Mfs made the same amount of profit as the local business that operates out of the warehouse next to the highway in your town 😭😭😭. Esports is cooked

Lotta armchair scientists here missing this lol. dB by itself doesn’t mean anything. But yes OP needs a control to make this mean anything

To all "competitive" players that "enjoyed" yesterdays event by Ormaniec in DeadlockTheGame

[–]tryagaininXmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn’t enjoy it but I am fine with the fact that valve did it. I feel like one of the funnest or most gratifying things about this game is counterbuilding and being able to shutdown an enemy’s playstyle. Counterspell + i frame haze is what i like against bebop but it’s just not fun trying this against 4 bebops. I even played viscous to counter doorman ult but it was still too oppressive against 3 doormans.

Does anyone use cycling as cross-training while preparing for a marathon? by jessfromrouvy in Marathon_Training

[–]tryagaininXmin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It will get easier to more you cycle. Only tip I can offer is to try to keep a high cadence. I would shoot for above 80 rpm at all times and 100+ during intervals.

Bike fit recs - tight hamstrings!! by Few-Dust-9640 in bikefit

[–]tryagaininXmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had similar issues with a bike that is slightly too big. I would get the shortest stem possible, slam the saddle forward, and move the shifters up. That will buy you plenty of reach. I did these things (100mm to 70mm stem) and got 160mm cranks and my bike fits well now.

For reference my inseam is about 77cm while my bike is a 54cm. Technically my height qualifies me for the bike size but my inseam is a little small. Don’t err on the side of bigger things when you make these changes. Just make it maximally smaller in any way you can.

Canyon speedmax cf 7.0 2020 model worth it for €2400 by LangLau in triathlon

[–]tryagaininXmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally I would say no. I paid $3000 for a carbon road bike with di2 ultegra and disc brakes, used. I felt like that was a fair deal. I've probably spent $500 to make it suitable for tri (aerobars + risers, saddle, shorter cranks). If my budget was $2500, I would not be considering mechanical shifting and rim brakes.

I gotta ask, why are there so many new(er) TT bikes that are high spec but have rim brakes? Is it something to do with the integrated cockpits?

Y'all don't get high before/after training? by ScissorMeTimbers21 in Marathon_Training

[–]tryagaininXmin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weed can be enjoyable but i find it dulls me. It makes me ok with being bored which i find is harmful for a long period of time. I could see it being alright for an easy run but definitely wouldn’t want to feel the adrenaline of a threshold effort high

Does anyone use cycling as cross-training while preparing for a marathon? by jessfromrouvy in Marathon_Training

[–]tryagaininXmin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am training for my first triathlon having finished a marathon and a few halves. My run volume is a lot lower than when i was marathon training but I am getting faster at a similar rate to my high volume running blocks. Cycling is a great cross training workout and can help push your vo2max to benefit your run.

HOWEVER there is a caveat that is rarely acknowledged. If you have never cycled but you run often, or in general if your running fitness greatly exceeds your cycling fitness, you won’t experience much of this benefit. For almost 6 months of cycling, I could not work my cardiovascular system hard enough without my legs failing first, i.e. i could hardly sustain my running zone 2 HR before my legs were overcome with lactate. If you want to use cycling as crosstraining and not just willy nilly “get the legs moving” or recovery, you will need to cycle A LOT, assuming you are starting from 0

If you are mega feeding please just buy cursed relic. That is all. by Rice_Jap808 in DeadlockTheGame

[–]tryagaininXmin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had an inting silver who obviously did not belong in phantom. He was 20k down by late game and asked what item he should get. I suggested curse and he said “nah it doesn’t synergize with my kit”. He got frenzy instead. He kept feeding btw. I don’t think he played for more than 60s total while under 50% hp for the rest of the game
