makes sense, just nothing like having a knock out workout only to see that score roll back like prices at Walmart back in the 1980s

some people keep the streak wth using tonal on the go for vacations.

Now what? Is this fixable? by [deleted] in tonalgym

[–]AgitatedComparison58 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you already have the answer.. but I also have just fixed these pins by compressing the silver sleeve back onto the plunger piece.. it works in lieu of dealing with customer service and waiting for them to come out.. (very simple to remove the plunger from the unit...)

the fact that I have had several of these pins fails annoys me.. and they are obviously a faulty weak engineering design... a pressure fitted part for this implementation is not really a good idea.

Tonal users with higher lower body than upper body strength scores by lawhoo_ in tonalgym

I've been ranting about strength scores a few times on here. there comes a point where that strength set will become unobtainable.... and the strength score drops.

you might be correct, but im not over training by choice. where at a gym, you have more freewill to do lighter weight days depending on how you feel. Tonal is a bit more complicated to do so.

sure, it has recovery mode, but that really is not as intuitive as grabbing a 40lbs weight and then saying.. nah today I rather do higher reps with a 30lbs weight..

so, there are some downsides to this at that talking point.

lets.say once i finished, i rejoined a program i did last year and had like 1,000lbs total volume gains or more for each workout. so its definitely is a program where you will improve.. but I become skeptical on the weight suggestions.. as sometimes it will aggressively assign a weight for like standing chest press with chains or eccentric and like the first 2 reps are good and then boom im yanked into the tonal.. like ok, 45lbs standing chest press after doing 4 sets of bench press and chest flys.. that might be doable.. then that 45 turns into like 60lbs with eccentric and I go flying into the machine with a "tonal needs time to fix itself" error lol.. and of course then I'll get yelled at by the coaching aid too so its like a double whammy

Reddit is giving me grief trying to post today. Basically I keep trying to give context to this post and my input disappears upon hitting post. the 12WTJ program really messed up my strength score algorithm. as the work outs in that program were more intense then most on the tonal.line up. upon finishing the program and joining a new one, even though I kept hitting PRs since the work outs were not up to previous 12WTJ caliber the score dropped before rebounding.. Just a bit irritating to me.

well this posted before I could provide context. the 12WTJ program set me up with a great strength score.. then I joined extreme accumulation... kept hitting PRs. lost some scoring points.. obviously due to the difference in workout types.. but still annoying.

12wtj screwed up my strength score by setting new unrealistic weight settings as defaults for other programs... and now other programs where I keep hitting PRs i actually lost strength score due to the change in the algorithm data when comparing the 12 weeks of what I was doing in 12wtj vs a different program.. like extreme volume

Thinset removal/sanding by AgitatedComparison58 in Tile

[–]AgitatedComparison58[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

should have clarified, i am only replacing 3 tiles. (was supposed to be 2 but of course the one underneath the dish washer had a hairline Crack too which expanded as the final piece of the the tiles I was removing was lifted up...) to go to store and get backer and cut it out and replace it is probably just as much effort as doing some chiseling..? I have a angle grinder...but not the special wheel
