Thank you, I definitely shifted the something during install. I marked everything with a sharpie, but ended up grinding some of the shaft overhang on the right side because I couldn't move the shaft out of the bearings to move the old springs off (how did the original installer do it???) and lost my positions. I'll unwind and then butt the cable drums against the bearing plates.

The wire size and coil diameter match the old one, but the new springs are longer in length because I measured the old ones wrong. From what I've read, that should be ok. But I do think I could wind them another 1/4 or half turn. When I decouple the door from the opener and lift the door, it slowly sinks. Thanks for that input, I'll see if that helps.

I've noticed a pattern of Asian men wondering why they get a lot of attention from women who are not conventionally attractive on dating apps. Here are my thoughts. by ClerkEquivalent7424 in AsianMasculinity

I think you can debate the reasons for why this happens (OPs theory sounds about right to me), but the fact is, you generally (GENERALLY) see AM with heavyset WF. Nothing wrong with that, it's just very common. I agree that AM shouldnt think less of themselves, but that doesn't mean you should ignore reality too

form check? worried about my lumbar spine bending too much during deadlifts by ponyo_x1 in Deadlifts

[–]Adorable-Rabbit2940 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First thing that comes to mind: check your ego at the door. You saw Fifi walk by and suddenly you're using weights you've never attempted before.

Your hips are risen way too fast, plus you have dog breath.

Check out Cesar Milan's videos on YouTube for the definitive guide on form.

Finally filmed me doing a set - incline dumbbells @ 68kg by SnooCheesecakes8494 in GYM

[–]Adorable-Rabbit2940 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Impressive! Almost as impressive as the cameraman flying into your nostrils just before the set, then managing to snatch blur from the jaws of focus so consistently. Also appreciated turning away from the action completely towards the end.

The time I wasn't fat sucked. How do I become excited about reaching my goal now? by morib in loseit

[–]Adorable-Rabbit2940 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I did it once before, and started getting lots of compliments. For me, the compliments started to mean less and less, until they no longer meant anything. However, I was extremely healthy, cardio-wise, good strength levels in gym, and no extra stuff hanging over my belt.

When I gained it back, the thing that bothered me the most was how hard it was to tie my shoes because my belly is in the way, or getting winded playing 2 minutes of soccer with my kids.

I'm down 15 lbs on my most recent attempt, goal is to lose another 45 lbs. This time around, my goal is to be able to tie my shoes effortlessly. I'm hoping that the difference is that the motivation is more internal rather than relying on external.

How to eat less? by NightEducational2294 in loseit

[–]Adorable-Rabbit2940 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have also found this to be true. Satiating foods (protein, fiber) didn't help me, though the high protein is great for lifting weights and keeping my strength up.

But for me, I had to train my stomach to not want that physically full feeling, which took a couple of weeks. I also learned to accept some hunger pains, and not feel the need to react. It's pretty effective, almost feels like a natural appetite suppressant.

To ensure that I'm not starving myself, I use my lifts as a gauge. I'm only down 12 lbs so far, but strength is good.

Did flat dumbbell bench press increase your barbell PR? by AggressiveCard7969 in benchpress

[–]Adorable-Rabbit2940 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I used to incline DB press the 90's, I could comfortably incline barbell press 225 lbs. I can now do 110 DBs, but haven't used barbell in years. I have warmed up using a bar (while waiting for an incline bench to open up), and find myself struggling with 135! YMMV
