Not true. We do both strict and kipping at my gym. The whole point of kipping

I stand corrected. Both of my friends that do Crossfit can't do a standard pull

Tuskaloosa Cougar

Yeah, and I completely believe you.

You mean kipping helps speed up labrum tears, impingement, osteoarthritis,

CarolinaCoug

I get it, I do. The point of kipping is to knock out dozens of reps in a short

It's great for ruining your shoulders

Noticed that right away actually as someone with a bad shoulder

CarolinaCoug

7/20/17 6:24am

Even better for engaging lower back on lifts

RedlandsCoug

I already have bad shoulders, so crossfit sounds like a bad fit.

If you were pretty out of shape though..ANY program

CarolinaCoug

7/20/17 6:28am

Mostly I need a program, some peer pressure and a bit of competition.

RugbyCoug

Is there no one in your ward, neighborhood,work,or on cb you can

Don't waste your money. You'll be spending 120/month

Alister Mackenzie

I know what to do (fitness related), but struggle with the motivation and commitment. I have $120/month to waste.

OT is great. I highly recommend it over Cross fit

VegasCoug

7/20/17 7:54am

OTF is an absolute waste of time and Crossfit is deceiving.

TheLoneCougar

7/20/17 7:56am

I absolutely hate cardio, so I use OT do my cardio

VegasCoug

My dislike of OTF is that the results are difficult to see unless you are very

Understanding this sequence is not my problem. Doing it is my problem. I need to feel accountable through competition or

RugbyCoug

Hmm, well if you are here in the DFW area I could use a partner too!

TheLoneCougar

Yup. Exactly my thoughts.

That guy has some legitimate info. I love his videos on technique.

kotacoug

7/20/17 8:47am

He really does know his stuff but I couldn't take his excessive saliva/Lou Holtz speaking

Zach Morris

7/20/17 9:02am

Haha! Good info though.

kotacoug

7/20/17 9:07am

Jeff Cavaliere, the guy behind athleanX is ridiculously knowledgeable and informative.

Zach Morris

7/20/17 9:11am

I'm not trying to stir anything up, but I generally spend roughly 75 minutes

TheLoneCougar

7/20/17 9:20am

The average working adult doesn't have the time of the desire to spend 75 minutes on one

Zach Morris

7/20/17 9:22am

Well,it's also for pro athletes. Jeff is a pro athlete trainer.

CarolinaCoug

7/20/17 1:00pm

You aren't stirring g anything up. JEFF wouldn't balk at a 75 minute workout

CarolinaCoug

7/20/17 12:56pm

No..he is doing it for a purpose and to demonstrate spmething
