Lower Back injury
Back in February I injured my lower back in a WOD that included deadlifts, hang snatch and front squats. I think I strained my left QL. I went to a chiropractor and that improved my situation...

Re: Lack of Motivation
Jeff,
I had a similar problem when I first started. Feet and knees were terribly inflamed due to shoes with to much of a heel. Had to take a couple of weeks off and go see a Dr. WOD'd for...

Re: ankle mobility help needed
Try the rebuilding the feet series...especially this one. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4h8uxhXhozY
You might also try some minimalist shoes.

Re: Wife worried about Rhabdomyolysis
Be careful on GHD's. It's really easy to over train and get rhabdo with GHD's. Start out with 3 reps and go up by 1 each week. You can do several sets, but don't over do it. Drink LOTS of water.

Re: Reasonable amount of progress 4.5 months in?

Re: Pull Ups, when is it time to start kipping?!
At our box, we just went straight to kipping pull-ups, but I think it might have been a good idea to just start with strict, with bands if you need them. Recently I started working on my strict...

Re: Intensity Question
Honestly, it might have more to do with ego. I used to workout like a bodybuilder where weight was king. Now it's not. Endurance has always been a week point for me, so it would only make sense do...

Re: Intensity Question
Well, he did say he wanted 'to see me more.' I'll get clarification. My back was out of alignment, and I think its been that way for years. That's not to say that I couldn't or shouldn't go...

Re: Not Quite Getting It
Obviously we're not going to workout 4 times a day unless our name is Rich Froning, but we've got to commit to it....got to include nutrition and mobility.

Re: Not Quite Getting It
Are you kidding me? Crossfit - and any fitness regimen for that matter - is not a 20 min routine. It is a 24 hour a day, 7 day a week commitment if you want results. You're not going to find the...

Re: Crossfit Shoes
I've got the New Balance MT 20's I think. First 2 - 3 weeks my legs (shins, knee's and feet) were killing me. Was going to quit Crossfit altogether, but first I went to a foot and ankle Dr. He...

Re: Overhead Squat on Smith Machine?
I would say no. I used to do back squats on a smith machine, and could do over 400lbs 6x. Switched to regular squats and could do only about half that. Not to mention that my back was absolutely...

As far as the front rack is concerned....He's talked about hands being wider than your shoulders, and even wider for some of the other exercises. Hands loose, and kind of changing the grip if your...
