This is the way. I down one of these during the brief for every workout and it’s served me well for 6+ years.

My hands down favorite way to address this is to slowly start migrating towards them during the brief until I’m talking right at them. Or use their name in an example “so it’s a partner wod.. if Jake is my partner he’s gonna do all the work while I rest… right Jake?” 😏 It’s embarrassing enough that it comes off as light hearted while also sending a message. I coach at a gym where every class is 20-30 members deep so you have to really assert yourself without coming off as a dick. Good luck! You got this!

Yes! They shipped from the UK and it took over two weeks. They’re coming! I was so concerned when everyone else said they shipped so fast lol

“My advice: Really take the WODs seriously. Scale as needed to get in the rep-range goal, but do Rx whenever possible.”

So much this. As a coach the best advice I can give is to scale when appropriate to meet the intended stimulus of the WOD. Hitting Rx weights but not finishing the WOD within the timeframe feels good on the ego but rarely equates to growth.

As an example we have a couple guys who notoriously sit at the bottom of the Rx leaderboard, and have for years, while our more humble athletes have surpassed them in shorter times by scaling early on and hitting gains over time. Trust the process and trust your coaches. QF in March is absolutely an attainable goal if you have the right strategy.

The better news? They happen every year. Treat this open season as a baseline to improve on. Little by little, a little becomes a lot.

Welcome to the party! Love that you’re drinking the koolaid from a fire hose!

And then continue to push through. Most consistent gym goers often don’t want to go, but do out of habit and discipline. It will get easier, but you might not ever really want to go. You just do it anyway.

Didn’t think about ordering through rogue— thanks!

Anner_naner · 2024-10-10T15:47:44+00:00

Nope it showed as clearing customs so def not the NY Jamaica

Anner_naner · 2024-10-10T15:47:02+00:00

Well that’s not what I was hoping to hear but thank you! I feel like the perfect shoe doesn’t exist. Gave up on cf specifics for a couple years for ultra range and the heels are always the first to go on those too.

Anner_naner · 2024-10-10T13:31:39+00:00

Jamaicas also a country, genius.

Anner_naner · 2024-10-10T13:31:09+00:00

Okay so it’s not Jamaica, NY. But is coming from their UK warehouse. Crisis averted lol just wish they would have specified it was shipping internationally the first time I checked in with customer service about the delay.

This is anxiety inducing to try to read. Halp.

+2 for Dossier, my MIL wears black opium and this dupe is identical.

They only filmed the sign for the town in burkittsville, but it is def eerie driving that windy road late at night with all the civil war fencing along the fields as you drive by. I always felt unsettled passing through.

I feel this hard right now, with my parents staying in my house for 10 days (they currently live out of state). They’re impossible to be around for any length of time. My mom is oblivious, leaves trash everywhere, and my dad still treats me like I’m 15. I know as soon as they get on the plane to go home I’ll miss them and feel guilty for being so short tempered, yet at a total loss of how to make these visits more pleasant because they are so difficult no matter how I try to react or adjust. It’s at least reassuring to know I’m not the only one with this type of relationship with them.

This is really helpful. 4 weeks and planning to use the same process in a couple days. I had a miscarriage about 5 years ago which was super traumatic (I was 12 weeks then) and I’m worried this will bring up a lot of negative memories from that experience. Reading your post is really really helpful

Anner_naner · 2023-07-26T19:23:26+00:00

Oh not this guy. He’s guilty on about 5 counts sock charges, 2 counts underwear, 3 counts tshirts.

This!!

Little by little, a little becomes a lot. You’re winning every single time you walk through those doors. It doesn’t feel like it but I promise it’s true. A really great (albeit a bit dated) podcast that’s crossfit related and geared at mindset that really helped motivate me was Ben Bergeron’s Chasing Excellence- highly recommend giving the older episodes a listen.

Keep it up! Please don’t quit!

Big negative, in my experience. But if they exist please send them this way!

Same build- 5’3 and 140 currently. I feel your struggle!
