to row or not to row ...that is the question Member 1963, 811 posts SQ 202.5, BP 140, DL 265607.5 kgs @ 90kgs UnEq | They mentioned that 1 active duty soldier commits suicide every day and 1 former soldier every 80 minutes. That's a terrible loss of human life and I have a lot of respect for the coaches involved in this and the athletes and individuals themselves and the good they do if it helps in some way. Takes a lot of guts to pick yourself and get on with life and irregardless of what people what people think of Crossfit, this sort of thing can only be good! | ||

has spent time in a modern educational setting Member 47, 1221 posts | Post Edited: 08.01.2013 @ 02:40 AM by Pete Sparrow said: I quite like Crossfit Move to Australia then. Crossfit is huge here too. Edit: To provide an idea of how 'huge' it is, I know that there are at least 11 Crossfit gyms/boxes within 10 (or so) miles of where I live. 2nd edit: I've watched some of the video now - very inspirational. | ||

a PB is a PB ! Member 539, 1086 posts | Post Edited: 08.01.2013 @ 07:08 AM by goodwinm I liked that video. Have dabbled with crossfit before and loved it. I just never kept up with it. I remember doing Fran something or other and it was immense. I finished it but took about 30 odd minutes. Here it is. http://m.mensfitness.com/training/endurance/crossfit-wod-fran | ||

never too old Member 637, 760 posts | I dont get the issue with Crossfit? other than the coaches thinking the invented olympic lifting and the use of events as a form of cardio/conditioing. and the fact they never f**king shut up with the "i do crossfit" BS! | ||

Member 3177, 35 posts SQ 170, BP 110, DL 190470.0 kgs @ 77kgs UnEq | that video is pretty motivational, could you just do a wod once a week as conditioning work whilst continuing your normal training | ||

People have been conditioning like that for decades! The wods stop you having to think one up for yourself | ||
