    He stood there for almost 10 seconds before he pressed anything... I don't need to post shit for you... Because I do it right... Almost anyone will tell you, that if you have to stop before pressing, that's too much weight. It's supposed to be all one motion. Not lift, hold, decide if you can press or not, then press....................................
     
     
    Are you missing something? Or are you just butt-hurt?

    Oh it's the douche bag who doesn't let anyone see or comment on his profile. Of course. Can't let anyone comment so he doesn't get butt hurt.
     
  3. Watch The Olympics. Tell me klokov does it in one movement. You have no idea what you're talking about.
     
  4. It's not a press it's a jerk. Learn to oly lift before you critic people
     
  5. Your resistance makes my penis hard.
     
  6. Can I touch it?

    Just hit 190 today.

    Here's your "in one motion" lift. It's called a snatch and that was a 5 pound pr. 205 is close

    You can seriously injure yourself doing any form of physical activity, especially when that is moving large weights. No one encourages poor form in crossfit, and in my experience you'll be stopped immediately if you're doing something wrong. If left to yourself in a regular gym, chances are there wont be anyone except other patrons who might give you unqualified advice. So the chances of injury doing your own workout unsupervised are probably much higher. And squats, deadlifts, bench, farmers walk, etc. are all things you'll encounter in a crossfit gym. It doesn't really sound like what you're doing is anything out of the ordinary.

    14.1 wooo it's gonna be a burner. I think that weight is gonna be sneaky and those double unders are gonna be hard to go unbroken after the first couple rounds but I feel like 6 rounds is doable or 5 and change... i think I'm gonna do it tomorrow. How do you guys feel about it?
     
  16. 14.1 in the books 255 reps... not bad. The weight caught me like I thought it would
     
  17. i think it's great, i need to get back into it
     
  18. 14.2 looks good. I think it'll be a struggle but right now i feel confident I can finish 3 rounds. Definitely 2 and close to 3... that 14# will be a bitch
     
  19. In my experience crossfit is great for making u better at crossfit but not much else. Because theres not a structured program you see a lot of initial gains but eventually begin to plateau and the gains slow down significantly. Its the reason the pros who do the crossfit games dont actually follow the wod online. Its great for staying in general shape but if u have a specific goal such as bulking up or getting stronger then youll probably do a lot better with a personal trainer
     
  20. It's definitely not for body building. You won't get big doing crossfit for sure but you will get a hell of a lot stronger. It may take longer than just going to the gym though and squatting you are right there. I'm in it for the long haul though so if it takes me 10 years to get up to a 350 or 400 back squat so be it. That's just me and my personal goals though it's not right for everyone.

    That being said at my gym we do a strength program before we do the wod. A lot of boxes are starting to do that now. You never really plateau if you just wod but like you said you'll just get good a crossfit haha and that's cool but I'd rather have a healthy mix of both.
