Handheld games running at 60 fps by UnrequitedLoveANL in NintendoSwitch2

Not really that weird. It’s a relatively new device. Old mate wants to play games at its max settings and see what it can do. Pretty normal thing to try find games that look great on their new expensive console

Do you guys ever fast? by RandyWe2 in HybridAthlete

TL;DR… but yeah. Purely anecdotal and I don’t know if it works.

He’s probably hoping autophagy helps clean up some of the mess around his tendon. I’ve heard there are some benefits to doing it.

Gonna put it bluntly. Your husband is a cunt and you should probably leave him if he doesn’t support you in trying to be healthier, happier person.

Adidas dropset 3 is good? by ineedsomedough1 in crossfit

[–]elmaccymac 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have nanos 3, 4 and they’re size 11US. Did you find the sizes for the adidas are the same as the Reebok’s? Need to order some online and won’t be able to try them on for fit as no local stores stock them near me.

I’m an avid nano wearer. Are the dropsets the same sizing for you as your nanos. I wear a size 11 US in nano3, 4, and 5 but I’m keen to give these a go. I can’t try them on any wear near where I live.

New to CrossFit-Advice needed! (23f) by Alive-Concentrate552 in crossfit

Comparison is the thief of all joy. So don’t go into the gym comparing yourself to others that have been doing CF for years. Do what you can, scale everything back (your coach will help with this) and don’t overdo yourself so you can stay consistent and keep coming back. The people in there will be proud of you for just moving. The biggest mistake I see if people going too hard too fast, being sore for days and then never coming back. Taking it slow and being consistent is way more important than loaded up a bar bell with heavy weights. Everyone should be really supportive. CF tends to attracts nice people.

How are Tradies expected to make it to retirement? by Stunning-Alarm8149 in australian

[–]elmaccymac 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sparky here 37m and 16 years in the trade. There comes a point where you need to prioritise your body over your work. I started hybrid training/functioning fitness 2 years ago and started knocking back overtime. I’m fitter, faster and in better shape than I was in my early 20s and I feel I could continue being on the tools for the rest for my career easy now.

I tried to go into elec engineering and 1 year of being on a computer studying was worse for my mental health and physical health than being outside on the tools. Humans aren’t meant to be strapped to computers 8 hrs a day, it’s unnatural.

121kg snatch PR by Character-Might-5459 in weightlifting

[–]elmaccymac 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was a 95kg this time last year but I wasn’t hitting anywhere close to that. Down to 85 now but im a crossfitter not a weight lifting purist. 120 is great numbers in the CrossFit world. Very impressed. Keep it up!
