I lift hard but I’m not an expert. All I can suggest is that you first ask yourself exactly where you currently are fitness wise and what you want your end result to be. Then, ask yourself if Hyrox meets your needs. The only universal truth about fitness is that your diet is the most important factor. F me is it ever the most important factor. Your metabolism disappears when you age, dang.

Just make sure you do something you like, or at least will actually do. Depending on age, make it something with low injury/setback risk. It doesn’t sound you lack motivation. Are you looking to win against others, or just looking to improve (although the former often helps with the latter)?

These branded workouts are for people who need their egos stroked. Go to a gym and do back squats, deadlifts, other compound movements and do cardio of your liking. If you need 30 people cheering for you while doing kipping pull-ups - God save you.

Ever since I was a boy I had a pull-up bar in the doorway to my room or office. That and pushups, some dips all I ever did for strength. Still do it to this day. My sister who is 55 years old the other day gripped the bar and held it for over a minute which is something.
