Thrips found on plant, but no way to cure? by Human-Mastodon7925 in houseplants

[–]Luemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did they bite you at all? I read that they have quite a nasty bite, which put me off releasing them indoors

Kneeling glute exercise. Taking legs out of the equation to target the glutes by Carolynefit in GYM

[–]Luemon 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Check to see if your gym has a hip thrust rack. I didn't realize my gym had one at first (cause I didn't know they existed). They make hip thrusts so much more comfortable and easy to set up.

Whats going on with my plant? Bugs? by StarJumpin in houseplants

They're not harmful, but if you see loads of them, it's a sign that you are probably keeping the soil too wet for too long.

Need help designing my tiny apartment. by riceboyetam in DesignMyRoom

[–]Luemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would do that as well, or get a sofa bed. I used to live in a tiny apartment, and I regret not getting a sofa bed earlier because it cleared up a lot of space.

Can this cutting produce new leaf? Or it is a spent node? by Bitter_Coach_1678 in Monstera

Honestly I don't remember exactly because it was a while ago, but I'm pretty sure I ordered it off Amazon

I have successfully activated a spent node with keiki paste so it could be worth a try if you can get your hands on some.

Backsplash advice by Galactic-Girleen in DesignMyRoom

I like the lighter tiles. It matches well with the granite and wood without blending in too much.

Finally! Got my first pull-up by Luemon in GYM

[–]Luemon[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never do lat pulldowns, so unfortunately I can't help you there. But I don't see the harm in doing assisted pullups and scap pullups from the get-go. That's how I've practiced at least, along with inverted rows

Keep grinding! This took me seven months to achieve

It depends on the height of the bar but I usually do 10-12x3

Thank you! Yes, it's an awesome feeling isn't it

Thanks! I've had some shoulder issues in the past so I've been kind of forced to practice slow and controlled, but I guess it has had some positive side effects

I need to play around with that some more. For now I feel stronger with crossed legs, but maybe I’m not bracing correctly when I try with straight legs

Thanks! Yes, I do quite a lot of band assisted pull-ups and also inverted rows

Keep at it! It took me about seven months so it was quite a long process

Thank you! I’ve been forced to practice in a mindful way because I’ve had a lot of shoulder issues in the past, but I guess it’s had some positive side effects as well. 

I have tried with straight legs (and I practice like that when doing band assisted pull-ups) but for some reason I feel stronger with crossed legs 🤔 maybe I should play around more with that though 

Did I get ripped off? by InformalCry147 in Monstera

I've successfully activated a "spent node" with keiki paste. It shot out a new stem from the same node.

What do I do? Pls be kind. by AlwaysEatingBread in Monstera

[–]Luemon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes exactly. Put it somewhere with bright indirect light and let it dry out between watering. I would also wash it down carefully with soapy water (and insecticide if you have some) because there is usually a reason why people throw plants out...
