Anybody else on Mayhem hit this today? First time attempting a chunk like that.

Did NCFit for 2 years prior to our switch.

Rounding 60cals was very disheartening.

Mayhem gets very redundant, but I have to admit, it’s made daunting workouts much less intimidating.

That dude needs to be Sean Woodland’s permanent partner. It was so refreshing to hear someone that knows how humans speak along with Woodland’s performance. He was relaxed, funny and insightful in a way that we very rarely hear in CrossFit comps.

A question on C2B pull-ups

0 Upvotes

I struggle doing the butterfly kip with C2B pull-ups, so I use the old school C-kip when doing them. I’m not interested in competing. I just want to be fit. Do you think I need to learn both kips or does it not matter?

The workout today got me WAY out of my comfort zone, but that’s why we do this stuff.

4 Rounds for time, or not:
800m Run
40 Air Squats
30 Hollow Rocks
12 Chest-to-bar Pull-ups

Thanks Linchpin for that one. It took me 32:34.

Got any tips for fading wall walks?

2 Upvotes

I expect everyone who has done them knows the feeling. They are sailing along when fresh, but then when tiring from the volume or surrounding work, they collapse to nothing. When fresh, I can do them in three fast steps to limit time under tension. When you get tired, do you go to more steps and waddle up to the line, or stick it out? Any other tips?

Rogue “GymTurf”

Would anyone have any feedback on back / experience with “GymTurf” sold on the Rogue website? I’m looking for an option for sled pushes and pulls in my shop. 50 foot of it is 1,950$! But it looks pretty handy for rolling up when not in use.

First WOD tomorrow - bricking it. Tips please.

15 Upvotes

I have just joined CrossFit and frankly I am so anxious about my first class - not about the strength part which I know I can scale - but about the metcon bit especially if it is a partnered one. I will easily be the most unfit in the room, what if it is a partnered one and I can't complete what they are asking? I don't want to slow another person down, or end up wheezing due to not getting enough of a break because they are so much fitter/faster than me. Any tips to help ease the anxiety or give me an idea of how this sort of thing can be broken down to suit differing levels? Obviously I have joined to get fit, I am just worried about being the last in the room and embarrassing myself.

EDIT: I went. Workout today 3 rep max front squat

10 rounds for time (15 min cap) 20 double unders - I scaled to single skips 10 Burpees - also scaled.

But I did it!! Also dying but had so much fun so thank you all!!

How many members does a gym usually lose in ownership change?

My previous gym changed owners and lost around half the members. My new gym is now in the process of transferring ownership and there are already rumors of people worried about changes and ready to leave.

Typically, how many members leave when a gym changes owners?

New Workout

1 Upvotes

Unfortunately, it’s time for me to stop CrossFit. I (62M) trained for about 6 years and stopped early in 2020 due to a partially torn bicep tendon. I started again about 7 months ago but now I have tendinitis in both elbows. My body is telling me to stop high impact work. The only exercise I currently do is brisk walking (I can’t run due to a recurring calf strain that happens when I start to run after a few times a week). I’m unhappy when I don’t exercise. I’d love some advice on what to do next. I’ve considered buying either a rowing machine or an assault type bike but I really enjoy going to a class and working out with others. I’ve done lots of martial arts in the past but, at my age and being a small business owner, I have a real fear of getting injured and not being able to work (happened years ago when I injured my back doing squat cleans). I don’t really know what to do if I go the Planet Fitness route since the only weight training I’ve ever seriously done was CrossFit.

What type of exercise program would you all suggest?

Edit 1: I’m a scaled athlete, especially now. Years ago, at my peak, I’d RX maybe 10% of the wods and I trained 3-4 days a week. I am what I am. I’m not a guy who’s going to RX most wods. For those who suggest I should put my ego aside, well, that’s what I’m doing now. Those who suggest I just stick with it and scale even more need to read my post and please answer the question. Will I ever go back to CrossFit? Yes, I think I will and hope I will because I truly enjoy it but right now isn’t the time. What I need to do now is find something with a bit less of a high impact on me and my arthritic toe, aching knees, bad lower back, partially torn bicep tendon and elbow tendonitis (in both elbows).

Little old lady beginning Crossfit

16 Upvotes

Hi everyone! I just finished my 2nd Crossfit class. I'm a petite 57-year-old woman, 5'1", 110 pounds, white hair, frail looking. Of course I started with the lowest possible weights (15-pound training bar, tiny little kettlebell about the size of an orange). I feel like these low weights make it difficult to figure out the technique because they're easy to lift. How will I know when it's time to increase the weight? At my regular gym, I do shoulder presses with two 15-pound dumbbells, and I bench press the bar. My legs are pretty strong from the stairstepper. I used to be stronger, but I slacked and lost a lot of muscle. I feel like the instructor is so far ahead of me that he doesn't even know what to recommend, so he just tells me to use the smallest everything. Obviously I don't want to try to lift too heavy and hurt myself, but I want to challenge myself. Should I just start trying heavier bars and kettlebells? Also, there are exercises that are a percentage of my 1-rep max, but how do I figure out my 1-rep max? Just walk around and pick stuff up until I find something that I can't pick up? Am I being too impatient?

TYR clothes in Canada

Hello everyone,

Does someone know a website where I can buy TYR clothes in Canada? I bought some when I went to WZA and just love the brand but their website doesn’t propose clothes for Canada.

Thank you!

Did the Devil create Bulgarian Split Squats?

26 Upvotes

I feel like I have decently strong legs until my personal kryptonite gets programmed…Bulgarian split squats. Man! Why are these things just so tough? I do kinda like them, because I know they help make me stronger. I would describe them as good for my legs and bad for my ego. 😂 Am I alone in feeling this way?

The Linchpin workout for today was…

5 Rounds, not for time of:
1 L-sit Rope Climbs, 15 ft.
7 Bulgarian Split Squats, R
7 Bulgarian Split Squats, L

Rest as needed, then...

4 Rounds for time of:
400m Run
15 GHD sit-ups
12m Handstand Walking

CrossFit after donating blood?

Anyone else attempt to do CrossFit/a hard workout the day after donating blood? I felt so utterly slow and weak during a workout yesterday (the day after giving blood)… I had to do some mega scaling partway through and almost quit the workout halfway through.

Protein

0 Upvotes

I’ve been in CrossFit roughly a month and I’m still confused about protein intake. On the way to class I’ll have a protein drink with 20-35 g, trying to stay low-zero sugar and low calorie. Should I be consuming more/less or a different form of protein? Or maybe a specific brand? Open to any suggestions!!
