I've been skinny my whole life. I was 6ft & ~145 lbs from the age of 18 to 40. I started crossfit at 40 years old. I went to class 5 days a week and did a bunch of extra work after every class. I more than doubled my caloric intake (I was undereating and eating the wrong stuff), and in a year I put on 10 lbs of muscle. After another year I put on another 10 lbs of muscle. I've been at my goal weight of 165 for about 3 years. Yes, you can build muscle doing crossfit, but you have to do more than just the class as they emphasis in this video.
@@EGA_386 They would have extra stuff each day on the whiteboard other than the wod for us to do before or after class. We also had a strength class on Saturdays before the partner wod. It was usually either Oly lifts or accessory work for Oly lifts, and squats. We'd also do grunt work: sled push/pulls, sandbag work, odd object carry. Just all sorts of stuff. Basically all the stuff you see Kristi do. I never used a machine.
Great video! I just started CrossFit style workouts with a personal trainer late this summer and finally got the courage to go to a CrossFit gym a few months ago. At 53, I'm amazed at the change in my body and I feel fitter and stronger now than when I ran marathons many moons ago. Thanks for the great videos and inspiration you two. They are teaching me lots and definitely keeping me motivated!
After leaving competitive sports, I’m looking at joining CrossFit for the first time! Excited to learn some new skills and maybe get a little more jacked 🙃 wish I could workout at your gym it looks amazing!!!
I’m running ultramarathons and I was doing ok but since I’ve gone more CrossFit-centric, it has gone to another level. Complementing this with cycling and accessory work has been a revelation.
I've been searching this answer and going crazy in my own mind about HOW CAN I GET RIPPED LIKE YOU All and THIS 6 MIN CONTENT has finally come!!! Its so simple but im the type to have to hear it from the source!!! So thank you for answering my biggest curiosity of this year!!! Love you guys!!!💯❤🔥
I am a recently newly certified personal trainer and have three kids. I used to be perfect weight but not enough muscle I desired. Now I have a lot of muscle definition but having children has done a lot to my body and I’m now 13.9 BMI and I am frustrated cause I need it to go up to a healthier level; but my goal is to tremendously build up and bulk in the right and healthy way. Videos like this really spark my drive and motivate me cause I’m 119-120 and to see that thumbnail and see the difference that’s possible, I’m totally fired up. Thanks Kristi!
Great advice. After all we all human being, sometimes my diet off a little bit but i still keep on tract. Dont give up, just keep going. The same spirit when i doing my crossfit workout at the box. Just enjoy the life while its last..
Such a great message. I've been doing CrossFit 6 months and it's a process. I definitely am starting to notice physical changes that match the weight increases at the gym but yeah, it takes time. Under eating is also probably my biggest flaw right now that I am consciously working on right now.
Hi bro, I am about to start crossfit, tomorrow is a trial session and I am excited and nervous at the same type. I have been doing on and off functional bodybuilding on and off for 4 years now and my goal is to build athletic body, basically lean muscle not too big like bodybuilders. Do you think I am making the right choice?
Great video! I especially appreciate how you both talked a lot about specificity. Too much in the CrossFit space, I’ve noticed constant variance be emphasized. That’s well and good to a point. Especially for general population who are just looking for GPP. If you want to progress further than that. You have to be more specific when it comes to strength and skill development.
I think that's a great point - and variation doesn't mean random variation. For me, one of the biggest benefits of variation is that you can train more overall volume without hurting yourself.
I want to build a little more muscle, however i also am working on losing about 45 lbs till my first goal body weight. Having already dropped 75 lbs this year, has put me on the right track to see a figure in the mirror and motivates me to build it up with beautiful muscles!
Yep crossfit classes for me were more like general ed at the beginning. Once you find out your weaknesses I did 1 on 1 training with a coach to get better and stronger. So outside of class I had to do a lot of supplemental work which translated into better numbers in class.
Great video, very thoughtful. CrossFit gave me around 18 lb lean muscle gains over 5 years (most in years 2-4) vs when I was doing endurance with the occasional machine gym session. Some specific specs (running pace, bench press) suffered, but most metrics improved.
great video! until five years ago I only trained in the gym, and I wasn't very satisfied with my results. Then i started crossfit training in November 2017, and i feel fitter and strongher then when i workoout i gym. Thanks for the videos and the big inspiration they are theaching me lots and kepping me motivated!
I’ve been watching your channel since I started CrossFit 3 months ago and this is the exact video I was looking for this week. I’m trying to gain 10 lbs of lean muscle and hearing that it takes years is very affirming. I have my nutrition on lock but sounds like I definitely need to add more weight lifting. Thank you both for such great insight!
maybe your goal is too specific/limiting for the exercise modality you have chosen( practice good form and eating and sleeping right to reduce injury )maybe instead of your 10 lbs of lean muscle might be better if you muscular circumferences were measured with a tape measure and remeasure in 3 months to ascetain changes, may be needing to alter rest/ diet more. take pictures, to ascertain current and periodically to ascertain any changes- may be a way to encourage you further. lean muscle may be ok but could be a fickle machine or other reasons for a poor read/ measure and having the other measurements may be a way to substantiate your improvement. taking three measurements over 3 day period and average your scores may be beneficial too!
I feel that to be Games level, or obtain that amount of lean muscle, Crossfit becomes a fairly complex lifestyle, not just a passive hobby! Training with intent! 💜 P.S. Pat, no matter what those mean boys say 🤪, your beanie is just fine! It keeps the warmth in, that's all that matters!
I love Your and Patrick 's vlogs-watching you from Europe(Croatia) from one of first vlogs! I started crossfit, lost 55 pounds and I love it. But my wife is angry(in good way😋) because my shirts and everything else is very smelly after training(5 days in a week) and thats take over another clouth in washing machine(we use refreshneer for shirts but that no working🙈) ! You can make vlog about something small and simply like that! Hi from Europe!! Stay healty, and much more comp!! 👋
What kind of watch do you use at 6:38 ?? As beginner CrossFit member, can you make video about required fitness watch for progress from cheaper to whoop ?
I’m a Virgo so when I find a new hobby I’m 1000% in and all consuming. I’ve been doing CrossFit for about a month after losing 100lbs. Struggling to gain muscle but I did just eat 4 chocolate chip cookies. I also know WODpalooza is soon and I’m in south Florida. Here I am saying next year i want to compete 🙃 and then you say basically say it’s not that easy to develop those skills and true ability. So thanks for a more realistic expectation. It’s hard to know what is right or wrong, especially after being on the “lose weight” path for years. Not only learning but retraining my brain!
CrossFit is good if you do it right. Some of the lifts are not meant for repetition. The more you lift the more exhausted you become and it starts to mess with your form. Listen to your body. Swallow your pride, lose the ego and accept your limits. If your dead tired and can’t do anymore, move on to something else. Don’t keep trying and end up hurting yourself. Most CrossFit competitors get injured because of their damn egos. They tell themselves, one more rep when they can barely stand up straight due to how tired they are
Crossfit gives you huge traps and a dump truck a*s because of Oly lifts. It did for me anyway. However, to have the complete "look" you have to do "bodybuilding" exercises for hypertrophy and a balanced muscular physique. I've been following Kristi for awhile -- She bodybuilds.
I'm 28kg/61 pounds heavier than what my heaviest weight for my bmi. For my bmi I'm meant to be between 50kg to 66kg at maximum ( 110 pounds to 145 pounds ) for my height 163cm ( 5'4 ) I'm female and in early 30s I've just had my first personal training session at crossfit and have 2 more a total of 3 and then I'll join classes twice a week. How much weight ( fat loss ) do you see me losing per month? I'm hoping for 2.5kg per month minimum. Love your channel very inspiring!
8 months in and I've definitely gained muscle! And that is going 3-5 times a week for class only! But I went from not being active at all and having no muscle 😅Also I've lost 50 pounds (so far)
We had a Christmas party yesterday and I won Athlete of the year! 😁 that's in terms of dedication, attitude, weight loss etc. Not that I'm the best or strongest haha
I recently started your 8 week strength and accessory program. Any chance you guys can do a video going over the structure and your design for the program?
i like that Idea, we can def add that to the list. Thats the program i used before i hit 281# 1 rep front squat in the 2020 games after friendly fran !
So going to a regular gym gets better results in shorter time? I mean you can get a muscular body with 1-1.5 hour session a day. According to what you say, I gotta take a class 1 hour and then do regular gym training which probably is another hour
I need help and recommendations. 14 years old, 127 pound female here. I’ve been lifting/CrossFitting my whole life but it doesn’t look like it. How can I shed body fat and build muscle and get toned??? Nothing is working.
Hi guys, do you have any general tips that can help understand the consistency of a specific stimulus i.e.one push and one pull movement everyday, etc.? thanks
Here I was doing CrossFit 5-6 days a week and hoping I could challenge one of my coaches soon……nope! It has given me a good body but CrossFit Games..? Not a chance.
Awesome! Kristi i hope you don't mind me asking your height and weight?? I am 5.2 tall and can't figure what's a good body weight at my height. Currently i am 54.5 kgs... i have been 51-52 kgs but now hormonal weight is piling up. its scary!
Weight is irrelevant. The goal is your muscle to fat ratio aka your bodyfat percentage. Shes a top tier crossfit games athlete who probably has 10% bf. At the same exact weight you wont look like her if you have 35% bf. I think shes like 135lbs btw. Anyway, your goal should be to get as strong as possible, while eating adequate protein and let the weight fall where it may. Hope this helps! If you need more specifics @builtongodsrock
@@BuiltonGODSrock Agreed! I was actually asking as Kristi is a coach as well. I am asking about body weight for performance as people keep telling me I need to increase weight to lift heavier. I very very comfortable with how I look but I am no used to feeling heavy. Although I totally appreciate your response and where it’s coming from.
I am starting to really enjoy body building and the process that goes into it!!! Very diff from CrossFit!! And thanks 😊 haha I have always had calves since I was a little kid my mom says 🤷♀️! Thanks for watching !
everything is right except one little thing... nutrition 🤣. My nutrition could be equal to Spartans but when it comes the moment for a movie...buy buy nutrition,buy buy goals
The premise of crossfit shows its the worst way to build muscle. All you have to do is go to any crossfit gym and 99% of the members have dad bods or are “soccer moms.” Constantly varied is not whats needed to build muscle. You need to progressively overload and get stronger at the same movements and the same exercises over and over. You should not change your workouts everytime. Soreness is a sign of a new stimulus to your body or that you have done too much. It doesn’t necessarily mean the exercise is effective. With that being said i am a crossfitter who loves crossfit but what I recommend to my clients who do crossfit but want to look good is to incorporate some bodybuilding 2-3 times a week and of course adequate protein and the right amount of calories on top
MMMM DAAA!!! ya you will built more muscel in cross fit , its more rep , more rep more oxygen and more oxygen more pure myscel and its easy ... JUST SHOW UP
The answer is “No”!!! Just doing the 1 hour class at your local box will not help you build muscle, especially after the first few months. If you are weak, CrossFit will make you stronger. If you are strong, CrossFit will make you weaker.
A lot of unscientific bro science going on here. Some people genetically find it easier to get stronger and more muscular. Others are always going to struggle. There’s no foolproof recipe that’s going work for everyone unfortunately. Most people are going to have to settle for getting a lot fitter, a little stronger and maybe adding a little muscle.
I've been skinny my whole life. I was 6ft & ~145 lbs from the age of 18 to 40. I started crossfit at 40 years old. I went to class 5 days a week and did a bunch of extra work after every class.
