Indeed the article is
Why do you think CrossFit is retarded, out of curiosity? Always interested to hear what someone with genuine knowledge of fitness and training thinks

The coaches let people train with bad technique and let them get away with it, resulting in injuries. Do whatever you want in the gym but do it right.

Some coaches. Bad coaches. I have always been told tekkers are key before weight and to get shit down before I start going heavy. And when you do start going heavy I am watched like a hawk and told when I need to stop and scale back a little, to ensure I don't fuck myself up.

But then I know other s who have had some really bad injuries because of it. But then I know some people who have had really bad injuries playing football and running...

clean & jerk pr today, 125kg
smoked 95kg on snatch prior to that

[Don Carlos]

Nice! I am starting to lose the fear with getting under the bar...I smashed a 70kg clean the other day and got under the bar well. My coach thinks I have another 20kg in me easily, which was nice to hear. Gonna start going heavier soon to work the tekkers.

Sam Briggs to win the CFG - I trained with her ages ago and will be training with her again soon #030

[LawL]

Too bad you've never lifted a weight in your life puny dipshit.

Came in today:



super stable... more base than my adipowers, really nice shoe.
wore them today and snatched 98, cj'ed 115 and mondays are usually my worst days lol

[feedback]

Don't know why 245 bench for 5 gives me so much trouble when I can do 235 for 3x5 :/

[andyman]

because it's heavier...

what is your 1rm?

[scared?]

320...

[feedback]

[LawL]

88%.... you should be good for 3-4 reps, 5 would definitely be a struggle

[feedback]

Yup the 5th one is the struggle

[Tsakali]

it's interesting that such small weight difference changes the rules like that. Is there a satisfactory explanation for this? It feels that the weight to repetition ratio should be more linear, or am I a moron?

[scared?]

^^^clueless weirdo...

[andyman]

a smooth 5-rep range is usually around 80-85% of your 1rm. It would be easy to say that since he can do 5 reps with almost 90% of his posted 1rm, his projected 1rm would be higher, but actually lifting a new 1rm vs hitting a hard set of 5 is completely different. I think feedback should test a new 1rm when he feels like he can get one to get some new percentages.

example: my best push press is 107kg, and my best set of 3reps was 95kg (89%), best set of 5reps was 90kg (84%). of course those sets were at the end of workouts, but you get the idea. haven't tested a 1rm in a long time.



so all in all, I bet feedback could PR his benchpress if he tried.

edit: tsakali there isn't a strict set of mathematical rules for what you can lift.... everyone is different and everyday is different. what feels impossible one day may feel easy another day and vice-versa.
