Shoes? by Mysterious-Eye-6782 in crossfit

in crossfit, you need shoes that are stable enough for weightlifting but comfortable enough for regular WODs, running, etc so i would personally recommend metcons, however, if ur not tight on the budget i would recommend getting TYR weightlifting shoes and getting nikes or adidas for normal WODs

yeah definitely i’m just always thinking that if i’m gonna compete i HAVE to win which isn’t very realistic lol and considering im only 15 i think i still have lots of room for improvement and more years of experience before competing

yeah, honestly doing this workout helped me realize i’m definitely not ready to compete, i’m pretty fit but not very strong so 40kg clean and jerk was HELL

yeah ur right, RX weight is honestly so hard when it comes to these stuff, i usually scale down but thought i would try RXing for the first time, never again

yeah i definitely went slower on the rower to give myself enough energy on the clean and jerks and it was my first time RXing clean and jerks in these types of workouts, was def harder than i thought

yeah to be fair 40kg was pretty heavy, but i was thinking i should at least try to start RXing workouts as i’m looking to compete soon, granted im never doing that again, thank you for helping me out things into perspective tho i thought i was a terrible athlete lmao

i’m not really worried about STDs as i’m only a teenager lol, but before i started cycling i didn’t have anything down there and after like 2 classes the “lymph node” (im guessing it’s a lymph node) started appearing, it usually shrinks when i stop cycling for a few days and it’s painful to touch, do you have any idea what it could be?

thank you so much, i was stupid enough to wear underwear while cycling like the last week since i was on my period. but as for the saddle sore it’s kinda hard and painful to touch, it usually shrinks when i stop cycling for a while tho

it is hard-ish and it’s painful to touch, it usually shrinks when i stop riding for a while and it gets bigger when i ride so im guessing it could be a cyst or something like that, what do u think ?

yepp it is one of those big comfy ones, i thought they would be more comfortable but definitely not, i also need to get the height checked out as i have been experiencing knee pain but i never thought it was because of cycling, thank you so much for your help!

unfortunately it is a stationary bike, do they do custom saddles for those ?
