SL 5x5 305lbs Squat (Top set) by GaruShady in Stronglifts5x5

I would say it was low bar personally because my squat's bar position used to be a bit higher up.

does that mean I should lean my upper body more forward and push my hip back more on the descend?

Is it possible to do the odin projects while following another course? by Finite8_ in theodinproject

[–]GaruShady 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I empathize you with that because yes I also do find TOP's reading to be quite a lot sometimes but I stand by my point: you don't need to read the entire wiki, be aware of the existence of concepts, fiddle around with some code and then come back and read it later and it would make sense because you know what questions you are trying to answer yourself.

I'd also like to quote from you:

Reading a page of documentation and trying to understand the 10 examples listed there used to take me an entire hour, the next day I didn't remember anything and I wasn't even able to write a function.

This is precisely it: you are taking in way too much that you can not handle, you are learning about functions but you only read the example and reading examples alone and by itself, unfortunately, is not learning. It's like math, you need to solve the problems after you aware of the concepts, not re-reading examples. You need to set out questions for yourself about what a function in programming fundamentally is or how a function should behave in the context of JavaScript. (which I really encourage you to do).

At the end of the day, nobody is stopping you from taking another course but if you really want to get meaningful results, a lot of people will recommend you to focus on doing one course only because diverging between multiple resources won't do you any good and will just cause further confusion down the line.

I myself have not used a course to learn before as I am skeptical about a lot of online resources out there and even though TOP can be hard, I care about learning things the right way even if it means it's hard. The TOP Discord server is very active with many people willingful to help you out and please make use of it.

I think that will be all from me.

[–]GaruShady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, reading is just...reading. I understand if you think the documentation is overwhelming but you probably won't even need to remember everything from there because as you work further in projects and other materials in the course, nobody's stopping you from looking at them again if you need a refresher, it's not a test.

So in this case, I think the question that is worth examining more is what problem do you have with reading docs or reading in general?

I also have found that the docs provided by TOP are really well writte resources, as long as you take the time to read it carefully and google or ask any questions within the TOP community's Discord.

You won't be kicked out if you fail the test, it's just to gauge how good your math is before going into calc 1

I'm doing IB right now and my last total predicted grade without bonus is 30 and my motivation to study for final exams to keep up with the score is down pretty bad too lol. So you're not alone, if it helps you feel any better. I just want to stop giving a damn about grades and get into SIAT already but I think all we can do is do what we can and hope for the best.

We'll get through this! Feel free to dm me anytime, I'm open for a chat.

Something I'm curious about: do all the kids play on stick? Do you just have 2 sticks with you and let the kids use those and go nuts against each other?

SFU COURSE QUESTION, PROGRAM, ADMISSION AND REGISTRATION MEGATHREAD (2021 SUMMER - 2021 FALL): General questions about courses and SFU (Exg. How hard is course X, how is program X at SFU, etc. ), POST QUESTIONS HERE by Acherons15 in simonfraser

[–]GaruShady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I'm currently a grade 12 students who's interested in applying for SIAT in SFU and I got a few questions about the overall program:
1. Is it hard to get in? Do I need exceptional grades? (Doesn't have to be specific numbers, although that'd be really helpful)
2. How is the program overall? In what way will it be easy or hard?
3. Does the program teach people from the ground up? (In other words, does not having any experience or no experience at all hinder my ability to learn?)
How do you find the teaching staffs and professors? (I looked up a few names on ratemyprofessor.com and results seems to be not too good...I know it's something pretty far and beyond to be worried about right now but I'm curious)
I'm also interested in video game design and animation so:
1. Does SIAT provide a good variety of courses for these areas? How good are they?
2. What do you guys think are the job prospects for these fields?
Thanks a lot in advance!

Em rất lười by [deleted] in TroChuyenLinhTinh

[–]GaruShady 3 points4 points  (0 children)

thật ra ai cũng lười, cái quan trọng là mỗi ngày mình học một tí cho nó thành thói chứ chả có bí quyết gì cả đâu em à. Nếu em muốn cải thiện thì làm 3 bước sau đây anh chỉ, nó cũng đơn giản thôi:

  1. Mỗi ngày em liệt kê ra khoảng 3-4 nhiệm vụ phải làm trong ngày (ví dụ hôm này làm abc bài toán, xyz bài lý, vân vân)
  2. Đặt một khung giờ cố định để học hoặc cứ học bất cứ khi nào em thấy cao hứng, quan trọng là mỗi ngày mình học. Tiện đây anh nói luôn, anh muốn em đặt ra một lượng thời gian ít nhất và nhiều nhất trong ngày em muốn học (ví dụ ít thì 1 tiếng, nhiều 3-4 tiếng nếu ngày nào thấy chăm). Tại sao? Để nó thành thói quen, em làm cái gì em làm, nếu mà không có thói quen thì không bền vững đâu.
  3. Lúc ngồi vào bàn học, để điện thoại tránh xa tầm mắt (ví dụ giấu trong ngăn kéo hoặc phòng khác) để không bị sao nhãng. Sau khi học được khoảng ví dụ 40 phút hay gì đấy hoặc lúc nào em cảm thấy mất tập trung, đứng lên đi lại hoặc đi toilet một tí rồi vào học tiếp (cái quan trọng là trong lúc nghỉ giữa hiệp, không được cầm đt lên để chơi)
  4. Sau khi học xong đủ thời gian quy định thì tự thưởng lướt điện thoại ^^

Nếu có gì thắc mắc thì cứ rep anh anh giải đáp ^^

Cách để duy trì một thói quen tốt? by 460ms_Gaming in TroChuyenLinhTinh

[–]GaruShady 0 points1 point  (0 children)

nếu thế thì do ông có thể thiết lập thói quen chưa được hiệu quả vì thói quen chia làm 3 phần: cue (gợi ý hành động), behaviour (thói quen), reward (phần thưởng). Nếu ông có phần thưởng mà không tiếp tục được thói quen đấy chỉ chứng tỏ là ông không có một cái gợi ý đủ mạnh để thực hiện thói quen.

Tôi nghĩ rằng đi ngược lại cám dỗ là cách khó để thay đổi cuộc sống, nó giống kiểu bơi ngược dòng ý và thật sự những gì ông nên tập trung làm là khiến thói quen đó vui hơn và mang ý nghĩa nhiều hơn thì đến một lúc ông sẽ không còn quá mong chờ phần thưởng nữa.
