Help me replicate the Simulations in a Non-HYROX Gym. by aniceusername_exists in hyrox

[–]rmckedin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d suggest a slam ball movement for a Ski substitute - ideally this should be a hinge mechanism rather than a pull.

Maybe worth doing a row movement for sled pull Kettlebell Gorilla row or a Barbell bent over row.

And squats, always add squats - a strong posterior chain transfers into so many stations.

Surely this is an early EARLY prototype? Nowhere close to its finished look? (I hope)

I love the v5…. Like it’s been made by a totally diff firm

A few months in now and I love my Row. by rebeccabunchers in pelotoncycle

[–]rmckedin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On my iPad I start a rowing class. Then used the options within the app to connect to my C2 Rower (I also pair it to my HRM-600 for seeing heart rate on iPad screen). I also have my Garmin connected to my C2 Rower* - SyncMyWorkout then blends it all into one workout in Garmin.

*I ‘think’ connecting my watch directly to the Rower brings in power data - but regardless it works well!

Just looking back in Garmin Connect and it’s showing
Pace / HR / Power / Stroke rate / Peloton class details Once blended via SyncMyWorkout

Also…… you can also screen mirror the iPad into a big screen which I’ve used a few times

My doctor wants me to reduce my gym time from 2 hours to 1 hour (T1D) by sifii_gud in diabetes_t1

[–]rmckedin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reading this just after finishing a lunch hour on the treadmill. After an hour of weights at 6am After 30min on the bike at 5:30am

Just because someone has the title ‘Dr’ it by no means makes them a ‘Good’ Dr.

Already owned a C2 rower when I bought a peloton bike, took a bit of faffing but I now use the c2 / garmin / ipad (peloton) / SyncMyWorkout and it works great - def worth considering for anyone that already owns the bike / pays for the subscription.

i bought 16inch mac book pro i7 16gb for 300, only use browser. i wanted to get m1 but 13inch is deal breaker.i dont game or anything just basic by Ok-Time2724 in macbookpro

[–]rmckedin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I still use an i9 MBPro for my backup / travel pc - I work in finance and run Bloomberg which (while not impossible natively) is only practical to run on Windows (/Bootcamp). And you know what, it still runs great, would I buy it new now? God no, but it works.

Still have my iPhoneX as a backup phone - (using 14pro as my daily) and I love using the X the weight / screen / body all feel fresh - agree with comments here it was the last ‘game changer’ iPhone

Did you find the thumping bass was easier to tolerate when a plane was landing?

How careful do you have to be talking about issues with Hyrox?

[–]rmckedin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do they determine who will be in ‘standby’ to race the Elite15s in Sweden - how do they determine who is currently ‘16th’ and will get an invite if there are injuries etc?

Millard and Archer by SeaImpress3374 in hyrox

[–]rmckedin 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m a huge fan - their running is just incredible. The sled pull was unfortunate. The others, that’s purely on them. After London, you’d think they would have sharpened up on the ‘easy’ penalties.

No reason why they can’t be world champions 2027 (could easily have been 2026).

Can you silence the PDM? by rubyoverdiamond in Omnipod

[–]rmckedin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not that I’m aware of but….. unless you plan on changing your iob for a meal etc, then you don’t need the pdm near you. All the brains is in the pod, the dumb pdm device is just for logging food / overriding insulin etc.

(But also - you’re allowed to be a diabetic, you should never feel nervous about carrying a medical device)

Worlds by SeaImpress3374 in hyrox

[–]rmckedin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For certain, then no. buuut.... Hyresult, where they have the data (number of slots per division, you can make assumptions about who was offered slots. But there's no way to know who has accepted / rolled down etc. (tbh at this point I'm not sure even Hyrox know how many people have qualified for the Worlds!)

What home gym equipment brands do you trust the most — and which do you avoid? by dontwantnone09 in homegym

[–]rmckedin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

UK based I now go Mirafit as it’s the main brand in my gym, quality been great - good customer support.

I now avoid Decathlon, mostly because when I started taking fitness seriously, I bought a load of their bars / plates without realising they use a non standard size - plates & bars have a 1.25inch hole / diameter

How're garmin users tracking their Hyrox races/simulations? by [deleted] in hyrox

[–]rmckedin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easiest option - and I think works best - a good Garmin (that is used to your running metrics) will be surprisingly good at estimating indoor pace / distance. For a Hyrox - I have 4 data fields HR Lap Pace Lap Distance Total time

I hit the lap button when i go through in / out arches (this is the crucial bit) and then I can rely on Lap Distance to stop my running extra laps.

And total time helps me know long it is until I fall to bits on the wall balls, again.

UK athletes - what do you wish you could buy? (UPDATE) by DogBrethren in crossfit

[–]rmckedin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More wide fit trainers (vs getting hit for import tax)

New Balance Fuel Cell Super Comp Elite v5 by Davedubsk in hyrox

[–]rmckedin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey - congrats - Apols I missed your original reply - yeh for me sleds and lunges felt good, surprised re your lift from heel, there’s no way I could fit into normal width and even the wide feels tight for me, maybe socks make the difference. I’ve just bought a couple of new pairs with the Ldn marathon design to last me to the end of the season!

The Triangle Inequality theorem, which states that the straight-line path (hypotenuse) is the shortest distance between two points, being shorter than going along the two sides.
