Craigslist. I took it apart to clean it and found that there were spacers in both ends and a two half washers that fit into a groove. All of the videos I can find on bar maintenance show only the two clips. The end caps are Ohio end caps and the bar has brass bushings. End caps are dated 2014.

Anyone else have an Ohio bar with spacers in the ends? Is this normal or did I get something other than an Ohio bar?

Home gym suggestions

vendredi 2 septembre 2016

I trying to pick some few brains on here as to what else would nice to have for use at home and at the fire station. When I do workout at home it is either outside, at a park or in my living room (rental, no garage). I live in small town with no CF box. Get my lifts in at a globo gym and then a met-con anyway I can.

I have a good amount of equipment and I get a good variety of movements in, it would be nice to have some variety.

Below is a list of equipment I currently have
Rings, Door Strap for Rings
Agility ladder, cones
Dragging sled
Abmat
Ab Roller
3 in 1 Plyo box (20”-24”-30”)
Jump Rope
Schwinn AirDyne
53# and 35# Kettlebells
20# and 30# Slam Ball
Brute Force Sand bag
20# Medicine Ball
PVC parellettes

One thing I was leaning towards was a 2 pood kettlebell as swing with the 53# are getting pretty easy. Whatever do I decide to get would be fairly easily transportable so I can bring to work and back. Thanks

bumper plates - choosing weights

Interested to hear thoughts on what bumper weights (as in, the mass not the brand) folks would suggest for outfitting a garage gym.

I know a 'standard' set of bumpers would be 25/20/15/10kg or 55/45/35/25lb, but for WODs and general lifting is there any advantage I'm missing of having these increments over, say, sticking to 45lb and 25lb plates along with the usual change and fractional plates?

I'm imagining something like minimising the number of plates on the bar minimises the amount of jiggling and hence energy loss in a maximal fast lift? Would this even make a difference without competition collars?

lundi 29 août 2016

CrossFit UP in Santa Cruz, CA is in search of a part-time Level 1-certified CrossFit instructor.

The facility opened in November 2013 alongside DeWitt Physical Therapy. Our programming model from warm-up to workout is heavily influenced with a strong mechanics and correctives emphasis. We utilize the FMS to asses all of our clients for functional deficiencies and asymmetries so that we can correct rather than exacerbate those issues from the beginning. All correctives for joint stability and mobility are not only included in the member's FMS packet but are also programmed into the warm-up which changes daily and is based on the exercises in the workout of the day. In addition to including physical therapy-based correctives we also stress injury prevention and mechanics first, consistency second and intensity third.

Check out our box: www.crossfit-up.com

As a candidate we ask that you possess:
Current CrossFit L1 certificate (w/additional speciality certifications preferred)
Minimum 1 year of CrossFit coaching experience
Thorough understanding of CrossFit methodology and movement scaling
Possess or working toward Bachelor's of Science Degree (human sciences preferred)
Excellent communication skills
Willingness and ability to learn

We are looking for a coach to cover 3-5 hours/week initially with the strong possibility of more hours in the future. Current hours that are in need of coverage are 8 am Tuesdays and 9 am Monday/Wednesday/Friday.

Only serious email inquiries please, no phone calls. You have to be CrossFit Level 1 certified and have coaching experience to be considered for this position. Thanks!

All of my bumper plates and 2 of my 4 barbells are Pendlay brand. I guess I never considered, when buying the barbells, that a "lifetime warranty" is only as good as the company that provides that warranty.

Sorry, just had to vent. Kinda upset right now... :mad:
Did I miss the boat with Pendlay???

xfit and chondropathy

vendredi 29 juillet 2016

Hi everybody,

I'm a traditional martial arts practitioner from Rome - Italy who trained in crossfit for one year only but fell in love with the system. Unfortunately the sharp shape of my tibia and a valgus knee lead me to a 3rd degree chondropathy to my left knee.
I'm kinda desperate, and in need of suggestion.

Is there any way to continue in crossfit? How should I adapt all the heavy loads and squat type exercises in order to have a balanced training / body?

Thank you all in advance!

Rich or Matt?

mercredi 27 juillet 2016

Sure Matt has a few more years to prove himself but this year was dominant and against people who gave Rich a go. I believe it gets harder each year to win the games but basically 200 more points ahead makes a statement. Rich has 7 years of victory basically without any real injuries that I have heard of? We will see if Matt can stay healthy and stay on top. Might be another person out of nowhere that comes up but right now he is staying the champ for a while.

Who wins the battle head on Matt or Rich?

Sadly they had them together at the Ranch.. silly repeat of a silly workout that Matt smoked him on.. much shorter so had the advantage.

I pick Matt right now because that is all that he focuses on. Rich has a wife and kid, gym, team..

Our box has 80 CrossFit athletes and is growing larger every month! We also offer a popular Bootcamp class that provides a great way for many people to step into the world of fitness. With these two programs, CrossFit Amatak has grown to over 150 members ranging in ages from 14-60, coming from 30+ countries - one of the most diverse and strong communities you'll come across!

Job Responsibilities
  • Coach Bootcamp, CrossFit & On-Ramp classes – Lead or support a maximum of 20 classes per week.
  • Ensure Athlete Safety & Satisfaction – Athlete safety and correct movement standards should be highest priority. We ask that you lead from the front and be able to demonstrate great form and personal work ethic to inspire it in others.
  • Event Management – As part of your responsibilities we’d like you to lead event management and organization with support of the other staff and community members. This will mean helping get logistics and other items up and running for offsite workouts, parties and other events.
  • Willing to make a 1 to 2-year commitment – This is a big one and if this is your first time living abroad, and it’s a tough one, but we are looking for someone who is in it for the long haul.

Qualifications
  • Level 1 Crossfit Certification – Candidates with additional certifications will be given preference.
  • 1+ Years Crossfit coaching with affiliated box – We need someone who can hit the ground running but don’t let the years of experience scare you off, just demonstrate you have what it takes.

We need someone equally willing to say, ‘sure no problem’ as they are, ‘sorry, we can’t do that’ as appropriate. Members will be bringing sensitive issues to you – e.g. pregnancies, body image worries, health situations – you need to be able to handle these conversations tactfully and ensure members feel valued and respected (and helped!).
  • Culturally sensitive – Unless you’ve lived abroad before, this will be a life changing experience. Cambodians are super friendly but we’ll have athletes from all over the world, frequently with English as a second language and we need someone who is excited to work with different cultures.
  • Dedication to making a difference – Do you feel passionate about making a life-changing difference in people’s health and fitness? This may be right for you.

Preferred but not required
  • Other training/safety certifications – USAW-L1SP, NASM, NSCA-CPT, CSCS, or ACSM, Kettlebell, nutrition, swimming, CPR/AED, etc.
  • 4 Year University Degree or Military Career (with honorable discharge) – Physical Education or similar degree preferred but not required.

cheesecake/fat free cream cheese

dimanche 17 juillet 2016

I'd like to make the following cheesecake recipe :

12oz Fat Free Philadelphia Cream Cheese
10oz Plain Greek Yogurt
2 Whole Eggs
1-2 Tbsp Stevia
¼ Cup Milk
1.5 Scoops Whey Protein
1tsp Vanilla Extract
Dash Salt


However, I can't find fat free cream cheese in the UK.
All I can find is Philadelphia Lightest which has 2.5g of fat per 100g and seems to be termed a soft cheese. Could I sub this in?
I can get low fat quark? Can this be subbed in for cream cheese?
Thanks

Programming for competition

samedi 16 juillet 2016

Been doing Crossfit for about 3 years now. Last 2 years have been following the free WODs posting on Crossfit Mayhem. I turned 40 last year and have been actively competing in local/regional events. I have a 4 man masters team event in 2 months and wanted to change my programming to better prepare me for this competition. I have all the standards available. Mayhem is currently focusing on some strength cycles which are fine but I wanted to up the intensity/volume a little for this competition so I peak at the right time. No local coaches are much help. Anyone have any luck with setting up personal programming online? Really want someone to focus me on the specific exercises and with a team emphasis. Thanks for the help.

Personally think that its a bad idea to get guns involved in Crossfit. Especially with what is going on in the US right now. Like the article says Crossfit would not sign up Soda, Smokes etc.. why this one.

I really hope that they change their minds and think about the responsibility that the gun would have. Seriously bad decision and hope that for once HQ un winds that deal that they made.

Post surgery tips

mercredi 13 juillet 2016

I am about to have a pretty major hip surgery, I was told I would be out for 8-12months. It was nothing I did or could have prevented, just something I was born with. My question is what should I change my macro percentages to help with my diet since I won't be working out that much if at all for a little bit. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

5.11 TacTec Vest Issues

lundi 11 juillet 2016

Ok, so was looking at weight vests lately, and was intrigued by the TacTec after seeing them in the Games Murph WOD last year. But, I was put off by the price, so I waited. For Father's Day, I was visiting 5.11's site, and noticed they had everything 20% off, so pulled the trigger, and ordered the plates from Rogue.

Well, after getting everything, I'm highly confused. Can anyone comment on how the plates are installed? Is the vest directly from 5.11 different than the one from Rogue?

I tried to attach pics, but gave up after trying to resize, and then reduce size...ugh.

So, the problem I'm facing is that with the plate pushed all the way up into the vest, there are two vertical straps with Velcro on the end, that should wrap around the bottom of the plate, and then attach to the horizontal strips on the opposite side of the inside of the plate compartment. The problem is, that by the time the Velcro locks together, there is about one inch of space between the bottom of the plate and the webbing, so the plate slides down an inch or more when putting the vest on.

I gave up on it after messing with it for over an hour, thinking I must just not be strapping it up correctly. Just thought I'd ask here, as I assume someone has this vest.

Flat soled training shoes

So I am looking for a flat shoe to train in (no running, I've got nike frees for that) I've got oly shoes, but am looking for a flat soled shoe that doesn't compress much. I am not a fan of chucks other than as a walking around shoe, and therefore am looking at adidas superstars, sambas and the reebok crossfit lite tr aka powerlifting shoe.

the problem is I can only find the adidas shoes, the crossfit lite tr I can't seem to find it anywhere, anyone know of a place (even online) where to buy them? I'm only seeing women's

building a platform to account for grade in a garage

vendredi 8 juillet 2016

hey guys

in the process of buying a newly built house, the garage has a drain in the middle with the grade of the garage angling towards it, wondering if anyone has insight on how to make a lifting platform that is level in there, don't want barbells rolling all over the place (into my wifes car). I have considered just sticking a few pieces of board under the low edges but that would create an unsupported area in the middle and I dunno if that would break.

Website to connect garage gyms

I remember reading a thread about this when I had first joined this forum. But has anyone heard of any place connecting people with garage gyms to each other? I figured this would be a cool way to connect travelling crossfitters, or crossfitters who don't go to an affiliate but instead workout in their garage. If anyone has heard of something like this please let me know, if not I'm thinking of creating something of the sort.:thanx:

2016 Games Banter...starting off with Murph

lundi 4 juillet 2016

So, Murph again. I can't say I'm excited as it isn't the most entertaining to watch, but it will show who has been putting in the work. If you watched the 2015 documentary Justin J made a very good point. Most athletes will be able to tell you their Fran, Helen, Diane... time to the second whereas a lot know their Murph time to the minute or couple minutes. Plus, they may not be bringing quite the intensity when it comes to workouts like this.

I have a feeling this is going to hurt as much as last year.

Fringe Econo GHD

Anybody used the Fringe Sports Econo GHD?

It looks solid with exception of the foot holder, it rocks back and forth. Probably could use rectangle tubing instead of square to fix that, but otherwise it looks solid for $399 shipped.

I actually think their even cheaper econo one looks better to me but it doesn't have a split pad... and I haven't seen them side by side.

Training a kid with autism

dimanche 3 juillet 2016

My 4 year old got diagnosed with autism last summer. Thinking I wanna get him out in the garage gym to keep him active. Was gonna put him in a crossfit kids class but non of the gyms around here run classes for kids that young. I do have my level 1 and a few certs and ran the crossfit club for my military unit so I do have coaching experience. Anyone have experience training a kid with special needs. Any advice will be greatly appreciated

Home Equipment

samedi 2 juillet 2016

I am starting to build up my gym and it looks like I have a few more bucks to spend for now. I do have some medical concerns, and I will have to limit somethings like Box Jumps, running in the heat, actually just working out in the heat. This is one major reason I am building an area to work out at home that is Air conditioned.

What I have already gathered, ordered or have planned.

12X8 platform/workout area, center will be nice plywood to mount rack and have a lifting area. The two sides will be 4X8 areas to have enough room to do different Movements. My room is 13X10.

Titan T3 HD short rack, should be here today
400+ pound bumper set from Vulcan, I'll probably need some more weight soon
Vulcan Change plates
Vulcan Standard Olympic Bar 28.5mm
Nice wooden Olympic rings ( forget brand, but they have nice numbered straps and some good looking well reviewed rings)
Building some Plyo boxes, might as well break out my Woodworking tools
Basic personal gear, Abmat, jump rope

Things I am considering

Medicine ball set, most probably 14lb and 20lb for now (looking at RepFitness)
Kettlebells, I really like the American Barbell models, thinking 35, 45, 55 lbs plus something for the wife, I rarely have gone heavier on a KB
Bench... I never use a bench for bench press, I had a fancy Body Solid bench that was too big, too tall, and just in the way at my previous house. Just a basic flat bench maybe... there is a cheap adidas bench that gets good reviews, not paying $300 for something that is going to rarely get used, probably will be a seat more than anything else.

I really want a GHD but DO not want to put out the money for what they ask for these days. $600 for a basic GHD is highway robbery. Maybe the NYBB one is good enough. These things use to be CHEAP. Before Crossfit was big I bought a commercial one for a couple hundred bucks when I purchased my previous Rack. (this was YEARS ago, items have been sold by now)

Any suggestions. I guess I have about $1000 to spend on top of what I already have or have ordered.

I don't have room indoors for a rope, might get one in the fall for outside, wall ball shots are going to be interesting with an 8ft ceiling.

New Gym equipment for the garage gym

Looking to add a new piece to the garage gym. Looking at either a reverse hyper, or a strongman yoke. Both have their advantages and drawbacks and wondered if any of you have preferences between the two. Assume they are roughly the same cost and that I understand these are both "icing on the cake" purchases for the gym.

Some background:

I have never used a yoke before but really enjoy loaded carries, particularly in any season that doesn't have snow. I currently have a Strongman Frame, farmers walk implements, atlas stone/sandbags and a husafell stone. I also have a prowler and a sled with a couple 100 feet of 2 inch rope. The Yoke would just give a little variety to the loaded carries but i don't know how well it would do in the winter here in Michigan. I do loaded carries 2-4 times a week from spring to fall depending on my current goal(s).

I have only used a reverse hyper twice in my life and liked it. I think my lower back and posterior chain could always be stronger/better conditioned. I have tweaked my lower back twice over the last three years and do believe that if i work harder to strengthen this area my overall lifting longevity would be extended. I do have a regular hyperextension bench and a GHD. So again this would prob be redundant and "nice to have for variety". But I do think this would become a higher frequency of use machine similar to my dip bars or pull up bar.

Interested in opinions of the gang here.

https://youtu.be/iH4q8K_ISYE

If you're have interest in my post please watch and listen to this video first.

Im not sure how this will be recieved on here but I'm looking for someone to help me become a competitive crossfitter from the ground up. I was trying to do my own research and build my own programming which led me to Bergeron's page and his explanation of an athlete he took a chance on is what led me to this idea. He gave him an endurance program and the guy went from not being able to run 200m to training with some competitive athletes in about 6 months (not saying that time frame applies to me) I can run 200m so no worries but I believe Im still just a little above a beginner. What Bergeron did is exactly what Im looking for. Give me goals, set expectations to meet in a certain time frame so I can show you my dedication and that I can actually do it. If I can't find someone thats willing to take a chance on me Im just going to follow Bergerons programming and alter it to my current limitations. I dont mind being someones guinea pig if there's a person out there with real knowledge trying to build their resumé as a coach. I'm trying to start as soon as possible.

Give me a shot and I'll give you all I got.

CrossFit terms in Chinese? 专门词翻译成中文

samedi 18 juin 2016

We are in the (long) process of opening a box in China, and I'm wondering if anyone out there has already come up with translations in Chinese for CrossFit-ese words like Thrusters, toes-to-bar, double-unders, etc.

A related question is whether or not anyone has attempted to translate basic resources like the "What is Fitness?" article? I know there is a version of the Level 1 Training Guide out there in Chinese, but I've heard that the translation is pretty bad. Any thoughts?

Just hoping to avoid re-inventing the wheel! I'm assuming it's been done, since there are more and more boxes in China, and there have been Level-1 seminars for a couple years now.

大家好!有没有人已经翻译CrossFit的专业词?比如Thrusters 等等。 谢谢!

Thanks!

Bumper plates

vendredi 17 juin 2016

Hi everyone,

I am going, finally, to buy a decent barbell and some bumper plates, so I can workout at home :) .

I am not from US, I am from Portugal, Europe. I have a dilemma, in my country we already have some bumper plates with good prices, I have tried some of them in my box and I did some comparison by myself between one type of bumper plates that I can buy in my country and rogue bumpers plates and they looked very similar, but I would like to ear your opinion.

Both of the bumpers plates that I did test were made in China, the "national ones" and rogue, because of that one question raised on my mind, should I go for rogue echo bumper plates or go for the "national ones", because both of them are made in China? What do you think?

Of course, national ones are cheaper. I will save 115€ on 150kg set.

Cheers!

Workout in honor of Orlando shooting victims

Hi all, we're doing a special WOD tomorrow in memory of the 49 Orlando shooting victims. Feel free to do the workout, share with your affiliates, etc.

Friday 6.17.16

"The Orlando 49"
With a partner. One works, one rests. Resting partner always holding medicine ball off the ground (20/14 Rx, 14/10 scaled)
49 burpee pull ups
49 overhead squat 115/75 75/45
400m run, each carrying a med ball
49 front squat (Same bar as OHS)
49 burpee box jumps 24/20

This workout is dedicated to the 49 victims of the Pulse night club shooting in Orlando.

At CrossFit Sabertooth we have a diverse population in so many ways -- Christian, Muslim, Jewish, not religious at all, different ethnicities and cultural backgrounds, sexual orientation, political leanings, economic status, fitness level and athletic background...the list goes on and on. None of that matters when we step through the door into the gym. We are united by our desire to be our best selves through fitness; united by our willingness to push our physical limits on a regular basis; united by our shared moments of triumph and adversity.

When members of our community are hurting -- feeling pain and confusion and fear, brought on by a senseless act of violence like the Orlando shooting -- we can come together and support each other, and make an extra effort to be a constant source of positivity and strength for our fellow members and coaches.

So when you step into the gym tomorrow to complete this workout, take a second to think about the victims and their families. When you're getting tired and sweaty and want to slow down, keep going strong in honor of those who won't get another chance to. Take a second to appreciate the gifts you've been given. Make no mistake -- the physical ability to complete a workout like this is absolutely a gift, no matter how long it takes you or how much you scale it.

You only get one chance at life on this earth. Make it count.

OK to leave plates on the bar?

mercredi 15 juin 2016

Obviously etiquette dictates that you should deload the bar and return plates/bar back to storage for the next person or group.

however, if it's just me in my puny gym (read: room), is it ok to leave the bar loaded? it's not out of laziness to deload the bar, but more as a reminder that i need to lift that sucker. if it's detrimental to the bar, i'll keep deloading. otherwise, is there any harm in it? (besides the occasional shin shocker)
OK to leave plates on the bar?

Question about Interns

Hi everyone. We are a relatively new affiliate on Long Island (6 months) and have a few experience Crossfitters that have joined as members - and looking to get their Level 1 certification in the very near term.

How do most affiliates deal with intern situations? Are they paid? Compensated with free membership yet required to shadow a certain number of hours etc etc.

Any experiences you can share would be helpful.
-Thanks!

Regional OVERALL rankings

samedi 11 juin 2016

Probably not the first one to think of this but does anyone know if HQ or anyone creates an overall leader board for regionals? What I mean by this is if someone (obviously the scoring would have to be updated to work with a lot more athletes) created a leaderboard for everyone who took part in the regionals, giving them scores and having an overall winner. I know its not 100% representative but it'd be cool to see how it matches up to who actually wins the games and placements and what not.

Camille Leblanc-Bazinet is training Parkour to become a more adaptable and competitive athlete.

http://ift.tt/25NUUI2 (wfs)
______________

When was the last time you stumbled across a set of rings outside the gym? Sorry CrossFit. Sorry gymnastics. Even bars are extremely rare in the man-made concrete jungle. The wall muscle-up, known as a climb-up, is the real world, urban application of the muscle-up. Along with rolls and landings, climb-ups are among the most useful of all parkour skills. Real world emergency situations don't discriminate. If you were in an urgent scenario where you had to reach or escape, could you get up and over a wall or fence with the utmost speed and efficiency?
______________

The video above shows a few highlights from day 2 of parkour training with Camille Leblanc-Bazinet. After 60 short min. of hard work drilling my climb-up progressions and exercises, Camille already has a better climb-up than the majority of the parkour community. Major props to her friend David Lee, an alpinist, who also learned to do a beautiful climb-up during his 2nd #parkour session ever. A few important takeaways from this experience:
______________

1) Smart and dedicated strength training allows you to learn parkour WAY faster. #ParkourStrength
2) A good process for learning the climb-up, one of parkour's toughest foundational skills, is invaluable for demystifying the deceptive amount of skill involved.
3) Why struggle for months or even years trying to master this move when you can learn a highly effective process that builds the necessary strength and skill for lightning quick climb-ups? And that's where I come in. In just a few hours, I can teach you, or at least put you on the fast track to, a skill that took me over a decade to master as an athlete and coach. Message me if you need help deconstructing effective strength training and skill development for the #ClimbUp.

Is Crossfit HQ to harsh on some and lets some slide a bit

Over the last few years CF HQ has given out some punishments that seem harsh to some people and not harsh enough to others.

Danielle Sidel- Video denied no score thus out of the regionals. I believe that she was at Army School and that was all of the time she had.

Josh Golden- Video denied no score thus out of the regionals (I did watch the video and the standards were horrible)

Fast forward a few years-
Josh Bridges- Video was attached a 15% penalty. Allowed to go to the regionals
His video was crap to say the least. The people doing the workout around him were crap also. Dude is a beast and I am sure his wants to show the world he is back got in the way of not re doing the workout.
I forgot what team (Team Conjugate?) used the short plates on 16.1 but they installed a penalty for the whole team.

Laura Phelps-Sweatt- did not take the test which is an admission of guilt- HQ kicked the whole team out no Regionals.

Masters Champ Shawn Ram- best guy in the world and love him and Crossfits darling little brother James G were both assessed a penalty on the only video they turned in.

I have seen others turn in a score for Masters Qual and have the workout disqualified (2 years ago and last year). They were in the top 20 also. No games for them. One of them is a friend of mine who I have competed with and he is legit for sure.

I saw that 2 years ago OPT's video was dinged a few seconds in a wall ball workout. I know that he pushes the limits and uses the slam ball for a wall ball.

Basically seems like Crossfit wings it a little and makes up new rules. In the spirit of the games stuff like that.

I know its hard to do this for them. Because people push the line for sure and they like that. But making up things as they go or re making things after it happens is not ok.

I think that if one video is suspect they should immediately turn in all of the videos.

I don't think that the penalty thing is working. You either pass or no pass.

I have seen some videos pass that left you thinking "Wow" and they passed.

Maybe the video should be made public if not all ready done?

What are your thoughts on how to deal with this stuff and make it fair and consistent?

FS: Brand New Nike Vapor 8" Flex Training Shorts (Grey & Black) (S/M/L/XL)

Hi Fellow Crossfitters!

So I overbought some Nike training shorts for my fellow gym members and I have a lot left. I bought these at the Nike store and they all come with tags. Receipts are all gone and getting all this Nike store credit is just nuts so I figured maybe the community might want some of the same shorts Bridges, Rasmus, and Fisher are wearing =) Plus, they're apparently sold out everywhere which is why I bought so many for our gym members. Gearheads....oy.

In Grey, I have: 2 Smalls / 2 Mediums / 5 Larges
In Black, I have: 3 Smalls / 2 Mediums / 1 Large / 2 X-Larges

Price

WBS -Karen

What is the best way to get batter at Karen. I have a time of 6:38 currently. I want to go faster and I would love to go unbroken. What should I do to accomplish this. I have done 75 to 90 unbroken already but I didn't focus on how many I could do in a row.I k ow my endurance has slipped ao that has to get back. What else would help? Doing wbs in a vest (I just like using a vest), extra squats or a cycle?
The story behind this is I am the current leaderboard record hdr at our gym. I just turned 40 not that it matters. We have a 27-28 year old who squats a ton and tells me he will beat. His cardio is that good. We talk a lot of trash all in fun but now they are setting up a showdown for us in August. Any help to the old guy here would be appreciated.

HOw do YOU add crossfit to your workout?

vendredi 27 mai 2016

I've done crossfit wod on and off for several years now. I've also been watching the crossfit games for several years to and I am sure the athletes do a lot more than just the workout of the day. How do you add crossfit to your workout routine? Do you do the workout of the day and possibly add more? I'm wondering how these guys train to get in that kind of shape. I know they are most likely not natural and have youth on their side.

BrandX Scaling or other decent scaled programming?

Hi,

Does the BrandX scaling still exist? I've been away for a long time. Looks at the current BrandX site but cant find a correlation between the daily WODS.

There is still no local affiliate where I live (boggles my mind), so I'm getting the garage gym back up and running. I havent done active Crossfit in probably 3 years so I'm basically starting from scratch.

Can someone point me in the right direction for decent scaled, getting back into crossfit programming?

Thank you!

Anyone? Suggestions?

Non-Profit- Giving Back through CrossFit

jeudi 26 mai 2016

After much soul searching on what my life's purpose is I have decided to start a non-profit charity organization (501(c)(3) status pending) with a mission to give back to worthy charitable causes both locally and globally through the use of CrossFit (presented by CrossFit Healthy Nut).

We also aim to spread awareness on the scalability of CrossFit and how it can be incorporated into everyone’s life, regardless of how good of shape you are in or not in.

How it works......

1. We work with companies looking to make a positive impact on society both locally and globally.
2. We design 4 WODS all to be completed within a 1 hour time cap.
3. 1st WOD is done with either company donor or receiving cause representative and then they watch the other 3 WODS as a fan.
4. The Goal is to accumulate as many reps as possible for the 4 WODS within a 1 hr time cap.

Each rep = $ that the company will donate to the current supported cause.

This is not a 1 time event. We will do this on a continual basis and support multiple causes. All events will be broadcasted Live on Facebook. Viewers online will also get a chance to donate towards the cause by purchasing a support t-shirt along with other fundraising opportunities.

What I ask of you is to just give this page a 'Like' and stay tuned for more information as website and intro video will be dropping soon.

http://ift.tt/25knsZn

Also if you are interested we are a new organization so we are definitely looking for volunteers to help with the cause!

Looking for a shoe recommendation

Looking for a shoe recommendation

Looking for shoe input and suggestions

I realize how subjective this all is, so I'm just looking for your thoughts.

In our recent move one of my shoes disappeared. I've been training in my chucks, but I'm ready to get a better workout shoe again. I'm torn between the Metcon 1, Nano 5 or Nano 2. What are your suggestions?
Previous experience, I liked my Metcon 1s, I liked my Nano 2s and I hated the Nano 3. Never got the 4 or 5.

The reason I'm not looking at the Metcon 2 is because I just don't want to pay $130 for what is mostly the same shoe as the first one. I am curious to hear your opinions on the Nano 5 though as I've heard good things about them.

Mobility Reference Material

lundi 23 mai 2016

Hey folks,

We structure things using 8x of what we call "Value Units".
Discrete vehicles for adding value to our new clients.

C1 - Strength
C2 - Conditioning
C3 - Skills

X4 - Mobility
X5 - Recovery
X6 - Education

S7 - Community
S8 - Experience

We've spent the last 12 months or so, dialling in a lot of this curriculum, but an area where we definitely lack is in mobility.

We'd like to progress to the point where, using our custom database software, we prescribe individual mobility prescriptions for each new member as easily and as reasonably expertly as possible.

But I'm struggling to find a trusted resource / reference...

Can anyone make any suggestions that I can look into, and perhaps why you recommend them.

Much appreciated.

Cheers

Sean
