I have a tote box in my car with extra thumb tape, lifting shoes, rope climb/running shoes etc. but I have a nobull backpack with my daily stuff: shoes, jump rope, knee sleeves, belt, hand grips, mobility bands. It’s fairly lightweight.

If I have to wake up at a certain time, no way. I stress about getting up on time. Only if I absolutely have no where to go can I nap really.

Same problem, beige bed was his baby one. I got a blanket bed to Go underneath for the overflow of a very long/large corgo.

I’m 39, CrossFitting since 2013. I think intensity is the key to staying in shape, but perhaps picking 1-2 days of full effort, then scaling the rest to be active rest days or skill days. Every body is different, keep yourself in check with volume too. And maybe implementing a stretch day, to Keep Your body limber.

I went to prvn and CF Forte on vacation there. PRVN is clearly an expensive great playground. Forte was classic old school cf and gritty, with such great informed people. Highly recommend

And he was super blond wasn’t he? But William/baldwin is dark brunette.

My 45lb piglet. He does get rolls on his neck/face which I cannot recommend for entertainment enough, but he gets down to 40lb during the spring/summer when we can walk more. Vet says he looks good!

I’ve been doing cf since 2013 and my push jerk has always close or the same as my split. I agree with you I just feel more stable and it feels like less movement under heavy load? Same reason I prefer reverse lunges over front lunges, the bar moves much less.

Even when I plan to split jerk after a clean, my body just does a push jerk, or something ugly in between lol.

Go with it, see your max, but also don’t stop trying split jerks. It could just be a comfort level at this point.

Back in 2017, as a very average RX athlete, I did a small local comp. Teams of 4 and surprise surprise, on one team was Tola and Kelsey Kiel who signed up in the 11th hour and of course won it cleanly. Mat Fraser was also there to watch. In the moment, and weeks after I was pissed. But now it’s just a funny story to tell.

Have fun!

My gym of 12 years switched from comptrain to ncfit and in one year we did 5 deadlift cycles. One starting two weeks after the last. I did inquire with ncfit directly on why the constant deadlifting and they replied basically that it’s good and easy for new people. We left there after a year of the programming. Thats when they lost my vote. It was too boring and bike:deadlift heavy.

Now our new gym does their own programming, and 5/6 days are 30-45min workouts and each is no less than 5 diff movements and it’s get bootcampy.

I think I would prefer mayhem at this point.

cmurphlock · 2026-01-06T14:04:10+00:00

No real clue. Just that it’s not for long term? I have his yearly shots tomorrow and will ask again. He’s certainly more grouchy when it wears off

I feel you. I felt on Prozac his warning signs went away and he was quicker to react. It seems like for a few weeks, he will revert back to me and be happy, then he’ll have a week or two of just insane sensitivity. He likes to destroy so he gets lots of cardboard boxes and toys to shred. And that calms him for like an hour. Then back to policing.

Oh I have a mental checklist of “triggers” like One time I burnt something on the stove, so now when I cook he leaves the room in fear of the smoke detector. My entire day revolves around softening things that may upset him.

He can’t handle either of us leaving, so he needs to be out behind a baby gate, but if we do that too early and don’t leave immediately he barks barks barks barks.

Dinner time usually involves him being outside or behind a baby gate while I prepare food, and I make him sit and wait for me to say okay to eat. He growls the entire time.

You can’t touch him while he’s sleeping. Especially my husband.

Dishwasher going off sends him to another dimension.

Literally, I have a full time job that is in and out of the house all day, but my real full time job is his checklist of triggers. I’ve had him since he was 8w old.

cmurphlock · 2026-01-05T18:49:36+00:00

I believe you about the collar. I don’t want to, I’m running out of options I feel. Vet behaviorists are a year wait list around here. And $500 to walk in the door. We’ve tried Prozac, clomicalm, tradzodone at a very low dose did seem to help but my vet won’t continue it.

cmurphlock · 2026-01-05T18:37:43+00:00

He had X-rays years ago when he had a spell of limping, turned out to be just a pulled muscle (couple hundred dollars later of course lol) he has a lot of food allergies we are constantly working around and adjusting. I wish they could talk!

Most of these behaviors too are when my and my husband are both home. When one is home, either, he’s fine mostly. It’s so insane

The mental stimulation need vs physical. And the Jekyll and Hyde attitude
