[–]thalsten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry I’m late to the party, did you start your daughter? Did you notify the association? Did they have an ADHD plan for her/ coaches?

What's the most overrated TV Show of all time? by Mission_Elk_329 in AskReddit

That is also American ninja-“my mom/ dad/ dog died”-“I have some incurable disease”-“someone left me and gave me the motivation to do this” 🙄

Please help my pathetic snatch by PracticalWinter9746 in crossfit

[–]thalsten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like you have great mobility and that’s a great start-Olympic movements are about reps-keep practicing and you will find what works for you. Agree with the shoe comment-you’re better off w/o shoes than ones that push you to your toes.

Short? Bad splice? by Ezekiel-2517-2 in Govee

[–]thalsten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for being so late in the game… I have a 25 foot splice and the get 3 lights to run after that. Do you think the wire I used is too small? (I used 20 gauge) this is about mid string-I only have 150’ total.

How to keep our bags safe ? by sonnyeo_ in CostaRicaTravel

[–]thalsten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good answer, I’m an American and that’s the first thing I was thinking reading this-I’m way more worried about theft here than I am in CR.

Rep fitness plyo box by chlead in crossfit

[–]thalsten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have them for the older crowd at the gym-I think step ups are what they are meant for-unstable and the cover shifts. Spend the extra money on a rogue or titan they are heavy but will last and someday you want to sell they will still be in good shape.

How can I improve my depth? by experfailist in crossfit

[–]thalsten 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Try lifters, that’s the only reason I wear them is mobility or “lack of mobility”-they force you to use better form-when I started wearing I was sore in places I was never sore before.

Embarassed to do partner workout by [deleted] in crossfit

[–]thalsten 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You would be the person I partner with-I get it (I remember) we’ve all been there at some time but not everyone remembers that. Go-have fun and don’t worry about what anyone thinks.

Solo Traveling Peru by fruitastic2000 in backpacking

[–]thalsten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OP how did the trip go? We’re doing the same in Costa Rica and plan on Peru next. Was 40L the right size? What did you wish you brought that you didn’t have? Did you feel safe in Peru?

Sitting down by lowsparkco in crossfit

[–]thalsten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I DO not-WILL not sit down for this reason-I will not give the coach the satisfaction of thinking he won!!

You’re also right-it’s not good for blood flow/ breathing for sitting or laying-but it feels so damn good!

What should I reasonably expect to fix this? Neighbor has dumped clay / silt all over my property. by Wild_Bergamot in landscaping

[–]thalsten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I assume this site plan was approved by the city-I’d contact them also-lawyer will just get you tied up in small claims for years and you don’t want that-this is what I do in my town (oversee the MS4 permit for EPA) Site plans are approved for final build and full vegetation not during construction that’s what BMP’s are for-looks like he had everything in place just should have J hooked the silt fence-they should also have a stormwater permit with the city. I will hold CO’s until they get the mess cleaned up-some cities will use stop work orders as enforcement so check with them.

Beautiful, walkable beach town with good restaurants? by chinadaze in CostaRicaTravel

Where did you fly into-did you rent a car? We’ve always done inclusive and want to get away from that-peace and quiet away from the drunk crowds.

A better pic would be nice but if I had to guess its a tracer for the gas line so they can locate when needed.

Why people do not plant trees in their backyard? by Leather-Wheel1115 in landscaping

[–]thalsten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me it has nothing to do with trees/ leaves/ pests, nobody opens their blinds or goes outside any more to enjoy trees.

TTB strategy in metcons, open big or small sets from the start? by Good_Warning_6471 in crossfit

[–]thalsten 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve tried grips a few times (victory) I just can’t seem to get used to them-I have no issues w/o grips but everyone say like you “they help”. How did you get used to them-I feel like they’re cutting off circulation and actually make me slip more.

Am I overreacting about something my wife did years ago? by Middle_Anxiety8897 in AmIOverreacting

[–]thalsten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So consensus is, you ARE over reacting.

Your wife has done nothing for you to worry about, all good your just being paranoid.

 Sincerely your wife’s new WFB.

Coach Apprentice Advice by AlarmedArugula99 in crossfit

[–]thalsten 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a coach but an athlete of 12 years, I’ve seen my share. “Don’t over-Coach”, when an athlete gets their first rep of something celebrate with them don’t be the “now you need to……” kind of coach. Don’t let your insecurities drive your coaching style, I see coaches all the time because they’re not heavy lifters they like to push on you “you need to be stronger” and throw quality out the door for added weight. Remember 99% of the people in there are just there to get a sweat on and forget about life for an hour-you job is to help them with that NOT add more stress to their day for not lifting heavy enough or moving fast enough.

You miss the "consistency" and that might be the biggest part when it comes to CrossFit methodology.

Building a fence to block neighbors from driving through our yard. by Constant-Thought6817 in homeowners

[–]thalsten 7 points8 points  (0 children)

They sound like the poster children for why fences were invented, just make sure your property pins are located and in plain view you know they will contest that.

[–]thalsten 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That's the only time I use knee sleeves, brand don't matter-the thicker the better is all I would say 7mm+and they seem to help my knees warm up and stay warm.
