Crossfit???

I havent been doing crossfit, my schedule only allows for like maybe 2 days a week, and I just cant justify that kind of money for only 2 days. I am going to start doing my own thing though, my apartment has some dumbells, so I was thinking of buying/building a box and trying to use just those things lol.[/QUOTE]


Maybe you should try something called "A&S short card". I do it when Im low on time or want to sweat a little...lol. All you need is a pullup bar. It takes 30 min. When your time starts dropping to about 22 min...increase your reps by 5 in the appropriate exercises. Give it a try...if not, no biggie. Just trying to help and give you some new ideas. G/L

 

If he wants the best gym then he wants Front Range Crossit.

 

My apartment doesnt have a pull up bar, I really wish it did. I will have to check it out though, thanks man.

 

I disagree Competitive wise I think MBS and verve have more top contenders.
Depends on what you want to my buddy owns Surge and its a smaller gym where every one knows everyone and brandon just took 8th in the SE. Depends on what you are looking for.

 

Yeah no problem man....they got some pull up bars at walmart for a decent price if not, dont worry about the pull ups(you got dumbells so maybe sub for pike press/military press)just a thought. If you got any questions on some of the exercises, dont hesitate bud.

 

I disagree with you sir. MBS and verve have only 1 top contender. Where as FRCF has an entire team plus an individual athlete as top contenders. Not to say they aren't good gyms. But from a coaching perspective I'd say we have more experience at FRCF. Plus everyone at FRCF knows everyone. But I'm biased.

 

FRCF takes 2nd in the world as a team!!!
Also has a masters competitor take 2nd in the world!!

 

Anyone still training? Getting back into training serious and paleo. Who's in?

 

i'm still crossfitting regularly. working through some injuries at the moment so it's very annoying. i'm stong and conditioned, just can't perform at 100%... oh well. that's life.

gonna do this today. haven't tried it before, want to give it a try

Ya just saw that you posted this in another thread. Was going to take today off but after watching that I may have to give it a try.

 

Headin to the gym to give G.I Jane a go.. a.k.a. 100 burpee pullups for time, probable pukie

 

I finally got back into it. Sucks looking at where I am now compared to where I was. I have a lot of work to do. Feels good to be back at it though.

 

Well kind of dissapointed with GI Jane. Total time was 14:55 was really hoping for sub 10. Today was 10 min of kettlebell long arm cycle. Gnar. Time for some mellow endurance paced stuff now.

 

Yeah I love the WOD's that they come up with
One particular one I came up is

LANCE
5 Pull ups
10 Push ups
15 85lb over head squats
20 kettle bell swings
30 sec jump rope
AMAUCD for 20 minutes

try it out tell me what you think

 

think its a good base, but might be more effective and difficult if you made it 30 double unders. Makes people have to work, and those that can fly through them get more AMRAP. If not the 30sec is kind of like a "break" so to speak

 

Anyone else doing a stupid 12 days of Christmas WODs? 200 Double unders have really put a hurting on me lol.

Today's WOD Day 3
30 Burpees
30 Back Ext
30 Sit-ups
30 Jumpin Jacks
200 Double Unders
1 Dead Hang Pull Up

 

I'm SOOO ready to get back to paleo

 

And on that note, although I havent been at a crossfit gym, I have been doing some wod's on my own at my local gym. The only common movement I can't do is wall balls and ring dips.

I've been doing other workouts in between, mostly which consist of a lot of swimming and enduro stuff, but heres the most recent xfit workouts that I've done.

Saturday:
I enjoyed this one. Felt a bit nausious afterwards

2000m Row
100 Pushups
---------------------
12:32

Monday:

Man did I ever feel run down from Christmas! Felt like garbage when I woke up and continued throughout the day. I took an afternoon nap and made myself go to the gym once i woke up. I felt ok when I was there, but now I'm feeling it again this morning. Anyway, Monday I did the following. I just made this up based on how I felt

5x7 Front Squat: 145, 165, 175, 185, 190

120m Overhead Walking Lunges (35lb plate)

Then moved to:
Box Jumps 5-10-15-20-25
Double Unders: 25-20-15-10-5

 

x2

There is a CF gym down the street from my house and I've strongly been considering joining. Im going to as long as it doesnt cost a retarded amount of money

 

I started crossfit yesterday. My legs are killing me today! I also found out how much it costs...$100 a month for 3 times a week

Im gonna finish this month at the CF gym and probably take what ive learned and join a normal gym ($10 a month)
