MiKa Donating Members 4,243 Member For: 18y 7m 21d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne, VIC Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Body didn't feel good/normal when I was doing it.. I workout mornings and I didn't feel I was getting the most out it due to the lack of fuel in the body. I wasn't a hard thing to follow I was doing 16/8 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78160-weight-training-for-beginners/page/257/#findComment-1333348 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goliath Member 383 Member For: 14y 8m 27d Gender: Male Location: Sydney Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 Crossfit is a joke! Teaching people how to cheat exercises for the sake of numbers. Would rather watch someone doing half reps. GL with you injury and arthritis goals.

MX Dave Donating Members 545 Member For: 14y 6d Gender: Male Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 I'm guessing you haven't done a WOD before?From my experience its more a fact of the workouts are so challenging and difficult you have to start cheating a bit towards the end simply to complete the workout ( kip. Or slightly shorten a push-up etc) the crossfit instructors I work with are absolute form *beep* even more than the fellas I did my cert 3 in fitness with.I can tell you personally I've never been, stronger, faster, fitter and more flexible in my life! It's a great feeling. But each to there own I guess Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78160-weight-training-for-beginners/page/257/#findComment-1334048 Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Velocity_ Bronze Donating Members 2,768 Member For: 13y 11m 17d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 After about 3 weeks I'm not feeling the Doms after weights anymore. Does this mean I should increase weight, reps or both?

MiKa Donating Members 4,243 Member For: 18y 7m 21d Gender: Male Location: Melbourne, VIC Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 For me.. I choose a weight heavy enough so I fail at around 7-8 reps for each set, I usually only increase the weight when I can do 10-12 reps comfortably... Then it's back to 8 reps with a heavier weight.. I have been told that doms doesn't mean you've had a hard workout. Maybe you could mix up what you are doing a bit, your body may be 'comfortable' in its routine? 2 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78160-weight-training-for-beginners/page/257/#findComment-1334188 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Increase you weight Nic and slow your reps down. 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/78160-weight-training-for-beginners/page/257/#findComment-1334190 Share on other sites More sharing options...
