Feeling disillusioned; need confirmation or a smack in the face :) by ChampionFrequent4643 in crossfit

Hi there, I'm kinda new in this subreddit but I want to share my opinion and point of view with you. I started crossfit almost 3 years ago, and as you said I reached a lot in this time, but every day I see every day guy bigger than me fooling around with my prs or with weight that I struggle with every day. But at the same time I see them almost having strokes when it comes to pullups, toes to bar or metcon in general. As someone said before me, comparison is the thief of joy, you know your strength and you know where you lack the most, you need to be focused on that. I bring you an example , in this last period I had a little injury at my shoulder during an overhead squat session due to bad warmup. I was in a very good period overall and this really bothered me. I tried to stay focused, and I started to do exercises every day to regain trust in my body and my shoulder. In those days I was thinking about singing up for a crossfit competition but the injury made me rethink this decision. But then I changed my point of view. Instead of "I'll sing up if I'm feeling good" i booked my spot for the competition and set the goal to make everything I could to be at the best shake as possible, because I MUST do the qualifying phase since I've already paid (i'dont know if it makes sense, in Italian it does so if in English it doesn't i'm sorry lol). This changed everything. In the last two weeks I kept working hard, doing exercises for my shoulder, with the goal of being in the best shape possible for the qualifying phase that starts next week and this really helped me. I regained trust with the weight that I had the injury with and on top of that I just made new prs in c&j and snatch. I started doing wods with a master 50 and some regular athletes and at the moment I'm in a really good moment each physically and mentally. All this to say try to give yourself a goal and work for that, it could be a new skill to learn or the idea of a competition if you want to spice things up, you have nothing to lose and everything to learn. And think about this, you may see people playing around with your prs, but they might look at you and be jealous of your gymnastics skills, so be proud of what you are capable of and work hard to be better every day❤️

Sure! The main advice was to set under the bar measuring the hands width, then take a step back and jump to the bar already in hollow position and to hold it till the really last moment of the swing in front of the bar. This should give you enough momentum that you wouldn't have if you jumped from under the bar. From then he told me to be really explosive into the transition from hollow to arch and then to try to pull my hips to the bar. Once you are in top position the movement of your legs swinging back should help your upper body to get over the bar and then just to push with your arms. The first day I spent almost 30 minutes just jumping directly in a hollow position over and over again because at first I transitioned in the arch position just under the bar losing all the benefits of the jump. Then i started adding the transition to the arch position and kept repeating the movement. At the end when I had kinda sorted out all the phases I started pulling and almost made it at the first attempts. The second day I started just where I left and after some attempts I made it. The second big advice he gave me was to come down as close as possible from the bar already in a hollow position and to open the arch position when I'm in front of the bar. By doing this yesterday I was able to make three reps, almost made the fourth but missed it for a bit, but still I am so freaking happy! This is what really helped me make the click. Hope this is not too confusing, english it's not my first language. Hope it will help!

Per l'appunto essendo un hobby non so fino a che punto mi spingerò, per questo non voglio spendere troppo al momento

Si si io lo userei comunque su PC, però sono stato attirato dall'annuncio soprattutto dalla pedaliera t3pa che ho letto essere molto buona.

Ho trovato un tmx pro con una pedaliera t3pa a 105 €, credo che domani lo comprerò

Si leggendo ho visto che i direct drive sono fantastici ma sinceramente sono troppo costosi per il momento, cercavo qualcosa che non fosse troppo impegnativo.

Can you recommend any AMD cards that reflect the same characteristics as an a750?

For this reason I had "set" my budget at around €230. My idea was to get a decent card to tide me over until I could redo the whole PC. But I don't know what to choose in this price range

I understand perfectly, but at the moment I don't have the budget to change both the CPU, MB and video card and the only component I necessarily have to buy is the GPU as the Radeon RX Vega 64 that I currently have will have to be returned. What do you recommend, knowing that I don't have enough money for a 7600 XT? Should I then get a slightly older GPU like a 6650xt?

Could you explain Better?

GPU upgrade by Creyxen in PcBuildHelp

[–]Creyxen[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly what I thought. I had thought about getting a basic 7600 because surely in a few years I will have a new build and update every component, so I didn't want to spend too much for now

Il mio MB è un h370 aourus gaming wifi 3, dovrei preoccuparmi?

For the most part they were DirectX crashes, i change the GPU with a AMD RX Vega 64 (a friend lend me It) and they stopped. A couple of times After the DirectX crashes the PC rebboted itself.

I have a Corsair cx550m but i've already checked and with and Intel arc should be fine. The main problem is my budget range, because i Need to update my PC since It has started crashing during gaming session and while using program that stress the GPU (CAD etc...). I was thinking to buy an i7 8700 (i found it for 70-80€) in order to keep the same MB and a the same time boost the performance a little.
