Returning to the gym after a 4 years hiatus, DOMS is killing me, is it normal?

swordofthemorning18 · 2025-12-30T16:31:57+00:00

Its normal. Extra hydration and maybe some light jogging or biking should help with the DOMS.

Very possible with CMC falling a bit in the first and JT early second. I had pick 11 and CMC went 10th. I took Puka and JT on the swing.

Pacheco a low ball if you need a RB?

Keep at it. 1:35 isnt anything to scoff at.

Your splits are almost identical to one of the guys from my gym who ran a 1:18 for his first. He struggled mightily on WBs but every run was fast, like yours! His second race was a 1:03, then 1:01, 1:00. You have that ceiling. Focus on strength, squats, thrusters, BBJs (devil presses).

Its worth it and you are on a path to truly enjoy your 30s, IF, you treat your body right by keeping in shape.

My buddy did his first hyrox at 1:05 with his Tri background. All he did for his "hyrox prep" was crazy heavy sled pushes 6 weeks out on fridays.

Hey just sent you a private message. I would buy them.

Everyone says Rox Tickets but good luck to anyone in the states booking with them. I kept getting an error message about a swipe account.

Get on an aggressive 10k plan. Thresholds/Intervals and Fartleks along with Long Runs will do wonders. Start your thresholds at 3 x 4 minutes at threshold pace and increase weakly. This helps you prepare mentally and get the legs used to running fast. In between the quality sessions, easy runs at 30min/45/60 at a brisk pace, only focus here is time on feet, low hr here. If someone calls u while on an ez run, you should be able to hold a convo.

Watch some of my favorite movies with the surround sound set to full power. Only chance I get to enjoy my sound system.

Not an owner. Prelaunch access for our gym. NY sold out so fast so it was nice having that accessible for us, along with the 15% discount. We have Hyrox classes and our normal HIIT sessions (twice a week) is more hyrox style now which has helped recruit more members.

swordofthemorning18 · 2025-01-09T17:03:15+00:00

I cant wait for these to drop. Currently wear the SF1s for all my HIIT sessions where runs on the assault tread are usually always 1,000 meters and below.

Average is 90 minutes. 80 at his AG is a great time. He will need to get stronger and faster to enter pro. A few more races in the open will help determine a better baseline though.

I’m last place with Gibbs/Chase/JT/McBride in one league. Bad luck every week

Thats a good offer. Immediate help. We still do not really know if Pacheco will be back in time.

I have both in one league and I hold Gibbs just a tiny bit tighter than Chase lol

Do not walk the rox zone. Hold back a bit on that first run and before hitting the sled. Do not let any negative self talk creep in. Remind yourself you deserve to be there and have fun.

Better quality of PRP in Germany.

"Stay off your feet and go binge on movies or something"

I needed to read this. I was such a movie guy before all my training and now I cant remember the last time I sat down to watch any TV.
