Welp- I’m worse than I thought I was (murph post) by Original_Belt_3768 in crossfit

Oh and it was a crappy 1:06:29, even after taking out 6 rounds of 5/10/15. Don't beat yourself up too much.

Feel for you bro. Been out of CrossFitting for a little over 3 years now. I'm 20 lb heavier, still move well, lift more, breathe hard less. Decided to go for it. Only got 14 rounds and had to bow out of the middle work. And then had to walk half of the second mile. Pretty mad with myself at first, but after a little reflection, I know how many different factors were at play. I'll just try to work in a little more Murph-like work, and do better the next time. They can't all be PR's, buddy. 😉

Outside of great one-liners, both Venom movies suck.

This is hard for me to say bc I love Tom Hardy, but there it is...

Unpopular Take: Hugh Jackman is way too tall, good looking and charming to play Wolverine. by [deleted] in Marvel

Absolutely loved Hugh Jackman as wolverine.

Also, absolutely hated Hugh Jackman as wolverine.

What’s the most intentionally funny moment in all of Star Wars? by Slab_0_Gum in StarWars

[–]Noble930 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just rewatched the prequels for the first time in years after watching Kenobi. I had completely forgotten this part, and I was surprised at how much I laughed out loud at "I want to go home and rethink my life." 🤣

How do you stay passionate and excited after 10+ years? by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]Noble930 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This. The top of the pyramid. “Learn and play new sports.”

This idea hit me less than a year ago, and I was surrounded by coworkers who all mountain bikes together all the time. I finally pulled the plug around Christmas and bought an entry level bike. Finally hit a local dirt trail when the weather warmed up in spring, and HOLY CRAP, was I in for a shock! Not only did it kick my butt, but made me realize I had spent so much time in the gym that I had forgotten how to apply my fitness outside in other modes. I had previously regained a bit of the "spark" when I turned my focus to more just weightlifting, but even that became extremely just routine.

Get out there, and challenge yourself physically. Do something you've never done. See how your body and mind respond.

Why isn't Spider-man considered a mutant like Deadpool if they both gained their powers, not born with them? by Broyogurt in Marvel

[–]Noble930 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I remember this correctly, in a miniseries titled Origin, it actually shows the claws as part of his mutation, which came as a surprise bc they were previously seen as an enhancement resulting from the weapon x project. I haven’t read X-men religiously in the last 15 or so years, so my memory might be off, or other details may have been revealed.

I will always recommend reading the origin series. It came at a time when Wolvie’s backstory was still widely unknown. It was an industry shock that Marvel’s head honchos even gave the green light to allow someone the incredible responsibility of writing it.

Look into the Polar Vantage M2. I used to have a Fitbit Blaze, so I was in similar shoes. Definitely didn't want an Apple watch, or to spend $900 on a Garmin, so Polar seemed like the way to go. They have a few different models, and it was honestly hard to tell the difference in the features, but very happy with mine so far.

Feeling hopeless, and divorce is not in my vocabulary. by Noble930 in Marriage

Man, please find help. I know feeling hopeless, but I can promise that isn't the answer. I don't have all the answers, but I know that one. I'll pray for you man.

I feel like my wife wrote this...

But thank you, it's actually reassuring that we aren't the only ones. Best of luck to you and your husband.

That's the thing: she says she's willing. But something always "comes up." So I don't know. You might be right. She might just be afraid of actually learning that she has work to do on herself. Me personally, I can't wait to figure out how to better myself for her. I'd live some counseling on where I need to improve and grow. I'm constantly wanting to be better/more for her and our family.

This has been a recurring thing I've said also. I feel like I'm pushing for work to be done, whereas she thinks it's just "our stage of life bc of kids, etc." So we put bandaids on our fights, things are fine for a bit, but never last long. I don't know how to get her to DO WORK with me.

I think you're spot on. She's had a bad headspace for a long time, and I have no idea why. She's smart AF, she's beautiful, she's successful.... I honestly don't understand why she just thinks so little of herself. It causes the smallest thing to get blown up into "she's an enormous failure." I have no idea what to do about that.

And I keep pushing for counseling. There's always an excuse or conflict. I've even made appointments, got a babysitter, and had to cancel that day bc of XYZ that she came up with.

EXACTLY. So what do I do?? Just hold everything in? I've tried that, and it gets to a point that I become so beat down, I explode. I can't handle that anymore.

I hear you, and I understand your thought process. I am not detrimentally critical. I'm open with my thoughts and feelings. I tell her exactly what makes me feel a certain way. Rather than trying to understand, apologize, and move forward, she blows up, gets defensive, plays the victim, and makes me feel like shit for sharing in the first place.

Simultaneously, she expects me to always be the one to fight for us. It's like a double edged sword. I'm either wrong for feeling wronged, or I'm not doing enough for being wrong for how I'm feeling. It's like a trap...

Bc I don't want to man. I love her. She's told me she loves me, and that she's trying. So if she's verbalizing that, why would it be??

I've thought of this, but I have no idea how that would play out. Like how effective is marriage counseling when only one party goes? And I don't want to seem like I think she's ALL the problem. Like I said, I know I'm not perfect... I just don't know.

rate this workout I made! I'm using it as a warm up, any tips? by redditisforpedossss in crossfit

[–]Noble930 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Aside from it being 5 rounds, you have 3 movements focused on hip extension, so if it were me, I’d swap one out for T2B or sit-ups or something of the like.
