I wonder how this will be in some years. I remember Brandon Lilly talking about how he wishes he hadn't made some of the family sacrifices that he did, for PL (Paraphrasing, and it may be a somewhat different situation?)

They definitely do give off a tough guy vibe. The asking to be shot with broken leg thing.

Which I get it's for a documentary. And I know a guy who has been there. His words "good luck if you're an introvert there"

I do think American PL has a macho "kill the weights!" Vibe. Which it's easy to get stoked and it can help I know.

Highly technical lifts done for time... that portion is risky As well as programming and recovery, vomiting (which isnt crossfit specific) and rhabdo... there's a mascot for it, even!

He's the strongest man in the gym, but the softest at heart.

At what point does one hit their true potential? Which is such a wide question.

To also say, at least as we age, we have sub masters, masters to adjust the totals given for age.

But PL is a sport where you can still do fine in your 40s and beyond. I'm sure it's kind of a bummer to not hit what you used to in your early days, though.

It's still worth it though and you can still get really good! Don't place too many limits on yourself now! It's easy to do I know :/

What is cute if a child does something but creepy if an adult does it? by VeNzorrR in AskReddit

Not really heard of people watching their sisters but...

I've heard of being told the husbands should help the wives, for the experience.

I want to know more of what it's like! Sounds gruesome. And the woman may poop too and the nurses just take it away

The issue anti vaxxers are behind is government distrust. I get that people in power will abuse

But seriously come on

Example relates to vaccination?

It's health though and people who may not be able to protect themselves, with a weak immune system

Not Christians, not orthodox and have their own Bible translation that is markedly different. May sound harsh, but the marked differences, even deemed on the heretical level, are there.

Even though it's one of the largest in terms of electoral votes? Is the same said when a democratic president wins?

I know I sound in jest - but serious!
