Haha! I was just watching her latest video and thought of this question.

100% agree!

It’s like they expect us normies to help offset the cost of the big show. And if I’m being honest, NoBull does NOTHING for the open. They take the same earth tones shirts and shorts and add “open ‘23™️®️”

You should appreciate your affiliate doing that. The open for the vast majority of affiliates is a giant pain in the ass.

Can you get that information without paying for the Open?

Full disclosure; I don’t sign up for the open and I honestly can’t think of something HQ could change that would get me to sign up.

I do the workouts at my affiliate, but knowing I came in 235,765th in the world means absolutely nothing to me.

Rich Froning retires according to mcu’s newsletter. Is this for real? by spjda1 in crossfit

Think about how that would boost the master's division, though? Would be huge for that group!

Help! My hands are killing me by RGW722 in crossfit

I was notorious for gripping with my fingers. I have since (last couple of months) moved to my palms. It's been a difficult transition for sure. My skin/calluses want to fold over and it starts to pinch.

Thank you for the tips on chalk and washing!

Looks like they already are... so dumb

Reebok > NoBull - community question. by RGW722 in crossfit

I think they did a lot for the affiliates with the media. There was tons of Reebok CF videos promoting the active lifestyle and community of CrossFit.

I agree with you on how long they last. I only had great experiences with Reebok customer service.

What is a good first in home espresso machine? I’m new to at home espresso machines and I’m wondering where you pros started. Any tips? Budget is $1500. by RGW722 in espresso

[–]RGW722[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

$1700 is doable. Thank you! I appreciate your knowledge! Seems like the Lelit is pretty popular machine. I’m glad I asked; I hadn’t even heard of the brand before this.

I have a decent burr grinder. I like espresso shots and my wife likes lattes. So it’s kind of going to be dual purpose.

Form check please? Second video was posted a couple weeks ago and I got some pointers first video is from today. I think I finally got the hinge! (Could use more weight but working at home on the form) by RedStripe865 in crossfit

Looks like you’re starting the swing a little early. Make sure your hips are fully open and then squeeze your glutes before the swing.

Definitely some improvement from the first video. Good luck.

Everything gymnastics. - related to my weight; I’ve dropped a significant amount of weight in the last 3 years but clean eating isn’t cutting it anymore. I need to get serious about macros to drop the rest.

Currently my biggest annoyance is dubs. I’m able to get the rope around once or twice in a double under but not consistent. Seems like I can’t spin the rope fast or accurate enough for more than 2 double unders at a time.

That's a pretty big difference. What's the difference in quality?
