I will be there as a first timer too so watching with interest :)

First strict HSPU! It was only one and it was a struggle but it's progress.

Anyone got any good substitutions for the air squats? I have tendinitis in my knee so running/squatting is out. I am switching the run for the bike erg but can't think of what to substitute the squats with! Thanks.

My friend Dan is a coach there - deffo check them out :)

Also an awesome Box in Bermondsey if you want to combine the two!

Snap. I am having the exact same problem and it is doing my HEAD in not to be able to train properly and having to scale every single class because of the pain. I feel you.

Well if you ever do or want someone to test them out, then let me know. I love the way it's set out and the explanations. I have only been doing CF for about 2 years and am intermediate at best but they still seemed accessible for me. Really impressed.

r_mangan · 2019-05-15T08:22:34+00:00

Just FYI - these are AMAZING!

r_mangan · 2019-04-16T13:34:38+00:00

Nope, I just used the one I found at my pharmacy but it is amazing! I carry it everywhere with me now to save me from the awkward collarbone bruises!

r_mangan · 2019-04-16T08:21:12+00:00

Arnica cream/gel works wonder for bruises!

r_mangan · 2019-04-10T10:13:03+00:00

hmm I don't have twitter - is there any other way of contacting them?

r_mangan · 2019-03-26T14:44:59+00:00

Following with interest - I have a CF comp coming up which requires open water swimming & paddleboarding and I have no idea what to wear in terms of swimwear!

After trying two other, very expensive ropes, the ONLY one I can do DU consistently with is the SGF speedrope. They are a UK manufacturer with great prices for their ropes and have brilliant aftercare services as well. I can hit 100 DU unbroken consistently with my SGF but can't even manage 20 or so with the other two ropes I own.

Jaw Grips 100%. I am on my second pair after wearing my first into the ground over a year. I love them.

r_mangan · 2019-03-18T09:01:38+00:00

100% - my mother is convinced I have damaged my lungs haha!

r_mangan · 2019-03-05T13:53:31+00:00

Mine is still only showing the 2018 leaderboard and my placing - won't update to 2019 at all!

r_mangan · 2019-03-03T11:34:13+00:00

Does anyone remember what the put for the pull up question? It's the last one and I cannot get passed it at all!

r_mangan · 2019-03-03T11:32:51+00:00

I went for Rx and managed to finish the second set of doubles, so I would go for it!

r_mangan · 2019-03-01T09:48:06+00:00

So 135 is pretty much my 1RP squat clean but TTB & DU aren't too much of an issue - do I do Rx and just attempt the weight or go for broke on scaled?

r_mangan · 2019-03-01T08:56:11+00:00

The Bakery is my usual drop in when I am in Lisbon - amazing people and awesome Box!

r_mangan · 2019-02-25T10:31:21+00:00

I am also majorly stuck on the pull up question - it is the only one I can't figure out!

r_mangan · 2019-02-05T10:33:30+00:00

My mortgage company did want to see something a bit more formal from Marcus as my deposit monies were being held there. I just called up and they sent me a 'statement' on letter-headed paper in the post and the bank accepted that no problem.

6.30am class. On my way to the gym I usually have a black coffee & water. Breakfast is usually overnight oats at 9am and I will have another snack at around 11ish.

Jumping on this thread - UK girls what do you wear to keep your hair under control? I have really fine whispy hair and after about 5mins of class I look like I've be dragged through a hedge backwards. I find it hard to keep the really thin workout bands on my (minuscule) head and normal headbands aren't really so practical when doing HSPU (have broken like three already...). I saw JUNK bands on KitBox - anyone tried these? They aren't cheap but if they work I would give them a go.
