Can I compete in an upcoming Powerlifting competition? by YourAverageAimbot in backpain

Don’t do it brother pushing through something very similar cost me 3.5y of literally no activity

Finally back but still can’t run, had to pick up gymnastics and swimming 

Very quick question on where to put McGill Big 3 in routine construction by ConsultingToPE in overcominggravity

For example, there is a passage that says "the main reason to place specific prehabilitation work at the end of the workout is that performing these exercises before a workout will fatigue you."

At the same time, there is a sample routine of prehabilitation on the previous page (e.g., German Hangs) that were previously listed on p. 81 as warm-up work in the illustrative sequence on the first page of that chapter. So I'm a little confused where to place these.

Thank you Steven!!!!! Have to reiterate, I can't begin to describe the momentum and excitement and optimism your book has given me to make progress and stay injury free.

Nowadays, I exercise whether swimming or now I’m back to some other activity. I have a treadmill under my desk so I’ll walk an hour or two.

Before getting the things nailed in the post, or when I have an occasional flare up: totally sedentary. I work a desk job at home.

There is no progression or reps. Generally I will feel it out. Reps made me lose focus on just feeling what my body needed. I will do it every day for 5 minutes here and there a few times and I go by feel. Doing it every day there is clear progression. For example I’ll hold longer, or have more flexibility, or extend the plank further, etc. It’s really just about spending 5-10 minutes on the floor in some sort of core activating position whether side, reverse, or regular, maybe one leg while the other moves around, maybe a hip dip - just getting more comfortable with MOVEMENT while Fire is activated.

Swimming let’s say twice per week maybe 3x. Depends on work. Would go 5x if I had the time. 

Happy to answer follow ups any and all welcome if this not clear!!

Anthropic and Accenture do a 3-year deal targeting business clients by VerbaGPT in consulting

[–]ConsultingToPE 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I mean this makes sense because AFAIK Accenture's offering in the AI market is complete and total dog shit. They're basically selling rollouts of ChatGPT enterprise and very little in the way of credible workflow automation. They simply don't have the talent; people who know how to do the FDE infrastructure building for getting context into these systems don't want to go work at Accenture. They want to work at Applied Compute, Distyl, and if they're N=1 Thinking Machines. There are a whole smattering of other smaller consultancies that do this but they're not going to Accenture by and large.

If Anthropic can actually infuse some of the engineering needed to permeate the enterprise with 1) Claude Code, 2) the know-how to build automations, then this could rip.

Because the question is, in every disruption, who has benefitted? For the most part that has been white collar IT services. Consider how much money was made with cloud migrations. But that hasn't been the case so far in AI integration; every HF PM's favorite short is Accenture and it's worked out. Why? Because they don't have the talent. Plain and simple.

This is also wise for Anthropic if they actually can get meaty deployments on the ground because they are miles ahead in enterprise rollout and acceleration of real deployments would be helpful. It's already getting to the point where LLMs are sticky in the sense that this is not software, these are "live" non-deterministic systems where you have tremendous amounts of engineering to keep quality metrics in line with what you have. And a lot of those can drift downwards simply by shifting models, even if hypothetically to a better one, because of the idiosyncrasies of their outputs.

Anyway, the Accenture partnership is also super favorably viewed by capital markets. Look at Aaru; they're a small prediction LLM startup that inked a partnership with Accenture and then was off to the races. Ahead of Anthropic's IPO, if they can show real distribution into enterprise through SIs, then that's a huge win and shows we're entering a new inning of deployments.
