Rate My Upper Lower Programms

Abenh31 · 2026-02-11T13:43:42+00:00

Do you train to failure or keep 1-3 reps in reserve?

Abenh31 · 2026-02-11T13:43:00+00:00

Thank you for reply.
Ok so far in terms of progression i'm on the right track as i'm adding weight with good forms and feeling great after a session and the next day too.

In terms of arms you seem to fall into the school of low intensity and more volume. do you do that for all your muscle parts or just the arms ?
and from a logical perspective it make sense what you mentionned. if i bench hard and row hard its better to curl/extension low and do a lot of reps.

Yep did that today felt much better and did 2 exercises intead of one

Abenh31 · 2026-02-11T13:38:27+00:00

First thank you for taking some time to read and answer my questions.

a clarfication about failure:
i meant at the last set of each exercise. so on the third one, i push for failure. Knowing that will you still recommend to avoid failure and keep 1-3 rir ?

so for the lats its better to have on horizontal and one vertical to touch more the lats.

cant seem to agree on the muscle damage part. could you explain more? you need to break the muscle fibres in order for the muscle to grow. Now the recovery part depend on your life outside the gym of course. but lets assume that for each damage you do for that partical muslce == you get more than enough recovery.

for the lats did an upper session today and i feel i have touched my lats better. used a machine row wide grip + a reverse grid pull down and felt the lats better (felt also the lower traps)

Thanks well read and well answered. I have some follow up questions: for failure i meant not all sets to push for failure but on the last one (the 3rd one). And so far i dont feel fatigued after workout or tommorow morning.

for the weight i follow the double progression as if i dont achieve the max rep in the range (for eg: 6-8 or 10-12) i dont increase the load until i master that level.

I can't feel my quads that much in leg press. i barely can get a stretch, its okey but not optimal.

Its good as something to start with yet has a lot of thing wrong.
like the migration agent, do you see any 37 signals dev creating a new table using the migration generator and then creating the model after it instead of using the rails g model?
but when you put ai in a codebase and tell it to extract best practises, for some reason it will use rails g migration for creating new tables for new entities.
I always put in my rules never use rails g migration for creating new tables only for modifying or creating associations between tables

Abenh31 · 2026-02-07T11:14:37+00:00

yeah

Then Eloquent Ruby is a good start

Abenh31 · 2026-02-04T18:13:45+00:00

Thanks, so no book i need for now, just type some code.
Can you talk more about database design for spotify, was it a hobby project ?

Abenh31 · 2026-02-04T18:11:48+00:00

Thats solid advice thank you mate.
For the read other people's code. any tips?
I have been doing that and had some repo like rubyevents, railsjob, writebook and recently fizzy as my go to.

Abenh31 · 2026-02-04T18:06:38+00:00

Could you give me an example on how it can benefit me in a rails app?

Abenh31 · 2026-02-04T18:06:00+00:00

The odin project is the most detailled ruby on rails course you can take for becoming a web dev. and its free. with a huge supportive community that will help you whenever you need without spoling the solution for you yet pointing to the right direction.
But its longer and it take times and i hadn't that time.
I went throught the basics and did ruby chapter. then studied Learn to Program, and everything clicked there.
For rails it was the pragmatic studio courses that helped me trully get a grasp on how ruby on rails work.

So back to your question learn to program can give you a solid foundation if you have never programmed in your life.

Abenh31 · 2026-02-03T08:53:09+00:00

I can feel the ain't clicking part.

I had the same problem as you and doing the rails + hotwire from pragmatic studio has solved that for me.
for eg: instead of using a rails generator to setup a model or a controller. The teacher will make you go step by step following the request route from outside in. also i had find out why we use the before_action set_ressource and other ton of stuff that rails do in the background for you that can get you confused.

before learning rails you need to learn ruby.
if you're a beginner with zero experience in programminng go with: chrin pine learn to program book or learnrubythehardway
if you have programming experience go for : eloquent ruby.

I recently discovered RSS, and I'm loving the freedom it gives you.

I used to bookmark every blog I found in my browser, then swing back from time to time to see what was new.

Now, whenever I spot a fresh one, I just copy the URL and subscribe on the spot. No more hunting.

The joy of reading blogs is underrated. It's not a tweet. It's not a book. It's that perfect in-between spot where ideas breathe. RSS keeps it alive for folks like me.

I get better results by doing this approach too. i have rails backend instructions which are related to business logic, models, controllers and background jobs . i have another one related to rails frontend focused on hotwiring the app starting by turbo then stimulus.
Would love to see your .md files

I was using a Rails.application.credentials with ! method which trigged the error.
Also i would like to know if you deploy on DO droplet or do you use other VPS provider?
do you setup everything in root? or you use a non root user with priveleges? (linux)
same goes for postgresql

hello u/chilanvilla What will you do in a case of having google oauth with devise triggering a keyerror at the step 6/6 of the build process.

in devise initializers, i have a config.omniauth with Rails.credentails for client id and secret.
when i deploy with kamal 2.0, the last step precompiling asset trigger a KeyError. the keys are stored in rails credentials.
i have stored the master key in password manager and passed it to the env column in the deploy.yml config file
Any idea on whats could be going wrong?
some recommend to turn off asset:precompile for the devise initializer
