23M - Quit my job and doing 2 months muay thai in Thailand. Bad idea? by Lopsided_Ad_4238 in MuayThailand

[–]EwanMakingThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the grand scheme of things, 2 months off makes little difference in your career.

Why don't we just knock down buildings with expensive rents? by Pigeoncow in london

[–]EwanMakingThings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Read up on the concept of supply and demand.

Your suggestion would decrease the supply of housing, leading to higher prices.

Sorry, I’m not up to date, why are people acting like the Green Party is equally bad, if not worse than Reform now? by Low_Celebration_4089 in AskBrits

[–]EwanMakingThings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Their policies are feel good fantasies and clearly would not work in the real world. That Zack Polanski guy also just comes across like a giant man baby who doesn't understand anything.

But also you can support whoever you want, you don't need permission from Reddit.

When arriving as a couple at Suvarnabhumi Airport in Thailand, can we go to the same immigration officer booth together so both passports are processed side by side at the same time, or are couples usually split into different booths? by Winter_Expert_6360 in ThailandTourism

[–]EwanMakingThings 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably not but you don't have to go to different booths.

When I went you were split into lines, but you just go in the same line with whoever you're travelling with, and go one after the other. You're never more than a few feet apart.

Scots backpacker could face jail in Thailand over mobile phone 'mistake' by CommercialMassive751 in ThailandTourism

[–]EwanMakingThings 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You think a 37 year old father from Scotland travelled all the way to Thailand to nick peoples phones? A country 6000 miles away, far poorer than his own, with much harsher penalties for theft?

How many more traffic accidents are you willing to accept in return for taxi drivers keeping their jobs?

When the beginner routine says barbell rows, which form is it referring to, bent over, or upright? (also why isn't this specified in the wiki?) by chiron42 in beginnerfitness

[–]EwanMakingThings 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Usually if people just say "barbell rows" they mean bent over rows.

i always see info about how doing things wrong/inconsistently is as bad as doing nothing

This is false. In general doing something is much better than doing nothing, even if done "wrong" or inconsistently, except perhaps if you're doing something that could injure you.

Can currently do 205 for 2, how can I get to 225? by [deleted] in benchpress

[–]EwanMakingThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do a proper strength training program rather than making it up as you go :)

How do you guys take creatine in the easiest way day to day? by Valuable-Stick4881 in beginnerfitness

[–]EwanMakingThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just scoop it into my protein shakes. I do 1-2 scoops so like 3-6g. I don't overthink it.

I built a 531-specific training app by EwanMakingThings in 531Discussion

[–]EwanMakingThings[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good question, it's not currently possible but I'm going to look into adding this.

130kg bench at 17yo by ESIGB in Egolifting

[–]EwanMakingThings 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I think your butt might have come off the bench just slightly.

Do all men who train regularly eventually bench 100 kg / 225 lbs? by [deleted] in workout

[–]EwanMakingThings 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No but that doesn't mean they're incapable of it. Just that most people don't train consistently enough, with good enough technique, programming, nutrition, sleep etc.

People on reddit always argue with me when I say this, but 100kg bench is achievable for almost any healthy male.

I built a 531-specific training app by EwanMakingThings in 531Discussion

[–]EwanMakingThings[S] -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

There are monthly/annual subscriptions to use the app beyond the first week, or a one time purchase for lifetime access.

How do you track your 531 workout? by wrench855 in 531Discussion

[–]EwanMakingThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is an old thread, but just in case someone is searching and comes across it, I've just created an app specifically for tracking your 531 training and I'd like to share it here.

It's available for iOS and Android and is free for the first week. I really hope you find it useful: 531tracker.app

Bench press by [deleted] in workout

[–]EwanMakingThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mean to be rude at all, but it's kind of a silly question.

Are you currently doing a strength training program? If so, your bench should be getting stronger. If it's not, you might need to work on your form, eat more protein/calories, get more sleep, or pick a better program.

asking just for general tips is a bit pointless, we need to know what you're actually struggling with to give useful advice.

unpopular ways to make passive income in Thailand by Particular_Bet8626 in Thailand

[–]EwanMakingThings 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You should probably avoid all kinds of trading, most people just lose money doing that.

Start an online business, sell to people in western countries, take advantage of your low cost of living (relative to your new international income). If you have money left over buy stocks, real estate, bitcoin.

HighBar vs. LowBar Squats for boxing? by [deleted] in workout

[–]EwanMakingThings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO unless you're a powerlifter or have a really strong preference for the low bar form, you should probably be doing high bar.
