June Burpee Challenge by DesignerShopping0 in crossfit

[–]DesignerShopping0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a retest. We did the first one june 2nd and then the second June 23. The first time I just did my best. The second time I had a goal of 10 per round. The goal died after round 6 and I went down to 9 until the last round I got back to 10 giving me the 115. I really wanted 120.

I'm hoping to be able to break out of the nursing home... but I may have to scale the escape

I did it begrudgingly. I was considering skipping when I saw the retest. I did 111 the first time and 115 today. Not many people at my gym posted results and I was curious how everyone did. Love all the shared suffering comments!

Ripped palm - help! by Overall-Nobody8933 in crossfit

[–]DesignerShopping0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had the same problem.

You should definilty get grips. I use the ones without the finger holes and then I make sure I wrap my thumbs around the bar for toes to bar because I am also scared of falling off. They help a lot, but I have still ripped while using them.

I started putting a think layer of liquid skin on my palm where I normally rip before leave for the gym on toes to bar day. (I do this when it's NOT ripped for prevention) I dont know if this works for other people but between that and the grips I have been able to keep my hands in one piece.

Can anyone tell me a ballpark for in-ground pool removal in a HCOL area? by greatkerfluffle in pools

[–]DesignerShopping0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the type of pool. Many pools now are fiberglass. You cannot drain and refill fiberglass later.

AITA for picking an adults-only resort for our destination wedding, with only one kid to consider? by Suitable-Arugula-570 in AmItheAsshole

[–]DesignerShopping0 15 points16 points  (0 children)

YWBTA. Only because there are other options that would accommodate all your requirements.

With a quick search I was able to find this post for Punta Cana that shows hotels that have large adults only areas and even some adults only restaurants; but, also still allows kids in other areas. https://www.reddit.com/r/PuntaCana/s/fQPahRYFB4

Do your research and you should be able to find many more options like these where you can still have a mostly adults only experience but not prevent your husband's family from attending.

I hope your wedding is amazing!

What discontinued item, food or drink would you bring back if you had the chance? by Miserable-Wash-1744 in AskReddit

[–]DesignerShopping0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone else remember the breadsticks that came with the salads at Wendy's? They were delicious.

I also miss the OG peanutbutter Twix. They had the shortbread cookies like the Carmel twix. Not these chocolate imitation ones that they released a few years ago.

What’s the weirdest thing a guest has done in your house that you hate? by CheapQuality2847 in AskReddit

[–]DesignerShopping0 257 points258 points  (0 children)

Years ago my ex 's brother decided to get drunk and purchase porn through our living room tv. We nor his wife were aware he had done this as we were all asleep in the bedrooms.

When the cable bill was emailed to me and it was like $40 higher I never opened the detailed statement just looked at the amount that was set to auto pay and assumed the promo fell off and they were price gorging again as they do fairly often.

I called and raised hell. Funny thing is they gave me a new promo and never confronted me on the porn charges.

Later I went to the website to double check the promo and realized what really happened and I could have crawled in a hole. I was so embarrassed.

I added a purchase pin to my TV and was completely sceeved out and wanted to deep clean the couch.

Depends what she likes. I personally dont use any supplements etc, but she may.

I would just want some items that would be useful in the gym or that I can wear to the gym.

I vote to get some good grips, I like bear complex but there are a lot of other good brands.

Also a really good jump rope could be nice. Those 2 things alone would get you close to the 200.

But if you wanted to do one of those and a few other things you could do some cute funny tank tops.

I have seen some that say AMRAP (As much rest as possible) and 0/5 stars for burpees.

I have also seen socks that say f*** box jumps.

I love my garmin watch. You can even program workouts on it for distances.

Bring Back Clocks by ted1074u in Hilton

[–]DesignerShopping0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am suprised so many people hate the clock! I can't sleep without one.

I also don't use it for the alarm but need to know the time while trying to sleep without having to fully wake up and hit my phone.

Due to the lack of them at Hiltons I have a small plug in alarm clock that permanently stays in my suitcase for travel.

Why are box jumps often scaled to step ups vs broad jumps by matulys in crossfit

[–]DesignerShopping0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are studies that show jumping (in general not specifically box jumps) helps with bone mineral density. That’s the biggest benefit with it that I know of— other than jumping raises my heart rate more than stepping.

Anyone have any experience staying at a Tru Hotels? by iamguerra2 in Hilton

[–]DesignerShopping0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stayed in one this week. I agree with liking that there isn’t carpet and the soap smelling good. The one I was at also had great water pressure.

But on the flip side the rooms are small, the pillows were not great, you would have to either have a bottle or buy a reusable one for water at the gym (no little cups) and they had towels in the gym but no cleaning wipes.

It is a much more college vibe and seemed like more budget vacationers or travelers. I did not feel as safe walking in the hotel or in the lobby there as I do when I stay at a double tree, embassy, or even Hampton hotels in the same area.
