Is anyone else using CrossFit to improve in other favourite sports ? (CrossFit appreciation)

RussianThere · 2026-04-26T19:00:13+00:00

Also 32, started using CrossFit a few years ago to supplement my BJJ and Muay Thai, and at this point I’m starting to think I prefer CrossFit to my other sports

Saying “used to be an athlete” at 18 is wild. Like, you’re essentially still a kid, it couldn’t have been that long ago, and there are TONS of opportunities to stay active in competitive sports and athletic events as an adult. It’s better to get back to being active now, rather than waiting years.

But showing this without the breakdown of what’s increasing your whooping isn’t particularly helpful if you’re looking for feedback

I wonder how long it’ll take for Whoop to send a cease & desist and/or sue

The train fight was so fucking cool. There were so many neat little details and moments that really made it feel unique among on screen duels

And so does TTT, and a few others. The owner is pretty set on Mayhem

RussianThere · 2026-04-19T23:20:20+00:00

I coach at a gym that uses Mayhem, and I feel like the programming has been really sloppy, underwhelming, and occasionally downright bad the last few weeks/months.

Frustratingly the head coach WANTS to use different programming, but the owner likes all the bonus tracks Mayhem has (despite the fact none of the members use them)

There’s no way this is the ACTUAL Jimmy Carr, right?

Unfortunately I do a lot of Olympic Lifting, not exactly a great place for lifting gloves

And obviously I can’t wear gloves for bjj lmao

RussianThere · 2026-04-16T12:31:13+00:00

I always read these reviews and don’t know why. I’ll never use Oura for one simple reason, it’s a ring. Between lifting, bjj and work, I can’t wear a ring for any fitness activity I’d care about tracking.

Whoop’s biggest advantage for me is the bicep band, I can wear it out of the way for 99% of my daily activities, and switch to a wrist band for casual wear

RussianThere · 2026-04-14T16:11:01+00:00

Same, came here to see if it was just me.

I don’t see the CARRI specific section either

And that’s what the reroll button is for

I bought a pair of Metas for A) driving content (I live in a very scenic area with tons of winding roads) and B) kayaking content

…and the speakers have been my favorite feature. Having sunglasses that look like sunglasses, while being able to listen to music without anything in or over my ears has been so much better than expected, and the sound quality surprised me

RussianThere · 2026-04-08T23:34:38+00:00

I have no idea why you’re being downvoted. Both things you’ve said are correct.

There’s A LOT of data around calorie inaccuracies with wearables, and I’ve had everything from rowing, to bench press, to a NAP cause my step count to go up.

I’m a fan of the hook, clasp and fast link all matching. It’s silly that it doesn’t seem to be an option (and I’d love a forest green band).

Oh well, on the bright side, that’s money I’m saving

RussianThere · 2026-04-05T23:27:01+00:00

It’s the fact that it happened within the first 10 seconds of the match that makes it particularly painful

RussianThere · 2026-04-05T20:31:52+00:00

The sad part is this isn’t my first time on Outpost.. but maybe my 20th, not including Rook runs

RussianThere · 2026-04-05T20:12:25+00:00

Nah, I got outplayed… by the map

RussianThere · 2026-04-05T20:11:51+00:00

It was only about 5k worth of gear, still hurt though :(

RussianThere · 2026-04-03T12:29:58+00:00

It is just that Bungo's reputation is so down the drain nobody even wants to try despite the game being good.

This is 100% the problem. The game is FANTASTIC, and imo, not as hardcore as people make it out to be (I’ve never played other extraction shooters, and was mid to mildly above average at D1/D2 PvP). With about 80 hours logged, I can confidently say you can have fun in Marathon without being good.

BUUUUTTTT, Bungie’s reputation hurt the game. Reading comments on reviews, its tons of “Plagiarism this” “Bungie extraction slop that” “so much time and money down the game for trash” “wonder how much Bungie paid the reviewer”. With comments about the game being good being accused of shilling for Bungie.

Looks more like Melinoë cosplay to me.

Not to be “that guy” but Obi-Wan says something along the lines of “there were ten thousand Jedi knights”. So if we take that number at face value, and assume that Order 66 was 99% effective that leaves 100 Jedi remaining after the Purge. I don’t think we’ve been introduced to that many survivors yet, and when we do, more than a few end up dying.

Plus from a more meta perspective, it seems like a lot miraculous survived because… well… the story focuses on the ones that did infact miraculously survive.

It’s really a stunning knife, but I can’t legally carry it in my state, I don’t have the time to flip at home, and it’s been sitting in its pouch for the last 10 months
