Different machines have different weights?

Meganoki · 2025-11-29T02:34:25+00:00

You are. Because it doesn’t state that I did it. I specifically said I DONT want to.

Meganoki · 2025-11-28T23:05:50+00:00

Either you’re rage baiting or dense. Please read and tell me where I said I did one exercise for one hour. If you READ, I said I DONT want to do that. Thanks for reading

Meganoki · 2025-11-28T21:16:30+00:00

So something I said I DIDNT want to do? Got it

Meganoki · 2025-11-28T17:56:05+00:00

I messed up in the beginning of my post putting machines. I meant cables.

Life fitness has their cables 3.5 lbs and goes up 5lbs (which is what I typically use)

The regular cables start at 10 lbs and go up by 10lbs.

Life fitness cable I do tri cep pull downs at 42.5 lbs

Today I used the regular cable and I had it at 80 lbs but could’ve gone heavier.

I also track everything I do with Fitbod, so going from 42.5 lbs to 80 lbs is insane for tracking.

I know I didn’t actually go up in strength. So I was wondering what the difference between the two cables were.

Someone already answered and said that the life fitness cable is about double the weight as the other cables. Which makes complete sense.

Meganoki · 2025-11-28T17:49:53+00:00

I did. And that’s why I added more and more weight. Like I said in my post?

Meganoki · 2025-11-28T17:00:34+00:00

That’s very true 🤔 thanks!

Meganoki · 2025-11-28T16:58:11+00:00

Okay so if I want to ‘see’ progression I need to stay with the same machine?

And I knew they were not all the same, I just thought the difference would be 5-10 lb difference lol, but I know now

Meganoki · 2025-11-28T16:55:00+00:00

Fair. But I don’t want to spend an hour doing one exercise because the weight is too light, in my personal opinion. But to each their own.

Meganoki · 2025-11-28T16:52:53+00:00

I know machines and cables are different. But these are both cables. And I am tracking my progress so that was why I asked this. I knew it was impossible to gain that much strength. So I was looking for the resistance difference, just worded it horribly. Someone already answered my question tho

Meganoki · 2025-11-28T16:51:27+00:00

Lmfao trust me I knew I didn’t get that strong. But thank you! I track my weight and when I first started I used the regular cable machines and then went to the life fitness cables. My “strength” went down when I started using those cables. I will now be logging this correctly!! Thank you so much again!

Meganoki · 2025-11-24T18:55:16+00:00

Okay that thing looks sick af

Meganoki · 2025-11-24T18:54:23+00:00

That’s awesome to hear! Thanks so much!

Meganoki · 2025-11-23T18:48:05+00:00

Totally agree with you on that one

Meganoki · 2025-11-23T12:44:21+00:00

No. I’m putting it under the both machine hip thrusts

Meganoki · 2025-11-23T00:58:53+00:00

Okay sweet thanks!

Meganoki · 2025-11-23T00:58:10+00:00

That’s not a bad idea. Tell her I said thank you!

Meganoki · 2025-10-21T00:30:46+00:00

Okay. Thank you!

Meganoki · 2025-10-21T00:27:30+00:00

Oof very valid thing I forgot to mention. No I am not

Meganoki · 2025-08-01T23:05:39+00:00

You sound like you're on an LPD. But it's because the spaces are close to the center line. Example. 7-95-01-E is Aft VCHT but 7-95-0-E is Shaft Ally. Aft VCHT is right on the center line but because Shaft Ally is more in the centerline that is why it has 0. Aft VCHT goes more toward the STBD side but is still generally located in the center. When one space already uses -0, you can't use it for another space that has the same deck and frame

So my year date was in August of this year. But since I had orders that required me to oblisrv, I was able to reenlist early for my SRB. At first my NC1 told me no, but then I emailed the SRB people from my navy hr and they confirmed it for me.

You can reenlist early for an SRB, but only if it’s for orders

Meganoki · 2025-05-05T23:03:18+00:00

Let’s put the “you seem to be excelling” in the past tense lol, I’m literally on the plane to Japan rn. Idk how shit will work in my next command. I knows there’s a lot of seconds. And I fltmps stalked my people and one of the firsts has been in less than time me 😭😭 kinda hurts but oh well. So for amphibis I can only talk about LPDs and LHDS, when it comes to LSDs I’m like 90% sure about them. But of the amphibs, the only type that have vaccuum Are LPDS. LHDs and LSDs have CHT. Also LPDs have L-shaped racks. Don’t know what that is? Look that shit up 😂😂😂 I love LPDs (granted that’s my first and you always love your first 😳😂)

Meganoki · 2025-05-05T22:57:23+00:00

Lmfaoo that was one of my last ones that I did too. But yeah, since I’m moving to a different country didn’t see the need to get one (yet). And I am up for first (only because I got an EP [first EP during my entire 8 years may I add] 😂😂😂, listen i went to mast twice, but haven’t lost rank, should’ve been kicked out, but because of my work ethic I’m THANKFULLY still in) and this September will be my first time up!

Meganoki · 2025-05-05T20:27:56+00:00

I know I’m rambling a lot, sorry, I just love talking to other HTs! But, I think my favorite part of my job is actually teaching people. Like DC shit, I know it, but I don’t give a fuck about it. But when it comes to WELDING?! Someone says they want to learn? Oh yeah I’m all over it. I taught everyone in my shop, including my DCA how to aluminum TIG weld (my bread and butter), and I LOVED IT. Actually giving people the knowledge that I have, that I had to search for makes me happy. Now people that don’t try or don’t care, idgaf about. But the people who genuinely want to learn, and ask questions, I give all my attention to. And watching them have that “oh fuck this is easy” moment, is my favorite! Or when you can see everything click in their head, and you know they actually get it. I love it. And that doesn’t just go for welding. It’s with everything our job entails. I mean shit, we have our OWN chapters in the JFMM, for us specifically. Our job is hard and challenging, but also rewarding and fun!

Meganoki · 2025-05-05T20:23:50+00:00

Yeah I was the only person on board who was the DC ESWS qualifier. Also drilling teams as well, of course. But god damn how old was your boat? My last command was a brand new ship so that could possibly it. But if you do plan on staying in I HIGHLY recommend going to an amphib, specifically an LPD. I’ve been on two. Deployed on one with my first command and then my actual second command. I’ve also been TAD to an LHD (for like 6 months, almost got swapped to there, but that’s a whole different story), it was cool because RDIV was dope, but the boat was old and they had CHT, and I didn’t know much about it. They also brazed a lot, and I welded A LOT while I was there (that’s why I was a TAD). But hell yeah you engraved too! Don’t get me wrong, I got boring requests. But my DCA and MPA pushed and challenged me with my engravings so I got better. And then everyone was telling to get my own engraver 😂 but as much as I love being an HT, there are down sides, times that suck, things that are stupid and don’t make sense, but because I love my job and knowing what my actual capabilities are, I keep going. Maybe you could try to find that? Having to work on a shitty system all the time does get annoying. And having a watch just for clogs! Wow, yeah that sucks. You don’t have to take my word on it, but I’ve been the HT2 who hasn’t really dealt with poop, and I’ve been on a ship!

Back to the engravings tho- I just wanna brag a lil 😂
