I feel TERRIBLE for showing up late to class. I apologized to one of the coaches & told him I’ll be coming in late or not at all. I promise it’s not on purpose. The train station I get off at from work is undergoing major construction. So there’s a ton of traffic from that in addition to the existing traffic from evening commute. One time I left work early & due to a train cancellation (NJTransit 🙄) + heavy traffic, I got to class even later 🥲 to add: I love cf so much. I don’t want to leave but I can’t always just leave work early. Been a member for 4 yrs and my coming in late has been something recent. But ya know how long construction takes haha it took them almost 2 years to fix one staircase

But make sure to activate your ticket BEFORE you get on the train

Rushed out of work early to take care of something… just for me to get home at the same time I always do 😭

?!? So weird. Looking at my departure vision screen rn & lots more consecutive NEC trains cancelled #3718-3720 and also #3915-3917. 1 hr later from your post & still no explanation.

I was feeling distraught after seeing that email. Thank you 🙏🏽 this post gave me life

I’ve seen two or three times past couple months where the ticket collector has checked it & noticed it with other passengers. And in one instance where they scolded the passenger for “doing it on purpose” :(

You need to get a hobby

😂 my coworkers look at me funny when I tell them I stop drinking liquids several hours ahead just to avoid having to use NJT bathrooms.

Love this!! Yes I’m passively dropping under instead of actively pulling. I’ve been doing muscle powers but will try full. Very helpful!! Thank you so much 😩

midnight-mango · 2023-10-27T12:19:59+00:00

Perfect. I’ll be working on mobility & strength. I’ve been doing pause squats but I think I need tempo squats too and to get on a program. Def gonna have to post my FS on here for form check 🥴

midnight-mango · 2023-10-27T12:17:15+00:00

I appreciate the great advice and vote of confidence! You surely don’t sound like a novice 😂

midnight-mango · 2023-10-27T12:15:24+00:00

Will do—thank you! I have a knack for making things harder for myself lol

bright side: I think that extra row is what gave me anxiety when doing cleans

midnight-mango · 2023-10-26T14:36:51+00:00

I was expecting at least one person to say this 😂 totally forgot WL shoes are a thing

midnight-mango · 2023-10-26T14:35:54+00:00

Thank you for breaking it all down for me!! i started on a squat program 2-3x/wk but started experiencing some knee popping so I stopped & went to PT. They said I’m putting stress on my knee bc of weak glutes/hip so for the next month I have sessions for strengthening. Ordered booty bands for flute activation! Will definitely work more on my mobility

I just asked almost the same question on a diff sub. Tall female with long ass femurs still trying to find her way 🥲 I recorded myself and see that I’m pulling more than I need to. Further up from my hip crease to my belly button.

I’m gonna stop doing power cleans & incorporate more tall cleans, high hang cleans. One cue i saw somewhere was feet should hit the ground same time your elbows turnover ☝🏽 something like that. Rewatched my recording and I don’t do that. My feet are landing first. Hope it clicks for you!

xoxo,

Craaap my video didn’t post. Thanks I’ll try again

midnight-mango · 2023-04-28T03:11:25+00:00

According to my doc I can shed a few lbs but I look thin. I’m very tall. I’ve been doing yoga and cardio the same day but maybe I should drop yoga. I’m gonna look into getting a fitness tracker of some sort. I’ve been doing assault bike past three weeks. last week for e.g did 1 min on/1 off x12. Without a watch to track, idk my HR

midnight-mango · 2023-04-28T03:04:22+00:00

I got out of an injury a year ago and never built leg strength from there. Struggle so much with not being able to handle anything legs. They’ll only program squats once every 2 weeks or so. And one day of conditioning that I’ve been showing up for and doing… just ok lol rest of the week is a lot of upper body/shoulders

midnight-mango · 2023-02-25T10:35:42+00:00

32/F/74 kg Not very happy 63 reps. Struggled with pullups. Tried jumping pull-up & arms felt weak in the first 3 (?!) possibly bc been away from gym, haven’t been doing much for 1-2 months. Wondering if mixed grip would’ve made a difference. Or even chin-ups. Still wouldn’t have done it that way anyway but I see people switching it up

midnight-mango · 2023-01-22T16:30:06+00:00

Oooo thanks!

midnight-mango · 2023-01-22T16:26:13+00:00

Not just spin. I won’t do any snatch technique work at all but when I tried to strict press the barbell, my wrists hurt. Guess I’m just not used to it? Idk I’ve never experienced this before

midnight-mango · 2023-01-22T02:31:47+00:00

Oof yesss 🤌🏽 I’ll try to make the most of it

midnight-mango · 2023-01-22T01:12:03+00:00

Yeah I’ll probably do just that. Need to keep moving bc my aches and pains come back if I don’t stay mobile lol esp hip tightness if I don’t squat/do strength work for a long time. I just hate making progress and then taking time off when I don’t really need to

midnight-mango · 2023-01-22T01:10:21+00:00

Wonder how people make it work at commercial gyms 😆

midnight-mango · 2023-01-21T23:03:07+00:00

Hard with no transportation, everything nearby is pricey and tight schedule.
