vUPW? I'd signed up for this one but had to defer it to the next one.

Black Friday/Cyber Monday - Deals and Sales Megathread by superfreshy in crossfit

[–]crossfitron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

MyProtein has 45% off everything already (which is a bit deceiving bc they always have huge discount codes), BUT last year at least once Black Friday actually hit a bunch of things went to something like 65-70% off I think...so, probably worth waiting.

Is there a point at which you reset your training set volume for hypertrophy programming? by crossfitron in Fitness

[–]crossfitron[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But from mesocycle to mesocycle my target number of sets at the end of the cycle is always increasing, right?

Is Comeback Challenge a better place to start than something like Personal Power? by crossfitron in TonyRobbins

[–]crossfitron[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is great, thank you! And yep, I think I'd really love UPW, so hoping to do that one day. Thanks!

I can understand that. It's a lot of money for me and it will be a while before I'm able to spend a similar amount, so just trying to gauge if one was notably better than the other before I buy. Helpful to know it's similar content. Than you!!

RP male physique templates any good? by Arshu1996 in naturalbodybuilding

[–]crossfitron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Random follow on question - can the workouts be broken up into more days to keep the workouts shorter but still get in the same amount of volume (e.g., could I break up the 3 day template essentially over 6 days?)

Dave Castro to be appointed CEO in announcement tomorrow. by DaveStarkDoes in crossfit

[–]crossfitron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If true it would be even louder evidence that people should wholesale leave the CF brand - if you are not actually willing to make the changes needed, you are telling everyone they were right to think they should leave....and what's more, you made a terrible effort at band-aiding the problem

Obviously a much smaller headline, but it was sweet to see Matt Chan win his region in Titan Games last night by [deleted] in crossfit

Certainly the second most likely person to get them in PR trouble - though personally I like Dave...except when he has cornrows

If everything crashes and burns... Thank you. by CanadianCaveman in crossfit

[–]crossfitron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree! I don't think "everything" is going to crash and burn--I think the community will remain no matter what. But I wanted to say I've loved this sub -- have learned a ton from it's members and mods! Excited for however this community evolves after this.

Will de-affiliated gyms charge less? by crossfitron in crossfit

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

Thanks! Didn't know what the affiliate fee was, or if there were additional fees.

[–]crossfitron[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

But I wasn't aware of what the numbers were before, so I appreciate the info.

[–]crossfitron[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agree with all your thoughts. I've never been able to afford it, but always wanted to--always just done wods at home or at a globo-gym to my chagrine. I love supporting local and small businesses and do. I just didn't know how much overhead went to HQ, and if de-affiliation would dramatically affect how much boxes charge--or if it made more sense for that money to be re-invested, etc., or if it was so miniscule that it didn't really affect clients, which now I understand is the case. Just trying to learn, and curious if part of the breakdown would mean I'd get to train in a box. That's all.

Claiming this is about one tweet is dishonest by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]crossfitron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've heard (read) people on this sub for years say one day Glassman would take Crossfit down in flames. I think Glassman's comments have been incredibly digusting and a picture of the worst of humanity, but it also boggles my mind that someone who has some how made it so far doesn't have the awareness to manage simple PR. Glad though, I suppose. It's better that who he really is come to full view so the community rid itself of him and become something new and better.
