+ 20 = 7928

If you're all doing kipping pullups in CF-gyms I understand the amount. Doing pullups with slow eccentric doesn't amount to a lot of pullups.

No kipping for me, the closest gym is just a CF gym and they have better equipment, so why not.

CF Wods are great for cardio as well.

Yeah, I understand why some would want to train there - it was mainly a joke/trying to excuse my own pullups. However, while I've heard the equipment for weightlifting should be quite good in CF gyms in Denmark, the bench press stations and dumbbells (+ the environment, but that's probably a subjective assessment) supposedly aren't that good, but I've never actually been to one myself

We have one bench for every 8 squat rack, the environment is great, the ones I've trained in have been more like a club vibe than a gym, where everyone has headphones on, at the CF gyms people actually talk to each other and they will spot you if you ask, also no idiots doing curls in the squat rack.

We have db's up to 40kg and kb's up to 60kg, so no excuses.

You should drop by one (not CF Copenhagen) and check it out.

Oh, well I've mainly heard from people who trained in CF Copenhagen, so that may have been the reason, but 1 bench for 8 squat racks doesn't sound like a lot (unless there's a lot of squat racks) and it was also a bit concerning the quality. I wouldn't mind dropping by one, but I already train at a very nice gym in Copenhagen with a friendly atmosphere as well and dumbbells up to around 70 kg. I definitely wouldn't want to train in a FW, though.

I think I'm one of maybe 10 people who use them, the rest use the kb or bb, most globo gyms only have up to 35kg.
+ 55 = 7.963.


ours goes up to 120 which I use sometimes
