It does really feel like John McCain right now though 😂

I would not attempt 40’s to start

Alternating 12 reps is 6 each side. Class was programmed in a way that this was definitely a harder one

Ok I will attempt

💪💪💪

I did it with 30’s

40’s seemed to be too much. Gives me a goal.

💪💪

I have to try all your mace Viking stuff. That’s gonna be a challenge

Fun as long as you don’t hit yourself with it. I grazed my back one time with the mace I had a nasty bruise. 😂

Oh wow! I remember the video you showed last week of the mace with stick doing Viking lunges. Imagine hitting yourself with that. In the knee or something 😂

😂 you do not want to do that. it is difficult to hit yourself but not impossible.

That would be extremely painful. And would probably heal weird 😂

There is one exercise where you use the mace to strengthen your aikido throws you have to move your head out of the way to perform correctly. I could only imagine if you got yourself

Or if you’re a bit tired or not focused just once. Oof

As soon as you handle it, it is kinda of hard to get yourself simply because it immediately focuses your attention.

Right. Just the weight and holding the stick must make you focus I imagine

Started to feel some discomfort while doing it with 40s. Reverted to 30s. I lasted 3 weeks lol. Don’t want to injure myself

Don’t want to mess up the shoulders. It can set back everything. It makes every day a leg day. 😂

As soon as I felt the discomfort, it was time to take a step back. No need for injuries. Ego lifting is dumb.

Everyday a leg day is extreme 🤣🤣

True!

I have been guilty of ego lifting many times.

Especially, in the beginning when I was inexperienced. What’s interesting is that you get more progress from less weight, something your body can handle at that time

Yes. A weight you can handle properly is far superior to a weight you can barely manage.

And in the end why are we really doing this, to feel better and be more prepared for the future.

Longevity is the goal. Yes

👍 don’t want to injure yourself practicing injury prevention 😂

Would be ironic 😂

That’s why I don’t get the appeal for CrossFit, as a way to get in shape I mean. I have friends that practice it. I mean, they’re well rounded athletes but they also have injuries most of the time. Wrist, back, the list goes on

It has the most pectoral tears. It really is a shit method of training. My mantra is stimulant don’t annihilate

Love watching the competitions at a pro level. But totally agree. For fitness goals, it makes no sense

I like the competitions.

I tried doing some cross fit type training at home years ago. I’ve have too nicks and injuries from sports over the years. I have to be controlled in my movement patterns to stay injury free.

Couldn’t agree more. Controlled movements are key
