Re: CrossFit Games Qualifier Observations
I second this. I would think it's entirely possible for one person in a group of organizers to help with the planning without knowing the exact WODs come game day. It would be possible for the entire...

Re: CrossFit College Students
Shane -
It's too bad we're a year apart, I was at AUC last spring, we could've hit some WODs together! I don't know if you are staying in the Zamalek dorms, but their tiny gym actually has bumper...

I'm certainly no expert, so take this with a grain of salt. That said, the biggest things I noticed were:
Good: you seem to be getting decent triple extension, maybe needs more of a shrug at the...

Re: How can you guys do it?
I've heard it said at my Level 1 cert that having one cheat day per week, or 3 cheat meals per week, is still considered doing "strict" zone.
But that is after being 100% strict for the first...

Re: First time Fran and Thrusters
I'd say, don't overthink it. Especially with a short, brutal workout like Fran, I don't think having a "plan of attack" is that useful. Just go at it. Drop the bar when you absolutely have to, take...

Re: Attempting to Qualify to CF Games 2009
I'm very aware it's a huge long shot for me to qualify, I'm probably not up to par yet, but I figure I might as well go for it. At the least I'll get a jump on training for 2010, and I'll have fun at...

Re: A worse time then before.
If you're doing more weight on the thrusters, I'd say that's a PR compared to your last attempt no matter the time, because you're closer to doing it as RX'd. Your times are going to be thrown off if...

Re: No Zone-No Paleo-No Problem for Mike Phelps
I suspect that his 7 hour training days have a lot to do with what and how much he eats. He is just expending so much energy per day, way more than athletes in most other sports. If he was on the...

Re: Top t-shirt ideas
This one doesn't exist but I always thought a good one would be:
"Crossfit: Fit for Life"
2 meanings, i.e. lifelong fitness and fit for whatever life throws at you
Just a thought.

Re: CFT Meet in Sacramento
I'm from Sacramento, but won't be there for the meet. Is BodyTribe a Crossfit affiliate, or just a similar type of thing? I usually train at Crossfit Sacramento, at Fourth Power Fitness.

Re: New in Northern New York
Again, I would say the best way to make sure you're hitting every aspect of your fitness equally would be to follow the daily WOD, scaled to whatever degree necessary and as far behind as you like. I...

Re: Warm-ups

I think it's much easier/better/more efficient to do a few sets of a warmup with a smaller...
