Couple weeks ago I purchased the King-Sized Killer routine. I haven't done a lot of snatches since I did my test a couple years ago, when I went with the 24kg and hit 124 reps in 4:37 and stopped with a torn blister. Since then I've only done snatches here and there, like throwing a little spice on the end of a workout or something, but no real snatch training or practice at all, and I have really missed them!

So I am diving in and it's been… interesting. I started out with the 24 again, as a warmup, with the plan to use the 28 for the program. Made it like 10 minutes and got a ripped blister. However, I was very pleasantly surprised how the rest of my body felt! Particularly in my trunk I

I have to make pizza for my son’s birthday tonight, and was planning to do it outdoors where I can hit high temps on the kamado, but it looks like rain is forecasted for this evening. So moving inside, and want to get some nice char on my crust and I don’t think my stone is going to cut it at 525°. Can anyone help?

4 weeks ago after my first session of 2x28kg DFW programming, I made a post that was essentially me not understanding what “grinding” was or whatever. I was having a hard time getting the third rep up with a little push-press boost in my 1-2-3 ladders. I took the advice given, proceeded to work my way through the program and was getting 30-35 clean reps per session, depending on the structure. Impressed myself getting the 5 rung ladder. Felt pretty strong! Today was the final day and I tested for 32kg 5RM. Got 4.5 (left side just couldn’t finish the 5th). I can totally get it tomorrow though. So I feel like it’s there. I’m really impressed with the progress I made. I wasn’t expecting to be a

Sup y’all. Finished up ABC last week, started DFW today and I just want a quick bit of advice on weight. So day one is the 1/2/3 ladders, and in my third round I had to ever-so-slightly push-press the 3 rung up, and again on the 4th round. Does this mean I’m going too heavy? I am using my true 5RM. Thanks.

I am 49 years old. Been working towards it for around 3 months. Nothing super crazy, not super disciplined. Was alternating A-B-A week (ABC, humane burpee, ABC), B-A-B week (burpee ABC burpee) and adding a couple reps every ABA week. This week I was supposed to do 28, but I didn’t want to continue for another two weeks so I did all 30 haha. Honestly the rest in between sets felt harder than the work. Breath work is real. Anyway, I feel pretty proud of myself right now. That is all.

Old Baratza Vario-W, refurbished in ‘21 with new steel burrs and some kind of metal housing upgrade of something or other. Burrs are in great shape, size adjustment works fine. It’s old but still works great. I’m just moving towards single dose and using my new 1zpresso. Asking $100, buyers pays shipping if not local.

Mods, this is my first time posting here. If I’m missing anything, let me know.

It seems to be fairly accepted that there’s bots early in the season, and at lower ranks particularly, but then you hit that wall where you just bounce up n down for weeks while trying to hit infinite (or in my case, 90). The disparity between the ease and quickness climbing early compared to the slog later makes it very obvious that the difficulty is, at some point, predetermined. I’m not suggesting that 2ndD is (still) using cheater bots to win, it that there’s deck based matchmaking, to make the climb harder.

What I am suggesting is that the artificial ease of climbing early gets removed later and that disparity makes the game less fun. It makes winning feel less meaningful early. Gettin

Hey all. I got a Cadi plate loadable mace recently, and in addition to doing heavy 360s and 10-2s and all the lunges and that strength stuff, I’m interested in learning some flow stuff too. It looks really fun. Only thing is I’m having a hard time finding plates that are physically small enough in diameter that they aren’t hindering movement patterns. Anyone else use a Cadi for flow or have any suggestions?

I have a big dummy, for about 7 years was very happy with xtracycle v2 bags but they finally wore out about a year ago. They aren’t made anymore, and there aren’t really a lot of options that I could find so I went with the Surly bags. I’m on my second set in less than a year and just found that this set is falling apart, too. Anyone have any recommendations?

I have a Deco system I’m not using if anyone needs a WiFi router.
