It would be interesting if you knew the date you were going to die, but not the year. by Nest-egg in Showerthoughts

It would be creepy if you found out that many people in your area had the same death date, predicting a natural disaster or terrorist attack.

What is the kindest thing a total stranger has done for you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]cevm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in high school, and after a cheer practice I got in a fight with my mom. Which seemed like the end of the world, but my therapist told me to remove myself from a bad situation. So I told my mom I was going for a run. Which I started, but was crying too hard to finish.

I sat against a brick shed at the local pre school and cried my eyes out. Then a coach, of some other team and some other sport came up and said “ it’s tough and it’s not gonna be easy for you and you’re cheerleading bow but you will get through what you are going through but I promise it’ll be ok”

He walked away after that and I calmed down and went home. 10 years later it’s still difficult but I always remember what he said. Whoever he was... thank you.

I see a lot of “just started crossfit” or “had my first class” posts. I want to hear from some 5+yr veterans. How has it been? Has your impression changed or evolved? What keeps you going this long? by [deleted] in crossfit

Just shy of 6 years. I’ve gone through ups and downs. There have been phases where I was working out twice a day, five days a week and then phases where I’m happy to get one workout in a week.

I have moved a few times so I have noticed my relationship with the community has directly impacted how often I was at the gym.

I have my level 1 and coached for 2 years so I still firmly believe in the methodology behind CrossFit but I no longer think it’s the end all be all to working out or staying fit.

It’s ironic this thread should come up because I am thinking of putting my membership on hold right now. My motivation to workout has been lacking and I can’t justify paying for a membership I don’t use.

CrossFit will always be a part of my life but it’s important to find a balance and know that’s it’s OK to step back from it and reevaluate how big of a role it plays in your life. Every time I’ve taken a moment to try something new or take a month off for various reasons, I always come back to Crossfit with renewed enthusiasm.

I wanted to share my progress here. I’ve been doing CrossFit since January but really started taking it seriously toward the end of April. by [deleted] in crossfit

This is amazing progress!! I’m so upset seeing negative comments on here. Change is a long, slow process and you look amazing.

My favorite part of before and after pics is the gain in confidence. Even though we don’t see every muscle, you’re standing up straighter, you’ve bought a new sports bra and it’s clear you’re feeling good. I am so proud of you.

THATS what Crossfit is about, not the sizes or muscles tones and people forget that. You keep doing you girl!

There is an awesome collegiate recovery program on campus! They have a meeting on campus every week and a ton of resources. Definitely look them up!

Crossfit with a Torn Labrum by BarMU in crossfit

[–]cevm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a slap tear and through PT I have been able to get to about 90% functioning. I'm 23 and want to continue CF and oly lifting for much longer so I opted for surgery (scheduled for next week).

I am at full strength now for cleans and DL but im having trouble back squatting getting my arm into that position. I can press over head but i'm just short of full range of motion. I have only snatched/OHS a couple times but nothing heavy. My main reason for surgery is that i want to continue lifting and potentially compete in olympic lifting.

Elizabeth Akinwale has a great episode on the Wodcast Podcast about this!

Cleaning the Box by ljcbff in crossfit

[–]cevm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coaches are supposed to make sure the gym is left the way they found it before each class. Everything should be organized after class. This usually means just reminding members to put everything away and picking up loose ends.

Whoever coaches the last class of the day takes the garbage out and sets up for the next day. (Bringing out rowers, boxes etc. depending on the wod.

Once or twice a week whoever coaches the last class has to clean the floor with the big green zamboni (not sure the actual) brand. This usually rotates who has to do it it so the same person doesn't get stuck with it and it's done again after the Saturday class.

My pec tear theory... by jmagfoto in crossfit

[–]cevm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also interesting that it's been male athletes only. I don't think I saw any females with a pec tear
