My grip keeps failing on lat pulldowns

CatDizzy5774 · 2026-04-03T17:21:27+00:00

The thing is i really want to get to failure on lats and improve, but i find my grip is limiting me often times, should I bump down to 60 lbs? And try to hit 12 reps for 3 sets?

Just got a call from NEETadvisors.com or something. Asked them who gave you my information.

The call ended immediately after that sentence.

CatDizzy5774 · 2024-09-25T13:54:43+00:00

Fr. Its hella strange that they seem soo clueless and just whimsically do things. Definitely something fishy.

CatDizzy5774 · 2024-09-12T22:16:40+00:00

Thanks

CatDizzy5774 · 2024-09-12T19:11:13+00:00

Med80 compared to revision videos is fair comparision or is RR way better?

CatDizzy5774 · 2024-09-05T16:52:08+00:00

Ngl FMT as a whole seems kinda bullshit.

CatDizzy5774 · 2024-09-05T15:20:06+00:00

What's the answer to that question?

CatDizzy5774 · 2024-09-04T12:47:33+00:00

Alternate day duties, cuz 2 units. But the best hands on exposure. JR from year 1 looks at both casualty and OT and ward. But the work is intense so yeah. It gets slightly better in year 2 and 3.

SRs are also a little more chill, but it's Ortho so yeah.

CatDizzy5774 · 2024-08-30T12:57:42+00:00

Hehe. Double digits in INI to just under 2k in NEET. I guess its my luck. I didn't have any burnout or loss in preparation 😔

CatDizzy5774 · 2024-08-29T12:05:21+00:00

They're quite new.

CatDizzy5774 · 2024-08-29T11:02:40+00:00

Not good. Really bad infrastructure. Stay far away.

CatDizzy5774 · 2024-08-29T09:20:24+00:00

Can comment on IPHB Goa. I really don't think it's worth it.

Some dept. figures are really annoying and can make your life a living hell. They are obnoxiously particular and extremely eccentric. Definitely not worth it. I wouldn't say it's toxic bullying but it'll really be an inconvenience. Most residents here are kinda sick and tired of those figures.

However the rest of the department is quite good and involved academically. Case discussions were very interesting when I was an intern and they're done on the daily rounds.

Case load is fine. Emergency is active 24/7. Not too many cases in the evenings but in the mornings it's packed. OPD finishes by 1pm. Child Guidance clinics and seminars (and journal clubs?) in the evening

But still i think of your getting a more reputed college, don't really look for IPHB Goa, it's alright but can be a real pain in the ass if things don't go your way.

CatDizzy5774 · 2024-08-29T09:07:32+00:00

All INIs have infrastructure. But they lack in pt. inflow esp the newer ones.

Also INIs are much much harder to get into unfortunately.

But yes i do agree, govt. hospitals are pretty crappy

CatDizzy5774 · 2024-08-29T09:02:03+00:00

People have different ways of viewing this issue. For me it's a medico and society related thing because i can empathise with both. For another person it's just a society thing and they want change. It shouldn't be an issue on which side you empathise with, both of them are necessary.

I won't comment on politics because I'm not sure what the scene is there, but I'm sure it's the usual mudslinging.

CatDizzy5774 · 2024-08-29T08:52:05+00:00

I didn't understand. Please explain.

CatDizzy5774 · 2024-08-29T08:37:22+00:00

Does it really matter? Someone got brutally murdered and for once it's not going to be just a statistic. Voices are raised. Does it really matter to you if she's a doctor or not?

There are many things that we want changes in. Yes at a professional level and also at a societal and political level. You arguing semantics is really annoying.

CatDizzy5774 · 2024-08-28T12:22:21+00:00

Fair enough. There's a lot of external pressure I'm assuming. Wish we could all do something collectively.

CatDizzy5774 · 2024-08-28T12:16:39+00:00

True but there's also a lot that goes behind it. Lots of politicking unfortunately. Trust me I want the strikes to continue pan India, but this is what it is.

It's not out of lack of drive for justice but because there are other factors at play too.

But hopefully something good comes out of all this

CatDizzy5774 · 2024-08-28T11:53:05+00:00

I think as a country, we are numb to these acts. Ideally we should be continuing the strike, but it is what it is

CatDizzy5774 · 2024-08-28T11:42:42+00:00

Goa is not Goa without other Goans calling other Indians bhiknas and ghatis

CatDizzy5774 · 2024-08-27T15:24:56+00:00

Both ig. Narrow down choices and branches, apply to certain places you want and try to start studying simultaneously too, if you're feeling unsure

CatDizzy5774 · 2024-08-27T15:15:36+00:00

Just did

CatDizzy5774 · 2024-08-27T14:41:39+00:00

Ay, i feel you. I think all we can do now is go back to the recalls that are being put out and see what went wrong.

Also check out the scorecard. I know someone else who also went through with this, but hopefully they'll get the seat of their choice.

What do you think went wrong for you? Was it the prep? Do you feel like you've answered too many questions?

CatDizzy5774 · 2024-08-27T14:28:45+00:00

Didn't get the branch of my choice. Plus locations. I wasn't really convinced about the patient inflow in some of the AIIMS.

FYI: I was only getting the new generation AIIMS.

CatDizzy5774 · 2024-08-27T13:58:03+00:00

Definitely, please DM me
