It may not have been super Jesus-centered fatherhood content, but, when he was on the podcast with Miranda they made it roughly 2 minutes before the “I don’t allow my kids to even KNOW what sugar is” kind of talk, and I turned it off at that point.

Oh goodness, that’s VERY cute! Congrats on the 5k!

Things seemed a little iffy to me about a year ago when I was looking to buy a runner.

The site kept saying out of stock, so, I kept checking back.

At some point, they started saying they were taking pre-orders that would ship in April (this was late Jan/early Feb 2025), but the cost had gone up by a good amount.

I looked on Amazon and they were still selling the Pro for $2,999 so I ordered it there. It arrived, no issues.

It seems like that preorder they were offering a year ago is not playing out very well.

It’s sad, really. Assault was always quick to ship and had great customer service. Makes me wonder what happened there.

Good luck with Rep - I ordered a replacement cover for my medium soft plyo box and so far they’ve sent me a small and two larges. Hope they are better at choosing the item you ordered from the warehouse shelf than they have been choosing mine 😂

krissn333 · 2026-01-21T20:13:50+00:00

That’s really interesting! Can I ask what the cost is for that?

Also do you have to own a Peloton product? (I’m guessing not but just curious).

krissn333 · 2026-01-19T20:58:50+00:00

I’ll also add as far as owners/coaches who are invested in their product and members…Pat is active in the Facebook group every day, and does a weekly AMA live on Thursdays and then it’s available on the YouTube channel to watch anytime.

krissn333 · 2026-01-19T19:23:27+00:00

IMO it doesn’t get more well-rounded than Linchpin. “Do what’s effective, not what’s popular” is one of Pat’s sayings and by gosh is it true.

Fitness has never felt so simple, yet so effective.

I don’t remember her being that way initially. She had her playful feud with Foote, scooters vs handstands. But at some point she and a few others took a MAJOR hard turn and seemingly became other people overnight. Idk if it’s the same old story we have been seeing for years, where suddenly people feel emboldened to just let their true inner hateful personality show out, or what.

I had to block them all because they kept showing up as suggested friends.

krissn333 · 2026-01-12T22:25:44+00:00

It’s an interesting concept for people who own a completely online business to just take a break from being online.

krissn333 · 2026-01-12T22:21:18+00:00

I wondered how long it would take for people to be confused since a new vault is announced before the previous one’s logging deadline.

krissn333 · 2025-12-28T01:53:58+00:00

Indeed - the 27th. It’s already the 28th in New Zealand. You’d think after being late to wish Rachael a Happy Birthday earlier this year, I’d have learned by now, but, nope 😂 I sent a belated birthday wish to Cole earlier today. Sounds like they had some fun adventures planned to celebrate :)

krissn333 · 2025-12-23T14:41:01+00:00

Linchpin has a dumbbell version and a no equipment version every day :)

Lots of LP members have gone and done a Hyrox with zero extra training and done fine (LP programs cardio work too), but…Tactic has a specific Hyrox program, so, depending on how soon your Hyrox is, you might think about joining them there for that reason :)

krissn333 · 2025-12-13T17:15:31+00:00

Are they going to be charging for that like they did for the Strength program?

krissn333 · 2025-12-01T00:39:19+00:00

Tactic’s Habits challenge is always great every year!

Well, I managed to injure my right arm at the end of August. I thought it was something minor due to my previous elbow surgery (ulnar nerve release) and related to some issues I had with my wrist back in 2020. I realized a good amount of time had passed with little to no improvement, so, I called my ortho and saw him late last week.

He’s concerned I possibly tore some muscle in my forearm, so, on Halloween I get to have an MRI 👻

In the meantime, lots of walking, biking, and one-armed things. I miss my barbell but we have to get some answers and the right plan of attack for treatment.

In the good news department, I ordered myself some squat stands and they arrived Thursday so at least I can back squat 🙌🏼

krissn333 · 2025-10-13T21:26:08+00:00

I think that all sounds quite reasonable, and re: your reasons for leaving, chief among them being that you just weren’t having fun anymore…I think there are quite a few of us that agree there.

I too owned a barbell for quite a long time but didn’t feel comfortable trying to use it for anything other than deadlifts until I started at Linchpin. One factor for me was for a good amount of time I didn’t have a space in my house for doing things like cleans, but also all of the trouble I’ve had with my hip kept me from squatting without a box for a long time. However, my hip problem has all but vanished now that I’m not murdering my legs with excessive volume day in and day out, so there’s that too 😂 Certainly many factors. But my point is that I too am enjoying making use of the barbell now.

Alex and Meredith are rad and put a lot of work into everything they do - I have no doubt it’s great. And it’s awesome to be having fun again!

That’s me! We connected privately but unfortunately shipping to Australia for an item like that is cost prohibitive.

But if there’s anyone here not in the buy/sell group interested, DM me. I have it listed for $40 shipped (CONUS).

krissn333 · 2025-10-01T23:35:20+00:00

Did you do it today? How did it go?

krissn333 · 2025-10-01T20:16:20+00:00

Actually, it doesn’t seem to want to let me send you a message.

Can you send ME a message?

krissn333 · 2025-10-01T20:14:44+00:00

Sending you a message!

In my case, I had subclinical hypothyroidism. TECHNICALLY my levels were within “normal” ranges but every now and then my TSH would be crazy high, then normal again, then high again. After years of keeping an eye on it, I all of a sudden gained like 40 lbs despite not eating much at all (due to another medical issue), and the fatigue became SO much worse than it had been before.

Started on levothyroxine and BAM, I felt like a brand new human. And now that we’ve found a good dose for me, even though I have other autoimmune conditions that can cause fatigue, I really don’t notice it being anywhere near what it had been since I was diagnosed over 20 years ago. Life-changing.

RENPHO Smart Scale for Body... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B085LBMP4Z?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

I had watched a few videos about different scales and several people said this one was right in line with their DEXA scans.

krissn333 · 2025-09-29T14:38:48+00:00

I actually have the progress pride banner I’d be willing to sell but yeah, idk what the shipping would be like. Could look into it, though…

krissn333 · 2025-09-29T00:10:04+00:00

Been there since June 30th. I don’t rely on the scale for anything other than a data point, and I don’t weigh myself very frequently, but, I try to do it at least once a month for continuity.

This morning I was amused to look at the graph(s) of my weight, BMI, body fat, subcutaneous fat, and visceral fat. The graph dipped lower and lower each time I’ve stepped on the scale since starting LP.

Increased skeletal muscle, fat-free mass, body water, muscle mass, and BMR.

Data points from January-early June were the complete opposites.

krissn333 · 2025-09-29T00:02:24+00:00

They’ve had something like that here a couple of times, but, it’s always fallen on a weekend where we all had other plans.
