  1. Yeah it's been tough this month. A lot of hot, muggy days. Toughing through it in the summer should make everything easier in the fall.

     

    Ours yesterday was all cardio:

     

    2000m row

    150 double unders

    10 rounds of:

    5 pull ups

    10 push ups

    15 air squats

     

    finished in just under a half hour but I was drenched in sweat. I also suck at double unders. I always do singles and double the quantity. Otherwise I would be constantly hitting my feet.

    Dude, I just joined one as well! I was the biggest crossfit hater for so long but after meeting the coaches at the gym and looking at what they're doing, I've completely changed my mind. Having a background in lifting has really helped accelerate my progress though the on ramp portion, Hopefully I'll start actual classes next week. I have two more sessions of on ramp. I'll update as I go! Where are you going to? I'd love to see their WOD's if they have them posted.

    They use the wodify app now but you can see a bunch of historical WODs on the website (WOD is Workout - of - Day for anyone reading and wondering wtf is a WOD).

  3. Joined a crossfit gym. Still think it's a bit of a ripoff (I could do everything I do there in my basement with equipment I already have) but I've reached the point in my life where fitness (and motivation for fitness) are more valuable than money. It gets me moving and breaks up the monotony of a 5x5 workout. At 30, less worried about 1RM  and focusing more on cardiovascular health.

     

    Biggest trouble for me has been flexibility. I haven't touched my toes in probably 15 years. I'm getting close. Still have a lot of issues with wrist, lat, hip tightness that I'm working through over time. It just hadn't been a problem before given the way I lifted.

     

    I can post the workouts here if people want (not going to do all the warmups, stretches, etc...Just the WOD). Today was:

    25 cleans (95#)

    25 wall balls (20#)

    100m sprint

    4m for the workout (start doing cleans again after you get through it once)

     

    4m rest

     

    Same but 20 reps

     

    4m rest

     

    Same but 15 reps

     

    Scale down for women or up if you are in really awesome shape.

    Surely a major news network is trembling in their boots at the thought of a, uh, meme war with the kitchen sink trap of the internet. Probably also had nothing to do with the other posts that guy has made:

    Can this be confirmed through a reputable source? If so, I'm fascinated. Not that I think CNN is a front or something, just that it seems crazy in today's world that you could create an organization like this and not be constantly sued off your ass for religious persecution. 

     

    Interesting fact -- Jewish people make up about .2% of the world's population and have won about 22% of the Nobel prizes ever awarded. Clearly their culture has a big impact in driving them towards greatness in their field..

  5. Trying to price a bit less than discogs.. Prefer to sell as a set but individuals is fine too.

     

    Snapshot (w/ Nagel) - Clear ($15)

    Ole Diesel - Blue Marble ($10)

    Muff Potter Split - Black ($4)

    Austin Lucas Split - Black ($8)

    Anderson Family Bluegrass Split 9" - Half Green / Silver ($15)

  6. Selling these records with Fest 11 exclusive covers:

     

    reverse the curse - hither & yon

    red city radio - to Sons and daughters

    junior battles - idle ages

    blacklist royals - semper liber 

    dopamines - expect the worst

    a wilhelm scream - a Wilhelm scream

     

    looking to sell as a set. Make me an offer. Looking to get at least $50 ppd to break even.

     

    msg me if you care about the color of the vinyl.

  7. The general consensus in Detroit was that they would win something like 6-8 games. Still could. On one hand you can't come from behind every single game but on the other, Nfl games are usually decided by 1-2 scores so it's not impossible to get it done this way. 

     

    I thought the Viks would be an above average team but I thought the hype train went too far when they were undefeated and being put up there with Seattle and NE. It still comes down to the quarterback a ton in the NFL and Bradford has been in the league a long time -- we mostly know what he is. Game management can get you so far but the best teams have a QB who can put the team on his back when they need it.
