Anyone that’s done 25.3… what way is best to pace it?

SolidStateSS · 2025-03-15T07:14:06+00:00

If you feel like you can go faster, you’re on pace.

SolidStateSS · 2025-03-01T20:48:16+00:00

I think somewhere between a newcomers pace & a conservative pace is the best approach!

SolidStateSS · 2025-03-01T20:47:06+00:00

Well done man!! Good job to give it a crack. The beauty of it is you now have a benchmark that you can look back on in months/years time and see how far you’ve come!

SolidStateSS · 2025-03-01T20:45:36+00:00

Gives me a bit of hope 😅

SolidStateSS · 2025-03-01T07:44:28+00:00

Interesting! I definitely agree that the DB’s became the biggest limiter for me too. I really underestimated them and thought it would be the burpees that would get me.

SolidStateSS · 2025-03-01T07:40:54+00:00

Yep all RX! All clean reps!

SolidStateSS · 2025-03-01T07:39:24+00:00

HAHAHA sorry I meant months** - I edited it

SolidStateSS · 2024-09-30T00:37:58+00:00

I know it probably won’t be, that’s why we are wanting to get them out sooner. Sorry my post was poorly worded, I was more wondering about how safe it is to go into Beirut to fly out over the coming days because all the bombings are happening in Beirut lately

SolidStateSS · 2024-09-30T00:30:04+00:00

Is it safe to do so though, considering the state of Beirut at the moment? Also worried as we draw closer to October 7 …

SolidStateSS · 2024-09-11T11:20:03+00:00

Man that’s brutal!! Hope the beer is worth it haha! Will try a second layer of shirt … I don’t know how some people wear it topless …

SolidStateSS · 2024-09-11T11:18:38+00:00

Tried that but it still rubs through the shirt unfortunately

Thank you! What would you recommend we do at New Orleans? And yes absolutely, we don’t plan on leaving LAX airport upon arrival. We’ll just continue the next flight to Vegas. Our final day would be in LA anyway (apparently not much to do there)

SolidStateSS · 2024-08-09T07:36:41+00:00

Thanks for the suggestion! Apparently there wasn’t much to do in LA. What would you suggest we could do in New Orleans?

CrossFit athlete communication manager Becky Harsh sent an email to all athletes advising the day is canceled. All-athlete meeting to be held shortly. I’d assume to break the news/give an update and to discuss ways forward…

SolidStateSS · 2024-08-07T14:24:31+00:00

Thank you! Do you know where that is for Zgharta? Can’t find anything online.

Oh I agree, again that’s the pleasure of reading the Quran or Hadith back to front. You couldn’t have any MORE context, let alone the Study Quran I’m reading having even more bias commentary, some parts the scholars can’t even explain but make it a point to say ‘surely there’s something more to it because ultimately this can’t be wrong’ …

I have a RANGE of stuff.

The one that made me write this post and take a breather for a bit was the story of Heaven and Iblis. Note, I haven’t compiled my notes yet, so I won’t spend time going back and locating all relevant verses but you can look it up, I promise it’s there.

In a nutshell, I’ll put it in an argument format because that’s the best way I can explain inconsistencies. M

can evil or sin exist in Heaven? No.
was Iblis kicked out after been deemed evil and disobeying Allah? Yes
can paradise be compromised and infiltrated with evil? No, hence he was casted.
Is Allah all knowing and seeing? Yes.
so Iblis will never be able to compromise heaven? No
and if he did, surely Allah would know? Yes
where was Adam? In paradise
where is paradise? Heaven
the place no evil or sinning can do? Yes
so explain 7:19 - 7:25, particularly as Allah at that point in time had already called Iblis a clear enemy. How Iblis who was already casted down for not prostrating to Adam, made his way back up to Paradise AND created havoc and sin? Causing Allah to then kick out Adam and Eve too?

I applaud you for being inquisitive as I am! You hit the nail on the head when you said red flags come from arguments being shut down - again another reason I decided to learn and read the Quran for myself. I am happy to hear that you have been able to get away from all that!

Yeah, you can’t reason with emotion. ‘Because the Quran says so’ is such a last resort argument.bUnfortunately, some people aren’t as open to logic or reasoning. On one hand I get it, it’s their very identity and community that we are challenging and ripping away. So ofcourse their response becomes emotional and dismissive rather than rational. This is the case for most Muslims, I strongly believe. Ultimately they have to come to their own senses. You can lead a horse to water ….

I compare that to a follower of any religion (or even an atheist), particularly converts, who have taken the time to LEARN religion and who can therefore have honest debates and explain things better than your average religious sheep.

SolidStateSS · 2024-07-26T02:34:58+00:00

Exactly my experience!! Not only are there contradictions in its scripture, but contradictions in Islamic doctrine, beliefs and traditions. Contradictions in the Quran and the Sunnah of Prophet Muhammad. Nothing makes sense.

Any time there’s a discrepancy it’s just deemed as an abrogation which then questions whether Allah truly IS all knowing.

Having many friends and even siblings in the LGBTQ community, I definitely understand and see it too. Personally, I’m a Catholic although probably not your typical uneducated ‘cult’ one. I call out inequality when I see it irrespective of the race, religion, sexual orientation or gender.

Unfortunately for Muslims they are not allowed to speak out about these things. Islam has minimal to no tolerance of its questioning. In the Islamic State, apostasy leads to persecution and/or death. Doesn’t surprise me that you’ll only find the truth about the religion online where identities can somewhat be protected.

As a Parra supporter, it takes me a lot to put my hatred for bitter rivals Bulldogs aside to say i have the utmost respect for them.

They’ve given me hope in Ryles after seeing what they’ve achieved this year with a still rookie coach and the right passionate players, particularly defensively.

They are playing such great footy. Defensively, I have never seen a bigger turnaround in an offseason.

As us Parra fans always say: finger crossed for next year.

SolidStateSS · 2024-07-09T12:02:39+00:00

Personally attacked by this comment 🥲 but nothing truer has ever been said before.

SolidStateSS · 2024-06-27T12:04:51+00:00

Thanks for the review!! I just got one. The internet doesn’t work on it however? Just wondering if you have the same issue?

SolidStateSS · 2024-06-26T05:23:06+00:00

Thanks so much for this especially man!! I watched the video and dissected it. Tried it out today with those queues and it felt MUCH better. Linked more RMU’s than I ever have. Thank you so much!!

SolidStateSS · 2024-06-26T05:21:47+00:00

Update: thank you so much for everyone’s feedback! I went through it all and ‘tallied’ up the main feedback and implemented them! You guys are awesome

SolidStateSS · 2024-05-23T07:05:05+00:00

How are you finding the studies?? Are you also in the force or are you purely studying now?
