    Considering Crossfit

    After going from CF to weightlifting, it's the days where you still have 5s at 75/80% after snatch complexes that are the worst. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

    Considering Crossfit

    Not to hijack the thread but have they ever looked at any actual weightlifting programming because that's hysterical. The backsquat is programmed equally or more than front squats for the vast majority of weightlifters. Like you said in the part I cut out the back squat is the king of compound...

    Considering Crossfit

    I was skeptical after coming from a powerlifting/bodybuilding style workout background where my training was planned out for about 3 months at a time, but I decided to give it a try after I moved to Idaho. I got lucky in that I found a gym where the owners/coaches thought like I did with regards...

    Weight Loss Plateaus

    The place you're going is intensely ignorant and I was legitimately horrified reading your post. Unless 1500 calories was a typo in which case they're still ignorant just not criminally so.

    Opinions on leg traing, please.

    Learning to squat properly, and train properly, gives you a base foundation to make the hunting and hiking easier. There's no good reason to neglect it.

    Thinking of joining a Crossfit Box/Gym-What should I look for?

    Okay I'm home and on cold medicine so hang with me if this rambles or gets disjointed. Talk to the coaches and make sure they have a proper attitude about beginners and aren't just going to throw you in on your own. Check the programming. Make sure there's a good mix of strength work and...

    It's the open, it's supposed to be a pointless workout. Just like any CrossFit competition workout. None of them are designed to make you a better athlete.

    Weight..

    Check out Starting Strength (pay attention to "GOMAD is not for everybody" and the nutrition section by Jordan Feigenbaum, or "Starting Strength and Military), Catalyst Athletics or the other olympic weightlifting sites where strength is a value but bodyweight must be maintained for weight...

    Weight..

    "Getting big" has way more to do with how you eat than how you train. There are 170lb weightlifters that squat 400+ pounds. You didn't say what lifts your set/rep/weight scheme was for. If it's any of the compound lifts it's probably a time waster. You'll get more out of squats/presses(overhead...

    Need input on training routine ???????

    This is a lot to reply to because there's so much going on. What are your weights like on the bug 3 lifts? You could drop the dumbbell shoulder work and start overhead pressing with a barbell to truly make your shoulders strong. Do you add weight to the compound lifts at any point? Cutting back...

    Crossfit specific shoes

    I have New Balance Minimus cross trainers that I throw on for accessory work and conditioning after my oly workouts. They've served me well and don't generally break the bank.

    Building strength WITHOUT gaining size?

    Stick to the 3-5 rep range, don't eat as much, and skip GOMAD.

    Strengths vs. Weaknesses

    Interesting. I'm in the ballpark for most of those except the accessory type lifts. I honestly can't remember the last time I did anything besides dumbbell curls.

    Workout Routine: Am I on the right track?

    The problem with this line of thinking is you aren't really testing this program until you're on the mountain at 12,000 feet. That's a bad time to find out you were prepping improperly. Listen to the guys who have BTDT.

    The clean is often performed by itself in training, and crossfit also uses the term "squat snatch" which is also redundant.
