FAQ!
Hi Crew! Based on some recent and great feedback we received, we’re updating the website to include an FAQ and Resources page for new and veteran athletes at the shop.
We’d love to hear from you!
What would be helpful for a new athlete to know?
What resources do you point your fellow athletes to now regardless of time in CrossFit?
Post to comments and thanks!
We’ll post answers and links in the form of a new page very soon!
– hand care. You had a good blog post a couple of weeks back about Calluses.
– wear socks to rope climbing WODs, wear the right shoes
– explanation (video) of all the different lifts, I.e. the different squats, cleans, presses, jerks, snatches, dead lifts, oly lifts, etc.
– a set of different stretches you can use pre or post workout for different ailments you may have
– shop rules, I.e don’t drop barbells, dont leave terds on the toulet seat, all that good mrs manners stuff.
I agree with Alex that shop etiquette is a big one. With multiple classes going at the same time it’s a good reminder for folks to not drop barbells, wall balls, etc and just walk away to the next exercise during a WOD.
In other news… Ali and I are going to row 21,097 meters with the games competitors at 1:30. Want to join us? Come to Roots any time between 1:30 and 2:30 and get rowing! Ergs are available on a first-come first-served basis. We will have The Games LIVE on the big screen!
