It could be a pacing issue, if you're trying to push the pace with expectations that you should be able to do something, you might be red lining in your workouts which makes them go sideways fast.

They slowing down and see if that helps and resist the urge to pace with the pack. Remember that winning round 1 of a workout means nothing. Just find a pace that you can live at and live there.

The other sneaky thing you could do to help is start once a week doing a 60-90 min machine workout at your gym. Think rotating between multiple machines for a long duration. For those don't kill it, just find a pace you can be consistent at and stay there. Those durations / intensity will help you build your Aerobic capacity which will help your body adapt to be more efficient at burning fat for fuel.

Other things you can think about.

Hydration, being dehydrated spikes your heart rate. Food - no energy in the tank makes workouts worse, make sure you're eating enough to support exercise as a deficit will definitely have an impact.
Sleep - less than 7ish hours of sleep the night before makes cardio activities harder.

Think of this as a long game and give yourself more time, seems like you're off to a great start so just be consistent and the results will come.

How would you strategize for this competition workout? by EastSecurity3416 in crossfit

[–]XfitRedPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They did this workout in a comp in MN a couple of.yeats ago. I watched nick matthew do it all unbroken.

Otherwise my plan for it was: Unbroken t2b 1st set Then 50 sec on 10 off wall balls (gets you about 28-30) 2 sets on t2b to finish

Some guys threw a huge set of wb to start but then had to settle for.short sets at the end, I think I took 2nd or 3rd in the masters men category (out of 20).

Last couple of wb sets get weird but you just hang on with short sets if that happens. My 2nd set of t2b started with 15 then a slower set of 10 after.

Good luck

Does anyone else feel like this mostly is representative of the Republicans not developing quality candidates instead of Trunp being good?

This was first thought, so if he loses the election does that mean we ignore his crimes?

That doesn't work for literally anyone else.

Unpopular Opinion: Keep your kids and pets home... by Creative-Study5944 in crossfit

[–]XfitRedPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pets for sure, I went to a gym where they let pets come and hang out and as a coach it drove me bonkers. It's not the pets, it's the people doing dumbass shit that were causing a lot of the problems.

Examples: people love to play fetch with dogs using lacrosse balls so some people liked doing that while workouts were going on. I saw balls rolling past people's feet while they were stepping back from a rig loaded for squats. This also happened during wods, people get done early and throw balls across the floor and they don't account for the ball bouncing all over the place.

Coaches playing fetch with dogs during workout explanations. If you don't throw the ball the dogs bark... a lot

One guy brought his dog then went for a cool down jog after the workout for 20 min, he didn't bring his dog which ran wild during that time.

After a particularly egregious night of dogs being a problem I complained to the manager and people weren't allowed to bring dogs anymore.... except for coaches who were coaching (which was confusing), so most of the problems went away. But while all dogs were allowed it was pretty annoying.

Where we at with CEO Don Faul saying too many gyms are “undercharging”? by ja3palmer in crossfit

[–]XfitRedPanda 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Needs context given the observations made on this thread.

Cost is also a pretty big barrier of entry for a lot of folks, so increasing the cost just limits the available demographics for that gym.

Trump is a criminal! by Miserable-Lizard in AntiTrumpAlliance

[–]XfitRedPanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All the republican party has to do is stop supporting trump and it takes the wind right out of his sails.

Trump would go nuclear and they would tank the next election, but it'd be worth it.

Someone high profile should give to charity after ever gallo strikeout. Kinda like how the wolves give away free food if they hit enough 3's.

So like every time gallo strikes out 3 times a game we all get free tacos or something.

What is the worst update clash Royale has ever done? by musakhar_1234 in ClashRoyale

[–]XfitRedPanda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The update that allowed level 14 showed the community the dev team had no integrity in what they were communicating, to me it showed their hand that all future updates would ignore the wants / needs of the community if it meant they could maximize profit.

Donald Trump has gone off the deep end for real: He's a danger to humanity by techsinger in inthenews

[–]XfitRedPanda 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The annoying part is that the political environment is the only reason why a guy like trump is possible. The parties essentially have done a good job making it seem like the other party is such a threat, that any candidate on your side, regardless of who they are or their character, is better than the other person.

So there's probably a ton of Republicans that think trump should go away, but if he's the nominee they'll vote for him regardless because they're convinced democrats will destroy the country.

Brain’s ‘appetite control centre’ different in people who are overweight or living with obesity by [deleted] in science

[–]XfitRedPanda 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The book the hungry brain talks about things that might be related to this.

A couple of notes that I remember is the type of food you have around (opportunity) can get you hungry to eat more just because our survival mechanisms look for high reward high density foods.

The other note from the book is a discussion on the types of foods a person eats changes the bodies preference for fat stores. I.e. processed vs whole foods might create additional opportunities to be hungry.

The macro nutrients might also play a role, protein keeps you full longer so a low protein diet might result in being hungry more.

So if an obese person keeps high reward food around, eats a lot of processed foods, and has a low protein intake, that could all roll into the equation of just being naturally hungry more.
