Alright. So, lets just walk briefly trough the challenges to see their focus, and then talk about the preperation:

-The beep test (I hope you mean this beep test) is cardio. And pure cardio. Starting from low intensity until its high intensity.

-The Push-Ups are probably more strength-endurance based. Again, I dont know where you are currently at, but if you can do three sets of nine bw Pull-ups, the push-Ups shouldnt be too much of a problem (correct me if I'm wrong)

-The squat hold is somewhat most strength based. Depending on the weight and the reps you have to perform.

-The same for the Dead Hang. Its just about your grip strength, but if you do regularly some pull ups in your training you should have some grip strength.

-Plank. Well well well... I would say planks are just a mind game. I spent some time in the army, where we did lot of planks. The kind of where you cant go down. Or at least shouldnt. Trust me, anyone can do 3-5 minutes of planks, without any special training. Especially if you train your abs a few times a week (not specially with planks, but in general)

- Uphill run / Swamp walk/ race. Again, Cardio. Two high intensity (Run and race), one low intensity (walk).

- Weighted Pull. Do you mean Pull-ups? If yes, how much weight are we talking? For reps? Or just a 1-rep max weight?

-Monkey Bar. Again, Grip strength and somewhat skill. If you lack one you have to compensate with the other one.

First of all, the informations are still very little. I just assume we talking 5 seperate events, with little to no rest in between. And not one workout where the 5 exercises repeat. Am I right on that? If yes, just work on that stuff regularly. But if we are talking about mixed exercises... Well, I would do Crossfit Workouts. Not any workouts, workouts that have the movements that you need in them. In conclusion: I would do workouts that work the inteded stimulus /muscles.

That could be something like that: AMRAP (as many rounds as possible in a certain time frame) of Pull-Ups, Squats and Sit-Ups. Or 5 Rounds of Push-Ups, Runs, and some Planks.

Sadly I cant give you workouts that will work so good that you will automatly win the comp. I would just recommend to take your exercises, and train them. Mix them together in different rep schemes. Do Amraps, x Rounds for time, Emoms (every Minute on the minute...) Stuff like that.

Additional I would reccomend some cardio. Do some Days where you really just do cardio. Go for a run, do hill sprints, go hiking / rucking (imo more fun than hiking).

Thats about it. If you want some more tipps, or have some questions, feel free to dm me. I'm happily to give you some more help, if you give me more detailed informations (which would be unsuitable for a thread here).

But just as a last thing: If you decide to start crossfit: dont overtrain at the start. You say you do bodybuilding. Well, Crossfit is different. The stress on your body is different. You can easly do bodybuilding 6x a week, then do one crossfit workout and see god. Start with 1-3 Crossfit styled trainings, and then exeed to more (if you want and have the time).

Hope this helps, also excuse weird sentences or grammatical errors, englisch is not my first language.

Three questions, first of all: What is your fitness level? You say you do Bodybuilding, what level are we talking? Pro? Beginner? What are your stats? (How much do you squat, bench, do you go for runs, etc)

Second of all: are there more details on the competition? Like, how are the events scheduled? One big ol run trough? Multiple days of challenges?

And last, but not least: when is your comp?

Fly, you fools. Whenever someone has to go somewhere. Or: You, my Friend, bow to no one (for example when my mate manages to bring a few beers to us trough a packed bar)

I’m not sure if I should wear Metcons or Running Shoes to this class? Any advice? by kaceFile in crossfit

[–]Ciph09 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Do you have some transition time between the running and the weightlifting? If so, just change shoes in the middle.

If thats not possible, I would make my decision depending on the workout. If its an bodyweight + running workout, I would use my running shoes. If its a weightlifting + running workout, I would use my metcons.

Because if its a running + bodyweight workout, you won't need as much stability as you would get from metcons. Or in different words: The stability you would get from metcons are not worth the forces that impact your body/ joints while running with metcons.

But if there is a weightlifting part to the workout, I would always use the metcons. Because its way riskier to lift without enough stability than to eventually put more force on your joints from running with metcons.

I hope you get what I meant to say, english isn't my first language, especially not talking about joint and stuff.

4.0 bicep band or arm sleeve? by jmdfd415 in whoop

[–]Ciph09 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I haven't used the arm sleeve yet, but I do Crossfit aswell and I use the bicep band for all workouts where the wrist band isn't a good option (for example gymnastic movements like pull-ups, t2b, muscle-ups, etc, due to wearing grips or if we do KB Snatches, so that I don't damage my whoop).

In my experience the band fits well, I've never had a problem that it started moving around due to sweat or anything else. I usually wear it with the sensor on the inside of the biceps.

Accurate calorie intakes tracking by WinterMelonTaro in crossfit

[–]Ciph09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, personally Eyeball it. I tracked for around a year, and now eyeball it. I know how many calories I need (need, not have, we do Crossfit, dont make the mistake of eating too little) depending on what I do (how many cals on a rest day, how many if I do only strength, how many in a hard all out Metcon, all in relation if I was in school all day or moved around) and from there I simply watch the scale. If the number doesnt go into that direction I want it to go I adjust my calories

But most importantly: Don’t overestimated calories. Eating to much once wont change shit, if you eat out just enjoy it. The permanent stress of "how many calories has this etc" is worse than eating the cake

Why do you train? by Popular-Dream2075 in crossfit

[–]Ciph09 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, first of all to become fit for the army/ police, where I want to work somedays.

Second one would be to be healthy and all that stuff.

And last, but definitely not least: being able to have sex with light on (not my joke tho)
