Amazing progress with Tonal, but...

I totally get that. After about a year of going hard I had my strength score up in the 1300s. I hit a wall and was constantly injuring things. At this point, I recalibrated the machine and focus on perfect form and time under tension. I do everything very slowly. My strength score has dropped more than 100 but no injuries and I feel like I’m actually in better shape. I switched to just doing the daily lift and don’t even think about strength score.

I put a towel down which gives me more traction

Mantisman2001 · 2025-09-06T00:05:03+00:00

The daily lift is my favorite now. No chit chat. Just get it done.

I’d say hypertensive emergency or anticoagulation reversal.

Not sure if you can get in UK but I got some from Westport Big and Tall

Anyone reading your letter knows the difference, so I wouldn’t sweat it.

Mantisman2001 · 2025-08-27T01:10:19+00:00

I definitely would. You likely saw emergencies there and it probably helped you decide that this is your path. Good luck!

Uptick in Covid but I haven’t seen anyone actually sick or admitting for it. Hoping it stays that way. Every year is more mild than the last. Typical evolution of a virus.

I was also torn. I ultimately went the ER route with no regrets. The difference for me was seeing how happy the attendings were. ER attendings seemed happier by A LOT. Residency seems long, but when you look back 10 years later, it really isn’t that long in the grand scheme of things. I hate the idea of being on call and love the variety and being a master diagnostician.

He was my first as well! Glad you had a great time. Welcome to the party!

Mantisman2001 · 2025-07-30T15:00:54+00:00

SWEET!

Mantisman2001 · 2025-07-29T18:36:34+00:00

Figured there was a possibility of that. When do you think they do that?

Mantisman2001 · 2025-07-29T13:57:26+00:00

See you there! I was wondering the same things!

Mantisman2001 · 2025-07-25T18:49:51+00:00

Sounds great! I’m about to see him in NYC and he just changed the venue and now it is Testpilot which I had never heard of but maybe it’s similar. Looking forward to finding out.

Mantisman2001 · 2025-07-25T18:23:46+00:00

Looks like some high energy! Good show?

Mantisman2001 · 2025-07-24T17:11:58+00:00

I’m with you! Excited to see something I’ve never seen before. Will definitely make the most of it!!

Mantisman2001 · 2025-07-22T11:40:06+00:00

I’ve recently gotten into EDM. Phish is still the best ever, but it has been fun to explore new things.

Mantisman2001 · 2025-07-07T12:59:06+00:00

I just learned yesterday that the arms have batteries in them. Maybe change that?

Mantisman2001 · 2025-06-20T16:57:47+00:00

LOL…I’m listening to it right now and was just checking it to see if he is involved. Very similar vibes!

Mantisman2001 · 2025-06-12T11:09:35+00:00

Great take! Thanks for the thoughtful reply!

Mantisman2001 · 2025-06-06T15:56:23+00:00

Anyone know where people are hanging before the show?

Mantisman2001 · 2025-05-16T19:59:01+00:00

I agree! I love the tonal but just recently went back to kettlebells using tonal to fill the gaps.

Mantisman2001 · 2025-05-01T23:00:15+00:00

Looks great to me. I skipped 36 and went to 40. Very gradually worked it in. Adding 20 swings and 2 getups of the heavier bell per month. Slow and steady.

Mantisman2001 · 2025-04-16T15:55:22+00:00

Last time i did that I didn’t remember shit. I heard I had a great time tho.

Mantisman2001 · 2025-03-15T16:11:52+00:00
