$65 a week wtf?

Is crossfit not something you can do by yourself at a $15 a week gym?

well i work sales in a gym actually so i got free membership and the facilities are very well equipped

it's more so the knowledge i want to pick up but bear in mind it's more than just crossfit, it's also the muay thai etc i'm interested in

i've done martial arts and been to several fight gyms before and prices per week for unlimited classes would equate to almost or about the same price for just martial arts

so combined 65 per week for a variety of styles and classes isn't so bad and olympic lifting (barbell classes) is what i want to pick up to higher level and i can't do that alone from watching youtube videos

How many gyms are equipped for Olympic weightlifting and coaching for $15?

It is something that you could teach yourself eventually.

You once posted a video of your benchpress and had a lot of not so optimal things pointed out...if you'd paid a bit more to have a coach, people on this forum wouldn't of had to coach you.

I asked if he was paying $65 a week to do crossfit and he already answered my question thanks

And no, no one here has ever coached me with my bench press, nor has anyone in real life. In fact I've never received training or coaching from anyone, amateur or professional, for any exercise I do. All that was said in regard to my video was Markos' doubting that the bar was reaching my chest due to the obscured view.

Unlike your analysis I actually used items of proportion not static amounts based on an unknown bodyweight lol

Of proportion? Cut out a meal and lower fats? What proportion are those measurements you gave?

Mine were grams per body weight. So it doesn't matter what body weight the person is, the ratios are still the same but the end total will be different.

Practice what you're trying to preach here.

Oh my mistake, didn't realise it was the 'obscured view'

You told him to operate at a 500 calorie deficit lol

  • 2 weeks later...

Gastro can EAD, over the last 4 days I have survived on about 5 peices of toast and a box of ORS.

I dare say if you are pushed for weight loss gastro might meet your weight loss needs, you don't even need to leave the security of your bath room.

Did I mention that gastro can EAD.

At the very least, your insulin sensitivity might've benefited a little lol

And agree with Birds. It's quite similar even when you're not unwell; only the psychological 'hunger' remains. Just annoying that when it's easy to fast because you're sick, it's bad for recovery....because you're sick :(

My body hasn't stopped flushing out for 5 days now, put something in, wait 20 minutes and out it comes.

The only keeping me sane and hydrated is the hydration salts that I'm chugging through.

As for eating, nothing spends enough time in the gut to be of any real benefit.

I am averaging 1 roll of TP for my bung hole every day.

Will throw myself on the scale this arvo to review the damage.

Ended up dropping 4ish kg, will see what its done to my strength during next weeks program.

Will take a few weeks to get strength back mate.

I ended up having a heap of time off due to various reasons and the main one is i kept getting sick on and off for about 6 weeks. Started back this week and very impressed with how strong i am considering. But sore... Wow never have i got this sore from training. I dont want a break like this ever again i can barely move haha

    • Gosh these Rb pulleys/alternator or whatever is causing the problem is absolute rubbish lol. Haven't even done that many km on it.
    • Yeah man, will only progress further hopefully. The bonnet is coming off to get sprayed very soon
    • Once the belt slips it can very easily cause a cascade that encourages more belt slip. Check the pulleys carefully and see if the grooves have cupped. If it has it's time to replace the pulleys. If the rubber has glazed you also need to replace it. Shouldn't be shiny. From the factory there's a lot of exposed fibers(?) on a v-belt that will go away as it's broken in but some should still remain visible without sticking out significantly like a new belt. I went through this on my dad's Camry recently. It would keep slipping even after setting the tension higher, only solution was a new belt.
    • Belt polished and/or pulley(s) glazed. Rub pulleys with sandpaper, replace belt.
    • I've also got a quick jack. I would never get under my car again without using it.  While it might be quicker to use a jack and stands, it is such a quality of life improvement that I wouldn't have it any other way now.  How much slower the quick jack is to setup will be based on your circumstances. Can you leave the jack rails on each side of the garage? Can you leave the hydraulic lines attached? etc.  If you can drive the car into the garage and simply push the jacking rail thingos under the car into place, it is super quick to setup and use. But if you have to pull the pump unit out of storage, attach the hydraulic lines, wheel out the lifting rail thingos.... yeah takes a bit of time. Having said that, I would still prefer that to using a jack and stands lol.
