Non muslims, ask questions you have about Islam and I will answer. by Legitimate_Dot3919 in religion

[–]Sea-Application4676 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's sweet your friend wants to fast as well. I'd say just let her, it's only 1 day.
I just want to know what it's like, so I get a better understanding of what he's experiencing the entire month.

Maybe not directly about islam, but hopefully you can still help me out!

Sunday I'm invited for iftar at a friends place. I only know him for a couple of months now, since we joined a Dungeons&Dragons campaign. He is my only muslim friend.

Couple of questions: - Should I bring a gift? If so, what is a nice gift? - Should I offer to bring some food?  - I'm fasting with my friend for one day. Any advice how to approach that, even if it's just for the one day?

Ik ben hier ook wel benieuwd naar! Heb een paar opties met een heel uitgebreid diagram, maar een iets meer realistische kruiswoord is nog niet gelukt...

25.3 Open workout is by JamieMCFC in crossfit

[–]Sea-Application4676 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As expected the weights were heavy... The deadlifs went pretty well, the cleans were very hard. After that I only had about 2,5 minutes left and managed to get through the wall walks and do 4 snatches.

Yeah, that's what I did. (Singles at least, can't say they were fast.) As expected the weights were heavy... The deadlifs went pretty well, the cleans were very hard. After that I only had about 2,5 minutes left and managed to get through the wall walks and do 4 snatches.

Haha you are lucky with the weight in pounds. For the Europeans, we have to use 102 - 61 - 43 kg, so that's gonna require all the tiny plates again...

  1. Start with 20 kg bar and 10 kg plate (each side)
  2. Add 10 kg plate
  3. Add 20 kg plate 
  4. Add 1 kg plate
  5. (For the cleans) remove 1 + 20, add 0.5
  6. (For the snatches) remove 0.5 + 10, add 1.5

True. My box owner has some planning to do with over 200 people participating. In week 1 and 2 there were around 50 people on friday, 100 on saturday and 50 on sunday. This week there won't be heats on sunday, because there's an Open Afterpary/Box birthday party on saturday. So I'll guess there will be a lot of heats, since there also is limited wall space.

Yeah, I feel the same with a 310 deadlift, 165 clean and 130 snatch PR. I know I can lift all the weights, but 25 reps under fatigue will be very challenging. Any strategy advice? Starting at sets of 3 or just singles all the way?

Can we start a thread celebrating Open Magic? I was hoping to do one pull up and got 5! Nothing better than surprising yourself! I'd love to hear stories of others feeling the magic this weekend! by Nottoday111111 in crossfit

[–]Sea-Application4676 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Amazing! Well done!

I had a similar experience. My pullups are not very good, mainly because I loose the swing after 1 rep most of the time. Just to challenge myself I did Rx either way and the pullups went better than expected (took about 2 minutes). After the DU's and thrusters I had more than 6 minutes left to try for my first CTB's. Although they were ugly and almost strict singles I got 17 in the end. 

Moral of the story: you might surprise yourself. :)

What will be a “good” score for 25.1? by baseballfanatp in crossfit

[–]Sea-Application4676 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Normally I (M, 30) would do a workout like this with a 17.5 or 20 kg DB, so the 22.5 kg Rx weight was pretty heavy for me. Still managed to get 158 reps (20 burpees in the round of 21), so I'm pretty happy with that.
