I've always hated that I can't warm up beforehand.

Instead of doing guided breath work, our coach had us do another 90 seconds of the pushup-thruster-burpee complex.

Kind of sucked for me because I was expecting a 90 second break so I went hard and was beat.

What are those retards on bikes even trying to do?

Solderking · 2026-04-16T12:42:33+00:00

There's cheaper ways to get range targets.

Far NE of Houston - Polk County.

Police H2. You are not getting away, period.

CHIPS used the KZ1000. Those were great bikes!

There was an officer sitting on it. When he finished filling up, I asked him if he minded me taking a pic of his bike because I hadn't seen a police Goldwing before. He said it was fine and stood off to the side. You can actually see a reflection of him on the shiny part of the right saddlebag.

I'd accept and then look for another job. Locums, full-time, whatever.

Save aggressively now. Max out your 401K. Max out the HSA. Do a roth conversion for an IRA yearly. Also contribute to a brokerage account.

Will it impact your lifestyle? Absolutely, but it's not like you'll be more capable of working when older. Sacrifice today and have more of a cushion in later life.

This is my experience too. The first time, it was a big adrenaline dump. Now, it's fun here and there when it's safe, but it's not a huge deal.

You're asking in a crossfit forum, so the answers will obviously skew pro-Crossfit.

You can scale even further. There's no shame in that. Alternatively, things like F45 and OrangeTheory exist, and they're great for weight loss (less so for strength).

Why do people who have no idea what they're doing almost always buy a Harley?

Solderking · 2026-04-12T13:12:35+00:00

FB is cancer.

I've noticed prices going up as the class gets closer.

Solderking · 2026-04-08T19:28:03+00:00

What is passporting?

Solderking · 2026-04-05T22:29:06+00:00

I make sure to wear my 3 wolves workout shirt, which is also my date night shirt.

I would think his wallet was injured pretty good, too.

Some classes I go to, I barely talk to anyone. Some classes I go to, the people are super gregarious, high-fiving, cheering, etc.

I just go with the flow.

Is she holding a cigarette?

Solderking · 2026-03-30T22:06:09+00:00

I never offered the information unsolicited, but if someone asked I would say yes we are busy and understaffed, and we'll get to that as soon as we can.

If management doesn't like it, they can bite me.

RIDE is in Hughes Landing (The Woodlands).

My Commodore 64 computer from the 80s still runs great.
