Re: What Ax To Get?
I've got a Fiskars. It is well balanced, light and cuts through thick trees easily and quickly. It is the most fun to use tool that I own.

Re: Thruster Advice Requested
Are you paying to use this place? Consider investing in your own equipment, a little at a time, and eventually you can stop paying dues to just be frustrated when you can't even do what you want.

Re: Dead Lift Grip
Hook grip takes some getting used to, but it is worth it for me for the fact that with the mixed grip it can be hard to keep the torso and hips aligned. I suffered some pretty severe hip trauma while...

Pronounce Tabata?
I think the title kind of says it all. I have heard several pronunciations and am wondering what is the correct way to say Tabata.

Re: From 0-10 pull-ups by July, how?
Not enough information. I see a male with 0 pull-ups and I see a pretty serious deficit as far as general fitness. Is he quite heavy? If so he needs to cut as much weight as he safely can. I might...

Re: Critique My MEBB Plan
Another idea is to rotate 4 times through with the sets of 5, then 4 times through on the singles plan. I wouldn't worry about heavy deads and squats in the same cycle until it becomes an issue. Try...

Re: 400m time guidelines
I don't think putting 2 minutes as untrained is unfair. It's just a category. If you don't like being in that category work hard and move up. Plenty of people who have not trained in a long time...

Re: Do you have a crossfit related blog?
I keep a training log at usefulstrength.blogspot.com. Pretty dry stuff though. Can't imagine anybody coming back twice.

Where to get a decent kukri?
I'm looking to get a kukri to clear brush with. I got this really crappy machete and it is not holding up well, so I wanted to get something with a little thicker blade. I am looking for a working...

Re: Mats for garage gym
The Target mats are way overpriced for what you get and are not the solution you are after. Get horse stall mats from a Quality Farm and Fleet, Rural King or whatever type of feed store is near you....

Re: pullup question
Until you have the right equipment and the skill dialed in you will just have to do deadhangs. The amount of work being done is the same in both, it just gets done in a different manner. I did a LOT...

Brandon et al, I would argue that since Rx'd is evidently no negative based on videos, that is valid. The reason I do the negative on my singles is because I know that eventually to keep improving my...

Re: 30 muscle-ups: significant PR
Valid (if somewhat obvious) point about the decreasing rest. Yesterday each rep was taking about 5-6 seconds until they started getting hard at about rep 22. As I say, when I can get one every 10...
