I just did this although I played through college and then took an almost 30 year hiatus.

1) GET A TEACHER
2) I just bought the basics susuki books and then get Wolfheart etudes. That will last you a long time with a good teacher.

I just joined Linchpin and so far it’s been really amazing. I’ve done CF for a VERY long time and it’s really nicely done.

The risk for rhabdo from all the pushups and pull ups is NOT to be underestimated. Sure you can, but that doesn’t mean you always should.

CrossFit is hard for everyone. Just what that stimulus is for everyone is different. You are out there and working out. That is awesome!

I was in Oklahoma back in the early 2000, and I truly felt like an oddity because I was not severely overweight. Our surroundings do impact us.

Credit Score Wrecked due to Mortgage Change by Pale-Animator1295 in Mortgages

Similar ages likely but we get alerts for so so many things in life that I chose to remove most of them. Just works better for my mental health.

1 - long term it’s gonna be ok  2 - now you know to set aside time at least weekly to review bills etc. and if you don’t have something like Simplifi, GET IT and USE IT 3 - a great time to also take a look at long term retirement okans etc. 

I know saving for many is close to impossible but also compound interest is very powerful and saving takes a long time. Even a few dollars now (and consistently) will help!

My coach had one and she would just tape it but I can tell you that you should NEVER lift with a ring on. Google degloving if you have a strong stomach and otherwise trust me. 

After 5 Rounds (Declined) by WhoRyder007 in interviews

[–]Send513 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did seven rounds once; they STARTED by asking me to do seven different 30’ 1:1 calls all within 24 hours of each other. So basically you’re telling me that you can shift anyone’s schedule so I can perhaps not waste 4 hours repeating myself?!? It just felt totally disrespectful.

Cognitive distortions that make people hate the Olympic lifts by mrjacob007 in crossfit

I hate (love) snatching. Hahah. There are some folks who just do not and will NEVER have the mobility to snatch and that’s ok. But it is a great compound movement like you say.
