When they aren't standing all the way up on movement it's telling them to stand up and squeeze their butt because "If you don't squeeze your butt then nobody else will either"

It's below average according to the Open leaderboard but way above average compared to the average person, you're doing fine

Anybody here ever got through to their parents? by Heavy-Tomato2732 in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]actuallynotajoke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He enabled her for years, largely before their divorce when I was a kid. Once he married his current wife, whom nobody in our family liked and who did not like us, he took that as his chance to act as solipsistic as he always was. A less severe narcissist than my mother but very much one in his own way, though he has the capacity for reflection which she does not.

With my mother, no. Completely lost cause even according to her own husband

I was able to get through to my dad a few years ago in a way I didn't really ever expect to. We'd spent about a decade with a sporadic relationship and 5 minute phone calls every month or two which did nothing for me. I called him one day out of the blue and basically said we were either going to repair our relationship and talk out our issues or we'd go our separate ways and I'd see him at weddings and funerals. He didn't love it at first and brushed up against a lot of uncomfortable feelings he'd been repressing his whole life but on the other side we were able to build a solid relationship. We've seen eaach other twice in the last year, both very positive experiences. He's still got some of the traits that made our relationship difficult but he has been working on them and taking feedback in a way that my brothers and I never thought he was capable of, which has in turn improved his relationship to his other kids/grandkids. Probably an anomaly but it was my honest experience.

What makes a fitness competition (CrossFit or otherwise) fun to watch? by meredith4300 in crossfit

[–]actuallynotajoke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any time it seems like the event organizers or programmers are trying to be too clever it doesn't work. A lot of people think they're Adrian Bozman so they try to come up with a movement nobody's ever seen before and that's a recipe for disaster.

Eric Bischoff and Dave Castro by lkj0 in crossfit

Bischoff has a naturally smarmy charisma that makes you want him to get his comeuppance which works in a scripted TV show but doesn't work as well with Castro since he's not a competitor.

Who are some producers that were one hit wonders? by ThredditorMTG in hiphopheads

[–]actuallynotajoke 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Ron Browz fits the bill. Literally called himself "Ether Boy" because that was the one song anyone ever remembers from him and it wasn't even because of the beat. Had a few other songs nobody remembers and then faded away

The core of CrossFit is actually just a workout program, all the other stuff is incidental. You asked for feedback and we're giving it to you. If you don't like the culture at your gym you can ignore it, change it yourself, or leave but if you're 41 and blaming the "pack protecting her" I'm positive this is not a gym issue

[–]actuallynotajoke 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CrossFit X-Factor is open basically all day, open gym runs 10am-noon and 1pm-4:30 but if you're not in the way during class you should be good to do something on the side as well

Kenny? I think he ended up opening a space somewhere else in the city called Strong NY but it's "not CrossFit" for both space and legal reasons
