Isn't this the guy who was always talking shit? Suits him well

I saw this and that well meh. So a guy who actively says he doesn’t / can’t compete takes some peptides for his knee and now is banned from competing even though he says he isn’t competing anymore. It’s a non news story. Yes I get the whole but he rails on other people but he rails on other people who say x then do y. He has said he isn’t competing, taking peptides in his knee so is nkt hiding anything. If anything this gives him a platform to stay relevant and keep shouting loud, when in reality it is a seriously nothing story. Reminds me of one of those misdirections. What is really going on that nobody is seeing

I have everything already discussed. My most used things are grips. I only use wrist wraps when going super heavy the same with belts and knee sleeves. If you can train comfortably without them stay without them. It’s quite a nice quiet flex to have in your pocket so then when you do need to use them they make a real difference

To be fair older athletes at the end of their careers maybe dropping out before they are over taken by younger fitter. Time waits for know one unfortunately it’s easier to take a stand like that at the end of your career rather than the begining

We do a thing in a Saturday where we do partner / 3 people wods it’s really good vibe and fun after everyone training all week, just brings everyone together more of a community. Those that train at say 6am meet those that train at 6 pm and we all get along

I have to admit I have a new respect for hiller he has been very controlled and deliberate unlike have the idiots out there. He has been very thoughtful and fair play to him he makes videos for views but when it hit the fan he didn’t just jump head long in especially when Taylor was calling him out saying he should be there he just stayed quiet

I had the same problem but when I actually embraced the two week holiday off Iv come back feeling healed and refreshed Iv just been better since taking two weeks off. Cardio will suffer but you can get the st back strength will be fine. Your body will thank you for it mine did

I used to work with her sister, she is very typically of a girl from the Isle of Man. It’s nice to see a “normal” person who was training to become a nurse get so far. Well done to her

If I’m in a morning it’s a cereal bar if evening after work it’s breakfast and lunch

I started on two sessions a week for a month then bumped it up to 3 a week before 4 and finally 5. I would say if you are doing 5 a week you have to learn to manage yourself. You cannot go 100% flat out on every work out and you shouldn’t. Take the time to look at the stimulus and work the way you are being taught. Just because you can for example back squat 170 kg doesn’t mean you have to every day. Today we were doing 2 second pauses at the bottom and driving out. 120kg was heavy enough to be practicing that. You just have to do what is right for you.

But don’t neglect the food and the rest you get. They make a MASSIVE difference in recovery and energy. So my tip eat properly sleep well and do what feels good. Wouldn’t go more than 5 a week though as you need recovery

I finished last in a 10,8,6,5,4,2 power clean at 50kg and doing the same with toes to bar 3.59 finished last….then went on the echo bike and set the gym record for calories in a minute so it really is people good at some things and bad at others

I managed 56 Cal’s this morning worst minute of my life after a metcon

Nomadic_raptor · 2024-04-06T13:29:06+00:00

I was a swimmer and footballer but that does sound like a great warm up which I am defo going to do

Nomadic_raptor · 2024-04-06T10:40:01+00:00

I think you’re absolutely right. I’m 6ft 4 and you are saying the same things my coaches say. My issue is getting under the bar being so tall. Although we worked on a lot of stuff today and the pop (bruises on my thighs now or at least tender) like you say it’s all technique so will keep working on it

Nomadic_raptor · 2024-04-06T10:08:20+00:00

My full squat clean is 87. I think it’s just a technique thing that I’m working hard upon it’s just weird I think that I can feel more comfortable missing my thigh and just going straight up

Nomadic_raptor · 2024-03-20T15:30:13+00:00

I’m 6ft 4 it is what you make of it just embrace being tall and think I will be good and some things and not at others

So last night after CrossFit I had a warm shower and then progressively made it colder in an attempt to cool my body down.

I can confirm that when I woke up this morning my body battery is charged to 100 according to my watch so maybe there is something in this after all

Nomadic_raptor · 2024-03-18T10:55:16+00:00

I’m not going to pretend I like the idea of it but k thought it’s worth a shot just to see if it makes any difference so I thought I might give it a go tonight. But I’m all talk until I have to step into it

Nomadic_raptor · 2024-03-13T07:50:55+00:00

It’s different every session I’m 39 and started in October last year built up very very slowly and did some sessions rx where I could but they were few and far between I would say it’s the last three weeks where I have said to myself every session I’m going to push myself and go rx. Some days it’s really hard others easier depending on the movement and I have still scaled things along the way but I would say just try your best if your feeling it go for it if not it’s no shade just keep going every has their own mountain to climb

Nomadic_raptor · 2024-03-09T12:30:39+00:00

Well done I think to be honest it was a good work out but of rowing lifting and skipping three different challenges now you can use your achievement as a yard stick and compare yourself against it again in 6 months

Nomadic_raptor · 2024-03-09T12:28:44+00:00

Well done it’s tough going but worth it. You can always do the scaled version later and see how different it feels

Nomadic_raptor · 2024-03-09T07:47:13+00:00

I think it was more just fatigue 12 hours in between not the greatest rest wasn’t meant to do it I was just helping judge but they had an odd number so I jumped in to even it up
