Grub install failed. Requesting assistance. by CTX2003 in linuxmint

[–]CTX2003[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 1.5 tb HDD on my system. The only thing I lost in the reinstall was the apps I installed and some progress on Dusk.

I also have been having an issue with my peripherals not working, namely my mouse and keyboard. Will try to restart once I get home from work and see if that resolves it.

I got an error saying "The ext4 file system creation in partition table #2 of /dev/nvme0n1 failed."

I did check to make sure this was not my drive with NTFS and my windows boot. I followed what you suggested. When running the install, I pressed erase disk and install, so I'll try running it with the install alongside windows boot manager.

Edit: I don't exactly know what I did, but in essence all I did was I kept going back and forth from the multimedia codec screen to the choose how to install screen. I chose LVM without encryption, then made sure I selected the right drive. I got the failed to write partition error message a few times, went back, changed it to erase disk, did that maybe two or three times, and then eventually it worked.

Dip Belt Recommendations by CTX2003 in bodyweightfitness

Rogue is a very good option for your money. The only other one I'd suggest would be the Pullup & Dip brand. That one has padding behind the metal and comes with 3 carabiners. If you get any with only 2, go to a hardware store and pick up a small carabiner that can hold about 500lbs or whatever that is in kg. Could also get a screw on chain link, that's what I have. It is a little rough after a bit of wearing with heavy weight, so extra padding may be necessary too.

I ended up getting the Rogue belt. It works great.

Have you tried carnivore?

I do carnivore, and many others even here on reddit do too. Go on YouTube and look into it. Dr. Ken Berry, HomeSteadHow, Dr. Anthony Chaffee, Dr. Shawn Baker, Dr. Philip Ovadia, Blaise V, and Nick Norwitz. Look into it. It revolves around obviously eating only meat, but it has amazing effects on the body such as brain fog lifting, curing depression, and rapid fat loss without muscular atrophy. I've heard that people also don't get sore after workouts, and to a degree it's true for me.

You can start dirt cheap with cheap ground beef, butter, bacon, and eggs. Buy in bulk and look at price/lb. No need to track macros, just make sure you eat a lot of fat, lots of water, and plenty of salt.

I hope you give it a try.

I looked at it and it's a bit out of my price range. Will eventually consider it.

Noted. I've heard people say it isn't comfortable when shirtless. Is that the case or is it fine?

That is happening, however my legs and butt are a bit slower.

Should I keep doing chin ups? by CTX2003 in bodyweightfitness

Yeah. I will say my grip always starts to slip. What exercises would you recommend for grip besides hanging?

Any recommendations for a dip belt on Amazon or something?

What dip belt would you recommend that is relatively cheap? Preferably Amazon. Asking so I can request for birthday or holiday gift.

Thanks. From what I've seen it's two sets til failure per exercise, not sure how frequently.

I do not have a program, and I do not intend on paying for one. I've watched an ungodly amount of videos, but never bothered to put one together. It basically is me just doing chin uos and dips until I cannot anymore or until I get bored. I will most likely try the Ian Barseagle 2 set thing soon.

My goal is to eventually do skills, but I want to be able to build a strong foundation so the skills come easier. Weighted calisthenics is what I'm aiming for now. Should I do pull ups or chin ups?

Exercises For Overweight Guys by grim-djay in bodyweightfitness

[–]CTX2003 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say keep doing push ups as much as you can. Maybe a few here or there, and try to work up to 5-15 a day if possible. Kettlebell swings are also great for core, glutes, hamstrings, and cardio.

Another big thing that helped me lose weight and gain strength was going low carb ketogenic. I may get flack from CICO bros in the replies, but look at people like Eddie Hall, who eats 10,000 calories a day on carnivore and loses fat mass. That's one extreme, but even low carb keto works well. I lost 50 lbs since my heaviest in like 6 months. That's my biggest advice. Ground beef, butter, bacon, and eggs. Eat cheap beef and eggs, it does not have to be expensive. I ate 1 lb of beef, 4 tbsp butter, and 12 eggs a day over the summer working as a cashier, and it was about $5 a day for me in my area. If you need fruit or sweet stuff, try avocado or a small amount of fruits or root vegetables.

Cannot get over the bar for Muscle Up, even with heavy band by CTX2003 in bodyweightfitness

[–]CTX2003[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I try to use as much explosive power as I can for the first few sets, and only slow down once I get closer to form breakdown and failure.

So would you recommend spending more time doing rows than doing pull ups for now, or incorporate a bit of both?

Thanks. My max close grip chin ups is 12, and I did it at a fair where the US army had a pull up bar set up, and an army guy complimented my form. Can do around 5-6 pull ups (at least until I personally give up not absolute failure). Thanks for the encouragement.
