Member FAQ

By /

CrossFit Moncton now has a new document for all of our members. It’s the Member FAQ. This is a resource containing the many questions we get as trainers – ranging from questions about ZenPlanner, to what kind of shoes to get, to how to get a muscle-up. There’s a TON of information in this, so please read through all of it.

      That was fast! It was great to have you in the morning class.. You probably think we’re boring / silent!

    2. Lora

      Hmmmmmm….I think someone is ready to move on to pullups with bands 😉
      Great time, Jeff! Nice numbers on your deadlifts too.

    Also tested this WOD a few weeks back but Kevin had me do 25# weighted burpees instead of regular burpees. Time on that was 12:56. It was much worse.

    Great job am peeps!

    looking back…I feel like I was going too high on my chest to rings. Need to remember that it just needs to touch under the clavicle. LOVE LOVE LOVE the new rings.

    I love starting my week with CFM!

    I could not string together consecutive Chest-to-Rings more than a couple times, but I tried to keep the breaks short. I think I can hit close to 10 min next time.

    Had to break up round 8 and 9 pullups. Burpees were slow as usual.

    3. Blake

      You are not allowed to say “slow” and post a time like that sir! Slow is Blake doing 100 DUs for time…or little old ladies driving on the highway… THAT good man, is frickin’ fast

    I like burpees. Most days.

    Skip for 2 mins, and attempt du’s :-
    Wu x 1 rings to chest instead of Pullups
    Strength cleans to 155 trying to improve form, need to stop using arms to move the weight instead of hips! Start position needs work too.

    9:21 good up to round 8 then I couldn’t catch my breath. Lol
    Liked this Wod. Thanks Kevin great coaching and great time on the Wod.

    Skip for 2 mins, attempting DUs (aka more “ha ha ha, no!”s)

    Strength: Back Squats 5×25-30-35-40-45

    WOD:
    Scaled to 2-4-6-8-10
    – burpees
    – ring rows (made them more challenging than I usually do).

    Time: 7:56

    …and I realized that I’ve not been pushing myself like I shoulda/coulda been for a while, now (i.e.; making moves more challenging, trying to grow beyond the ring row, etc.), so there are some CrossFit goals right there – to get out of my comfort zone and stop being so self-conscious, so I can grow/improve.

    1. Lora

      Getting outside of your comfort zone, although scary, is VERY rewarding! I’ve admired your tenacity ever since the first time I met you at CFM. You simply never quit, and I love that! I look forward to seeing you get “uncomfortable” and achieve those goals you are setting for yourself.

      1. Robyn

        Thanks, Lora! I have come up with 5 goals to focus on for the next little while. I’m excited to have a little more of a plan with where I want be, ability-wise. 🙂

    Thanks Amanda for the tips on my Push Presses… I will try me best to improve working on one thing at a time. I found it hard to work on my knees and arms at the same time and I really got confused ! I will get it tho ! 🙂

    2. Lora

      Crazy fast, Chantal! Skinnier band for you next time! You’re getting way to strong for the blue one 😉

      2. Chantal Guerette

        Yeah I was debating between normal pullups without band and chest to bar pullups with band… I started with normal pullups but after 3 I realized I was not going to finish this workout without the band so I used it but did chest to bar instead… To be honest, I don’t see much of a difference between the skinnier band and no band at all ! I’ll try next time tho 🙂

    Burpees and chin over rings.(scaled)
    I was getting the ring to my clavicle, but had trouble getting it to touch the ring so no RX for me.
