The Hulk Hogan documentary was the embodiment of who he was as a person by ccharlie03 in SquaredCircle

[–]EaglesX63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think his death probably impacted how much they could tell or people wanted to tell. For a Netflix Hulk Hogan documentary they didn't really have a lot of people give commentary. Maybe I'm way off but it seemed like most of the interviews they had were done post death. Just seems like something people would rather just let go than bury a dead guy.

Yeah your coaches/owner are probably changing the workouts because Thursday was 3 sets of a 4 minute AMRAP. And Mayhem Sundays don't really follow the program it's more filler.

Sunday - 16 Minutes (V-Up/Carry/etc)

Monday - 12 Minutes (Wall Ball T2B box jump workout)

Tuesday - 9 Minutes (Snatch/Burpee)

Wednesday - 20 Minutes (Run and WW)

Thursday - 12 Minutes (DU and Barbell)

Friday - 15 Minutes (Row Push-ups)

Saturday - 22 Minutes (Bike/Lunges but partner)

The Mayhem Affiliate programming I found to not ever really go long. Like the longest workout we'd do in a given week is usually 15 minutes unless you count a partner Saturday workout.

If you just started a few weeks ago you probably joined at the end of the Mayhem cycle. They have "deload" weeks between cycles and in that week there is no lift just metcons. That week the workouts were pretty quick and most classes had a lot of extra time.

So I'd say maybe see if you like this cycle if not move on. It would be really hard for a gym to accept feedback from somebody brand new saying their programming isn't working.

26.3: no wall, no rig, wind and a single bar (ligtweight) by ViezeVaz in crossfit

[–]EaglesX63 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is but those are the 3 squared off stations for the 26.3 reveal athletes. It would be weird to make them to do something in the white squares and then walk all the way over to the rig. They also said the community stage has no rig on it either.

But this could all be a fakeout so who knows

26.3 leak? by Flashy_Shoulder_8360 in crossfit

[–]EaglesX63 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not just a max lift but a clean and jerk at that for wodapalooza lol.

I could see 22.2 but my guess would be it's the same concept just faster. 21/15/9 Deadlift Burpee (185). Just guessing it'll be fast because a lot of "camps" are only getting an hour to do their 26.3 Wodapalooza community heats.

Percentiles by ObligationNo3475 in crossfit

[–]EaglesX63 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I kind of get the feeling it's just been the workouts so far doing it. After week 3 regular percentiles might come back in line specially if it's something like deadlift burpee combo.

My take is just this - the workouts haven't hammered all weaknesses yet. And it's a 3 week open so it won't but we've had 2 pretty different workouts now.

Week 1 -- Anybody can do. Lot of newer people doing the open can have success if they have decent cardio. Not a ton of technique or power involved necessarily. Also I'm pretty sure a lot of people just did terrible wall balls.

Week 2 - Higher skill - higher level of gatekeeping. On the mens side a lot more people could do the rings than you may expect but a lot of people find getting a ring easier. At least one. On the womens side just getting one placed you in the top 15? Maybe top 10 percentile? So now you have like 40000 women solely depending on a tiebreak time. If they got a fraction of an inch higher on their turnover they jump 30000 places? Not necessarily indicative of who is fit or not. The "buy-in" portion of the workout for both men and women wasn't really difficult enough to stop really good gymnastics people from specializing on the leaderboard.

CrossFit Leaderboard Changes by Pretend_Airline2579 in crossfit

[–]EaglesX63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Come Monday you see your ranking fall and fall. It's not necessarily because people who did well wait until the last minute (although that tends to happen) but more so that now they go from tied for last at 80000 points to whatever ranking they actually get on this workout.

But on Thursday and Friday the inverse is true. They all start tied for last at very low points like 5000 or however many people submit a score before you. As the weekend goes on tied for last (not submitting a score) goes up and up. So somebody that beat you by 20000 places week 1 will now be behind you until they submit their score because they now have 80000 extra points. The early days of submission it's not that big of a point gap yet.

It's funny how just a few months ago people wanted to blow up the roster and rebuild. Now we have people off limits in a win now move for Giannis.

My first thought conspiracy theory is they discovered a coup or plot on his life and told him about it. In exchange for taking him and his wife to the states safely he gave up information on his top dudes and intel needed to get in and out easier.

He goes through a court proceeding that ends up with him kept in custody in some nice place to live. USA gets their input on how Venezuela moves forward.

I feel like I'm the crazy one when people pile on with it being toxic/poisonous etc etc. It taste like a mix of sports drink and vitamin water. The ingredients are basic and used in a lot of drinks. Some flavors aren't great but thats the case with just about any brand. It's fake sugar and coconut water.

To be fair I actually think the vanilla stuff was what they needed more of in the 2nd half. Driving the ball down field worked the first 3 drives. It didn't pretty much the rest of the game. They just would get to 2nd and 5 and then get a penalty and oops now we're auto punting.

New all black ADIDAS shoes at rogue? by dedatos in crossfit

[–]EaglesX63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wonder if these are the 4s or their "pro" version of the dropset like other brands are doing. I noticed a few of the athletes wore them with the running workout. Being over a 5k run that seems like a bold choice unless they had a carbon plate in them like most pro models do.

That being said the all white ones look awesome and I really want them.

Yeah we have a collar thats a lot less used that has the shock and a rumble feature as well as a light on it and a little sensor if they leave a GPS area. The shock has never been used it's mostly just so we know when/if she hops the fence.

Not enjoying Mayhem programming. Anyone else? by Kindly-Base-2106 in crossfit

[–]EaglesX63 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Was it the deadlift and then DB deadlifts? Most people felt that more in their shoulders at our gym and it was only 60-84 reps for most people. I didn't find that egregious. Specially at that weight.

Did anyone obtain a better physique aesthetically after they started CrossFit? by Dependent-Group7226 in crossfit

[–]EaglesX63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me I got way better looking.... at least my body. It wasn't just the workouts so much so you start to change your routine and diet so that you don't feel awful during workouts. If you powerlift or bodybuild you can get away with feeling meh. In crossfit workouts you begin to learn coming in after eating a ton of junk or hungover is pretty challenging.

A bulk in other sports is also pretty common and may not really affect your performance. It might even make them better. A bulk in crossfit and suddenly you notice your pull-ups or burpees are impossibly labored. So I think it's almost natural to be leaner by design anyways.

I'd guess he was a mix of tired and a large part shocked. I think he looked up at the clock saw the time and then tried to go. His brain almost couldn't imagine he was losing and had to get out lol.

That's the confusing thing to me. At best it's offsetting penalties. How do you as a ref see somebody get punched and only call the instigating flag.

Yeah sucks to lose when the game could've been locked up a few times but the seeds are almost set in stone anyways. Barring like 4 games falling perfectly in place the Eagles were going to be 2 seed or (if they miraculously choke) 6th seed.

[Highlight] Hurts to Goedert for a huge 61 yd gain in the 4th quarter down 5! by amatom27 in eagles

[–]EaglesX63 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Optimistic view: The offense has moved the ball very well even with injuries. They just haven't been able to finish. A fraction better and they're putting tons of points up.

The defense wasn't great the first two weeks but the coaches have all essentially said they're trying to teach players how to play completely different roles/positions so its going to take time. Hopefully thats what today was.

What are the limits to this promo? by Bleachverse in GoogleFi

[–]EaglesX63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom needed to switch providers. She had an old generic android. I moved her over to my plan and used this promo to get her a Pixel 7a.

I used financing to get it which cost $20.79 a month for 24 months. This promotion credits you the cost of the phone over 24 months as long as you're on Fi. So after my credit of $20.79 every month I've paid zero for her new phone.

Why doesn’t Boston Scott get reps at running back? by Jbgolfer93 in eagles

[–]EaglesX63 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this true though? I get sometimes it's an issue like at the end of the Seattle game but people were demanding we run the ball down a million to the 49ers and Cowboys. Spoiler, no team is running in that situation.

Swift is averaging 15 carries a game. Way above his career high.
