Re: Home gym suggestions
How about a rope? You can use it for battle rope exercises, or attach it to your sled for seated or standing sled pulls.

Re: Crossfit Open 2016
I think disqualifying the whole team is an overly harsh penalty for one person refusing to take a drug test. Then again, Laura Phelps-Sweatt is the affiliate manager, so her actions are going to...

Re: Looking for shoe input and suggestions
I have Nano 5 and Nano 2. I like the 5s much better. The Nano 5 has a really thin tongue, but the tongue is secured to the sides of the shoe. This gives it a lot of lateral stability.

Re: Crossfit Open 2016
It is interesting to compare Becca Voigt's finishes in the Regional with Dan Bailey's:
Becca: 8-6-9-5-5-1-10 = 542 points, 2nd place
Dan: 8-6-10-7-2-9-9 = 519 points, 7th place

Re: Crossfit Open 2016
Lots of awesome stuff during the first week of Regionals.
Kara Webb absolutely crushed the workouts. Hopefully this will be a good year for her at the Games.
Tia-Clair Toomey and Alethea Boon...

Re: A Bears Tale
I am thinking of switching to Comp Train Masters. 36th this year and 40th last year. Just need to be a little bit better to make it.

The problem with the Stub Hub Center is that the Tennis Stadium is too small for the marquee events, and the soccer stadium is too huge.
I think they could move the Games to a venue that has an...

That may be true about the OHS. The transition from front rack to back rack can be a bit dicey. When I do heavy OHS from the ground, I'll just power clean, and then jerk from the front rack and go...

The pattern, if any, for the MQ looks to me like a 1rm of an Olympic lift variation, a short,...

Re: Crossfit Open 2016
My guess for 16.5 is a 10min amrap of
5 ring muscle ups
10 thrusters 95-115-135-165-185-225
15 box jump overs
Each round the thrusters increase in weight. Scaled version will not have...

Re: Crossfit Open 2016
If there is going to be a repeat workout this year, it is going to repeat one of the movements we've already seen.
I still think 14.5 (thrusters and burpees) and 15.5 (thrusters and rowing) are...

Re: Crossfit Open 2016
My predictions for 16.4 and 16.5 are:
16.4: A chipper with WB, DL, BJ and HSPU. After introducing HSPU in the Open last year, and using them so heavily in the Regionals and Games, I think...

My thoughts on 16.3:
I don't think Castro's clues of the shotgun or the abstract painting had anything to do with the workout. It seems to me like he just really likes to have fun dropping...

Re: Crossfit Open 2016
The "Double Jackie" we had in the 2015 Masters Qualifier was a brutal workout:
2 rounds for time of:
1,000-meter row
50 thrusters
30 chest-to-bar pull-ups
Men use 65 lb.
Women use 45 lb.

Re: Crossfit Open 2016
I saw Castro's instagram post about penalizing Opex for using small metal plates to make bar-facing burpees easier.
I agree with the penalty. It was definitely done to make the burpees easier.
