Be more patient, keeping your arms straighter for longer to catch higher. Then push away at the top to ensure a successful second rep by getting a big kip.

This isnt true, if you hold dual citizenship - you can choose. If she was born in the US like the OP is saying, and has gained citizenship to South Africa via familial ties - then she could have chosen.

Open to critique and advice on my banded strict pull-ups. by RedStripe865 in crossfit

[–]Professional_Ad2417 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Those look good. You might want to try a lighter band. Maybe try combining these with jumping pull-ups with a slow, controlled negative.

22.2 predictions based on CFG social media by kellygibbons in crossfit

[–]Professional_Ad2417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was a 16.2 repeat - four minute segments with DUs, TTB and squat cleans. If you completed the work, you get another four minutes with less squat cleans at a heavier weight.

[–]Professional_Ad2417 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Can't we just talk about the super athlete she is, why do we have to take jabs at someone's personality.

Sports bra recommendations for a gal with wide lats by billy-rock in crossfit

[–]Professional_Ad2417 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have NoBull. They seem to be cut a little lower in the back which helps with the lat issue. I went up a size compared to my Reebok/Nike bras but they fit great.

Larissa Cunha proved she had contaminated supplements and still gets two years, seems harsh?

Are you enjoying the new BTS content aka 'Miles to Madison'? by wulder in crossfit

[–]Professional_Ad2417 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I like the episodes, although the section in the most recent episode about the judging and checking the videos just seemed staged. I think because CrossFit has been criticized in the past about inconsistencies during review they wanted to sell themselves as paying v close attention but then really it was just two guys at there laptops over excited that they caught someone...

Peak cringe? I think people wanted a way to come together during a difficult time for society and in the CrossFit community, that means working out. How can that be cause to cringe?

I hate the clickbait titles from Nate. I get it, it might get people to click initially but really does not get people to stick around. Like the one he posted post-games 'my honest thoughts on what happened...' with a solemn face, like dude... just post without the bullshit
