CrossFit

[_pink12_]

May bagong bukas sa Fisher Mall along Quezon Avenue, Crossfit Halcyon, they are offering trial classes. Nagtrial kami ng mga officemates ko, kapagod!

3k/month yung rates nila. May lockers, shower area.

^ Sa Crossfit Insurrecto ka nalang sa may Il Terrazzo! Support my friend. 

[Frozen Toes]

^ I heard malulupit ang crossfitters sa Insurrecto.

[jtansanco]

^ Because of Insurrecto, crossfit's popularity has grown tremendously in the Philippines. They're like the pioneer box.

meron ba sa Manila area? near tutuban mall?

[beachgirl]

^ as far as i know wala pang crossfit box sa Manila area. sa south area sa makati at alabang pa lang.

I want to do CrossFit again, but I'm so out of shape. From my 160lb deadlift PR, I'm back to 110lbs. And I get tired and sore easily.

There's a new box opening in Ortigas. So sana pag nag open yon, ready na ko mag CrossFit ulit.

^I think it's open na! Gooooo!

[beachgirl]

^^ I saw them offering an early bird rate pero baka tapos na yung promo. It's open na nga!

^ Hi sis kachich! Did you join the interbox throwdown nung Saturday?

[Frozen Toes]

Di pa ko ready! Haha! Pero super nakakamiss talaga.

[kachich]

Hi sis beachgirl! I didnt! Graduate na ako sa mga competitions! Kawawa nga box namin kasi we have to recruit pa from other boxes. Hindi na rin ako nagsign up para mag judge. Ayaw ko na ng added stress. hehe

Kamusta?

[beachgirl]

^ Ako din retired na sa mga competitions! Mas masaya pag audience ka lang!

[Frozen Toes]

Manila Throwdown na in April!

[beachgirl]

^ really? where did you see the announcement? are you joining?

Question to the crossfitters, do you wear gloves or any form of grip when you do your thing? If no, does your palm develop any form of callus?

[Frozen Toes]

^ Recently, I've been avoiding using gloves. Grip is better without them and para masanay din hands ko. Puro chalk na lang. Sa pull-up bar, we use goat tape.

Guys, please recommend a good brand para sa wrist support. I'm choosing between Rogue and Rocktape. Medyo alanganin wrists ko sa snatch.

[beachgirl]

^^ depends on your preference. I have gymnastic grips but I haven't found them effective. I also don't use gloves when I workout. I just tape my hands and fingers when needed. And yes, you'll grow calluses but when they get thicker they'll help protect your hands.

^ I use what my friend sells - 1rmwraps (they're on IG). Namamahalan ako sa imported brands eh.

[kachich]

^ I have rouge wristwraps (red one), LP wristwraps, and another pink striped wristwrap na american brand -- forgot about na, LP wristwraps works best (Before I dont use wraps, na injure ako dahil nag slide ako and natukod ko wrist ko kaya I need to use wristwraps -- it helped with presses but not so much on snatches).

I have gymnastics grips as well but I dont use it, lalo kasi kumakapal diameter na kailangan ihold so mas mahirap maghang sa bar, effective mueller tape for me
