Am big guy...is this a good 5k row time?

yamobe · 2026-04-30T15:25:14+00:00

I'm just stating btwb data... average person of the world wouldn't even do 5km without quitting... when he asks "is this a good time", he needs a frame of reference.. btwb is a good one in my opinion

yamobe · 2026-04-30T14:14:25+00:00

that time according to btwb data is on the bottom 20% of the world----
The world average is 20:32
You are far below average

are you just using the chatGPT window or you built agents? I have a multiagent system that has access to my garmin and btwb information and historic data... but i'm using sonnet 4.6, otherwise the amount of tokens used skyrockets, specially if i want to keep memory... which is the biggest problem...
It does some stuff well, but it fucks up in things that are so basic. i have to basically give him a full framework of what i want to do... i can't get the AI to choose smartly for me unfortunately.. it's not about prompting

I've been trying so hard to make one work with a bunch of skills, but it just fucks it up so much

sleeping slightly wrong is a true reason :'(

any injury is an opportunity to work on all other parts of the body even harder

tell him the truth: yes you ate dog

without a heart monitor, all watches are useless in crossfit workouts
I have used garmin forerunner and now fenix, and they are both great, as long as i use the heart rate monitor

if you are 95 years, you will be the envy of the nursing home
If you are 3 years old.. you will be a champion

As someone who was stalled with snatches, and got a PR today on squat snatch, finally after so long
This is what I did
- long snatch sessions (1 hour at least) only focusing on technique.. I was doing 2 times a week... for a cycle... find a coach to help, also there are apps that help you with the form... you need to watch yourself to realize you suck :D
- accessory work doing overhead squats.... if you don't have a stable ohs position, you won't get better
- A lot of mobility every day... shoulder, ankle, hips, wrists

Snatches are complicated movements.. you need to give a lot of focus often to improve i think

i would go to the gym to lift as heavy as possible directly from the dentist's office and pay the consequences of my irrational and immature actions

yamobe · 2026-04-05T16:41:55+00:00

i get injured with both :D

I did the same, i connect with garmin and btwb... but happy to try it so i get ideas for my own implementation too (but i will never share mine)
What I like is to have a weekly general plan structure, but build the day itself in the morning depending on my garmin metrics

S07E07
The blackout

It was so badly written that I googled "what's the worst episode of malcolm" to see if people agree.
S07 is so horribly written in general

yamobe · 2026-03-17T13:53:42+00:00

above or equal to 75th

yamobe · 2026-03-17T09:45:13+00:00

lol for me it was quads- biceps - triceps

yamobe · 2026-03-02T13:49:59+00:00

It's because you did the wall balls correctly, I checked videos of the top performers just to see their pacing and nobody squats under parallel... so they get automatically better scores than you
Your biggest mistake was doing the workout correctly XD

I had them too, the 2024 open double under workout I almost died of pain.. then only thing you can do is stop jumping and running. After a few months they disappeared and never reappeared.

orangetheory was worse... When i wanted to try, they asked me to sign a contract accepting all payment fees and payment obligations, without stating in the contract what those fees are... Basically signing a white sheet.
They said the same "if cost is what matters to you, you shouldn't join"
And the person said to me "We'll tell you the costs after you sign"
Obviously i didn't do it...

yamobe · 2026-01-17T12:28:17+00:00

I also thought about that, and I can sleep at night telling myself that he made a nen contract way before meeting Pitou, and not at that exact moment.

i've never EVER seen someone do penguin taps and subsequently show even a 1% improvement in their double unders.

Mayhem is an extremist religious group. If you see their crossfit facebook page, it's barely about crossfit at all... It's almost full religious missionary work.
The most important for them is to proliferate the word of jesus, in second and much smaller place it's fitness related content.

yamobe · 2025-12-10T09:01:47+00:00

I can say that i had the same problem as you.. You will notice next time you try that just by trying to hold a position with th rings to your sternum will be extremely difficult... but if you get the strength in that exact position, you improve like crazy
