Is it good for crossfit?

I just got it, waiting for plates to arrive, but yes, it seems to be a pretty solid bar...a bit greasy upon arrival but once cleaned up, I used it to practice snatch form with just bar...It's no Rogue but good enough for home gym use for sure!

It has a decent resistance but for those looking for real challenge resistance is not quite here like the high end equipment from the gym. It is good for warm up cardio but not for heavy workout.

Yes. This system is only good for minor workout. If you want to "increase" your triceps, the tri bar will be better. Nonetheless with this push-up press i change my routines, shuffle them around and increase reps and sets. But that's just me. Hopefully I help answered your question.

Yes, and yes. We've been using Source Organic at our CrossFit box for close to a year, now. Everyone who's tried it swears it's the cleanest, best performing whey they've ever tried. If you're going to be consuming a lot of whey, you want some that works! The only complaint we've ever had is that it's nearly flavorless, which most find is a benefit.

I would say I'm in decent shape and can use it pretty effectively. If you prefer quick short steps, you will stay at the top of the stepper, for longer (I think harder) steps, let yourself down a little farther each time by moving more slowly. I wouldn't call it gym quality, but I get a good workout especially for endurance if I do over 20 minutes at a time.

I've done P90X and crossfit and I would recommend this mat. I don't slide, slip, or sink like on a foam mat. And your weights won't ruin the mat.

possibiliy - it is very good for exercises where you have lots of jumping - stays put very well - but at the same time is considerable heavy - but nothing that two people can't handle.

It really depends on how strong you are. If you have a lot of upper body strength then it will probably work great for you.

Luis, I understand your rationalization. I too was thinking the same thing before I made my purchase. My research showed that though possible to build up the strength to close any given level of the CoC's, it is not practical to jump too far ahead. Doing that would subject those tiny little supporting tendons in your hands and wrists to great (and unnecessary payloads), upping your chances for injury. Sure you will get stronger and eventually close the grippers but at what cost. I'm sure you want your hands to work well into your golden years. Grip strength is a marathon not a sprint. As a Crossfitter I'm sure you're familiar with the concept of necessary strength and necessary muscle. Grip strength is NOT body building, its functionality. Remember your not going to be doing 100 reps a session either. The 120's I can completely close (straight forward) about 3 times and I'm done. After that I get pretty close but can't completely close them. I can "completely" close and hold the same for about 40 seconds. I do so in different angles too, i.e. wrist straight forward, up and curled in towards my elbow. My advice is if you're already packing a good grip get yourself the 120's. This will surely build up the supporting tendons at a safer pace and then graduate up from there. Just like anything else remember to give yourself plenty of time to recover. Hope this helps, happy gripping.

It's good for overall added support, in no way is my movement compromised; I can still obtain my full range of motion and it doesn't move at all if you get the right size. Really helps my lifts and it's definitely help me gain strength

The people and coaches at my crossfit gym all swear by rehband or rock tape. Hope this helps.

If you want an great workout, this is good for that. You can put on some size and get stronger using this awesome machine. If you really want to get mass.......free weights are the way to go, but you can get bigger an cut using this. It is easy to put under your bed.

If your CrossFit includes a lot of activities in place, like jumping jacks, pushups, lunges, etc, then the watch will capture about 30-50% of actual activity. On the other hand, if during CrossFit, you move a lot in motions resembling running or walking, then Basis will detect most of that activity.However, given that CrossFit is a very high impact activity in terms of heart rate, Basis will give you less calorie credit than what you actually spend. Basis heart rate monitoring accuracy deteriorates at higher heart rates.

Yes, it does. If you really want the most bang for your buck (and time), recommend T-25. This is a fun work-out though and does really isolate adductor, abductor, glute, quads and hamstrings well.

I have used it while lifting weights and a friend of mine uses it during his boxing work outs. I hope this helps you out.

Yes. Its better for your back. You also can lift more weight with a shrug bar.

I have used this Rider for over twenty years. It is good for all muscle groups except the abs. Do other exercise for that muscle group. What I love about this Rider is that you can do aerobic and anaerobic exercises. I alternate, day to day. As you get stronger and more developed, you can add weights to the bar just under the seat in order to increase resistance. I do 45-minute workouts, 4 days a week. On the aerobic days, I build to 50 reps per minute. For more information regarding how this Rider came about, buy Covert Bailey's book, "Fit or Fat". He invented the machine.
