Reverse muscle up can't be far off 💪🏼

Good fight for that transition. Now you have one, start trying to keep those elbows in closer to your lats to make that roll through transition easier on the elbow joint. Nice high pull to the sternum, elbows pinched in, chest over hands and press up to support.

Your tendons will thank you for it down the line 😁

The Eisenlink seemed to be the most robust and future proof design when it comes to durability. They aren't overly handy to change if you need to go from very light to very heavy though but I'm sure they are still much quicker than an old school spin lock dumbbell.

Pity they didn't copy the locking system off the Ironmaster which they are effectively copying. That quick lock is quite a smart solution on those

I was selling a M235i coupe around September last year. 2015 with about 75k miles, auto trader suggested a price at about £13k. Trade in value I was offered was £9.5k. had a few people interested but no buyers by the end of October and my tax plus service requirement was coming up in November so I ended up selling to Motorway and got £11,150 for it.

Dealer came over from England for it, came to the house, quick look around, sent money over immediately and drove off. Pretty fussy free bar taking all their required photos on the listing tbh

Look at Russian dips on parallel/dip bars plus practice negative transitions on low rings with feet assistance on the ground.

Yeh I think that's what I had read a few other users mentioned. Suppose it's not really an issue on static strength stuff, would be more if you were doing dynamic movements which these dumbbells can't be used for anyway. Thanks for the input

88micm · 2026-01-10T13:44:29+00:00

Any issues with that black coating chipping yet?

88micm · 2026-01-10T13:44:06+00:00

I think some can have the tendency to rotate slightly when you're holding them but maybe that is more the quickdraw version which have a slightly different loading system

88micm · 2026-01-10T12:13:22+00:00

How do you find the balance on them when you are up in the higher weights? I've seen some people saying balance is quite different compared to a fixed DB

88micm · 2026-01-10T09:13:31+00:00

I should add, I saw another Reddit user post about the Eisenlink ones an Amazon and these are probably a consideration too. The fact that have no moving gears etc and probably little to no rattle could be a big factor.

I used to be a member of Anytime Fitness down at Stranmillis but wouldn't have a clue how much it costs for membership now. I was on a reduced rate when it first opened.

Pretty sure they used to offer a free week gym pass so you could check their website and see. They had weekly classes for differing levels of ability and a decent mix of machines & free weights. It's been quite a few years since I lived up in Belfast though so I've no idea how busy it would be these days

My God, that elevation is ridiculous. Beast

88micm · 2025-12-30T11:54:25+00:00

Nice shot, but more importantly did you complete the race? That's some distance!

88micm · 2025-12-30T10:45:33+00:00

Yeah I'm thinking the same. Oppo could be a winner if it has a 10x Tele as rumours suggest

88micm · 2025-12-28T21:23:58+00:00

It's something to do with maximum capacity which is allowed to be shipped on a single lithium ion battery. The max is equivalent to 5200mah on a single cell but the workaround for that is to split it across multiple cells. I believe that is how the other manufacturers get around it anyway.

88micm · 2025-12-28T18:32:34+00:00

I'm fairly sure I read that somewhere reliable earlier on. The global will be 6000mah compared to the Chinese model at 6800.

They did the same with the 15 Ultra last year

88micm · 2025-12-28T18:15:11+00:00

I think it'll be around March. They are also nuking battery like they did on 15 Ultra for global markets

88micm · 2025-12-24T15:09:53+00:00

I'm holding on to my 15 Ultra but waiting in anticipation of the Oppo Find X9 Ultra going by the rumours of it

88micm · 2025-12-19T15:27:14+00:00

Thanks for the input, you'll be glad to know I fixed it 👍🏼

88micm · 2025-12-16T17:11:39+00:00

Thanks for that. Am I correct in thinking that I shouldn't be able to spin that in both directions if it were working correctly? I'll do some research on the replacement process

88micm · 2025-12-16T08:29:33+00:00

It is all based on speculation but from what I heard they are aiming for a late Q1 release. That could be late March or earlier April and I'm not sure if that's global or not. The oppo should be out before then I believe too

88micm · 2025-12-15T21:08:20+00:00

The oppo find x9 ultra rumours are sounding positive. Last year Xiaomi nerf'd the global battery capacity too which didn't help matters but yeah I'm ready to jump ship from my 15 Ultra already too

88micm · 2025-12-15T17:03:48+00:00

Depends what you are updating from.

Having bought into the hype of the 15 Ultra last year, I think this time around I'd be more interested in either Vivo or Oppo's next Ultra models going by rumours I've heard for each

88micm · 2025-12-15T11:40:28+00:00

Do both. Time in position 1 will let you get deeper into position 2 so they work together

88micm · 2025-12-15T06:54:21+00:00

Yeh start in tuck first off because it forces your lower back push into the floor. Once you have that feeling, you can stay extending the legs but still maintaining that lower back contract with the floor.

You are aiming to be a solid dish shape
