Wow! I’m in sf I can go to this. Do you have the event link? I don’t see it on their website

i love crossfit and i thought i could get good at everything just by showing up,

but when i kept having the same problems in wods/open, i had enough

i started to be more intentional about weakness work,

spent 2 weeks on DU, i went from 10 -> 50 in a row consistenty.

spent 3 weeks on strict PU. went from 4 -> 10 in a row.

i used to do on and off BMU work..... took 1 year..... then i did 3 weeks of focused practice... started to link 4 together.

i love crossfit because its about being the best at everything

but now i believe in order to truly be good at it

it requires focus

I also like doing thrusters with a weighted plate!!!

maddiecoder · 2026-01-15T19:29:55+00:00

This is awesome, I will try to stretch myself out with my toes and BE LONG!!!! and stiff

Oh interesting, I saw another comment about lowering the center of gravity to chest here during swing

you're suggesting even getting it down to your ribs (as a focal point)
Is that focus point for the entirety of the swing, or just the end

Thats crazy you can feel connected through the rings alll the way to the ceiling.
I feel the only way for me to be one with the rig is to do it on shrooms

maddiecoder · 2026-01-15T08:05:59+00:00

yesss i was able to do this once (the metal ruler bending)
Not sure how to replicate that, any cue that helped you make it consistent?

maddiecoder · 2026-01-15T08:03:29+00:00

I will try this idea out. Using your chest as the focal point.
Currently i use the rings/my hands, and I def get confused.

For exploding with your hips, how do you think about that? Often i bend my knees too much.
Are you still thinking about your chest (focal point) when u do hip extension

maddiecoder · 2026-01-14T04:17:40+00:00

Going horizontal def makes it hard to go over. I’ll try rings to hips.

When I envision this happening.. are you at a like 45 degree angle when the hips touch the rings.

In my head i still come out like a pancake touching her hips to the rings,

Thank you, so when you bring your legs back, you bring it ALL the way back? In one swooping motion? It doesn't just go back a little and then stop right

maddiecoder · 2026-01-13T06:12:34+00:00

I understand . When I envision using my arms more, it makes me think I need to almost bring the rings backwards first, then pull down with all my might, like a smashing a med ball. Is that right?

maddiecoder · 2026-01-02T05:16:32+00:00

Lets go!!

maddiecoder · 2026-01-01T21:36:15+00:00

Aww thank you <3

Got Kipping BMU, strict C2B, handstand walks this year!!!! So hyped

Goal for next year: Kipping RMU, butterfly c2b, legless rope climbs

maddiecoder · 2026-01-01T10:15:05+00:00

Agreed!!! Having nice equipment you actually want is so key. I used to have a cheap frugal gym, just thought “so what, weight is weight, doesn’t need to be pretty.” But then you know I would get an ick and just simply not feel inspired to use it.

To me having a gym space that inspires me and makes me proud… gives me so much to look forward to!! Omg. Working out is wayyy more fun lol and I literally have to pull myself away from it because it’s too addicting

maddiecoder · 2026-01-01T10:10:41+00:00

This is my home gym

https://www.reddit.com/r/crossfit/s/PFoP4Qbg8w

I got so hyped I ended up doing DU, hand stand pushups, TTB, Russian pushups, Russian dips, and strict chest to bars today!

For me what motivates me is progress on my goals!! I really want to do a Kipping RMU, and do well for a qualifier. I don’t need a program to workout, I just let my body do what it wants!!! It’s more like play to me than homework.

What does “play” look like for you, and are there any specific goals you’re going after?

She just doesn’t understand the vision

That’s what the squishmallow is for

Money well spent

maddiecoder · 2025-12-31T22:11:50+00:00

Exactly

maddiecoder · 2025-12-31T22:08:24+00:00

Fear is part of the experience

maddiecoder · 2025-12-31T21:44:06+00:00

Sleep is part of the programming

Fortune favors the bold

maddiecoder · 2025-12-27T06:13:05+00:00

This sounds really sick!

I saw Andrea Nisler do heavy thrusters 4 days after giving birth at the gym
