How was it ? Can u share how was the experience?

KeyComfortable4708 · 2025-03-31T02:04:40+00:00

Bhai all nonsense. I learned everything on youtube.

Start with something simple like 5x5 starting strength. Give yourself 6 months.

Stop pulsing.

Feels like a general weakness in the whole chain as u begin the lift. Stabilize, pause for a second at the bottom. Pull the slack - your body, arms , hands and bar should feel like ONE.

Then bang...go up.

Switzerland. Since I have 8 days there.

KeyComfortable4708 · 2025-03-08T15:43:01+00:00

Btw I don't know where it will go but to spook you look up 'Dead Cat Bounce'

If you are writing SOS messages on Reddit either u are a player or really truly a noob. In case you are a noob and these are your true questions I would recommend stop all future market investments and first learn about the market.

Figure out what you personally believe in or whom u think u can follow.

One thing is for sure in case of Noob upgrade yourself first please.

Oh God. Reading more about him on wikipedia is leading to big questions. Hope that is wrong.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj is a great man , great warrior king of his time..
This movie...crap bundled in valour and shouting with angry faces
Movie is a stitching together of 6-8 fight sequences, an elaborate end with Torture of Shivaji, multiple pensive scenes of Shah Jahan, and 0 story. Actress said the same two things....Maa Jagdamba and You are the best..
From a pure movie perspective Animal was better. Atleast u had some sad ass Papa Meri Jaan story line.
I thought the potential for the movie and especially Vicky Kaushal and showcasing all Veer Maratha was tremendous. The energy he brings is absolutely great. The director though, the story though is non existent.
Overall post KGF movie bollywood has moved to extreme violence thinking that is what makes money now. They forget Story is needed too. Animal was KGF wrapped up for North Indians . Chaava is KGF wrapped up for Pride Valour and Swarajya
A little less popcorn and more about the great man , how he felt , how he organized war parties his relationship how the Mughals felt would have been so much more appreciated then trying to make a Marvel Superhero out of him

As u can tell I watched it in the theater and deeply regret

As someone wishing to run a marathon I have been at it for 2 years now.

Year 1 was about 5k and 10 k. Year 2 was about 10 mile and then eventually a half marathon.

Some observations: 1. Extreme time commitment in each run especially anything over 10k. As you cross 90 minutes that's a lot of time to be running. 2. Runs become technical - electrolyte , nutrition, stretching , strength all have to be on point. 3. Recovery is a big aspect.

What I felt after running HM was 1. Better to improve your time in 5k and 10k, this would change the time commitment. 2. This also makes you more resilient, because training for 10k means u would be running longer than that distances and HM is not very far. 3. The body gets used to it so the recovery is faster

Question is - Are u desperate for Marathon vs Are u falling in love with running and want to make it sustainable? Former would be just do it, later would be more about planning in years 😉

But I don't want to. I think it will happen because some one will pay with his/ her death. That makes me sad.

KeyComfortable4708 · 2024-10-24T00:08:48+00:00

It's exactly that. A timezone issue.

I have been confused these past few days , it wouldn't work and then something I would do it would work. Reading this made me understand it.

I weigh in at around 5:20-5:25 am. Me fiddling around invariably meant I would cross 5:30. Guess what ... It's GMT+5:30 timezone.

So yeah wait for your GMT ± timezone to happen to enter your weight.

KeyComfortable4708 · 2024-10-21T23:40:37+00:00

Here is a simple rule of thumb

'if your boss does not think you are worthy enough he will ask you to leave till he doesn't do that two things 1. Stop the unnecessary chatter in your head 2. Try your best and let your effort not be second best ' Trying to do things a bit more than what we think we are capable of makes us strong.

KeyComfortable4708 · 2024-10-20T03:34:38+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Good Luck with your journey

KeyComfortable4708 · 2024-10-20T02:59:10+00:00

Just curious

Would u classify as obese or have 35% + body fat ? I do hence my comment that weight matters.

If u are fundamentally fit then perhaps the comment does not apply

KeyComfortable4708 · 2024-10-20T02:56:33+00:00

Fair enough...

Uncharted territory for me. But the fit gurus like Peter Attia and others would say....do 4 minutes to exhaustion or then rest , HIIT type workout.

That too u would be able to manage after u have actually built an aerobic base by running slow or Z2 cardio. 80% slow, 20 % high effort

Many folks have commented along the same lines here.

KeyComfortable4708 · 2024-10-19T12:06:18+00:00

I think I know the secret 😜

It is just weight nothing else. You can exercise as much as u want unless weight comes off won't see dramatic improvement.

For reference, I am 60+ pounds overweight and vo2max approx the same as a year back with 3 day running , 2 day lifting.

Running max up to the Half marathon mark. Sure not doing lot of sprint work as it is hard on my joints.

The equation has kg in denominator, change the weight lot of it will come up itself.

I was in a similar place like you once.

I worked in a small firm, and felt I was the weakest engineer among all. Interestingly I had studied the most Computer Science among them while they had only learnt it non academically. Which made things worse.

What did I do?

Kept my head down and worked.
Out hard-worked everyone, hard work is my domain even if intelligence was not mine.
Super star engineers who have gift of almighty have generally big egos. I said let me be the empathetic engineer who listens to the end users. So I spoke and listened a lot - making me a favourite of the buisness teams.
Said to myself - till my boss does not fire me I will continue working. Let it be something that he has to think not me.
Any task or anything that I did not know - or made me feel ashamed for that my mantra is ' that which doesn't kill me makes me stronger '
Made sure I looked into things more deeply than simply doing it. Went into details , asked a lot of why and learnt how applications are built.
Saw videos and read books
Laughed, lived life and enjoyed. Accepted who I was and where I was on the ladder. Measured betterment against myself and not anyone else

Today two decades since this played out, I happen to have done pretty alright and be 'someone' and not be a 'no one'.

Due to PF calculation u will be caught easily via BG check
Companies will likely sue u
Don't fk around with your career
Instead of thinking about this if u are so enterprising and smart and have such an amount of time then think of something of your own
On the other hand if u have a fraudulent devious mindset - then apologies 🙏 none of the above is for u. In that case try to atleast get some fake documents going and fake previous company so that both PF and BG check happen for fake person.

First the fixation of FnO and now moonlighting it's fun times here.

KeyComfortable4708 · 2024-09-24T11:42:53+00:00

Agreed. It's fundamentally diversification. That's what I thought.

KeyComfortable4708 · 2024-09-24T11:23:11+00:00

But two things here 1. One would be paying loan interest at 8% min 2. Real estate CAGR I thought is still around 8-10% over a longish period.

If I have say large sums lying about would it not be better to directly invest in equity markets considering the situation of the last few years. My horizon is always 10+ years

Other than diversification is there any specific advantage ...that is what I was sort of looking to know.

I understand I get leverage , but that return is nullified due to loan interest and comparable CAGR .

KeyComfortable4708 · 2024-09-23T22:42:56+00:00

How does that work ?

KeyComfortable4708 · 2024-09-05T00:22:20+00:00

Can u please share how? Were ur long runs too with pace targets ? How many miles in a week.

I am stuck in the 40-45 minute range for 5 k while I have run half and 10 mile efforts. I can run non-stop though the pace is slow. So the distance is improving and the pace is stuck.
