howdy
i recently got accepted into the texas a&m rugby team and the coach recommended crossfit to me. Ive done a little research on it and am very excited to try it out. Just one little thing bothers me, I dont want to lose my power. When I read through the WOD and courses i see alot of body strength type excerise, i undertstand it is supposed to make you better in alot of areas, but is it possible I can do crossfit and still do powerlifting.(small reps – alot of weight) I dont want to lose hitting power.Thanks

Running……?

My fastest mile is 7 minutes and 30 seconds. I stretch and all that, BTW I use a treadmill. Any ways on improving my speed on the treadmill to 5.59 and below minutes. Whoever gives the advice that helps me to 5 minute mile will have their name included on my youtube video of me running that mile. I want to improve my lower body strength because I have REALLY strong upper strength but medium strength in legs, I gotta run fast for baseball in highschool. Any advice?
Is Running Counterproductive to Strength Training?

Question: "I’m a longtime runner who recently began working out with a trainer. He told me running is compromising my strength routine. Is he right? "
Answer: Sounds like you need to find a new trainer! “Running is definitely not counterproductive to building muscle, unless you’re looking to dramatically increase muscle mass,” says Gregory Florez, CEO of Fitadvisor.com. “In fact, as a weight-bearing exercise, running helps develop more lean muscle mass in the lower body—which also keeps your bones healthy.”
That doesn’t mean it’s a substitute for strength-training, though. “Include lower-body strength moves like squats and lunges and upper-body moves like push-ups and pull-ups to reduce injury risk, increase stamina and boost metabolism,” adds Florez.
