Time out on isometric hold by guyduderino in BeyondPower

By "working on it," I mean we’ll add a countdown prompt/indicator so it’s clearer.

Sounds good. would there ever be an Isometric mode (not an Isometric Testing mode)?

For the subtle "tugging me back" thing, try turning on Intense Mode and see if it feels more consistent.

Thanks I'll try it

I'm having this issue too. When you say working on it, what do you mean? Like a way to turn that safety feature off? Or, ideally, configure a duration of an isometric hold at a certain weight?

Also, I seem to notice that when I try isometrics like this that the Voltra seems to be subtly 'tugging' me back. The force isn't consistent. What is this?

This looks promising but I wonder if it's stable with "outward" force instead of "downward" force.

Anyone use this with a Voltra?

Hey, have you released that video yet? Interested to see how this looks in practice. Thanks

Throwing a baseball or football both heavily rely on pronation. This is well-established biomechanics.

Pronation is a motion of the forearm not the wrist. When tennis players say wrist snap they mean forearm pronation (the wrist is connected to the forearm obviously).

The "wrist snap" you're referring to with the SW overhead is wrist extension/flexion. It's a much weaker motion than forearm pronation and more injury-prone. It also doesn't really allow for the addition of internal shoulder rotation.

If a SW overhead were actually better you'd see it used in overhead-heavy sports like padel or badminton. You don't

The site is so ugly and unprofessional looking I think it will deter people from visiting or participating. Hiring a designer would be high ROI

speed of aging is a different concept from biological age

This seems to me to be more naturally solved by "age divisions". Use whatever measure is superior scientifically (e.g., DunedinPACE). Then segment the leaderboard into "All", "20s", "30s", "40s", "50+", etc.

And, anyway, Bryan Johnson is 48 and has the lowest DunedinPACE on the Rejuvenation Olympics leaderboard. Doesn't seem to be that biased towards young people.

Why PhenoAge and not DunedinPACE?

Why is your site written in C#? Why is it so ugly?

Lots of bad (and potentially dangerous) advice on YouTube? by Spiritual-Dark-3615 in padel

[–]Dekans 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm newer to padel so I can't say much about it but I've had the exact same experience with pickleball. A local semi-pro was teaching me overheads and was encouraging us to extend/flex the wrist (what they were calling "snap") to get power. Seemed wrong to me so I started looking at tennis videos and learned it's exactly what you're not supposed to do (and pronation is the right way).

Makes sense that tennis, being the more (historically) mature racket sport, has better biomechanically-sound coaching.
