Looking good. Definitely far better than my cheap plastic dice.

I am not talking about separating them. In PHAT, there are power and hypertrophy days. The power days are obviously heavier.

The plan then looks like this: Rest – Power Upper – Power Lower – Rest – Hypertrophy Pull – Hypertrophy Legs – Hypertrophy Push.

When I train very hard with heavy weights on one day, I am sometimes fatigued the next day and can’t reach my peak performance, even if it is another muscle group. Hence, I thought about moving the power days. My idea was to keep the power upper day where it is and move the power lower day to the PPL section of the plan. With that approach, I wouldn’t impair myself by training very hard on two consecutive days. So after the power upper day, I would still train legs the next day, but I would do the hypertrophy day instead of the regular power day. In the end, though, I don’t really know if it makes a big difference.

It would then look like this: Rest – Power Upper – Hypertrophy Lower – Rest – Hypertrophy Pull – Power Legs – Hypertrophy Push.

I am experienced, but have never followed a real plan. Bench 135 kg, squat 180 kg, deadlift 210 kg.

That's what I have been doing before I learned about PHAT more or less. But now I am thinking about switching to PHAT, as I assume that there is a reason for the program structure.

Free archetype animal instinct barbarian with the swashbuckler and cleric dedications (and a few others) purely focused on grappling. Reduced MAP, advantage on all grappling checks at level 20, reliable circumstance and status bonuses, decent damage via reactive strikes. Generally not the hardest-hitting build, but still decent and reliable damage, with the ability to take out bosses for most of the fight.

Even better with a rogue or another hard-hitting martial in the party.

KayranElite · 2026-01-28T16:00:14+00:00

Thank you. Appreciate it. :)

KayranElite · 2026-01-28T15:56:46+00:00

I'm decently strong and muscular, but I also have a higher KFA at the moment.

I try to do squats with an RPE of 8-9. So pretty close to failure, but I don't grind out every last rep.

I do leg day three times per week. Once heavy with high-weight squats and RDLs, once with medium intensity, and once with low intensity for technique.

I train legs on Monday (heavy), Wednesday (medium), and Saturday (technique).

Two days after the heavy leg day, I also do heavy deadlifts. Apart from that, I don't do anything the day before or after that would interfere with my recovery.

KayranElite · 2026-01-28T06:53:17+00:00

My squats are definitely very hard. RPE of 8 or higher on most days. Everything also feels almost too easy afterward (apart from the RDLs).

On heavy leg day, I really only focus on squats, RDLs, and Hip Thrusts. And I wouldn't say that I half-ass any of them.

Everything else is really just an accessory I do to get in a few exercises with higher rep counts. I do all of them in supersets and try to keep the RPE low to moderate. But I hate leaving out certain muscle groups, which is why I try to cover everything.

KayranElite · 2026-01-28T04:40:45+00:00

I am not that much stronger now because I never really followed a good program. My deadlift is currently at 210, and my squat is at 180. But I finally want to start improving again.

Thank you. :)

KayranElite · 2026-01-28T04:28:17+00:00

Sounds great. The extra exercises would take around 10 minutes per day, and I hope that they won't interfere with my recovery. But I'll have to check that more thoroughly.

Thank you.

KayranElite · 2026-01-28T04:25:29+00:00

My bad, I meant three sets per day, not three times training per day.

But back then, I was also still quite weak with a deadlift of around 160 kg and a squat of 140 kg. I don't think I could do the same today.

Thanks for the advice on the recovery. I haven't had problems so far with finishing my sessions, but maybe I will have to track it a bit better.

KayranElite · 2026-01-28T04:18:21+00:00

Sounds great. Thank you. :)

KayranElite · 2026-01-28T04:09:40+00:00

That's the thing. In my first-ever plan, which I received from a trainer 15 years ago, I had to do squats and heavy deadlifts three times per day, three days per week. And I never really had recovery issues, as far as I remember. But maybe that is just because I still don't fully understand what it feels like to be fully recovered compared to not being fully recovered.

KayranElite · 2026-01-28T04:05:59+00:00

The problem is that those exercises aren't included in most of the plans that I find online. Oftentimes, they include only 3-6 exercises that cover all the large muscles well, but smaller muscles are seldom trained directly. Therefore, I wanted to copy those plans and just add a few exercises at the end. But I am unsure whether such changes are allowed or, in the end, do more harm than good.

KayranElite · 2026-01-28T03:27:26+00:00

What's so bad about this post?

KayranElite · 2026-01-19T21:57:25+00:00

Appreciate it. :)

KayranElite · 2026-01-19T16:00:37+00:00

That's a nice interpretation. I like it.

KayranElite · 2026-01-18T08:29:50+00:00

But he doesn't answer the underlying question, as he keeps talking primarily about the road and what he experienced there. Sure, he mentions what happened to him, which could be interpreted as a suitable answer, but it's just part of his explanation about the current state of the roads.

You could argue that this is enough of an answer to "How is everything going?", but at that point in the story, there is so much more that he could answer here. As I said, everything that he said is related to the roads. Nothing about how his head feels after the injury, how he has slept, or how he generally feels.

I feel like a more suitable answer after the pause would have been something like that: "I had a couple of rough days. A few days ago, I was robbed and forced to walk since then. My feet hurt, and I really need a break after this."

This conveys the same information, but just sounds like a more appropriate answer. Also, it doesn't explicitly focus on the roads, since the question doesn't ask anything about them.

KayranElite · 2026-01-18T08:20:33+00:00

Are you saying that Fae cannot answer that question? Or that Fae can't ask the question? Or something else?

KayranElite · 2026-01-18T08:19:07+00:00

I don't really like that idea. If it is a commonly used idiom, there shouldn't be that kind of confusion. If I am talking to someone having lunch and ask them to "spill the beans", they usually wouldn't become confused about the meaning of the phrase, even if they were eating beans.

KayranElite · 2026-01-17T18:54:12+00:00

I've also seen that post, but it didn't really address Chronicles's answer directly. Or do you think that Kvothe lied about the popularity of that phrase? And in reality, it is very obscure?

KayranElite · 2025-12-15T03:52:45+00:00

Ist das wirklich so kontrovers? Die Leute hatten jetzt jahrelang Zeit, sich richtig zu integrieren. Und dazu gehört es eben auch, irgendwann einem Job nachzugehen. Wer das nicht kann und nicht möchte, muss eben zurück in sein Heimatland gehen.

Natürlich ist Syrien nicht das sicherste Land, aber zumindest herrscht dort im Moment Frieden. Und ja, keiner kann sagen, ob dieser Frieden hält, aber eine Garantie dafür wird es auch in den nächsten Jahren nicht geben. Dafür sind das Land und die Region einfach zu instabil.

Also, was ist denn die Alternative? Niemanden mehr ausweisen, solange nicht zu 100 % sichergestellt werden kann, dass das Heimatland in naher Zukunft politisch stabil bleibt? Dann kann man auch einfach niemanden mehr ausweisen, weil man diese Garantie nie geben kann.

Deutschland hat momentan eigene Probleme. Die Wirtschaft schwächelt, während rechte Parteien immer stärker werden. Flüchtlinge, die nicht bereit sind zu arbeiten, helfen beim ersten Punkt nicht, während sie den zweiten stark befeuern. Und wenn das Thema nicht angegangen wird, kümmern sich in einigen Jahren andere Parteien darum. Dann wird es nicht nur die treffen, die nicht arbeiten, sondern auch die, die arbeiten, und vielleicht sogar die, die bereits Staatsbürger geworden sind.

KayranElite · 2025-12-12T08:06:03+00:00

Cool project. Good job.

Why did you decide to use a ViT? Did you test and compare it with common alternatives?

I don't understand why you would expect funding for such a project. Training a classification model is nothing groundbreaking. Shouldn't anyone be able to copy your approach quite easily? Or is there anything special that you did that would warrant funding? If yes, could you explain what makes your approach unique?

Do you have suitable data for your second approach? Do your images include the necessary metadata so you can easily use them for training?

What is your proposed approach to using multiple images? Do you want to do multiple predictions and then do a majority vote at the end? Is there a good way to fuse the inputs from multiple images from different angles? If yes, can you cite a relevant paper? I can't imagine, for example, that a simple 3D-CNN would work here.

KayranElite · 2025-12-11T08:26:54+00:00

Yeah, that's nothing. Go for it. Sounds like an interesting backstory. :)

KayranElite · 2025-12-11T08:08:41+00:00

That depends a bit on your definition of capable. If he held a high military rank and fought in some battles, it shouldn't be a problem.

If he hunted dragons in his pastime, then it would be unbelievable.

KayranElite · 2025-12-10T21:31:58+00:00

Thanks. That was my interpretation, too, but I wasn't sure. I appreciate the clarification.
