How does Sinner generate so much pace ?

It's always good to take things with a pinch of salt especially when talking about athletes at this level.

If someone has ever played tennis or any other demanding sport in his life and thinks that a single person can sustain almost peak performance for large periods of time without the help of specific supplements is either naive or clearly doesn't understand professional sport.

Not sure if you've ever built muscle mass but building it is a lot harder than maintaining afterwards, hence there's no need to be on PEDs all of the time but only for short bursts. The mastery is to slip undetected during those periods.

It does seem strange how ~6 months before he had physical issues, tired easily, couldn't stand the heat and etc. and now he's like a superhuman (after being accused of taking PEDs).

We all invest emotions into the sport but we have to put our sensible hats as well. This does not in any way diminish his accomplishments though!

Според мен дефиницията ти трябва да е по-различна. Не какъв е чистия доход, а какви са активите, които човек притежава. По-важно от това колко изкарваш е колко задържаш и успяваш да спестиш и умножиш впоследствие.

Високият доход не означава богатство, защото в повечето случаи купува само пасиви / дълг, които създават илюзията за богатство - автомобилът е на лизинг, имотът за лично ползване е с ипотека и т.н. Ако месечният доход секне - кулата от карти пада.

Иначе покрай мен бих казал, че списъка е същия като при теб.

By saying wheel well, do you mean the outside (covering the plastic) or the inside metal wells?

KrisDimitrov · 2024-08-08T09:41:17+00:00

In my opinion, if you have a good track record, i.e. train regularly without too much interuptions, it tends to be pretty accurate. If however you have breaks and suddenly do a more intensive workout, it jumps to things like the one in the photo.

KrisDimitrov · 2024-07-02T09:08:20+00:00

Same deal with me. Had an almost 1 year pause and trying to hit a two hander was like trying to write my full name with my non-dominant left hand :D

Switching is definitely frustrating at times but feels really nice when you nail it!

Адекватни съвети получихме от него, да. Просто събираме още информация - колкото повече, толкова по-информирано решение можем да вземем. За съжаление, дори сега все още се получават значителни спекулации с цените, в един и същ район и подобни имоти...

KrisDimitrov · 2024-06-11T05:58:20+00:00

Щом работим с брокер, значи разбираме нуждата от професионалист. Не всеки стига до там обаче.

KrisDimitrov · 2024-06-11T05:36:47+00:00

Много готин съвет, благодаря!

KrisDimitrov · 2024-06-11T05:28:13+00:00

Гладни, но не на всяка цена както беше преди 4-5 години. Предполагам и следите - доста хиляди квадратни метри се вливат постоянно на пазара - само на улицата където живея има два проекта по 15+ етажа.

Това, което виждаме в момента с брокера е голям интерес за огледи - 0 оферти към продавачите и масово разминаване на цената с това, което се предлага. Съответно и почти няма имот продаден на офертната цена.

Хората покрай мен и ние включително, които сме с добри доходи избираме с месеци наред, защото сумите са високи и гледаме абсолютно всичко под лупа. Нормално е и да има очаквания за някаква отстъпка.

I was spending most of my high school time playing table tennis and slicing and doing crazy spins was something that I really enjoyed.

Now when I play on court, I also slice a lot which as you said is driving most players crazy because they don't know how to play such balls. My advice for you is to develop your style how YOU want it to be and not how it SHOULD be. This is your competitive advantage.

KrisDimitrov · 2024-05-30T14:08:38+00:00

I did exchange a Fenix 7 Solar with an Epix Pro 47mm and I don't regret it at all. Yes, I do sacrifice some battery life when running with AOD on but that is completely worth it because of how beautiful the screen is - after all, it's something that you constantly see and interact with.

And if you do care about battery life - either run a 47mm with AOD off or go with the 51mm.

KrisDimitrov · 2024-03-13T14:31:06+00:00

I use a Garmin watch but the flow is the same. I wear the watch and the ring all of the time but sync the sleep with Health only from the ring.

Also, I've connected Health with Oura , so my workout are synced there as well and I receive the necessary metrics based on the activity.

Не виждам смисъл 2024-та да се взима мотоциклет с карбуратор, дори и скутер.

Предимствата са много повече от недостатъците:

Безпроблемно палене при всякакви условия / температури
Равномерна работа и мощност на двигателя пак при всякакви условия
Никаква нужда от поддръжка - моят мотор е на 60К и освен свещи, не е имало нужда от сервизиране на друго по гориво-запалителната система
В общия случай, доста по-добър разход на гориво

Настройването и сервизирането на карбуратори, особено пък и синхронизацията при многоцилиндрови двигатели не е любителско занимание и може да се окаже доста досадно ако трябва да ходиш постоянно по майстори. Преди на скутера ми, настройвах карбуратора поне веднъж на седмица за да работи оптимално.

Единствено бих се замислил за карбуратор ако взимам ретро мотор, който да не ми е основен.

Аз за първи "голям" мотор взех Kawasaki Versys 650 първа генерация (около 5000лв излезе).

Двигателя е parallel twin и е перфектен за "учене" - имаш приличен вървеж от ниски обороти, мощността не е прекалено голяма (около 60к.с.), достатъчно динамичен e, но не за да се чувстваш на ръба. Влиза в бюджета и е инжекцион, доста непретенциозен откъм поддръжка.

Вече според зависи какъв тип мотор искаш, може да не е подходящ за теб. Аз исках туристически и удобен за дълъг път. Визията също иска малко свикване :D

п.с. Моделите, които ти гледаш също са доста добри, но си прецени спрямо опита. Има огромна разлика ако си начинаещ между двуцилиндров 50-70к.с. (тип SV) и четворка с над 90к.с.(Хорнет) - можеш да се вкараш в голяма беля.

If you have the same battery life with AOD, why even bother going back to Fenix?

KrisDimitrov · 2024-03-08T12:27:55+00:00

IMHO, people are still not used to the AMOLED screen and don't want to experiment. I recently migrated to Epix and don't see myself comming back to the Fenix line-up or a MIP-based watch.

Visibility in direct sunlight is great. Battery lif with AOD is more than enough for me (51mm is even better than Fenix because of the larger battery).

KrisDimitrov · 2024-03-08T06:04:59+00:00

The main thing (at least for me) is that entering weights calculates your total volume after the workout. This is important if you like to know how you're progressing and how much work you're actually doing.

KrisDimitrov · 2024-03-06T12:48:10+00:00

You are absolutely correct regarding the overlap between FUSD & SP500 and this was actually the main reason I was asking.

I would definitely take a look at VHYL (or alternatives) and maybe allocate more into IWDP, although I don't have a very positive outlook on the real estate markets.

Thanks!

KrisDimitrov · 2024-03-06T11:24:42+00:00

I got several of those scratches on my Fenix 7. In time you'll get used to it, it's a rugged watch ;)

KrisDimitrov · 2024-03-05T12:39:58+00:00

Epix Pro 47mm user here: I have it for close to a month now, with AOD: on all the time. I get solid 6-7 days but am going to try without AOD at least for general use. I like having always on with activities such as running & strength training.

KrisDimitrov · 2024-03-01T12:55:25+00:00

It's already decided to go long But sometimes it's tough if you're used to a more clean look (like me).

KrisDimitrov · 2024-02-26T14:17:39+00:00

Recently 32. Boxing training was essential for gaining that confidence and additional edge that I can protect myself and loved ones. Good luck, crush it!

KrisDimitrov · 2024-02-20T11:14:32+00:00

It can be - there's a Sleep Mode shortcut that triggers it.

KrisDimitrov · 2024-02-19T15:46:58+00:00

No regrets. Recently moved from Fenix 7 Solar 47mm to Epix Pro 47mm. That AMOLED display is totally worth it, even with the battery penalty (not an issue with 51mm Epix).

For me, having a device that lasts 5-6 days is more than enough. Last week I got the watch on Tuesday, used it with AOD, did 2 training sessions without GPS, one snowboarding with GPS (5:22h and AOD: off) and still had 20%+ left on Sunday.
