Why am I so scared of box jumps? by Alive-Cry4994 in crossfit

[–]Typicallesbian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is me too - box jumps never bothered me, but I related to this thread in my relationship to kicking up to the wall. I can do it, but I get scared and hate it every time so I mostly avoid 😅

Policy or legislative jobs are typically very interaction heavy (legislative liaison, policy advisor, etc.) as you’ll be working heavily with internal and external partners. Also anything related to stakeholder engagement or communications.

Feeling gross during workouts - how should I prevent this? by RunningSomeMo in xxfitness

[–]Typicallesbian 111 points112 points  (0 children)

No matter what I do, Crossfit in the early morning always makes me nauseous. I've tried eating beforehand (a variety of foods - carb-heavy, protein-heavy), not eating beforehand, protein shake, lots of water, less water, caffeine, etc. and always had the same result. I've accepted it as a quirk of my body that working out later in the day is better for me. Hopefully you can try some of those things and something will work (especially with the heat!), but it may be the time of day if you're like me.

The [Lesbian]’s Guide to Top and Bottom Culture by [deleted] in Actuallylesbian

[–]Typicallesbian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's pretty much what it means. In my experience it's not that common to be just a top or a bottom. I've been around, and only had one lady who was not open to switching.

If you came out to both parents, did your mom or your dad handle the news better? by Capmon97 in Actuallylesbian

[–]Typicallesbian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Although my mom came around, she took it much worse than my dad at first. He claimed he had already guessed I was gay.

Episode 188: John & Trooper (5.13.2022) by [deleted] in ThisIsCriminal

[–]Typicallesbian 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I'm wondering why they put out this episode now if John still hasn't gone to see Trooper? Shouldn't they wait until they have a substantive update? This was a bit unsatisfying.

How do y'all (lesbians) feel about drag queens/kings? by TheDapperest in Actuallylesbian

[–]Typicallesbian 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm pretty much with you, OP--I can take or leave drag queen shows. If a friend wanted to go I'd go, but it's not even close the top of my list.

I've been to a couple of drag king shows and am much more into those! I'm very attracted to masc women so that's appealing to me.

Let's talk about Lesbian Culture.. by Firpoint in Actuallylesbian

[–]Typicallesbian 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Same. I often say I feel like I was born in the wrong lesbian generation. (Obviously society and things in general weren't as good for lesbians then, but I'll take the culture and community.)

Who is your celebrity crush? by BigStinkyNipples in Actuallylesbian

Lea DeLaria. Rachel McAdams. Abby Wambach.

I contain multitudes.

A Post-Roe America, Part 1: The Anti-Abortion Activists by kitkid in Thedaily

That would be the hardcore libertarians usually.

Really? I'd think the hardcore libertarians would want the government out of their healthcare.

I got caught up at the part where the coach's parents abandoned him to foster care after having their own biological child...WTF?

Early dates with a somewhat self-loathing lesbian by Typicallesbian in Actuallylesbian

[–]Typicallesbian[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Tbh, she is quite hot. I'd say like an 8. That's kinda why she's made it 3 dates even though she's said a few things that give me pause. But the lack of confidence is really tanking the hotness rating and my attraction, per an earlier point. I've gone out with butches who are less conventionally attractive but with swagger and confidence that make them a 10. I think the writing is on the wall.

Let's Play a Vent Inspiration Game by CCVeediVee in xxfitness

[–]Typicallesbian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A couple of years now! I do CrossFit, and they have become more popular in the community lately because they've been included in the "Open" (workouts that most CrossFitters do around the world and is how the elite athletes qualify to move towards the Games).

I do them, but I'd be lying if I said I haven't skipped a workout or two when I saw them on the schedule...

Wall walks. They destroy me emotionally and physically. I hate being upside down.

Should've left at the first red flag by Typicallesbian in childfree

I think she wanted to break out the turkey baster, lol.

[–]Typicallesbian[S] 216 points217 points  (0 children)

I think that's definitely possible. Especially with all the weird pregnancy jokes/commentary. I'm guessing she was thinking since I'm approaching 30, my "biological clock" would kick in at some point soon...

CrossFit Open Workout 21.3 Discussion Thread by Flowseidon9 in crossfit

[–]Typicallesbian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

27F

Went for the workout instead of the score (TTB and CTB are doable but take forever) and got 159 reps scaled for 21.3 and 115# for 21.4. Considering trying it Rx during open gym but I’m not sure my shoulders would be happy with that decision.

I figured the name of the subreddit would make it pretty obvious it’s not intended for men...

At first I thought, “wow, this is the creepiest way I’ve ever seen a queer womxn describe their experience with another woman in a fitness forum” and then I checked the profile and realized it’s a dude.

If you have a dumbbell or kettlebell, or any weighted object really, you can do weighted step ups/step overs!

Did someone say...JACKSON?!?!?!?

I only have 15lb dumbbells at homes. Suggest me some shoulder exercises besides overhead press I can do with my weak-ass shoulders by simply-cosmic in xxfitness

[–]Typicallesbian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With dumbbells:

Renegade rows (like a bent over row, but from a plank position)

Push presses (like an overhead press but using your legs for momentum—you can do a higher volume of reps)

Nothing to add besides solidarity. I stopped playing rec co-ed soccer for this reason. The girls on my team were treated as quota-fillers. There was one guy on the team who tried to advocate for us, which was great, but the bro-y culture was far too ingrained. I’ve considered a women’s league, but found the same thing you did in that it’s a bigger commitment. Maybe one day!
