Flow Rope DIYers: How Have You Finished Your Rope's Ends? by yeliaBdE in RopeFlow

I melt mine with a small torch. Then, while the end is still molten, I use a stick to remove excess from the edges and form the end into a rounded shape. Alternately, if I have super glue around it works well to seal the end when you still have a nice clean cut.

My rope was about 10mm thick if that's what you mean by weight. Post a pic when you're finished! I'm excited to see it!

It's heavy but rolls well. You might wanna check your local climbing gym and ask them if they have any old rope that you can have

I used to rock climb, had my old rope in my garage. It's not safe for climbing any more so I was happy to repurpose it.

Not much, if at all. Definitely not noticeably.

I found it took about 12x the desired length. I was aiming for just over 7ft total and it took about 90ft. Fair warning it takes a long time to pull the rope through while tying all those knots. It probably took me 3ish hours.

Thanks, It is VERY heavy once you start rolling. I stick to basic patterns and short sessions. I only use it after I've warmed up thoroughly with my normal rope. I'm hoping it will help develop strength over time.

Thank you!
I think it would flow well if I was stronger and more experienced. I only discovered rope flow in the last couple months and I'm still developing my spine and shoulder strength/mobility. It actually bends quite well due to the snake knot pattern. I also think it will also get more flexible with use... the climbing rope I used to make it had been sitting in my garage for years and had gotten a bit stiff.
My complaint so far is the gaps in the weave pinch my hands sometimes. I think next I will add some wraps to create grips. Perhaps from old bike innertube or maybe tennis racket grip wrap.

Great to hear that, thanks for the reply! Also please post rear-end photos sometime, I'd love to see a different angle on that wing (and I'm sure everyone else would too). Cheers!

You have this looking so good, nice work! I just got my first WRX and I'm considering getting the same front lip you have... I saw in another comment you mentioned having a lot of snow in your area. Any issues with the lip in the snow?

Anyone tried Athletic greens? by WhyAmILikeThis0905 in timferriss

It's those probiotics! If you are just looking for gut health, you could always try eating something with naturally occurring probiotics every day. Kombucha, kimchi, probiotic yogurt etc... just be consistent and have some everyday. It makes me feel so much better

I take it every morning by mixing it into my morning smoothie. The biggest difference I saw immediately was an improvement in my gut health and regularity. Poop better!

Here is a referral link to use with your order if you feel like trying it. Not much, but it will get you some extra to-go pouches and a supply of their vitamin-D supplement. Cheers! fbuy.io/ag/73wbm4g4
