STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 -- A New Niketalk = A New Thread

[ooiron manoo]

Something about you xfitters just come off as condescending like you know everything...

Generalizations on generalizations...and y'all get mad at the STAY/GET BACK IN SHAPE VOL 3.0 for making generalizations about xfitters...

, bro, you're the worst with your not so subtle subliminals.

Needing wrist flexibility to front squat, clean, etc is a huge misconception. Work on your front rack positioning and go from there. Start with the bar, no weights. Work on hip flexibility. For those with bum body parts and using it as an excuse not to squat: air squat, dumbbell squat, kettle bells, etc. There are tons of solutions, but seems like excuses trumps all.

If the injury isn't serious find ways to modify your movements. If your afraid of your guts coming out your angus (they won't), go light.

Too many excuses, except on international chest day when everyone is healthy.

How the **** is this condescending?

You guys mention CF more than the CF guys (exception being Steezy, ). Actual advice = condescending...

Not generalizing, majority of people DON"T know how to workout. Most people that go to a commercial gym, have never received any type of training. Most people that go to a commercial gym are doing workouts from High School, Mags or Youtube.

It isn't even about Crossfit, but there is a wealth of knowledge out there that people are failing to see or ignoring because of misconceptions.

We just had a whole discussion with people dismissing Air Squats,

Don't Crossfit, but look into actual training, Olympic Lifting, Gymnastics, etc. Expand your horizons, or die in that little box you've made yourself and keep doing the same boring workouts.

But I wasn't trying to be subtle?

Also, if you read my post, I quoted you and left things that you said that I thought were condescending...

 

[ooiron manoo]

But I wasn't trying to be subtle?

I'm saying the Sorority is strong in here, don't throw jabs if you can't handle the cross.

Didn't get the memo, on who can and who can't.

So what I'm getting from you is: "I can contribute these corny one liners and jokes but when someone else does it he's a condescending "xfitter"

Waiting for the day you contribute something, anything really. Never said jokes or one liners will never be used.

Just missed the memo on who can and who can't.

Nobody talking WOD/CF in here, . Keep growing, one of the few that actually grinds in this thread (Respect!)

true if u lift with enough intensity it can be considered cardio cardio

 

[ooiron manoo]

@ Stuntman Mike, it's a kick in the ***, not as easy as it looks on paper.

Cardio is anything that gets your bpm going.

Unfortunately it became synonymous with the treadmill and elliptical machines, and it's tough for people to shake that perception.

Doesn't seem to be a bad way to get workouts and it has instructional videos.

 

[stuntman mike]

it was very poorly worded. yeah, yeah you guys know what i mean.
i'm dripping with sweat after my workouts. i often push myself to the point of failure. the thought of doing a sixth set on heavy 5x5 days is a revolting thought. but i don't do much with the direct goal to elevate my heart rate. i've done stuff like jump rope in-between sets etc but i stopped. the 150 body squats just showed me how lacking i am in movement/endurance that will benefit me day to day as my boy gets older and we do stuff together.

 

[SuperJ5]

A couple slow air squats on the vibration plate gets me right before my lower body days evvverytime. I do some air squatting sporadically throughout the day to get lower and lower every time. My hips love it.

 

[Chopper]

I just tried the 150 air squat challenge... and failed miserably. 90 in 3 minutes and I called it quits. F that. 

 

[ayzee]

A lot of closed minded and ignorant viewpoints in here lately.

Instead of immediately dismissing someones thoughts or goals because they arent exactly the same as your own you may benefit from being open to differing ideas and showing some sort of understanding of anothers goals.

Its easy to be critical and knock something but how does that help anyone long term?

Air squats are a lot tougher than some of you may think.

steezy knocked dudes for going heavy when squatting. What did you expect the response to be? 

 

[arturzeee]

Best preworkout to take and any recommendations on what to take during a workout?

Pre:

I didn't knock ante for go heavy, sorry if that's how it came across.

What I criticized was dudes going heavy and not through FROM...then laugh at air squats, looking very ignorant to the fact that air squats can actually help your gains indirectly..
