As someone who struggles with body image etc, it’s wonderful to spend 3 hours a week trying to make myself feel as heavy and forceful as possible - very refreshing!
Beyond shocking development for anyone who knows me off the internet. I’ve gotten so strong and feel like a badass lifting the big bar over my head (and then waddling around the city for days afterwards remembering what I did).
Never thought I’d do something like this but I’m so glad I gave it the ole college try and am putting that rec out to anyone else who has hesitated about CrossFit specifically but wants to get stronger/have more workout structure/protect from injury (vs just running)/build gym community.
Take a few minutes when you get up to jot your dreams down when you wake up. It’s a good way to transition to being awake and sometimes dreams are worth reflecting on, even if they’re just funny or nonsensical or beautiful.
I drink coffee before, during, and after coffee. If you want to cut down to just one you should go with after, maybe as late as with lunch for an afternoon buzz.
