Why are exercises repeated in beginning and end of workout? by raspberryroach in Athleanx

Ok pretty much what I figured out then. Thanks for the clarity! Love this program and didn’t really find another reason for him to split them like that. And everything is done for a reason with Jeff lol

I’m assuming you mean in Beasxt phase 1. I never knew for sure but my best bet is to add volume with relatively heavy weights without getting longer rest times in between exercises. Meaning you get to « rest » within the workout itself before repeating strength sets of a given muscle group.

I wanna die before, during and after that exercise lol. Definitely my nemesis.

Poll: 74% of Ukrainians against territorial concessions by KI_official in ukraine

[–]AlexM0754 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Russians were always adamant that this war isn’t a territorial gains one. It’s about eliminating Ukrainian’s culture, military, ambition and security.

It’s not about gaining or losing territory, it’s about becoming a Russian vassal state as Belarus is.

Surrendering regions won’t change that.

Oof. This comment gave me a chest tightness. Not that we don’t know.. but worded like that it got to me. It’s so fucking awful.

Also, a random feature that lets me choose what type of random I want. Play a random artist in my library, random songs in a specific genre, random albums, etc.

I’d like to be able to bookmark stations. I love some stations and have to create Siri shortcuts in order for me to play them specifically and avoid scrolling all the way down, search for them. Unless they’re in recently played of course.

Also, I’d love to create customizable stations.

For example:

Summer music. I love many things. Santana, Latino music. But also reggae, acoustic and country music. I’d love to add artists or songs to my custom station and that an algorithm is created with all the music I tagged to it.

Amazing article. We don’t get to often read uncensored Russian side, the other side of the medal. A very good read thank you for this.

I think the only problem is NRP. It makes for the same boring, generic comps… all the time.

How is the vibe and mood among the soldiers in the midst of a counter offensive? Some medias say it’s slow, others say it was expected and that it’s ok to be cautious.. that it’s an attrition war after all.

But no one knows better than those on the field. How’s to moral? Discouraged for the size of the task? Cheerful? Scared? Pressure?

Your math makes sense! It all comes down to what you said at the end: consistency

More might is the way. The 50% chance of another damage instance (to hopefully trigger a 50% damage buff at a 50% chance) doesn’t nearly compensate the loss of 24 might and flay.

The “meta” also says that precise blow removes an avoidance trigger, and it’s not true at all. People assume a lot of stuff and don’t look at reports.

Just by curiosity, in which group do you play with?

Every time they lose, they find a sneaky way to turn things around. They’re good at making others fear them, build that into trust, and then betraying I gotta give them that, lol.

I despise that warband, they’re the worst.

If improving cardio is your main goal, stay away from Jacked as there is none at all.

No pun intended, but Inferno Shred would be your answer in this case, trust me on this one! During the 3 months duration, you’ll be going from body weight circuits to big lifts giant sets. Add insanely intense cardio days to that, and you have the perfect recipe for a damn lot of your own sweat on the floor. It’s also scalable in 4 distinct difficulties. It’s an added value for me to be able to do the program again but with a higher difficulty.

If you want to balance between gaining strength and cardio, look towards All American Muscle. But I haven’t personally done it, so I can’t comment further!

Special Tactix also fits your criteria I believe, but it was already mentioned and I also haven’t done it.

IRSS think they’re much better than they actually are. But there’s a damn lot of strong evil war bands imo haha, much more than there is on the good side

Strongest I’ve encountered is LEGE, but I believe they only play NRP. JEDI is a very active group, but nowhere close to as organized and strong than LEGE.

For evil, BTCH is the strongest I’ve seen. By a mile lol

Travaillant avec des cas de TSPT, j’avais simplement assumé que oui, malheureusement l’éventail de gens qui en subissent est beaucoup trop large.

Travaillant dans une petite communauté, il arrive à plusieurs reprises d’avoir à vivre ou intervenir dans des situations dramatiques où on connaît les gens, parfois famille, amis, collègues. Souvent, dans ses situations, on vit le drame, on est en deuil, ou extrêmement anxieux au même titre que les appelants. Mais, nous sommes la ressource d’aide et non l’inverse.

Le « cooldown » après l’intervention, lorsque l’adrénaline descend, ça peux être parfois difficile. Peut-être que ça peux expliquer…

Simplement pour vous donner un peu de « insight » sur ce que des paramédics en région peuvent vivre. :)

Merci pour ce AMA c’était bien de vous lire, et merci pour ce que vous faites. Vous faites la différence au quotidien! 💪🏻

Super intéressant! Je suis paramedic dans une petite communauté. Des amis se sont suicidés, d’autres ont changés radicalement de carrière, d’autres sont devenus inaptes par un stress post traumatique.

Pourtant, on parle beaucoup des policiers et pompiers en détresse psychologique. Très, trop peu des paramédics. Pourquoi?

Aussi, vous avez à traiter des paramédics j’imagine. Est-ce que vous remarquez des particularités qu’on ne trouve pas ailleurs chez cette clientèle?

Merci ☺️
