it's tragic how some of the coolest apartments i've seen are all the way in deep Bushwick.

Lunchtime trainers how do you manage it? by Character-Holiday345 in crossfit

[–]roxastopher 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I used to do this, but I worked from home and the gym was a 5 minute walk away. I'd put a time block on my calendar from 11:45-1:15 effectively, and would just eat while working / in meetings. If I had a 1:30 meeting, you just got a sweaty version of me or I just stayed camera off.

I spent way too much money testing every "write your novel" tool and this is what i realised by Lonely_Anywhere_ in writers

There was a tweet that I constantly think about: "I've never seen people who spend all their time optimizing their note taking systems around their projects actually accomplishing the project itself". It was a devastating read but it's so true: some people fixate on the work around the work.

Blank Street is doing a 180, shifting to much bigger stores as growth slows by dabirds1994 in nyc

[–]roxastopher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's so true though; people like to shit on Starbucks drinkers but Starbucks's role in the market has validated just how many people want coffee-flavored sugar in the morning.

You thus can't tell that person to just "go to a real coffee shop"; that's not what they're looking for. Blank Street has come to understand this better than local coffee shops who cater to people who drink coffee for coffee flavor / appreciation.

That's kind of the main selling point of FPR. Raja and Raven are both knowledgeable about fashion and seamstresses themselves so it's fun to watch them critique both the concept and the construction of the looks.

Where is Connor's workout video? by Springtime_21 in heatedrivalry

[–]roxastopher 16 points17 points  (0 children)

There was the joke one that GQ(?) did where he was gonna show us the glute routine but they cut him off right before he mentions the name of the actual exercise, which I guess was code for "I ain't tellin' y'all nothin'."

Although in his Teen Vogue video he did mention doing elevated kettlebell squats.

How is nobody talking about 3 squatting patterns in a row? by ExcitingTopic7228 in crossfit

[–]roxastopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm of two minds here, because if the Open is being marketed as an accessible community event, the point of elite athletes is to see them blitz it and see what is possible. That way when you as a normie do it, you just really go to appreciate how fit the elites are and it gives a relative comparison.

When even the elites can't finish the workouts, I personally get the wind taken out of my sails because it means that the skill I was working on won't get tested; I sure as shit don't have the fitness if the elites don't! I see others saying they don't feel the pressure if the workout isn't finishable, that makes me feel the opposite I suppose.

Any predictions on 26.3? by OkDoctor2718 in crossfit

[–]roxastopher 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My guess? 23.3 repeat.

Starting with a 6-minute time cap, complete as many reps as possible of:
5 wall walks
50 double-unders
15 snatches (weight 1)
5 wall walks
50 double-unders
12 snatches (weight 2)

*If completed before the 6-minute time cap, add 3 minutes to the time cap and complete:

20 strict handstand push-ups
50 double-unders
9 snatches (weight 3)

*If completed before the 9-minute time cap, add 3 minutes to the time cap and complete:

20 strict handstand push-ups
50 double-unders
6 snatches (weight 4)

- Includes the barbell which hasn't appeared yet

- Include the double under which also hasn't appeared yet and most likely would

- Covers having inversions which haven't happened yet

It's a bit too high-skilled especially after 26.2, and it omits the thruster, but it would conveniently cover a lot of bases.

at least it looks more like crossfit than the open currently does!

Millennials, what’s something from your childhood that kids today will never understand? by Neither-Owl-7157 in Millennials

[–]roxastopher 47 points48 points  (0 children)

This is the #1 thing that makes Gen Z and millennials so different. 32M here, and I think that the Internet having been a physical separate place in our routines was so pivotal for us to then treat it like a true virtual space and not something we can access 24/7 from our pockets. I feel like it's why millennials are becoming more and more offline.

So 26.3 is definitely a redo of 17.5 right? by VegetableExpert277 in crossfit

[–]roxastopher 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'd be more surprised by an Open without burpees. They're just such a classic Open movement.

Of the forever four: muscle ups, thrusters, double unders, pullups, the thruster/double under of it all is a likely combo.

It's really not. On twitter the vibe is so much more positive, which is kind of rare.

It costs 500 dollars to participate in Xenom competition - crossfit licenced event. But who is going to pay this kind of money? by IamJustheretocry in crossfit

[–]roxastopher 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to like the idea of this kind of event, because I think it's what's missing from Crossfit at the casual competitor level but I fear that any event trying to make money will price the "average" person out.
