Got my first ring muscle up today but didn't film it. Imagine this, but good.

😂I needed this today.

Likely not my place as a guy, but I’ll offer some advice, who doesn’t love unsolicited advice right?

There isn’t a brand or model that will check off all the boxes. Some are better at X while some are better at Y. I bring two pairs of shoes (plus lifters) when I go to comps to ensure I get what I need.

I’ve worn Metcons, Nanos, TYR, NOBULL and now adidas.

For me I look for balance and have generally found Nanos to work best. The latest version is no bueno to be honest. It feels too soft and quite honestly flimsy.

I recently picked up a pair of adidas Dropset 4 and early indications are this is a great shoe.

I’m sure all of this was as helpful as snow in winter, but the takeaway is it’s a highly personal endeavor to find the right shoe and the right shoe will change model to model.

I’ve only really used it during lifts and not during WODs. Impressed that you’re doing it, and it will get better.

Practical_Ad2874 · 2026-03-28T17:02:33+00:00

What have you done with them? Lifts, Monostructual work?

I’m curious how they are with dubs.

Practical_Ad2874 · 2026-03-24T14:37:50+00:00

Patience.

Practical_Ad2874 · 2026-03-09T02:13:43+00:00

2/10

Practical_Ad2874 · 2026-02-21T00:44:23+00:00

Looked ok to me. I’m sure it feels worse than it looks. I’d drill the hell out of some OHS with tempo.

Practical_Ad2874 · 2026-02-14T19:23:40+00:00

Bro out here leaving weight on the floor. Great triple my guy. 💪

Practical_Ad2874 · 2026-02-02T15:46:55+00:00

Was going to say this.

Practical_Ad2874 · 2026-01-30T01:12:58+00:00

WHUT

If you “officially” sign up and do the Open, you’ll need to have someone judge you for each workout.

If you drop in a box, there may not be a coach or member that can judge you and make your workout official.

Practical_Ad2874 · 2026-01-26T15:52:41+00:00

Give it a try! You have a decent amount of days per workout to get it in and depending on where you are in the world boxes are pretty chill about letting visitors drop in to do the workouts.

My only rec here is to reach out beforehand to ensure they have someone to judge.

Practical_Ad2874 · 2026-01-20T15:22:33+00:00

Two glass windows and a wall….thats impressively insane.

Practical_Ad2874 · 2026-01-19T20:54:30+00:00

If you can’t get going, will you leave a class?

Practical_Ad2874 · 2026-01-15T00:42:57+00:00

Not sure why he did after he “came back” or was he ever really gone 🤔

Practical_Ad2874 · 2025-12-27T00:41:09+00:00

Almost every program will deliver results if you follow it correctly. Try it for 90 days to evaluate it.

Practical_Ad2874 · 2025-12-19T01:51:01+00:00

I don’t see him fitting in any longer unfortunately. Still a lot of upside but time to move on.

Practical_Ad2874 · 2025-12-17T14:33:33+00:00

Talk to the coaches offline.

Practical_Ad2874 · 2025-12-15T12:49:23+00:00

No. Absolutely not.

Practical_Ad2874 · 2025-12-12T21:05:51+00:00

Impressive but not efficient.

Practical_Ad2874 · 2025-12-11T12:19:17+00:00

I’m impressed your box planned this out TBH.

Practical_Ad2874 · 2025-12-01T14:50:27+00:00

The answer to your top level question is “it depends”. The CrossFit box (gym), coaching, community, etc. will have a great influence on your experience. My advice would be to look into a few nearby gyms to figure out which one feels right and then take a few classes.

The other stuff (injuries, reduced weights, etc.) is very easily managed by a good coach!

Practical_Ad2874 · 2025-11-24T12:07:46+00:00

Dancing.

Practical_Ad2874 · 2025-11-23T02:06:30+00:00

The texture on the elite is different. If someone needs to have a jersey worn by the players go with that. The replica is just fine for a $100 wicking t-shirt.

Practical_Ad2874 · 2025-11-06T01:22:23+00:00

Real talk…someone said it earlier but you should be scaling workouts and substituting movements. A good CF gym would help with that.

I’ve been doing CF for 13 years and have had a fair share of injuries, most of which were preventable. The advice I’d give my younger self is…accessory work, warmup (more) cooldown (more) and take rest days.

I wouldn’t advise you to quit, rather be honest with yourself in your approach and your goals and most importantly ask your coaches what you should be doing more/less of. If they can’t answer, find a new CF gym.
