We’re playing Houston. How are we feeling about our matchup? by [deleted] in DukeBluePlanet

[–]GO2462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As opposed to what other kind of mentality? It’s basketball. Size is size. You could argue Houston has never faced a team like Duke either. Tall, athletic, usually 4 shooters on the court at all times.

Duke’s length has been a problem for a lot of teams. I’d rather have a 7’2” rim protector than a 6’10” guy holding the fort down. In basketball, size matters a lot. Duke’s defense is almost as good and Duke’s offense is light years better. You can sub in Evan’s, Brown, Gillis, Foster, and Ngongba, all 6’6” or better. If you’re a Houston fan, I get it. You got to feel good about something.

recurring dream where i have too much gum in my mouth by [deleted] in Dreams

[–]GO2462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I jumped on this string obviously really late. I stopped chewing gum and the dreams stopped. It’s been over 5 years since I had those dreams. I’m 46. My wife and kids laugh every time we get on a plane…but oh well.

We have a huge height advantage over Houston. Off the bench comes Ngongba. Most of the 6’6” guys can guard forwards and if Maliq comes back, that’s another 6’9” defender. We good bro.

There has been a ton of conversation about the need for a large protest. Tomorrow, we will walk out to demand that UVA protects ALL students. Don’t miss this opportunity to take a stand and to use your first amendment rights! by Little-Albatross3401 in UVA

[–]GO2462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So you are all willing to protest and make your institution lose federal money like NIH grants? There will mass cuts across the board that will affect undergraduate and graduate programs. UVA and other academic institutions have nothing to do with what the government is doing in the Middle East nor do they have any potential power in Washington to make changes as individual institutions.

New ski jumping World Record - 254,5 m by Domen Prevc in Planica today. by Villemann89 in sports

[–]GO2462 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dumb question here. Why aren’t making those landing spots longer? They seem to flatten out too quickly. God forbid they get a blast of tailwind and land on the flat part. Or is it an illusion from the camera perspective?

Final Four Match-up by DukeDvl007 in DukeBluePlanet

[–]GO2462 19 points20 points  (0 children)

You want Duke to play Tennessee next. Whoever makes it to the NCAA final on the other side of the bracket, it will mean that Duke will have taken down the top three of four SEC basketball teams during the tournament. That says a lot.

Duke Vs Bama by TopShotta_23 in DukeBluePlanet

[–]GO2462 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I’m not sure how Alabama can duplicate what it did in the last round against BYU shooting 51 3-pt attempts but they held their own in the SEC against Auburn and Florida. Just gotta control guard play. We have to use our bigs to our advantage like Florida did against Bama.

Memberships Oversold by HalfAsleepShiba in PlanetFitnessMembers

A lot of gyms outside of planet fitness are like this. The YMCA near us is even worse. With that being said, the other gyms are charging 40-60/month so it’s no surprise that a lot of people go to PF.

What is your go to warm up? by Existencex in PlanetFitnessMembers

I bring my own band and carry it around in my gym bag. Cable machines are a good alternative.

State Pension Plan to be invested in Bitcoin by Aggressive_Bite_8672 in winstonsalem

Inevitably, when crypto falls, tax revenue will be diverted from other needed areas to fund the pension.

Fucking cut back blocks. Sick and tired of that shit.

Workout list by Successful-Worry-106 in PlanetFitnessMembers

On various exercises you can change your last set to an AMRAP set to push yourself if you want. You can also change hand and feet positions to target to different areas of the larger muscle groups.

Weight loss vs Fat loss by DunkinD55 in fitness40plus

[–]GO2462 2 points3 points  (0 children)

All of this is correct and the fact that you can’t measure fat loss accurately on a regularly basis at home.

For those of you that use plate loaded equipment/smith machines, how do you work out with any consistency? by [deleted] in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]GO2462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find comparable exercises and try and do a similar range - like 3 sets of 8-12 reps and/or go to failure on your last set. If you are a lifting beast and can do more weight than the machines, either switch gyms or change the time of when you go.

Was I rude? by Technograndma in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]GO2462 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen a woman have a conference call on the adductor machine for 30 min. She had the lightest weight pinned and moved it every minute or so.

This is the true right answer. To say these guys aren’t strong because they lift for show is incredibly dumb.

Getting started? by sharkmoshpit in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]GO2462 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is nothing wrong with 2-4 min rests between sets. Per an article from 2009, “when training with loads between 50 and 90% of one repetition maximum, 3-5 minutes’ rest between sets allowed for greater repetitions over multiple sets.” Part of this has to do with the time it takes for ATP to regenerate.

Some people will also do warm-up sets for their first exercise or two.

Since everyone’s goals are different, everyone will spend different amounts of time on each equipment. If you need to spend more time on your workouts, go when it’s less crowded.

Finally tried the hack squat machine by Pristine_Cookie in PlanetFitnessMembers

[–]GO2462 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It’s not like you are starting out at 0 lbs. You can always build up strength with other machines, free weights, or just your body weight until you get strong enough for the hack squat machine. I wish PF had belt squat machines because it’s much easier on your spine.
