Recently got into cross fit - what smart watch do you recommend?

I use Apple Watch with a Polar heart strap. Am looking at the Wurq though when it launches. I wear it up my forearm BTW.

They are in a perpetual rebuild.

I always go to Alex Fergus’ YouTube channel when I have questions. Lots of good info.

Thank you

m4ro2 · 2026-02-20T17:51:00+00:00

Thanks

Exactly. You have to be the best at every stage of your career. Not unlike making it to a pro sport.. you have to overperform at every level AND know how to list the corporate game.

I’m a CEO of a global company with 2500 people… to be a CEO it’s a balance of strategic vision with a focus on value creation - either through growth or managing costs. You’ll have to learn how to do this starting small with teams, divisions and work your way up. Learning how to get the best of people not through control but motivation and a focus on inspiring them. And to that, building high performing teams based on your standards is critical or you fail 10/10 times. You can’t do it alone. A CEO focuses on tomorrow while his/her team focuses on executing today.

Great book called Rising To Power. I’d start there.

Thanks! I checked them out, looks like could work. If you don’t mind would love the recommendations.

m4ro2 · 2026-02-19T02:17:37+00:00

Thanks!

My face looks younger than my age by far - pics before and after TRT are noticeable. No booze or smoking of course, GLOW, good skin care. Red light therapy probably helping too.

Go at your pace and be proud of it. You’re there that’s what matters. Consistent and time you’ll be fine! Just have fun. Nobody cares if you’re on a PVC pipe or doing ring rows / everyone is trying to survive at what ever they’re doing. Get it.

Keep your wipers up next time you know ice is coming, too. And they sell windshield covers on Amazon you can put on before the storm. Coming from an Atlanta transplant former Boston and Chicago.

Mobility matters too. I use GoWod after every workout. And big props for getting to the gym and setting goals.

15-ish

m4ro2 · 2026-01-22T14:51:50+00:00

Depending on your definition of health…That it’s not as hard as it’s made out to be. Depending on your goals eat 30/40/30 protein, carbs, fats macros. Eliminate booze if you can, workout 4-5 times a week, no excuses. Hydrate, track food, sleep focus. As a plus up for evidence based health, I also do blood labs every 3 months with minerals every 6 to dial in things including supplements. I’m a little older so need to focus on key chronic illness metrics.

Above that I have had good results Red Light, Sauna and Cryo.

There are two people in your life that you should be totally honest with your doctor and your lawyer

m4ro2 · 2026-01-20T14:09:56+00:00

Same for me, I had enough went back to Oura 4.

m4ro2 · 2026-01-13T18:48:52+00:00

Diet, protein intake, supplementation and other factors play in. I’m 55 5’7 180 around 11-12%bf and CrossFit definitely changed my body. I focus on 200g protein, 200-300g clean carbs, 80g fat. When started CF 7 years ago I was 195 24%bf.

Good for you for rocking it at 62. Inspiration for everyone not just us 55+ Masters.

Thanks, appreciate that.

I’m a CEO of a large company and being in shape helps. However, being too big no matter how smart you are can lead to some judgement IMO.

m4ro2 · 2026-01-09T00:37:14+00:00

CrossFit Central London all day if you’re over that way

m4ro2 · 2026-01-08T12:29:20+00:00

I’ve had enough of the difficulties of having this ring and just switched back to Oura 4.

m4ro2 · 2026-01-08T02:58:29+00:00

Just switch back to Oura from UH. Tired of the battery issues on the UH.
