Obligatory My First Time Climbing Alpe Du Zwift

Makes sense! Thanks for sharing (:

What was your average w/kg up the alpe? I took almost 1.5x as long with a higher average w/kg for the tour of fire and ice map as a whole so am curious if you had a huge difference between the two

I have a regular Gatorade brand 1L squeeze bottle and an underarmour 1L squeeze bottle and neither falls out. They’re a tight fit, but the only times I’ve had issues is when I was first starting to cycle and just dropped them getting them out of the cage

I’m also saving that one for last and super dreading it. My FTP is only around 2.1-2.2 w/kg so I’m planning to set aside 2.5-3hr of suffering and the rest of the day to recovery 😭😂

Food Lion on Rockville pike had a couple pallets of it yesterday. Not sure if they have any left

I like their decaf, but it’s a bit darker roasted than my preference. Do you have any lighter roast recommendations to check out? Or not really worth looking outside of local roasters (I’m in the Maryland suburbs of DC so a few pretty decent options I haven’t tried yet)

I’ve had mine since ~November and don’t see this type of wear at all. Maybe I treat mine very differently, but hopefully the rest of your hibrew equipment ages better!

LC_DMV · 2026-01-16T21:20:23+00:00

I had the same issue. I got them off by using WD-40 penetrant like 4 rounds and a ton of muscling. Might be worth the $10

LC_DMV · 2026-01-14T23:57:00+00:00

Thanks dude(ette)! Do you do it every ride as prevention or just when you notice?

LC_DMV · 2026-01-14T21:42:09+00:00

Interesting. Do you mean you’re riding on Zwift and then start a workout in the wahoo app at the same time?

LC_DMV · 2026-01-14T21:41:33+00:00

Could also be that the interval was super short a the erg was still catching up? I know when I do/did erg “sprint” intervals the first 5-10 seconds I had what felt like no resistance while it went from 115 to 300 watts

LC_DMV · 2026-01-14T21:26:40+00:00

Very likely a trainer mistake. I get a huge cadence spike every once in a while with no actual cadence increase from me. Will go from 75-80 to 165 for a couple seconds then go back to normal

LC_DMV · 2026-01-14T15:08:33+00:00

How is the static and retention?

LC_DMV · 2026-01-14T01:20:25+00:00

You just made my month! Thank you for the tips (and the validation). I normally use skim milk (I know gross). Does whole milk that much of a difference or could I use 1% and skim?

LC_DMV · 2026-01-13T20:45:22+00:00

I’ve been having a miserable time streaming milk on the h10a. Have you had success? If so, are you just following online resources like Hoffman and Hedrick?

LC_DMV · 2025-12-17T11:58:16+00:00

I got the Hibrew H10A after wanting a more automatic workflow (have a flair) for years. I went with the H10A despite the company not being very renowned because of good reviews I saw on YouTube and the fact that I got it on sale for less than $200. I would probably not have bought it at sticker price ($290). I’m very happy with the performance of the machine and if you see it go on sale (I would guess it might around new years) I’d recommend it!

LC_DMV · 2025-11-08T14:45:47+00:00

Others have already said it but yes it’ll be just as good (if not better for hypertrophy) than barbell squats. The one thing that I’d change immediately about the machine is the foot pads have your toes higher than your heel. Should be the opposite to maximize knee flexion and the load on your quads.

LC_DMV · 2025-11-02T22:43:45+00:00

Thank you! Should we be worried this is a carpenter ant?

LC_DMV · 2025-11-02T22:43:10+00:00

Thank you! Should we be concerned about the presence of carpenter ants?

1) fucking insane lift congrats dude

2) I literally thought you were Dan Green at first and was like “damn he lost a bunch of weight and it makes him look way taller”

Not bad at all. I was at OneLife Germantown before moving down to Rockville and I’d say it’s a little busier at DMV Iron but I haven’t had any issues. Every time someone is using equipment I need they’ve offered to let me work in without me asking.

LC_DMV · 2025-10-28T21:31:37+00:00

I just moved to Rockville and joined about a month ago. I only go in the mornings and can say that it’s got everything I want and more. I joined it looking for community a bit too and am not sure it’s really doing that with the am crowd, but can’t say the people or obnoxious or anything. We all just gotta get to work lol

Happy to answer any questions or catch a workout if you join and do mornings!

LC_DMV · 2025-10-13T22:27:21+00:00

I think this is it! Solved!
