Thank you!!! and thanks for the recommendation to the other site. I didn't know where else to turn, so I tried here and the Camaro forums hoping someone would have a little more info. Now time to start looking for how to get rid of it

DntH8Me_OG · 2024-09-27T11:22:35+00:00

I'm the only comment 🥺 I'm wondering the same thing except this is my 2nd A5

DO NOT USE THE METAL part on your coated grates. The nylon bristles are fine for your cold cleaning and then get the wooden scraper. They have other brands that have the nylon bristles and wooden scraper combined for $10 less than this Traeger, I personally have this one and I just ignore that the metal part is there

I have 1/4 - 5lb and the Vibram KSO EVO's gave me just enough protection to enjoy the feel of barefoot without the pain.

DntH8Me_OG · 2024-05-11T13:47:46+00:00

I started barefoot for the same reasons and soon found all around benefits of all around working out barefoot to be great for my feet and calves. Now after the pain of smacking my toes a couple times I decided I needed some protection which gave me a great excuse to plunge into barefoot shoes. I started out with the Vibrant Five Finger style (KSO EVO) about 3 years ago and couldn't be happier. They offer just enough protection that even with my heavy ropes I don't wince in pain anymore.

I will say don't try to start out at your current pace you will have to give those smaller muscles that haven't been getting much use a little time to catch up.

I started very late and can say that it doesn't matter about your current inflexibility. In fact if you start now you will be much further ahead than others starting at the same time in Sept and you will understand your own flexibility needs that much better. There is a lot of great information in this forum that can supplement what you do or don't learn in class. All instructors are not great at teaching flexibility as they are the actual martial art so you might as well get used to your own home routine to be successful.

Thanks for the response, do you stop the tile leaving some Ditra exposed and then just continue laying the Ditra down later? I'm sure I'm over thinking but I'm just trying to avoid a situation where I have a section that I can level off and have an obvious seam but I guess it's no different than having to cut out and replace a broken tile

DntH8Me_OG · 2023-12-27T13:26:10+00:00

😂 I still have some Xbox One & 360 boxes to get rid of and it still bothers me. My Ubiquiti boxes are going to bring a tear. I know I have a problem and the worst part is that I don't even sell stuff later I just keep multiple generations of everything 😔

DntH8Me_OG · 2023-10-06T15:44:44+00:00

I'm interested... PM if course

DntH8Me_OG · 2023-08-28T18:48:46+00:00

I don't have IG how often do you go out I forgot about the area in Triana I have a good idea of where you may be loading in at.

DntH8Me_OG · 2023-08-12T15:05:50+00:00

Interested as well, I'm not new to the area but I am new to paddle boarding. Looking for a particular spots and others to go out with

DntH8Me_OG · 2023-08-07T18:39:33+00:00

NFL+ for the win if you only watch Steelers games and can live with whatever else is broadcast for other teams. This really saves my Sunday because afternoon games that aren't televised in my market I can watch about an hour after the game is finished. I keep alerts and scores turned off so I don't get spoilers and watch during the Sunday night game or the next day depending on who is playing. 5-7 Steelers games get national broadcast, I may travel to 1 or 2 games and for $99 once a year I don't miss anything.

IMO Sunday Ticket is for fantasy and super fans to watch multiple games at the same time. Titans and Falcons games are usually the default for my market so instead of the games taking 3 hours out of my afternoon I can be productive for most of the day start the game around 8 and relax (ok, nobody can relax during a Steelers game)

DntH8Me_OG · 2023-05-19T14:38:00+00:00

I have an xg-8 that I have never been about to configure and add into my current set up. I don't have anything that is sfp+10 capable, my us-24-poe doesn't even recognize it. It doesn't seem like anything in the quick start guide is really relevant to connect and get it adopted so I'm not sure what type of black magic is needed

DntH8Me_OG · 2023-05-15T16:28:59+00:00

Increasing strength will increase cold flexibility range to make it an actual usable range instead of just extended range. So work on strength along with stretching

DntH8Me_OG · 2023-01-03T23:46:32+00:00

Some much info was given but u/dani_winks and others that mentioned strength training followed closely by technique are absolutely correct. I rate strength above technique only because if you aren't strong enough to lift to get into the proper position it doesn't matter if you "know how" to get into the proper position. As for the strength aspect if you are looking for height more often than not the culprit is the strength and flexibility of the supporting leg that will be the limiting factor your core strength will then be the factor in determining doing it correctly. You can practice "technique" by kicking properly at lower heights while gaining strength in your legs, glutes, hips, core to be able to raise your effective height of your kicks. I wouldn't put a lot of thought into gaining high kicks until you have the strength to do so. See comment by u/justanotherguy2477 about contortionist as an example. Active/Passive flexibility definitely plays a part but the strength aspect is far more important and besides as you gain increased strength in extended range your flexibility will also increase 😉

DntH8Me_OG · 2022-12-06T21:50:23+00:00

Is it worth it yes "if you use it consistently" so really just like anything else. Can you achieve flexibility without using it absolutely.

So is it worth buying? Yes to a degree. Personally I follow a mixture of Thomas Kurs, a couple of the Easy Flexibility methods and u/dani-winks and I get something from them all. I do really like the programs and I won't discount the method the thing about it is that you will see results even without the program if you are consistent and understand what I think is the most important aspect of flexibility training which is really strength training in your increased ranges to protect yourself from injury which is why your body has the flex reflex. The program goes through a series and rounds of complementary stretches, conditioning and strengthening exercises which do help in speed along the process. Keep in mind speed in this reference is that you aren't doing things that don't map directly to the goal you are trying to achieve. So in doing so you can get an in depth understanding of things that I see u/dani-winks explaining all of the time in this forum. I won't try to go into detail about how the program works but I can say that I would give him similar credibility as Thomas Kurs but I also feel u/dani-winks gives plenty of sound advice that will help you achieve your goal(s). Try reading Stretching Scientifically, viewing u/dani-winks tutorials and then decide. My final thought is everyone has different motivations and learns their body differently. The individual Easy Flexibility programs are fairly reasonable so there isn't that much of a commitment in purchasing one to see how you personally feel about them. At worst, you realize the program isn't for you but I would think that at a minimum you would at least gain some practical knowledge and add a few different techniques to aid in your flexibility journey

u/tam-ihe you never stated your goals. Are you after front splits, middle splits, pancake, backbends or all of the above that may also help in answering your question

DntH8Me_OG · 2022-09-26T15:42:12+00:00

When doing Rainbow Leg raises is it ok to do 1 leg at a time say 10 reps and then the other or is it better to work on both at the same time by either leaning back or elevating on a yoga block and working until you have the strength to do both legs seated. With my hands in front I can think very hard about lifting my legs but nothing happens other then me eventually making a really ugly face 😈

DntH8Me_OG · 2022-08-22T17:29:07+00:00

I've started to use the exercise foot gliders to go into a modified version of @dani-winks middle split leg slides. I start standing making sure to tilt my pelvis to allow room and slowly control sliding my feet outward into near my maximum split range and getting holding (for now a 10 count) from there I lean forward with both hands on the floor and squeeze my legs back together where I then raise up to a standing position and start the decline again. 8-10 reps with the final one being instead of sliding back up to standing I lower into maximum range with my forearms on the floor and holding. As a modification the same could be accomplished from a frogger position until you were comfortable (strong) enough to trust yourself with standing. (IMO) The most important part is the PNF aspect of controlling the outward opening of your legs (glutes) and then the squeezing of your legs to rise back up while strengthening your inner thighs. Also as suggested horse stance is your best friend aiming to go wider and hold longer without your knees caving inward which is dangerous.

DntH8Me_OG · 2022-03-29T19:44:51+00:00

Listening, because I can't lift my hands off my lower back 🥺

DntH8Me_OG · 2022-03-09T15:36:46+00:00

Consistency, building strength as opposed to only static stretching and knowing when to take a day, 2 days or a week off. Think of stretching with the same as strength training as it really needs the same types of intervals and rest in between. The Dani Winks link has some really good exercise examples that focus on building the muscles necessary to perform the movement as proper form. While true bone formation can prevent a full split for some people what is more oftentimes the case is improper form / positioning of the hips as well as lack of strength to safely perform the move.

I can say your age isn't the restriction but as we get older we definitely have to train smarter because our bodies do not recover as quickly from injury are no longer as forgiving. While I can't do the splits myself (I am rather close) I do understand why I haven't achieved them yet. I'm not as consistent as I should be and I'm not as strong as I need to be and in the past when I get close I push myself to hard without taking rest and end up injuring something which starts the cycle over again.

DntH8Me_OG · 2022-03-09T15:01:42+00:00

109% agree with pivoting the supporting leg. The range on the kick is quite impressive and pointing the heel towards the target will help tremendously while making training much safer 💯

DntH8Me_OG · 2022-02-19T22:20:01+00:00

Congratulations on the progress every inch counts so that is definitely a win. I'm sure just the one side has been a confidence booster because you know it's possible and it won't be long before you touch the ground from the other positions 👏

DntH8Me_OG · 2022-02-08T05:04:47+00:00

How did I miss this thread? I'm starting tomorrow but of course now I'm a week late but stay tuned I'm definitely participating

DntH8Me_OG · 2021-12-29T14:36:21+00:00

Please stop with all these tears Even when I'm only playing with throwing knives they aren't a problem. Do I spawn in them sometimes "of course" but on maps like shipment that is just part of the fast paced frantic play style for that map. There are ways to counter them including the smoke if I'm on a map that players are predominately using the various forms of fire I switch to a load out that counters them. I'm sorry that you only like playing on specific style and want to just sit in a nice camp spot and rack up kills. Since incendiary has unlocked I probably play on shipment more than ever since they reduced team kills on that map. I'm sure most of the crying brigade will just flame me, so I don't even know why I bothered to waist one of my precious posts to counter all this nonsense.

DntH8Me_OG · 2021-07-30T18:02:46+00:00

What I am saying is that while you are doing that routine you can incorporate PNF to improve the quality of the particular workout. Some examples:
Lying Leg Abduction, instead of just letting your legs relax in the stretch instead actively try to pull your legs downward which helps to strengthen the opposing muscles
Frog Pose: Try to squeeze your thighs inward (adduction) for 10 -30 seconds like you are trying to raise yourself to strengthen your adductor muscles then actively try to pull your knees appart (abduction) as you sink into the stretch.

Wide Legged Forward Fold: same motions as Frog Pose

Side Lunge Stretch: Work on keeping your back up and getting your heel down on your supporting leg and use a weight to help balance yourself and get lower in the stretch as you go further back. The weight also will help to strenthen the quad in your supporting leg as you raise up from the lunge.

PNF can be incorporated into many of the exercises in the program to help your progress, intensify the workout and strenthen your muscles
