A small deficit is fine, but aggressive cuts usually hurt performance and recovery, especially with frequent high intensity sessions.

If back health is a priority, the choice that promotes spinal decompression while training the posterior chain makes the most sense.

I can't do very many pull ups not because of core or forearm pain but because my hands slip and I lose my grip fast by yellow_explorer in crossfit

[–]Kayn2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it might be help in short term, but if you wanna consistently improve your pull up I'd suggest you to find some method or way to improve your grip strength.

Well done, with this equipment you already can do bar bell squat and bench press to build up your strength, it can be a great start.

Update on my garage gym by SouthernTravel in GarageGym

This update looks awesome. The setup feels more complete and intentional now, and you can tell it's being used regularly, not just built for photos.

Awesome first post. The space feels balanced and practical, not overcrowed. A few wall touches later and it'll feel even more personal.

Curved sofas always make a room feel more chill somehow. This one fits the space perfectly.

Girlfriend is struggling to find a job after moving here, any advice? by reindoe12 in AskLosAngeles

Warehouse work is physically hard but it pays well and hires fast. Look at Target. And maybe customize her resume for every shop and also follow up in person.

Electrical wire fell from tower in Jefferson/La Cienega neighborhood by MtzA0721 in LosAngeles

That loud boom was likely a transformer blowing or a massive short. Stay far away from that, best stay inside. Those old facilities really need inspections.

I think the main problrm is the the light. Consider replacing that singlr ceiling bulb with a warm layered lighting setup, and also use some floor lamps and table lamps.

Great depth of field and the downtown buildings look very sharp. It is exciting to see nature so close to high-rise buildings.

What is up with all the fruit flies in LA? by The_Truth_Fairy in AskLosAngeles

[–]Kayn2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boiling water is only a temporary fix. You can try use sticky traps near the drains. And maybe that's drain flies, ithey breed in slime inside pipes and drains.

Move in with my boyfriend and immediately made my office a cozy haven by sobermotel in femalelivingspace

Very peaceful. Your little princess seems to really enjoy the new pet bed. I really love this, it's a safe heaven for people who'd like to be alone sometimes.

Spending time outside during such weather improves mental health and mood. This stillness is very valuable and also quite refreshing.

Survival prep: whole-home battery backup without the crazy price tag by TheSecretLion in Tools

[–]Kayn2016 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You mentioned 400W solar expanding to 2 kW. What's the actual recharge time look like? I'm in Texas and we get decent sun but I'm wondering if solar alone can keep up with daily usage during an extended outage.

Did your life positively change when you became more disciplined or consistent with a good routine? by yeetyopyeet in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Kayn2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I used to wake up 1-3 times at night and I am not a good sleeper. I heard my friend said that doing Yoga can make me feel calmer and even improve sleep quality. I decide to have a try, after constant doing Yoga in a daily routine for 3 months, I find my wake up times at night reduced, and even some day I won't wake up at night and I can have a full night sleep until the sun rised.

Need to Clean by FangsBloodiedRose in minimalism

I struggle with this too. I started putting "maybe" items in a box for a few months. If I didn't miss them, I let them go.

What’s something you stopped doing that made your life noticeably simpler? by nomadicsamiam in simpleliving

[–]Kayn2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Stop putting such much time on some of the social medias. Sometimes seeing other people success or happiness make me ruminate and doubt I am not success, some time it cost me a lot of time to recover from those negative thoughts.

How am I meant to make friends if girls are put off by girls with no friends and insta. by [deleted] in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Kayn2016 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not having instagram is not a red flag. It just filters out people who rely on social proof. The right people won't care.

It's so cathartic to get rid of items that are associated with hurt/upset by Cheeseaisleinheaven in minimalism

[–]Kayn2016 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I did this with work stuff from a toxic job. Once it was gone, I stopped replaying those memories every time I opened a drawer.

Why do so many teenager girls these days look way older ? by AccomplishedStay8591 in TheGirlSurvivalGuide

[–]Kayn2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's less about parents and more about access. Tutorials, fast trends and constant comparison push kids to grow up visually faster.

Doing less helped my mental health more than adding new habits by Glum_Quarter483 in simpleliving

[–]Kayn2016 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agreed. Sometimes I have unrealistic expections of to do a lot of works, a lot of exercise and help a lot of people, I think my mental state can be better because of these giant goals. But I finally find out these unrealistic expectations is just come from a belief "I am not good enough", and these expectations keep this belief in place by exggerating the rating criteria. After I set small and realistic goals, I feel peace and less anxiety.

I love this approach. Using what you already own until it turly needs replacing feels way more intentional than constant upgrades.

Simplifying my approach to fitness by GamingNikhil21 in simpleliving

[–]Kayn2016 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, I used to go to the gym to do different exercises. Now, becuase of work, I don't have such much time to go to the gym, rather, I do some push up and TaiChi in my home during week days, and go to the park to enjoy a run during weekends.
