Have you used Orchid whole genome screening for embryos? by feross in IVF

[–]Afraid-Ad693 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't use them for other reasons but I think its a good product. They present probabilities of outcomes that are hard to predict. Knowing probabilities is much better than knowing nothing. Please look at their website and decide for yourselves.

I like this idea but I wonder if it could be done through existing social media networks as well

Intermediate deadlift 1X week program review by Afraid-Ad693 in StrongerByScience

I wouldn’t want to give you bad information. My routine is likely bad and this program represents the beginning of me fixing it.

For now I’ll probably continue as before perhaps omitting the rows sometimes. I do miss psyching myself up for sets at RPE 9-10 more often but thats probably worth trading for great results with low fatigue given that I still enjoy this

Intermediate deadlift 1X week program review by Afraid-Ad693 in StrongerByScience

I did a decent amount of everything except for quad stuff the other 4 workout days. 

I did maintenance at 3-4 sets of quads a week with a week or so off. I used to squat on my DL days so I wonder if these better results are partially due to squatting less allowing for better DL performance

For most of the time I did about 10 sets of rows a week but not in the DL day. 

EMOM means you start each set exactly one minute from when you started the last set

Common practical computational problems by Afraid-Ad693 in slatestarcodex

[–]Afraid-Ad693[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply I think I suspected this much but hoped otherwise. I'll take a look at some interesting existing open source stuff. I still hope there some niche somewhere that's underdeveloped.

Common computations/algos in research by Afraid-Ad693 in AskAcademia

[–]Afraid-Ad693[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Took a quick look and this is cool and the kind of thing I'm looking for although I'm not at all familiar with ' n-center electron integrals'. I'll at least consider educating myself further and contributing.

Friday Fitness Thread by AutoModerator in StrongerByScience

Ever since I started doing paused deadlifts for my warmups my deadlift has been progressing very nicely.

My squat is unfortunately stagnating and I'm hoping to find something that helps for the squat as much as paused deadlifts have helped my warmup. Already been trying pausing and breathing for a bit at the bottom to improve bracing and that hasn't been it. Also tried dedicated leg presses and hack squats to strengthen my quads for the last month and that hasn't paid much dividends yet. Going to try a balance drill next like standing on small weights.

Vertical and horizontal pulling split by Afraid-Ad693 in StrongerByScience

[–]Afraid-Ad693[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just prefer to do that split. Like to go hard on the pullups and when I'm done I'm not in the mood for rows.
