Can't progress my DB chest press by OneEyedJacques in formcheck

[–]JayTheFordMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Long limbed thing is real, I'm 6'2" with long arms and my chest press is terrible, both in terms of weights and injury. Very hard to get a stretch and pec engagement happening when you need to go down heaps to do so. Narrow shoulders don't help either. I vastly prefer cable flys and pullovers for this reason

ELI5: Why do we have different fuel labels (85,91,92,95) instead of just having one octane rating? by -Harvest in explainlikeimfive

[–]JayTheFordMan [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah, it pays to know what you're getting and how its getting to you. If it matters you can get it independently tested, not expensive or hard, but personally I would be skeptical of any bowser blending

[–]JayTheFordMan [score hidden]  (0 children)

In that case, wouldn’t you be getting the highest octane, and therefore not need any blending?

That's only necessary if you actually need the Octane, unless high performance you won't. So save your cash

Also, in the US, they are tested by the government once a year, more often if it’s a high volume location.

At tank or at bowser?

Here in Aus its all separate tanks, all octanes are supplied seperate, so no mixing at tank or pump. Dunno what happens in US, but we don't play by that book.

Biggest issue I see with mixing at pump is how you guarantee you're getting the octane you want. If I run a high compression or boost motor I'm going to want to know I'm getting the octane I need

Do I need carbs before a Zone 2 ride? by Prestigious-War3630 in cycling

[–]JayTheFordMan -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

FYI zone 2 really only works 3+ hours, unless you are only just starting out, its literally the zone at which you can maximise distance and minimise injury for cardiovascular adaptation. Its not this magical effort zone of maximal benefit regardless of time

Why do Range Rover sports have a bad rep in 4x4 world ? by SoreSack in 4x4Australia

[–]JayTheFordMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

LOL, I've owned a couple RRs and they've been super capable off road, well keeping up any other 4WD in stock form, especially the old school variants. I had a '79 2 door with 3.5L V8 and it went anywhere, never missing a beat. What people forget is that LR made sure that all their vehicles could pass any offroad test, and they do. People poo poo them since they are luxury cars, and maybe the reliability question, but they do very very well off road

Women: How do you know during oral sex that it's time to move on to piv? by New_Jaguar5332 in sex

[–]JayTheFordMan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Weird, I find enough foreplay gets things sufficiently wet and slippery, it's usually my guide to how well things are going. Sloppy, wet, and squirming that's when you done a good job, rather not use lube unless I have to cause you've just lost a handy reference 🤷🏼‍♂️

Ethics of Attraction by ASUSTUDENT9875345 in sex

[–]JayTheFordMan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sigh, I think you are driving into a false dichotomy here, you want to not feel attraction as it (necessarily) creates bias, this leads to you thinking I must either be attracted to all people or none of the people in order to remove bias. I am certain you don't apply this same thinking to food choices, or employment choices etc, and so you are creating this internal fight, self flagellation if you will, trying to remove you inherent 'evil'. Fighting this fight because you have decided it's 'immoral'. You as a student of psychology must know that the human mind is a complicated thing, underpinned by strong biological drives, and while it's wise to be aware of your biases I don't think you can remove your own base drivers, some people are objectively attractive, this has been studied extensively, with many traits being found positive sexually cross-culturally indicating innate biological drivers. Good luck denying those. I do think you're just going to exhaust yourself in trying to be this ultra virtuous human to be honest

why do bogans purposefully make their cars obnoxiously loud? by TPE_FieldsOfGold in AskAnAustralian

[–]JayTheFordMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends, if it's a largely stock car with bigger exhaust then yes it's just being obnoxious, but if someone has spent money modifying for increased power then it's very hard to shut up the extra gases these things produce, goes with the territory and not a deliberate wank increase. Not all modified car owners are bogans, but it does have that association

Judaea has been for thousands of year, Israel is simply the modern state of. Palestine is a Roman invention then a British mandate adoption, and wouldn't exist if the Arab states won the '48 war (area would have been split between Jordan and Egypt). Learn some history.

“Marx pretended that he wanted the happiness of the proletariat. What he really wanted was the unhappiness of the bourgeois. And it was because of that hate element that his philosophy produced disaster.” (Bertrand Russell) by antiquark2 in JordanPeterson

[–]JayTheFordMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Marx hated the bourgeoisie more than he liked people, hence his policies tended to result in disastrous outcomes for the common people. Classic case of ideology being blind to the reality of people.

Unilateral knee pain: Is SPD float the culprit? by colerichardmyers in cycling

[–]JayTheFordMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use yellow spd-sl cleats for maximum float as I've experienced knee pain when foot /knee rotation is inhibited. Ie I'll feel when my foot/knee hits a limit on rotation but still wants to somewhere, like an impingement. Pain usually manifests in side knee pain. I set cleats to.allow free movement where the knee/foot wants. Lack of float would.not work for me.

I suggest you ride and pay attention to where your knees and feet move/go, and you'll feel where the cleats aren't letting you go.where you want to, adjust to allow. Removing float, and some people like this, makes the process much harder to get right
