    Strength Weight Training: Anything and Everything II

    I don't run anymore. If we have running as part of our workout at CrossFit I always hop on the assault bike instead. I also don't do box jumps anymore (unless it's a comp and I have to). I just step up and down. Double unders are the next thing to go next, as much as I love them.

    A major comp less than 2 weeks away and I've come down with covid for the 2nd time.

    Cheers. I've heard about the kneesovertoes guy and been meaning to look into it. Been having a bit of patella tendon pain lately.

    How do you find Pilates? Thinking of going a couple of times a week to work on flexibility and mobility.

    Diet, Supplements and Enhancers

    There is an Australian Sports Nutrition shop in my local shopping centre. I go in there and browse occasionally but I agree with the sentiments that you don't really need that much. I use protein powder, creatine, a magnesium supplement and a greens powder in my protein smoothie each day. That's it.

    Pull ups are easier. Especially kipping ones.

    Strength Weight Training: Anything and Everything II

    Uh yeah. That's why it's called CrossFit. It's a measure of your fitness over a range of areas. If you're a good runner but not a lifter then no you're not going to win the CrossFit Games. And as for height it evens itself out over the events. As a short-statured person I especially struggle...

    A mate of mine has a companion dog for his PTSD after being in East Timor. It goes with him everywhere.

    One of my mates missed going to the games by one place. They take the top 3. He finished 4th and was 2nd going into the last event.

    Did Murph again on the weekend except that I did 120 cal on the air dyne instead of the mile run.

    Help! Severe Muscle Cramps when playing footy

    I had a massive one in my quad/upper thigh area yesterday afternoon while doing sandbag carries. I think it was probably because it was the first time in a week I had trained so I possibly overdid it a bit.

    Strength Weight Training: Anything and Everything II

    I tried getting up to go to the 5:30 session of CrossFit a couple of years ago. I did it for 6 weeks but it was always a chore getting up that early. Also, if I worked out in the morning I felt tired at work during the day. I find 5:30pm much easier to go to plus it helps gives me a good night's...

    Injury/Rehab Injury/Niggle Management - w/ cptkirk

    I tore my calf muscle a few years ago which I think is the cause of the tightness. Not really sure what you mean by addressing it. I've been to the physio and had work done on it as well as the stretching that he told me to do.

    Injury/Rehab Injury/Niggle Management - w/ cptkirk

    Mine disappeared with lots of stretching exercises and rolling a golf ball under the heel. I'm a bit wary about overusing my foot and it reoccuring so I opt to use the air bike rather than running when it is programmed at CrossFit. Plus the air bike is much better for knees than running. I also...

    Strength Irritating people/things that annoy you in the gym III

    This is more outside the gym but it annoys me when someone says, "I haven't got time to go to the gym". Firstly it usually just comes off as a lame excuse by most people. I'm sure that there are some people for who it is true but usually not the ones who say it. Secondly, it seems almost...
