Check my math

I am currently a google Fi customer with 3 lines. I have a Pixel 8 pro and I'd like to upgrade to the 11 Pro 512. If I do a straight upgrade it's $550 off the phone and works out to $27.88/m for 24 months. The other offer is add another line which gives only $300 off the phone but $799 back over 24 months on the plan. It looks cheaper to just go to 4 lines even though I don't really need it. Am I missing some catch?

Squat days and recovery

51M. I’ve been doing CrossFit for about 2 years. Right now I’m going 3–4x/week, but I’m trying to build toward 5–6x/week.

My biggest issue is leg DOMS and leg recovery. It feels like almost every day has a significant lower-body component, so my legs never really get a chance to recover. Then when a dedicated squat day comes up, I’m already cooked.

I keep seeing the usual advice: “listen to your body,” “take recovery days,” “scale when needed,” etc. I get that, but the problem is that if I always wait until my legs feel recovered, I feel like I’ll never actually get the dedicated squat days in, because my legs are basically always sore.

Here’s an example from this week’s programming:

Monday

  • Romanian deadlifts, 4x8
  • Conditioning: row, single-arm DB hang power snatches, ring dips, air squats

Tuesday

  • DB Reverse lunges, 4x16
  • Conditioning: kettlebell swings, wall balls, toes-to-bar, burpees

Wednesday

  • Snatch work
  • Conditioning: run or bike, then hang power snatches

Thursday

  • Conditioning-only day, but still very leg-heavy:
    • Run/bike, DB clean + push press, row, goblet squats, double unders
    • Row, push-ups, run/bike, box step-ups, double unders

Friday

  • Front squat, 5x5
  • Sled drag/push work
  • Conditioning: run/row/ski/bike, plate ground-to-overhead, plate lunges, burpees

By Friday, front squats are programmed, but my legs are already smoked from the week.

For people who train CrossFit 5–6x/week, how do you handle this? Do you just scale the lower-body volume throughout the week so you can still hit strength days? Do you skip certain pieces? Treat some conditioning days as Zone 2/recovery? Or is this just an adaptation phase I need to push through gradually?

I’m not trying to avoid hard work. I’m just trying to figure out how to train consistently without having my legs permanently wrecked and missing the strength work I actually want to improve.
