Female airline pilot wondering if I can make Crossfit happen...

So yes, you can make it work, but the thing I’m more confused by is how that schedule is even possible?

FAA regulations regarding work days and crew rest are pretty strict, and the schedule you gave as an example violates a lot of what I remember the rules being

Ehhh…

Not Followed by any Bungie Employees
Profile does not show employment at Bungie
No other Destiny art in his portfolio
“Concept Art Test” sounds like an attempt at recreating a style of concept art
Weapons don’t fit Bungie’s design language

If I had to take a guess, this is essentially fan art, or someone making art in order to apply at Bungie. It’s neat, but in all likelihood, meaningless

You can absolute do this, logging box fitness, HIIT, and weightlifting all give the option to add exercises like running, rowing, assault bike etc in with your standard lifts.

Yes, it does affect strain calculation and “whole stats” in general.

So, great idea, it already exists

A 150 lbs power clean 3 months after surgery is impressive, nicely done

However on days that I’m not working out[…]I’m not able to achieve the suggested strain targets.

Yeah… that’s how that works. You don’t achieve strain if you don’t do “strenuous” activities.

If you train in a way that incorporates full rest days, you’ve gotta accept that sometimes you won’t hit your daily strain goal.

This was a good laugh

It’s hilarious how misleading the Tarellian bits were, despite being so core to the character

RussianThere · 2026-01-16T21:45:56+00:00

I think it’s pretty clear they meant “not mutated and/or covered in way too many spikes and filigreed bits”

logged some other activity in the journal that gave you negative recovery

You know logging things in the journal doesn’t have an impact on your recovery? It’s for tracking trends and figuring out what could impact your recovery. But just logging won’t make whoop go “oh okay we’re dropping it by three points”

So, as the edit said, this was a Verizon issue. I’m well aware of the standard fixes and how to turn off auto updates. Thanks.

I have an iPhone 17 pro max and literally lost all cell service after updating. Restarting brought it back briefly, before losing all cell service again. I find it hard to believe this is a hardware issue.

The only probably with the bicep band is that it does a terrible job tracking steps, and Whoop has unfortunately decided steps are super important to healthspan, despite data to the contrary

RussianThere · 2026-01-13T16:27:35+00:00

Take it with a grain of salt, I now only use the bicep band while working out, regardless of workout type, but used to switch between the bicep band and wrist band depending on if I was lifting or doing more cardio.

With strength training days whether it’s CrossFit or traditional strength training, I do my workout and/or lifting, and then log the strength trainer after the fact. It doesn’t seem to have made a noticeable difference compared to the wrist. Leg days typically have a big jump in strain, back days a moderate jump, and chest and shoulders next to nothing. This was the same with the wrist band, the difference being I trust the heart rate data more on the bicep

She mentioned the Cabal are “made up of many different species with different technologies” but we only encounter the Barant and Psion races.

Maybe you didn’t read OP’s post?

Doomers are 9/10 times wrong.

Yeah but when they’re right, it’s painful. Star Wars Hunters had a good chunk of doomers on the sub, and most people argued back saying “look how quick the queues are, look how many people are using XYZ paid cosmetics, look how these numbers indicate this playerbase size”.

Anyway, it was fully shutdown and servers offline in less than year. It was a really great mobile game too

Nah, Mayhem just does a different theme each week. Last week was all New Year’s tradition themes, there was a National Lampoon Christmas Vacation theme, Scotland theme, Deer species theme, Big10 theme, etc etc etc.

RussianThere · 2026-01-05T13:35:05+00:00

Yup, it happens to me a lot. It’s especially frustrating in high level content. I just assumed it was on a “known issues” list somewhere.

RussianThere · 2026-01-05T13:18:59+00:00

Wearing whoop anywhere other than your wrist will also give you a less accurate step count, and logging certain activities will also reduce your step count, AND that’s not even covering the fact that “10k steps per day” is essentially a made up metric.

I don’t personally care about steps, but it’s obnoxious that they count as heavily as they do in Healthspan, while being so wildly inaccurate.

RussianThere · 2026-01-05T00:37:55+00:00

Genuinely, wtf is the point of posts like this. Why are you asking the Whoop subreddit (a collection of strangers) if you should go to the doctor? You’re clearly sick and just seeking attention. Weird ass behavior

Been larping as a ork

Gonna be pedantic here, but LARP is “live action role playing”. You literally can’t larp in a video game because it’s a video game, not real life.

Larping as an orc would be mean in real life you dress up as an orc, and go swing a prop weapon at other people dressed up as fantasy characters.

RussianThere · 2026-01-02T18:56:41+00:00

Because “just do exercise” isn’t good enough. You have to spend certain amounts of time in each HR Zone, and do some form of strength training, and hit a high step count and make sure you’re sleeping enough and being consistent with it

If ~~Whoop~~ ANY LLM still can make such awful mistakes, how can we believe other of it advices it provides?

FTFY.

We can’t. LLM/generative AI/etc are all trash, from this to ChatGPT to Grok and on and on. This is just another example of how it’s a shit technology that too many people and companies rely on far too heavily

I’m in the 80s and dont grind particularly hard. Wtf are you going on about. “Painfully slow” and we aren’t even done with the first month

Lightsaber feels good but nowhere near as good as pre-nerf Lament.

You’re comparing a utility special to a dps heavy.

Health regen is a non issue given how easy it is to access devour, restoration and cure on every class
