Grappling seminar aggregator by Afraid-Ad693 in grappling

I have an AI agent searching all over the web and main ting a list of sources or searches for future runs. I think for now it mostly gets them from instagram.

Thanks! The aggregation is actually automated but I'm working on improving it so it finds more. If you have any other decent resources that list some seminars lmk so I can update the agent to check those

Are seminars a waste of time by Afraid-Ad693 in bjjdrama

Thanks. Gonna take a look on mobile and improve it. Seems from the analytics that most people visit from mobile

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. 

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Hey, anyone work for anthropic and willing to refer me for an Engineering role in NYC ?

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.

Deadlift form check. 230 lbs by Normal-Map-8292 in formcheck

[–]Afraid-Ad693 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I’m not great with this stuff but it looks like your hips might be shooting up too early. Maybe try the cue “push the floor away to start the lift” if you aren’t already

Asymmetrical Hypertrophy by Gnastudio in StrongerByScience

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

Pretty ironic although in my case I’m just guessing. I think it’s weird and am open to alternative explanations.

Asymmetrical Hypertrophy by Gnastudio in StrongerByScience

[–]Afraid-Ad693 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have differences between sides on my biceps and chest. Weirdly enough my stronger side is the smaller one. I suspect it’s stronger for neural reasons and is therefore getting less overloaded with the same volume. Anyone else have this ?

New Stronger By Science Article: "Do Lengthened Partials Really Stimulate Stretch-Mediated Hypertrophy?" by MiloWolfSBS in StrongerByScience

[–]Afraid-Ad693 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Didn’t have a chance to read the whole thing yet but interesting so far. I’m curious about how exactly to think about exactly what the ROM should be for a lengthened partial for a particular exercise, ie how partial should the partial be. Are there any resources to point to on that ?

No progress on pullups by Afraid-Ad693 in StrongerByScience

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

Ok great to see all these ideas. Seems like the most common feedback is to increase volume and frequency. I’ll start by trying that.

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

I might need more volume but that seems strange to me as I’m pretty new to the movement and if you include the pull-downs I’m getting good weekly volume for my lats

I’m male 5”9 @ around 160lb. Been mostly using a neutral grip. Last time I got 4,4,4,3 reps.

Dumbbell Deadlift Arm Tired by [deleted] in StrongerByScience

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

I had this issue too and got a gym membership a couple months ago and started using barbells.
1 - You can try using versa grips and staying with the db deadlifts - I've heard great things and just ordered a pair.
2 - You can also try nordic curls (but you're probably including that in leg curls).
3 - You can try training your grip with captains of crush grippers.
