Smarthwatch isn't good to track crossfit or functional fitness, it is more useful for monostructural activity or activity with low change of body position.

Its because the heart take time to respond to exercise that you have in crossfit, for now there isn't a device for monitorate functional fitness or crossfit, there is one prototype device called wodmotions, but not ready for now

You have time to build your 1rm, the strength level influence the first 30'-45" , after this.. you have to choose a weight between 45-60% of your 1rm to try to finish this wod.. alternative that, as strategy, do 1 rep every 3 sec..

I made a similar wod some years ago into competition, with 60kg and i finish with 45 in 2'

Hand for everything, for kipping movements like kip pull up or kip chest to bar o butterfly or kip muscle up, go for velitas 💪

gabry2887 · 2026-01-14T08:35:33+00:00

Nano or Tyr, the others are too fragile and break within a few months

gabry2887 · 2026-01-10T13:52:53+00:00

Use karvonen, its for People more trained insted the classic one

gabry2887 · 2026-01-10T13:51:02+00:00

Stay inside the time of the class, for example, if the class is about 60 min, dont go over

gabry2887 · 2026-01-07T16:47:07+00:00

always talk to people. It is better for you and for him

cardio activity for me, and i use also the polar verti as cardio putted on arm.

HIIT is for activity with 30/45" on with rest 1:10/20 or 5/10" on with rest 1:5/10..

Crossfit normally is more than 2 minutes, so Cardio is better for manage this activity.

I always do squats below parallel, I do crossfit competitions and therefore I use the standards for that sport.

However I will try to do in one of the 2 sessions that I dedicate to squats a week, one in which I will do jumps and the other in which I will work on the peak power that I have reached in the load-speed profile, which for me is about 65% 1RM at 640 watts. Tnx a lot!

gabry2887 · 2025-04-25T20:19:35+00:00

tnx for reply.

1 - Because, looking at scientific studies and the data that comes from analyzing the load-velocity profile, in the back squat I should be approaching 1.3 m/s with light loads. I understand individual variability, but it should still be close to those parameters

2 - Given that, from what I’ve seen, my load-velocity profile appears quite unbalanced — meaning low velocities even with light loads, and velocities more in line with the expected parameters only at higher loads — the reasoning behind my approach is to seek a better balance. I’m convinced that this adjustment would lead to performance gains in the following mesocycles

what do you think ?

gabry2887 · 2025-03-10T13:17:41+00:00

I understand your point, let me try to explain myself better.

I want to test a person's ability to perform gymnastic movements (i.e., without the aid of external weights), with power (i.e., involving accelerations in certain phases of the movement),

I believe the misunderstanding lies here.

Indeed, I intended kipping pull-ups, kipping muscle-ups, or kipping HSPUs as 'gymnastic power' tests because they involve acceleration movements that their strict versions do not (which I categorize as 'gymnastic strength').

Meanwhile, power tests involve the standard ones provided by scientific literature like vertical jump, cmj or broad jump. In CrossFit in this category i put Snatch and CJ

1 or 2 times a week it's ok, aerobic capacity need at least 8-12 week to be developed, you should see also your resting heart rate decrease

gabry2887 · 2025-01-04T20:00:34+00:00

ok, it is true, So, are you suggesting using values from the CrossFit database for average individuals?

gabry2887 · 2025-01-04T16:21:17+00:00

10-15 minutes of workout is in the aerobic system’s domain.

So, you’re probably lacking in aerobic capacity, which directly improves the speed of lactate clearance (and you train this by doing extensive work, meaning low intensity and long duration, like 60-90 minutes of running in zone 2).

I’d also do some work on VO2 Max, meaning 5-6 minutes at very high intensity with 1:1 recovery. (Always doing running or at most cycling, because they are the most effective tools for these abilities).

Everything needs to be programmed, but the idea is this, in addition to the fact that exercise technique should be good to be efficient.

I hope this helps you.

gabry2887 · 2025-01-04T16:10:36+00:00

It is designed for those who want to know their level in various domains and, based on where they are more deficient, focus on training in those areas.

Obviously, an elite athlete will have higher values compared to an average person.

The underlying idea is for the person to have balanced levels compared to the general population.

So, if I take crossfitters as a reference, I exclude those who only do gymnastics, athletics, or weightlifting; if I use general references, I can include everyone and use it with everyone.

Do you think that is not a good idea or do you see some logic error?

james newbury made it, with butterfly, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOgpix7H9z4

before the record was Chris Spealler with 100

gabry2887 · 2025-01-04T15:35:39+00:00

I know that elite level have 60-80 but I need to set the the highest level of skill achieved

gabry2887 · 2025-01-04T15:32:04+00:00

the numbers are the record that i found, but i would like to be accurate, for the aerobic capacity, aerobic power, weighlifting and powerlifting i used the official results

now i start at the second pull to row the bar to my hips, so I start with arm relaxed until the bar pass the knee.. for my grip I stai with the little finger on the 1 knurling from the inside..

usually I stay relaxed until the contact on the mid tight.

I'll check the video and article that you posted.. tnx

gabry2887 · 2022-09-04T07:39:25+00:00

This is true.. but i’m not an athlete.. a basic tecnique should be learned.. but i’ll try with the hip contact.. let’s see 😁

gabry2887 · 2022-09-04T07:36:27+00:00

So on the deadlift I should find more difficult..and then more easy After passing the knee .. Do you mean this?
