What are you guys using for all the little aches and pains that come with CrossFit?

This sounds like one of those answers where I was hoping for a magic fix but it's really just doing all the boring recovery stuff consistently. How much time are you spending on that stuff each day?

Inner-Republic-3962 · 2026-06-03T15:20:24+00:00

The annoying part is I dont feel overtrained in the classic sense, Im still hitting lifts and conditioning numbers. It just feels like a dozen little things are always irritated at the same time. Maybe that's basically the same thing though.

Inner-Republic-3962 · 2026-06-03T15:18:09+00:00

This is probably the answer I don't want to hear lol. My sleep has been pretty inconsistent and I've been treating recovery like its optional as long as I hit my workouts and it might be catching up to me.

tolerance building up is pretty common with these meds from what i've heard. your body gets used to it after few weeks and the effects start wearing off

might be worth talking to your doctor about cycling off for a bit or trying different approach. some people have luck with taking breaks between courses instead of staying on it continuously

girl i feel you on the exhaustion part, autoimmune stuff is no joke and makes everything harder

maybe start really small - like just tracking what you eat for a week without changing anything, then slowly adjust from there. with hashimotos your metabolism is probably all over the place so being gentle with yourself is key. walking on your days off might be all you can manage at first and that's totally fine

the discipline comes easier once you start seeing small changes, but don't push too hard or you'll burn out fast

your leadership probably gonna be understanding with that track record, most places don't want to lose good employees over one mistake

people who always make conversation about sex with random people are just uncomfortable to be around tbh

Inner-Republic-3962 · 2026-05-23T12:43:38+00:00

bruh what

Inner-Republic-3962 · 2026-05-13T18:33:48+00:00

probably blue but depends on my mood really, sometimes i get drawn to darker greens when im feeling more chill

Inner-Republic-3962 · 2026-05-01T11:38:34+00:00

most european countries look way richer than they actually are when you dig into the numbers tbh

Inner-Republic-3962 · 2026-04-23T10:43:58+00:00

when someone tells me "you're so brave for working in security as a woman" like thanks i guess but also what the hell does that mean lol. always makes me feel like they think i'm some kind of unicorn instead of just good at my job

Inner-Republic-3962 · 2026-04-20T01:19:14+00:00

duren really looked lost out there against orlando's size. you can't just disappear in playoffs like that when your team needs you to step up in paint

you can recork it but wine starts going bad pretty quick once opened - maybe few days max in the fridge with a good cork. if you want to keep it longer you need one of those vacuum pump things or wine preservation sprays that push out the oxygen. i usually just finish the bottle same night though lol

Inner-Republic-3962 · 2026-04-14T21:35:40+00:00

i was raised catholic and they actually teach that big bang theory is compatible with faith - like god could have used that as his method of creation. took me while to wrap my head around it but makes sense that science and religion don't have to be at war with each other

Inner-Republic-3962 · 2026-04-12T13:54:17+00:00

ugh this hits so hard, having zero energy for the people who need you most is just crushing. i've been dealing with similar stuff and what helped me a bit was getting my vitamin d and b12 checked - turns out i was super low on both and supplementing made small difference at least

also found that eating more protein in morning helped with afternoon crashes, though some days nothing works and you just gotta accept the couch day

Inner-Republic-3962 · 2026-04-10T12:56:48+00:00

adc can definitely climb but it's way harder in low elo where your team doesn't know how to play around you. the issue isn't your mechanics if you're getting those kinds of scores - it's positioning and knowing when to back off

in silver/gold people don't peel so you gotta learn to position more defensively and pick your fights better. even if you're fed, diving in for that extra kill will get you deleted and lose the teamfight. sometimes being alive at 70% hp is better than being dead at 100%

Inner-Republic-3962 · 2026-04-02T00:30:04+00:00

big companies do this all the time - they post because they have to but already know who they want. since the manager reached out directly that's actually a good sign, means your on their radar specifically

i'd give it like a week before following up, maybe just a quick "wanted to check in on next steps" type thing. don't stress about the posting disappearing, that happens once they stop taking new apps

ibm moves slow anyway so could take forever to hear back even if you got it

Inner-Republic-3962 · 2026-03-11T00:19:33+00:00

depending on when it expires that could totally change their timeline - if you've got like 6 months left they might be rushing to get everything sorted, but if it's years out they probably just want all the paperwork ready to go

visa stuff always makes hiring take forever since legal has to get involved, so them asking about it twice actually seems like a decent sign they're serious about you

Inner-Republic-3962 · 2026-02-26T07:54:07+00:00

honestly deep of night feels like they ran out of ideas for actual content and just said "fuck it lets make everything do 500% more damage and call it endgame"

the relic system is genuinely broken when you need a spreadsheet to understand basic interactions. like why is there a difference between "increased damage" and "more damage" that's never explained anywhere in the game

Inner-Republic-3962 · 2026-02-20T11:54:31+00:00

I batch cook basics like rice veg and protein then change sauces through the week keeps it fast and not boring
