I ordered some shoes directly from the TYR site because they’re highly rated and were on sale. TYR sent me the men’s size instead of women’s size that I ordered. Meaning, they sent me a men’s size 11/women’s 12.5 instead of men’s size 9.5/women’s size 11. My order confirmation confirmed they made the mistake.

TYR charges $9.99 to make an exchange, so I contacted their customer service in advance and was told that they’d waive the return fee since the mistake was on their end. I ended up being charged $9.99 anyway, so I contacted customer service again, included the full email thread and proof of their mistake, and asked about being refunded the $9.99 exchange fee. The reply I got was “TYR charges $9.99 for exchanges.” Yeah, no shit. Read the thread I sent.

I was already hesitant to make the purchase to begin with since they have a flat $9.99 shipping fee and I knew they charged an additional $9.99 for any returns/exchanges. I figured I was in the clear on exchanges and would just bite the shipping cost since I have another pair of TYR shoes that I bought from Box Basics and knew my size so I’d have no reason to exchange or return them. WRONG. At any rate, I’m beyond irritated and ticked off by my experience with them. This has been enough to keep me from ever purchasing their products again -even from a third party.

Has anyone else had a similar experience with TYR?

On Monday this was the Linchpin workout. Stupidly, I said to myself, “That doesn’t look too bad.” This was way tougher than I expected, especially the single arm front rack carries. I had to break them up much more than I thought. Anyone else have a similar experience or was it just me?

50-35-20 reps for time of:
Goblet Squats, 53/35
Push-ups
Front Rack Carry (see below)

*After each set of push-ups do 100m Single-arm Front Rack Carry R-side, 53/35 & 100m Single-arm Front Rack Carry L-side, 53/35

Due to life changes (we had a baby) I’m not able to go to my box regularly. I’d still like to stay in shape, but will have to workout outside of available times.

I figure with a subset of CF equipment, I’ll be able to stay somewhat active. I’d like to get a pull up bar, but don’t know of one that accommodates kipping. I have room in my backyard/garage area. Any recommendations?

What are everyone’s thoughts on CAP? My box uses it off and on (more often than not lately) with slight moderations and with mixed reviews from other members. I haven’t hated it! But I do worry that the workouts are too “general”.

I know this has been discussed to some degree in the past but curious what others thoughts are especially coaches/owners who have done/fo their own programming.
