Since the motivation thread reminded me, I noticed Corky’s insta profile tags cross fit, so I reckon you should either: (1) check what she wears; or (2) check if AP endorses cross fit.

If you are training for IM (is there any other reason to train) then NO. If you're training to be able to drag tyres around a gym, or jump up & down looking like a goose, then yes, crossfit is good.

Tyno 2,403 Posted January 19, 2019 Report Share Posted January 19, 2019 Metcons or Nanos. Or whatever you have. Some focus on minimal drop to maintain flatter feet for lifting exercises Link to post Share on other sites

Chris_71 15 Posted January 20, 2019 Report Share Posted January 20, 2019 Never needed special shoes for any WOD's. I know they say Lalo's etc give you a better platform for lifting or whatever, I don't really need them. I wear Ultra Armour runners. Link to post Share on other sites

AP 2,296 Posted January 21, 2019 Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 Quote Bags AP for being arrogant and condescending. Give us some examples - first your statement and my arrogant and condescending reply - keep it honest if you can - I'm game if you are 😊 Link to post Share on other sites
Bored@work 4,088 Posted January 21, 2019 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2019 See above comment “keep it honest if you can” For example one. I find that comment to be condescending. Then go back to any thread where someone disagrees with you. Link to post Share on other sites

So you really couldn't come up with anything to support your statement 😏 the "keep it honest if you can" simply meant don't exaggerate, come up with statements you've made that I have answered arrogantly or condescending - I'm not after an argument here I would like you to simply justify your statement Link to post Share on other sites

Dalai 441 Posted October 26, 2020 Report Share Posted October 26, 2020 I don't do Crossfit, but I recently bought Reebok Lifter PR shoes which might be worth considering? Though they have a raised heal so may not be suitable? I'm only back starting in my home gym since last week so not lifting heavy yet, but they feel solid underfoot for squats and deadlifts.
