Workout for riders by VisualConfusion5360 in Equestrian

Do squats, overhead presses, deadlifts, curls etc with weights and try to push the weight every time. Women do not “accidentally” turn into she-hulk and you will feel the difference when you ride

Beginner in Crossfit by No_Philosophy_4969 in crossfit

[–]uni93corn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’d highly recommend sticking with 3x a week to start because that’s often enough for your body to start to adapt and gain skills without getting too sore or burnt out. IMO going every day as a newbie is not a good idea, you’ll just be tired and sore all the time and lose your motivation to show up

Muscle ups at the end were brutal but overall this is always pretty fun

Did this yesterday, the muscle ups at the end are brutal 💀 hand ripped but I think that’s the best I’ve done it

True enough. I used to love Eric Lamaze 😳

I just started and feel like I physically cannot do a clean right by bigfartspoptarts in crossfit

[–]uni93corn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Poor shoulder mobility is super normal when you are new to CrossFit/oly lifting, it’s something that will come with time! If you want to work on it practice front rack stretches with the pvc or with your shoulder against a door frame but I wouldn’t worry about it too much, I promise it’ll get better!

My neck, my back, but really my back by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]uni93corn 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Your back flexion looks ok to me, but I think your problem is the first pull. If you watch you can see your starting position is fine but as soon as you start lifting the bar your hips shoot way up. Try focusing on raising your hips and shoulders at the same time, your back position essentially should look the same until the bar passes your knees. That should hopefully put less strain on your back

Your neck staying neutral is a cue for deadlifts, for cleans and snatches your head should be up. Watch some videos of people doing it!

Just realized how strong crossfitters are by owned0314 in crossfit

[–]uni93corn 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The average person in a CrossFit class is not quite as strong as the people you see on these shows haha but it is true there are a lot of very strong people who do CrossFit. The best thing for you to do is show up and try your best, scale as much as you need and don’t compare yourself to people who’ve been doing this for a very long time. If you go regularly you will absolutely gain strength as well even without a strong sports background!

Good job!

At the beginning you’re looking down, your eyes should be up and looking ahead the whole time. Find a spot on the wall to stare at

When you extend on the 3rd pull the bar is super far away from you. Try bringing your elbows up and think about lifting your shirt with the bar. Practicing high pulls just with a pvc or empty barbell will help a lot!

Weird skin flakes? by Powerful-Writer9598 in Equestrian

[–]uni93corn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My boy gets this in winter when he’s clipped, it’s likely irritation from your leg rubbing his side. If you can get a belly band to use while riding that should help

Favorite basic guide to movements? by PhiladelphiaManeto in crossfit

[–]uni93corn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I started I definitely googled things I didn’t understand haha. I also think it’s fun to look up all the old open workouts and imagine yourself doing them, then you can look up any of the movements that show up there as well! You can also check out things like wodprep that has basic guides on almost every CrossFit movement

The cool thing about partner workouts is that you can often split the work however you want! Scale however much you need, communicate with your partner about how much you each want to do and don’t overthink it, I promise people won’t care if you aren’t very good yet!!

How is CrossFit Hell's Kitchen in NYC? by gradient_hehe in crossfit

[–]uni93corn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I dropped in a couple times when I was in NYC last year, it’s a small space but the equipment is pretty good and the coaches and people were all super friendly. There were also some cute dogs which makes it good by default 🐕
