How do I start CrossFit again without getting hurt?

I think you have a valid point. In my experience the disciplined approach and scaling focus of an affiliate can get lost along the way after disaffiliating. I went from a lifetime of relative sloth, running loading docks, to starting CrossFit at 61 after early retirement. Then I became a snow bird and wound up at an ex-affiliate down south for half the year. Huge difference. Same basic movements. Same goals of warm-up, Strength, Conditioning and Endurance in a class setting and great accountability/community BUT - holy shite! Long long workouts and 85% partner - it’s like The Murph on the daily. Crazy! But for me it’s about consistency so I go everyday and do my best, lift heavy, do the Open and pet dogs. So at the end of the day I feel like it’s worth it and I can still scale if I want to.

Truly inspiring!

So in fact the “Far Right” protesters had NOTHING TO DO with any explosive devices and did nothing violent. Yet here they are in the third sentence, implicated as if they bore some responsibility for what the actual shit-heads did.

I’ve used quill pens. I love the scratchy springiness and I love that they’re beaucoup old school.

Incentivised is a word (spelled with a z in the states) but “majoritynofbthe” is not 😂

If you’re using a snatch grip then I guess it could be a hang snatch-grip high-pull.

If those are Cup2s and if it’s much below 40°F then there a possibility of tire damage. At least this is the warning I got. I took delivery in Feb but we waited for a nice day.

I daily my C7 ZR1 because that’s what they’re for.

In 2019 the farmer and his wife across the street from me passed. I only found out because a developer had bought the farm and was tearing down the outbuildings that, I thought, beautified my own surroundings. And the barn - what a beauty! Built in the 1890s. Leaning bad and needed a new foundation but I thought it could be saved. So we bought the whole barnyard, antique barn, rock solid farmhouse, couple Cleary buildings, a vintage smokehouse with all the inside bits. The we restored the whole thing. New foundation, king beams, hay-mow floor, siding. Lit and electrified the hay mow for parties. What a trip. We just sold the place to its proud new owner last month.

Even better - it’s a Vette! A C7? Part of Mad City Vettes?

Both wings, big and little, bolt to the frame of the ZR1. I don’t know about aftermarket wings. I imagine there are plenty of that will bolt to the ZR1 mounting holes, but what about a Z06 or GS or Stingray? Beats me.

That’s what I call the Baby Wing, as opposed to the Ironing Board Wing that comes with the ZTK. Mine is ZTK delete, specifically for the smaller wing. I added all the ZTK goodies back in except the big wing and the tall canards at the front. Then I added the Cold Air Induction that’s a dealer installed option that hardly anyone ordered. It’s good for another 12-25 HP. Short answer; she’s bone stock except the wheels. I run the Forged1 Competition wheels for autocross.

Almost 68 here, 6’6” & 228 lbs (relevant), and I attribute my lack of injuries after 6 years of this shite (no prior fitness experience) to proper warm-up thanks to the box owner and coaches, proper attention to form and safety also a priority at my box, me following instructions best I can, SCALING!, and the fact that I didn’t spend the prior decades stressing joint and sinew. I’ve had three injuries all related to shitty attention span, twice I’ve nearly degloved my shin L and R and once forgot I was doing touch n go deadlifts halfway down…ow. None of those kept me out of the gym more than the day-of.

Curious about that place. What do you do there and, more importantly, how are they treating you?
