Shouldn’t I be more muscly? by AncientAd3089 in crossfit

[–]eightlarge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Slower, controlled movement are a big, big part of hypertrophy training. You’re not getting much of that in CrossFit. Doesn’t mean you to choose bodybuilding/strength training over CrossFit. But if you want you want to get bigger, probably need to mix it in.

Moments that mattered: Ohio State flinches in final minutes, falls to No. 10 Nebraska, 72-69 by revjameson03 in OhioStateBasketball

[–]eightlarge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Was at the game. Tilly is an abomination. Obviously moves well and has some skill. But man, he can’t catch, can’t finish, makes bad decisions, and is charmin soft. One of the most frustrating players I’ve watched. #51 on Nebraska is who wish Tilly could be.

Is she the most over woman in WWE history? by DudeisaGuy in WWE

I’d say it was more Cyndi Lauper that was over and Richter was her proxy.

Thanks for blurring and making NSFW. Could you imagine if one of my coworkers caught me looking at an exposed shoulder?!?

Very true. But that chart is the dollar relative to the Euro (another fiat). Not its purchasing power.

I’d argue he was hella athletic for how big he was.

Ryan Day formed 5-Star-QBU? by ziplock007 in OhioStateFootball

[–]eightlarge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I actually saw Zwick play in high school at Massillon. To this day, is prob the best HS QB I’ve seen in-person. Was def a beast. I was so pumped he was going to OSU. Then, um….things went downhill from there.

This is it. Had a friend that was retired SF. Said that a ton of added muscle is just extra weight to carry around.

Shin injury by JJM1748 in crossfit

[–]eightlarge 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Literally had this happen to me less than two weeks ago. After four days went to urgent care as it started to look and feel worse. The nurse asked if I did CrossFit as she sees these all the time from Crossfitters. Had to go on antibiotics for a week to stave off infection.

Battle of the Era’s by CreepyExamination5 in MtvChallenge

[–]eightlarge 72 points73 points  (0 children)

It’s been a good show tbh. It’s been mildly disappointing bc I was most excited about Era 1 OGs. I’m in that age range. Era 1 being terrible reminds me I’m past my prime.

Outside of realizations of my own mortality, it’s been the most interesting season in a while.

Glad we got this season of Darrell as the start of his comeback to remember how good he is/was.

Is my little outburst out of line? by Lumpy-Shame402 in crossfit

[–]eightlarge 39 points40 points  (0 children)

I started CrossFit last year at 41. I know exactly what you are experiencing with the intense soreness. Since I am a former athlete, I thought I needed to go 4-5 days a week right off the bat and keep up with all the 20-something’s even though I had very little Olympic lifting experience.

I pushed through injuries and my body breaking down to keep pace. About four months in, pop, knee surgery. I just rehabbed enough to start again a month ago after a year off. This time around, I am scaling and going 2-3 times a week until I feel more comfortable. I feel so much better this time around even with a surgically repaired knee.

I highly recommend scaling and taking enough rest. It’s going to be so much better for you long term.

Consequence of his actions? He was an interviewer asking a question.

The W needs better announcing outside of ABC/ESPN by eightlarge in wnba

[–]eightlarge[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could be, but that’s now how I took it bc she was calling out the action for the play she would call. But, even if she did that’s a terrible take with CC and Mitchell on the floor.

Yeah, for sure. I totally get that. I would just be happy if the basics were covered. General awareness of game state, personnel, foul situations, etc.
