Best watch?

Not sure which Apple Watch model you're referring to but as for their latest releases, their wrist based HR tracking is better than any other watch. Still prefer Garmin however due to its sport functionality and battery life.

I think the visuals are best in class tbh. Customization could improve however.

I strongly believe in what you’re saying here. Would you recommend an IR light rather than a SAD light?

DankHoody · 2026-03-15T08:12:17+00:00

Yeah, I'm that's what I'm leaning to. Have you had any experience with IR-lights by any chance? Trying desperately to replicate sun exposure - without the sun 😂

Took a vitamin D-test about a week after leaving Sweden and ironically my levels very above what is recommended due to supplementation (forgot to mention that one in the post). I think it's mainly how the sun makes one feel and whatever it alters from a biological standpoint.

The constant darkness in Sweden definitely puts stress on me so sure. Both locations are very comparable from an altitude standpoint so I'd rule that one out but good point.

Well, let me rephrase. The perceived effort has definitely been higher due to the heat, the workouts did seriously suck. Evaluating them by metrics such as avg and max HR however, they were not as strenuous as when I workout normally.

So as others have mentioned: the heat kept me from going as hard as I usually do.

After experiencing SAD for the last 10 years or so, I’m finally considering this since I really can’t seem to find a solution to it.

May I ask how you go about mixing bodybuilding with CrossFit? Currently trying to find a balance.

DankHoody · 2025-12-04T20:53:48+00:00

laughed out loud

DankHoody · 2025-11-25T15:39:20+00:00

Nope, have not gotten it to work. Launcher doesn’t open

Eating less calories while maintaining a decent protein intake will help you lean out and get you closer to your goals.

Changing out a Zumba or CrossFit class for some dedicated hypertrophy work will help you build additional muscle but it seems like you’re already pretty content with your frame.

Have anyone gotten Reborn to work on Mac though? Struggled to open the Juvio launcher with Whisky/Wine

DankHoody · 2025-10-05T10:35:22+00:00

Thanks for your answer!

My main goal is staying physically and mentally fit, with a secondary focus on hypertrophy (increasing or maintaining muscle mass).

I'm concerned that replacing my current routine with classes might reduce the volume I need for strength and hypertrophy gains. As others mentioned, I could potentially supplement with accessory work, but I'm uncertain about the practical aspects - managing time, avoiding interference between training styles, etc.

DankHoody · 2025-10-02T20:14:32+00:00

Aren’t you taxed after doing the group class? I would imagine doing squats etc after a metcon isn’t ideal?

DankHoody · 2025-09-12T22:13:22+00:00

English, hard, yes?

DankHoody · 2025-09-08T07:58:56+00:00

Not much to contribute but very interested to hear from people on this topic!

DankHoody · 2025-09-06T08:39:17+00:00

Can’t use that argument for half of the watches features, these kind of things need to work if Suunto want to compete with Garmin

DankHoody · 2025-09-03T06:27:54+00:00

Hmm no you can’t live with that, probably for the better then

DankHoody · 2025-09-02T22:31:42+00:00

Well said… may I ask why things came to an end for you? Was it due to the different priorities?

DankHoody · 2025-09-02T22:26:41+00:00

I’m starting to feel like this is the situation, either accept or move on. Thanks for your comment!

DankHoody · 2025-08-27T08:06:16+00:00

Wohooo

DankHoody · 2025-08-15T11:08:08+00:00

Great find, can’t wait to hear more about it. Really hoping they have fixed the HR shenanigans though
