PygaSchmyga Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Anyone been trying crossfit out? I get bored easily. So, my usual cycling and running regime is boring me. Feel like changing things up a bit with a bit of crossfit. Welcome opinions.I get it, you vape!

Dexter-morgan Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 (edited) Is he the only Saffer going to regionals?Not 100% sure but the comment that BOXCHAMP made it sounded like it, there might be a couple of Masters going as well. We have a Ruan Duvenage as well, he is in 10th spot Edited May 31, 2017 by Dexter-morgan
Vetplant Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Is he the only Saffer going to regionals?Ruan Duvenhage is the other male from SA that got in to Regionals. Celestie Englebrecht is the only female that got in from SA In the team competition it seems like we have a couple of representatives:Cape Crossfit WolfpackRTF PredatorsCFTijgervalleiCrossfit Brackengate(might have missed someone else) Realistically though, only Jason Smith has a shot at qualifying for the games. Great experience for the rest to go there and compete at that level. wonduhboy 1
Jurgens Smit Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 How many people actually crossfit actively? Would you like to share some of your benchmark workouts/pb's etc.?
Jewbacca Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 How many people actually crossfit actively? Would you like to share some of your benchmark workouts/pb's etc.?I do.. 3 times a week. Been on a layoff with Expedition Africa build up and recovery but back to it this week for the fitness classes to ease back in. I am not at all competitive so don't really keep score. I go there, do whatever they tell me to do as best I can, sweat, die, lie on the floor in a puddle of man tears, get up and go to work or for a surf. I really enjoy it. The difference it has made to my paddling and my ability to carry boats and other functional, applicable muscle groups is amazing. Really helped me at EA this year. Going from a spindly runner/cyclist to having some upper body strength has been great. BUT... as said before, leave the ego at home. There are some guys who just Cross Fit, so take all your time spent on the trails/road and that is what they put into the box. Don't try beat them, rather ask for advice and technique assistance.

People are quick to slam crossfit and what the chicks look like and how bad/dangerous it is. But the way the workouts are structured have such a massive impact on your day to day life.
