Re: Ice bath/cold soak - to do, or not to do?
I don't know or tend to care about the science behind any of it - nothing about what I'm doing necessitates the need. I don't get paid to do any of this.

Re: CrossFit Games Amateur division
True, but I could also wake up tomorrow morning, put an add in the paper to give lessons, and as soon as I receive money for doing so, I'm a pro. Same could be said if I enter a tournament as a...

Re: Sports specific golf exercises
Check out sites like mytpi.com for ideas. WFS
Like the throwers, you need a stable core and a flexible spine. Shoulder health and upper back health/mobility is huge. Being explosive never hurt. So...

Re: Why 135lbs / 95lbs
Which came first?
The weight or the ratio ?
I'm going for the weight (egg). As it had to exist before someone reverse engineered (evolved) the ratio (chicken).

Re: diy wooden squat rack with pull up bar
No idea about strength. I had built my own wooden power rack. It worked like a champ - had up to 365# in it for working sets and it didn't even budge. I could do pullups in it too (weight 100-110kg)....

Re: Floor issue
Can't tell you how many gyms I've visited and/or been a member of that do not have level floors. Never really an issue once you're aware.
They'll often have a dedicated lifting platform (8x8 or 6x8...

Re: Concept 2 Rower or Ski Erg
I've had a c2 rower for 10+ years (before crossfit). If I were to do it all over again, knowing what I know now, I'd get an airdyne. But you already have one. So, I'd suggest the rower - it's an...

Re: The always slow class
Probably tons of options. Here's the options I can think of:
- Kill it
- Turn it into Open Gym

Re: What do you think of these lifting shoes
I had them a few years ago in golf shoes. I was kind of meh. It's a novelty. There were times, much like what Mark said, where the adjustment wasn't there. I also found that sometimes they mechanism...
