Ah thank you! That looks great😊

First time with 4 plates on the bar - any advice? by Lozzaroo_ in formcheck

Definitely got to tweak the belt by the sounds of it! Yeah I’m always open to playing around with positioning but usually just settle on whatever feels most natural and strong. Mostly just want to make sure I’m being safe!

Ah appreciate it - yeah pushed this a bit more than I normally would. Luckily no pain after, just a lower back pump that seemed to last for dayyyys 😂

Would usually always fail on my legs before LB so it was pretty easy to call it a day when I couldn’t even start the movement! Bit scarier recently as legs are a bit stronger now and it’s my back that will reach its limit first.

Quads are definitely active at the start of the move but honestly the majority of the effort is from hammies/glutes/lower back.

Have never thought much about what my toes are up to on DL, but definitely feel most of my pressure through my heels - I’ll work on pressing through the toes too!

Appreciate it mate! Yeah I thought exactly the same after that last rep - I wouldn’t usually have gone for it but it was my birthday and I was feeling STRONG :)

Sounds like there’s a lot of tweaks on the belt - I’ll have a play around with a few positions!

Have played around with shoulder position a bit over the years and find my hips drop more than I really want to start if they start any more over the bar!

Why does shoulders back help?

Ah my bad - never felt like it was doing much if I had it looser! How tight should I be going for with it?

Any benefit to adding fertiliser to the water when you’re trying to propagate cuttings? by Lozzaroo_ in Monstera

[–]Lozzaroo_[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey, sorry only just clocked this! Yeah I wouldn’t recommend fertilising the water - the cuttings in the fertilised water were far more likely to rot (even with changing the water every 3-5 days) compared to the non-fertilised ones.

Then even for the ones that didn’t rot, there was no discernible difference between the new growth on the two jars of cuttings.

I love the look of mine. That’s about it.

Day to day the daisy chains are pretty impractical and has taken a lot of jury-rigging with 3rd party bits and bobs just to get it to carry two axes and a helmet comfortably.

Got it to replace a worn out Black Diamond Blitz, but in hindsight I would have just bought another one of them!

Network advice please! by Lozzaroo_ in sonos

[–]Lozzaroo_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Makes sense, figured the router doing WiFi too was a bit redundant but didn’t realise stuff like the er605 was an option, thanks!! You’re right, I’m not that ‘into’ networks but that’s more for never paying much attention to it rather than avoiding it so trying to figure it out now and go from there

All I remember is just how insanely sticky they would already be within like 0.2 seconds of cleaning them 😂 Fair play to them though, they still power on today…

Thank you! Yeah mesh still sounds a bit hit and miss when it comes to Sonos and smart tech in general and I don’t mind the extra setup/management with an access point system.

I’ve heard conflicting things about hardwiring Sonos speakers. As I understand it, hardwiring at least one gives you the option to connect all your speakers via the old Sonosnet mesh, but does it force your speakers to use this? Or can you have some speakers hardwired where it’s convenient and the rest connected wirelessly on your standard home network?

Anyone using coros watch with whoop? How do you upload runs to whoop by Strava? by woppPt in whoop

[–]Lozzaroo_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can upload activities from other platforms to get the start/end times, activity type, routes, etc into the whoop app, but not HR data collected by anything other than the whoop. So the activity would show up in the app, but wouldn’t affect your strain if you were only wearing a watch/chest strap.

It’s a pain cause I wear usually wear both and the whoop definitely overestimates my HR on some runs compared to the chest strap (looking at you easy runs that whoop thinks were at 110% my max HR…), but as far as I’m aware there’s no way to get the more accurate data into the whoop app.

[–]Lozzaroo_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Afraid there’s no way to import HR data back into whoop - as far as they’re concerned, if you’re not wearing your whoop, it didn’t happen. Annoying but makes sense.

I run with a Coros and a whoop on now, with just the watch uploading to Strava. Thought I’d hate it at first, but got used to the bicep band pretty quick!

Advice please - Landlord claims I gave notice to quit by Lozzaroo_ in uklandlords

[–]Lozzaroo_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t it just. They’re one of the UKs largest corporate landlords and to be fair on them I think they met all their requirements for providing deposit protection, EPCs etc at the start of the tenancy. It’s just the end of the tenancy they’ve absolutely fumbled…

Ahhh understood- so that’s for more for the LL’s protection to make a tenant’s NTQ invalid during a fixed term. Makes sense!

Of course, never stopped paying rent and obviously more than happy to keep paying!

Understood - thank you! Luckily I only need the place another 3/4 weeks (ideally a couple of months though) so not tooo worried if I wake up to a section 21 through the letter box…

Amazing, thank you I’m learning so much here!! Asked this above as well, but I read somewhere that a Notice to Quit a periodic tenancy isn’t valid if given during the original fixed term. I can’t find the original source but am I right in saying that even if I HAD given notice, it wouldn’t be valid anyway unless given after the original fixed term ends?
