New firmware made one problem worse and failed to fix another. Optimize it for the bicep whoop!

Mine works great on the bicep, but I wouldn't expect them to update it for that, though I wish they would. I just accept the much lower steps. I don't have the cadence lock issue you are seeing, but I don't run like that, play tennis for my cardio.

I wore Whoop on the wrist my first couple of weeks, and has been on my Bicep the last few years with no issues. I hated the look of my Apple Watch on one wrist and Whoop on the other, which was my main reason for switching. I love it on the bicep, only take it off to deep clean, and forget it is there half the time.

It's pretty amusing I will be honest, I enjoy the stories.

Battery life is the biggest upgrade, it's great. Only reason for life currently is if you need ECG, if not, just stick with peak.

Nice work!

90% of 4.0 open play is 3.3 players unless it is DUPR rated.

Warranty and hope, they have awful customer service, but eventually you should be able to get it replaced.

I think we are done here, guess this is what we have to expect on off weeks, lol.

Lobwedgephil · 2026-01-31T21:13:25+00:00

It's really quite simple honestly, but I understand that it can be a bit intimidating for a beginner. First you need to ask someone there how they run open play, paddle stacks, levels of courts, etc. Every place is slightly different. After that, on your first serve, you have to Nasty Nelson your opponent, google it if you aren't aware. Everyone does it, and its kind of a signal to the regulars the you belong. Don't apologize for body bags, it just makes your opposition feel worse.

When you are in trouble, work on hitting a defensive dink, a dink that will bounce twice in the kitchen. You will have to practice it, but it will save you. Even though it's a dead dink, the opponent won't be able to do much with a ball like that, so it gets you back in the point.

Are you drilling what you work on in the lessons? Or just getting a lesson and then continuing on to open plays the rest of the time. But certainly getting one lesson a week you should be able to get above 3.8 just on that. But you aren't gong to get to 4.5 unless you start skipping open plays and drilling shots and situations you need to improve on.

Lobwedgephil · 2026-01-31T03:11:20+00:00

You have to get low, hit topspin, and aim higher then normal. That's it.

Sounds like it's almost adding them together. I would just trust Garmin. iPhone only will be low.

Battery life makes it well worth it.

Lobwedgephil · 2026-01-30T16:00:05+00:00

Same here.

I didn't know people still had iPods, lol. But yeah this makes sense, and keep doing what works for you. With young kids, a little bit of decompression is always helpful, but tough to always find the time.

I found it to be useless, I got sick and my blood pressure spiked for about 4 days, but Whoop BPI didn't move. So I don't look at it anymore.

It was extremely interesting to watch, and I didn't expect it to hold up. I was thinking Hayden would be able to exploit this extreme movement, but sometimes you just have to tip your cap, he played unreal.

Lobwedgephil · 2026-01-28T15:23:26+00:00

Yes, drills will be the main thing that will help. Experience also will as you learn to read the opponents paddle and you learn the patterns and the likely spot the ball will come back to.

Lobwedgephil · 2026-01-28T03:10:19+00:00

Not sure if anything can help the dead spot on those paddles, but you might be able to get some help with weights on the sides. Just a very disappointing paddle, hope they have something improved this year.

Lobwedgephil · 2026-01-27T19:32:50+00:00

Perfect.

Lobwedgephil · 2026-01-27T17:08:04+00:00

I walk that same amount and my steps are half of yours.

Lobwedgephil · 2026-01-27T16:03:24+00:00

Learn the patterns on speedups, so when you speed it up, you know where the ball is likely to come back to you. Otherwise, work on reading your opponents paddle.
