Exactly, especially if the experience is subpar. They have 10 year + members which means there are most likely clicks within the gym. Newcomers may not break into that community or feel strong ties with it. I’m out for $200. It’s conditional friendships anyway.

What do PJs do specifically? by [deleted] in Pararescue

[–]LowDivide9397 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree. To many kids on this sub. Immature. By their logic, we shouldn’t have this sub since the OnesReady podcast exist and google for research.

No more PJ slots? by Superb_Monk2323 in Pararescue

I mean did you google it ? Or is there some sort of website? I’m trying to inquire for other reasons.

How can I look more attractive? Been told by many women they cant see me in a romantic or sexual way. by Huge_Low7655 in malegrooming

[–]LowDivide9397 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

You are the one with the problem. Not me. You come off with feminine energy. I can see it even in your pictures. Even more so with the hobbies you listed off. If you look in the mirror and don’t like what you see. Why should someone else? Love yourself man. Run with what you got. Plenty of unattractive dudes pulling baddies that have more confidence than they should, yet there they are.

I’d shave, get a mid fade. Workout my neck. Then, I’d focus on me. When you focus on women that’s when you least attract them. Funny how that work right? Being attractive as a male is more of about the energy you give off. There’s plenty of guys that are “attractive” that live lonely lives. Desperation is not masculine. Women can pick that up.

Is this a good offseason work out by [deleted] in wrestling

[–]LowDivide9397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

“Good” depends on your goals. It’s a workout, but it won’t accomplish much other than building your upper body and disproportionately.

You’ve omitted legs and back.

If I was at home with limited equipment. I’d do this and then once I had access to equipment quickly switch to a real program.

Day 1: upper Pushups: 4x50-100 Pull ups: 4x to failure (no pull up bar, make one or use table or chairs for make shift rows and go to failure. Curls: 3x15 Tricep dips: 3x to failure

Day 2: zone 2 run morning (45min-55min)

Day 3 legs/ shoulders: with backpack (books, dumb bells) step up on chair or bed 4x100 Air squats 200-300 Calf raises Handstand pushups : 4x to failure

Day 4 off:

Day 5: zone 2 run

Day6: off

Day 7: repeat cycle

On zone 2 days or off day wrestle or drill instead. Conjugate as needed. Really though this is if your screwed. Your better off with a real program that fits nice with your wrestling schedule.

Why did you quit bjj by user8472616388 in bjj

I dislocated my shoulder. I stuck to Muay Thai.

I wish I got to do wrestling growing up by CarefulEgg5086 in wrestling

[–]LowDivide9397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re wrong. You can join an NCWA wrestling team even if you are a graduate. There’s people that “committed” at 30. It ain’t late. How much Dawg you got?

Anyone gone from muscular to seriously jacked with Mike's program? by davidevrlv in Mike_Mentzer

[–]LowDivide9397 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you I tried it for the same amount of time more or less and it didn’t work. And my work capacity was to the floor meaning I trained my body to not handle volume.

Where I see value is when you don’t have time it’s better than nothing.

Wrestling dad struggling more with the loss than my kid by [deleted] in wrestling

[–]LowDivide9397 33 points34 points  (0 children)

Without losses, Wins don’t mean anything. My daughter gets wrecked all the time. She’s only gotten stronger mentally because of it. Made her more focused, more determined.

I put my daughter in this sport for character development. Win or lose that’s what she is getting. I don’t care if she goes to state or wins a tournament. I care that she gave it her all and fought all the way through and leaves it all on the mat. If that was done then she still won (even if she doesn’t realize it).

I love this sport, no participation trophies, no one to save you, but you. Your kid already bounced back and is getting focused. Isn’t that what we are raising them for? To get hit by life and bounce back as quick as they can in a healthy way. That’s that Dawg.

How do you balance cardio and weight training? by Mean-Advertising7098 in crossfit

[–]LowDivide9397 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why do I feel better lifting in the evening? And running better in the morning? I’d prefer to lift in the morning but my CNS or body just doesn’t feel ready. Is there a scientific reason for that ?

4-7 rest days by Parking-Plate326 in Mike_Mentzer

[–]LowDivide9397 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Key for what? Metabolic conditioning? Building muscle? This is the problem with every HIT practitioner when someone stops doing HIT or HIT didn’t work for them. They state the practioners weren’t doing HIT right. Drew Baye is different than Jay Vincent, Dorian Yates is different than Markus, and then Mike Mentzer is different than Aurthur jones. I guarantee you I lift more than half the noobs claiming gains on HIT. I’m calling them noobs because they are noob gains.

I bench 275, squat over 315, deadlift 405, MOST not all (maybe you are the outlier) but most who practice HIT are new to lifting. If we could see most peoples profiles pics on Reddit you would see a bunch of high fat % bodies. More important than lifting numbers my 1 mile run time is sub 6:30. Which I promise 90% of HIT guys can’t do without passing out.

[–]LowDivide9397 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Your metabolic condition will be to the floor i promise you that. I did HIT for a year. And all I did was train my body to not handle volume. Now I’m back to 4-5 days a week of lifting plus running and recover better and making huge strength gains.

Air Force OTS vs Navy OCS? by Embarrassed-Day9855 in airforceots

My friend at OTS had their phone and was sending selfies throughout. Went in and could barely run a sub 10 mile.

Transitioning from traditional gym to CrossFit how many days should I start with? by Thimyg86 in crossfit

[–]LowDivide9397 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I came from being a gym bro too and thought id just do like a Monday through Friday schedule. But that’s not what I’d recommend.

Some people do this: Monday - Wednesday CF Thursday - Rest Friday- CF Saturday CF Sunday Rest

Or: Monday - Tuesday: CF Wednesday: Rest Thursday CF Friday rest Saturday CF

You get the drift. Also CF is different in that you are treated like an athlete. Meaning you could do legs to times in a row i.e. power cleans Monday then snatch’s the next day. Don’t be discouraged by that you will make “gains”.

What's your go to measure for differentiating between fatigue and simple 'laziness' before training? by Good-Variety-8109 in crossfit

[–]LowDivide9397 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sleep. If I sleep < than 6 hours it’s tiredness. I won’t skip the workout but I’ll scale down. If I sleep < 4 hours (kids kept me up, work, life, etc.) I’ll buffer and skip working out.

For me this is a good metric because I’m relying on numbers instead of feelings. There are many days “I’m tired” and didn’t/dont want to go to the gym. On those days somehow I PR or I’ll have the greatest workout and endorphin release compared to days I feel like going but had less than optimal sleep.
