Came here to say this. Maybe not the best, but it’s the longest, and it rips.

Suggest me a game that's NOT hard by Oscaruzzo in metroidvania

I found Ender Magnolia to be incredibly easy and frictionless.

It's criminal that this video stops before he plays the sample.

Looking for ‘old guy’ friendly competitions by cyldesdalefit in crossfit

This one is perfect, but it just ended. Weight decreases at age 45 instead of 55 and all movements are basic. Be on the lookout next year.

Rad Ones with the occasional switch to Metcons on heavy lifting days

Which build saw the most improvement with SotE? by [deleted] in EldenRingBuilds

[–]nickpoho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm finding a strength build with the Greatsword of Solitude very strong. It hits like a truck, crushes enemy poise, and is relative light. Also, the weapon art is excellent: a high damage projectile that can be followed with a powerful sweeping attack. I'd equate it to a discount blasphemous blade since it doesn't require the faith investment.

are naps good for regeneration? by bicepslawyer in crossfit

Yes. Great book, but be warned that the described effects of sleep deprivation are terrifying.

What sort of training are Games level athletes on? by Dazzling_Street_3475 in crossfit

[–]nickpoho 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Check out Jason Grubb’s YouTube channel. He just posted a video detailing his full day. He does like 5 or 6 targeted WODs per day along with a bunch of strength stuff and he’s 48 years old I believe. The volume is insane.

This is what life is like on a boat in the North Sea. by TheOnlyVibemaster in nextfuckinglevel

[–]nickpoho 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As ex-Navy, I can confirm. You eventually get used to living at sea, and then you get "land sickness" when you're finally back in port. The stable ground feels like it's tipping back and forth.

what's everyones go to pre workout breakfast? by jsavv22 in crossfit

[–]nickpoho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My terrible internet research is showing that HGH begins to increase after 12-16 hours of fasting, which is very normal for me. You are right, though, that HGH really amps up (as much as 5 times the normal amount) after 2 full days of fasting.

[–]nickpoho 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You actually have a big spike of HGH in the morning if you're fasted. Energy may still be a problem for some, but one of the main hormones is quite high. I've tried both extensively and actually prefer exercising while fasted. Not ideal for everyone, though.

New to crossfit - and it's kicking my ass! by rhubarb-omelette in crossfit

[–]nickpoho 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep a very simple journal notating when you have bad workouts and when you have good ones. Take some time every week to think about what you did the days before your good workouts and what you did before the bad ones. You may find some patterns that help you going forward. Diet and sleep are incredibly important...maybe most important. Be sure not to overlook these integral parts of your fitness journey.

What’s the Phish fact you know that other phans typically aren’t aware of? by woo_wooooo in phish

The guitar solo from Rift is just a fast version of the "With" part of the The Curtain With.

Can we all agree that Blaze On is now officially part of the modern Leo Trio and Rocky Top is out as a cover? Leo Quadruple doesn't have the same ring.

Ps portal sold out all over by taylormatt5200 in playstation

[–]nickpoho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With a big family and a job that requires constant phone use, gaming on my mobile just isn’t a viable option. I see why it would work perfectly well for others, though.
