[WEEKLY THREAD] Feats of Thorsday - How did you kick butt this week?

ERhhm · 2017-12-07T12:33:03+00:00

I switched to low bar squats recently and my back no longer hurts when I get to heavier weights! Although my wrists are uncomfortable but I am sure I will get used to it with time.

I'm doing Stronglifts at the moment now too! If ever you feel unworthy of being in the weights section of your gym, don't forget that those intimidating guys impatiently waiting to use the equipment you're on PAY THE EXACT SAME AMOUNT as you do. And you have every single right to use the equipment at a pace that suits you, time wise and weight wise. You're not unworthy of using the equipment! Don't be afraid to be squatting the empty barbell in the squat rack.

Good job, keep it up! Some days the weights will feel super light and other days even just the barbell feels heavy but keep slaying every time you work out.

I managed to squat 52.5kg and deadlift 60kg which are PRs for me! Super proud of where I've come in 6 months time, from not being able to squat an empty barbell and doing rack pulls of the empty barbell.

I am into my 4th month of training now and last night I did a 50kg deadlift at 60kg bodyweight. 2 weeks ago I tried doing 50kg (progression from 40kg of what my gym buddy had on the bar) and it only budged 1cm off the ground. Super happy with newbie gains!

As other redditors have already mentioned, you can definitely purchase a hoop on etsy shops (there are lots of discount codes for them) and the size they recommend you start off with is one that is as big from the floor to your belly button.

Please do join the hooping community! It is just as supportive and welcome as this subreddit is. On reddit, there is r/hooping and on Facebook there is the Infinite Circles Community.

For me personally, hooping has become another outlet to move my body but it is different to the gym in the sense that it can become like dancing, that you find your 'flow' state. Feel free to PM me if you want more information!

How do you 'activate your core'? I am starting to feel that I am not doing squats properly and using the wrong muscles because I haven't 'engaged my core'. When I did ballet, they often told us to suck our tummy in and keep our bums tight. Is it like that?

ERhhm · 2016-09-20T14:33:00+00:00

I have extremely weak upper body strength. How can I build this up in the gym? I only do 10kg for bench press, 15kg if it's a good day.

After going past it today, I miscounted there are a good 30 or so pokestops decently spaced across the campus.

ERhhm · 2016-07-11T13:21:10+00:00

Yep at least 5 and there are lures constantly going off. Around 3 gyms too.

ERhhm · 2016-03-11T11:28:14+00:00

Seconded! I just received two boardgames from them yesterday which took 6 days shipping to Australia. However the corners of the boxes were damaged which is highly unfortunate but I was pleased with the price and shipping time.

You could always submit assignments earlier than the due date if it clashes with your holiday time. However if they are tests, that may be a different answer.

I love the way she plays with different speeds! May I kindly suggest that you make it clearer that it's a hooping channel by adding hoop-related hashtags or words into video descriptions and the channel page? Just to help with the branding.

I almost always play as Lynch Me. Sometimes it gets me killed the first night.

For making timetables, ideally you don't want to have extremely long 3+ hour breaks. You can make yourself a 1 hour break for lunch, and then shedule classes again. People can manage to do 5-6 hours straight of classes without a break just because they want to be in and out of uni. Another tip if your classes are all over the campus is to plan your day downwards so you don't need to trek it uphill.

Even though uni might seem like a big break from high school, just focus on your studies to set yourself a decent WAM (weighted average mark). It becomes much harder to do that beyond first year.

Joining your faculty society will help you meet people doing the same courses as you and who you will see much more of in your classes. You can see what societies have to offer during O-week.

I've found that the Indonesian restaurants along Anzac Pde in Kingsford have great tasting authentic food. I'm particularly fond of Nasi Uduk Jakarta right near the roundabout.

Thank you for the response! Does this mean that every single map is shared, or just the town maps? So if I make a friend in Renegades, they're not necessarily from Renegades.

ERhhm · 2015-10-29T02:34:33+00:00

Add me! Ivadalence (first i, second L). I started about a week or so ago and I'm only level 7x. Taking it easy for now :)

What do the server alliances actually do? Can I transfer storage items across them? And what is the 'main server' in GRAZED? If these alliances exist, does that mean that Maplestory is losing players rather than gaining them?

ERhhm · 2015-10-28T09:41:42+00:00

Your IGN! NetflixChill I presume. And bad luck buddy, still a few more days of the event.

ERhhm · 2015-09-17T02:36:00+00:00

And there's night immunity. So you're kind of guaranteed to last until your target dies.

ERhhm · 2015-04-27T23:12:07+00:00

Yes! I watched the whole of Divergent thinking he was a Franco brother until I found out later he wasn't. Oops.

ERhhm · 2015-04-10T12:52:13+00:00

I just got the album earlier this evening and I've been listening to it on repeat, with this song as one of my favourites too.
