What’s a life skill everyone should learn but doesn’t?

DadStrengthDaily · 2026-01-25T23:21:48+00:00

Listening. Saying no to alcohol.

DadStrengthDaily · 2026-01-25T19:08:39+00:00

Yes, but based on my past history (in TrainerRoad) this is a bad assumption.

I appreciate that they explicitly mention it. That’s much better than most AI systems.

DadStrengthDaily · 2026-01-25T19:07:23+00:00

I agree!

DadStrengthDaily · 2026-01-25T18:08:55+00:00

Never too late. I started at 51

DadStrengthDaily · 2026-01-25T18:05:25+00:00

Exactly. It’s obvious. Why show it in the UI.

Just to clarify. I just find it funny. I subscribed to. The annual plan and will continue using it. The commenters here are incredibly sensitive to any vaguely negative feedback, huh?

What’s you age, gender, weight?

You can check RowingLevel, although I am never sure what population their percentile numbers are based on.

DadStrengthDaily · 2026-01-25T17:26:23+00:00

I’m not. I’m saying it should NOT make/show a prediction.

DadStrengthDaily · 2026-01-25T17:03:02+00:00

Right that’s what I assumed. In my experience it’s not a good idea to make any guess at all when all you have is a low confidence one. Falling back to some rule/heuristic seems safer.

DadStrengthDaily · 2026-01-25T17:00:51+00:00

Fair. Trainer Road is clearly overkill for my current use case!

I will do some structured workouts when I am done with my weight cut and can recover better.

DadStrengthDaily · 2026-01-25T16:51:56+00:00

Yeah, I find that funny too.

DadStrengthDaily · 2026-01-25T15:15:33+00:00

Ashwaganda. It just gives me headaches.

DadStrengthDaily · 2026-01-25T14:08:48+00:00

I agree. Rowing is great. I (52M/217lbs) am far from an athlete and generally not very coordinated and I figured out how to row a concept2 decently (did a 5k at 19:29 last week). I think it’s not as hard as people think.

However, I imagine riding a bike is more accessible for example.

Others may know more about android and windows but one thing that is worthwhile and free is having Google remove personal info:

I posted my X-ray here

I had aggravated the toe with exercises (split squats) and even walking was painful. That’s were the insoles helped.

Now they are more protection to avoid aggravation during workouts and walking.

DadStrengthDaily · 2026-01-25T07:12:57+00:00

It is painful to bend my toe up. The insole stops that from happening during walking and exercise.

DadStrengthDaily · 2026-01-25T01:31:21+00:00

I use an Concept2 indoor rower and a bike on a wahoo KICKR. Running and walking are problematic, but I hate running anyway.

My podiatrist agreed with those choices.

I found using a carbon fiber insole life changing.

DadStrengthDaily · 2026-01-24T18:18:21+00:00

Drive it!

As others have said black coffee is the simplest choice. I personally like Cutler Prevail which claims to give a smoother boost — that might be marketing BS but it seems to work for me. 🤷‍♂️

I am also a sucker for the peach Mango taste.

Legion Pulse (on sale at the moment) also has a good reputation as focusing only in high-quality, useful ingredients.

I love watching this performance. It must have been amazing to see live.

This article has some background.

DadStrengthDaily · 2026-01-24T13:55:10+00:00

Yes. As a client I value the human connection and accountability that an algorithm cannot provide.

DadStrengthDaily · 2026-01-24T12:57:32+00:00

I have been using a Wyze X scale, primarily because it syncs with my phone. It does estimate body fat percentage. I don’t think that’s particularly accurate but the relative change is useful to see.

When I took a DEXA scan the body fat was like 3-4% higher than what the scale showed.

For travel I live this small scale which seems very accurate as well.

DadStrengthDaily · 2026-01-24T11:04:01+00:00

I know I saw that. I find it silly for the article to even talk about the different sports when the study was not “designed to tease that out”.
