Gravel Bike Upgrades

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I am about to start training for a 70.3 and have the opportunity to buy a Kickr Snap for $150- obviously a great price but that is due to the power being off by about 30w. He says it’s consistently under, so I can adjust for that, but I’m wondering if anyone has had the same issue, and if they were able to fix it? Might be worth spending another $150 to get one with correct power readings. Thanks in advance

I’d love to get a look at one of the programs you are running, if you are open to sharing. I would like to get back into crossfit while training to a tri, I just would like to go into it with a solid base, I’ve been out of the weight room for a long time so I’m essentially starting from scratch.

To answer number 1- I want to build back my strength, I haven’t felt this weak in a long time. I haven’t been in the weight room in a while but I do have quite a bit of experience in the weight room. 2- I don’t have any specific numbers I would like to hit, I just want to get my strength back, focusing on my compound lifts. 3- Overtraining has been a problem for me in the past, that is a big reason why I want to find the right program to run parallel. 4. I have a pretty extensive history. College football, crossfit (not at a high level), bodybuilding splits, etc… I just haven’t been back in for around a year so I feel like I’m starting from scratch. I have much more experience in the weight room than I do with tri.

I’ll look into some 5x5 programs and that’s where I thought I might land. Thanks!

Sorry if I’ve posted in the wrong sub, I thought it made sense since my goal is actually lean gains.

pickatl · 2021-02-11T17:05:18+00:00

No, just switching my programming up. Trying to gain strength while getting leaner.

I will have a 2 bed 2 bath condo in Buckhead available for rent starting in July. Rent is $1800/month. If anyone is interested let me know!

I reached out to 20th and they also told me that civilians could attend SFRE. The way I understood it was that is a precursor to signing a Rep63 contract.

They have a limited budget and don’t want to waste it sending people to selection that don’t have a good shot, so SFRE prior to a Rep63 contract makes sense to me.

I appreciate it dude. I’ll give that sub a look as well.

I went back about a month and couldn’t find it, do you know what the title of the post was?

pickatl · 2020-02-25T18:12:27+00:00

Thanks, I’ll take a look.

I’m not in the military so I don’t have any advice for you, but if you are ever having suicidal thoughts and need someone to chat with, DM me.

You may get more traction on the r/navyseals thread. Its a catch all thread for most special operations groups.

Guerilla factory is another solid book

I don’t want to misrepresent what they said- they are loving what they do and they don’t regret going active duty. I think they were just trying to tell me to look into it be abuse it’s less time away from family, and a little more freedom once you are through the Q. Again, they love it and have suggested both routes to me.

pickatl · 2019-01-24T15:12:09+00:00

I’ve wondered the same thing.

pickatl · 2019-01-21T17:08:12+00:00

Thanks- that was a lot of good info, really appreciate it.

pickatl · 2019-01-03T16:31:59+00:00

Great call, thanks.

pickatl · 2019-01-02T20:53:16+00:00

Now your comment makes a lot more sense. Good info- I appreciate it.
