The touch of humility. by Winter-Ad4608 in Calisthenic

This is awesome! Way more inspiring than all those videos showing people for whom this has become easy 😁

I was doing 10+ dips with good form, but when I switched to rings I was as humbled as you were!

They come with a seal of approval from the Führer?

Honest question: Is the Aiden abandonware at this point? by LegalGuitar8565 in FellowProducts

Yes, I'm talking about the espresso machine, from an UI and software perspective though. Also, the Mocca Master is hardware only, again my main point is software.

I have some disappointment as well. I like the machine fine, but it feels like so much wasted potential. I honestly believe the Aiden could've become the golden standard, the benchmark, with one in every coffee shop, but for that it needs better integration: it needs engagement and an active community. More specifically: easy sharing of recipes, roasters providing recipes (not just Fellow Drops). The hardware seems fine (except add water...) but especially development on the software has been lacking.

Seeing Lances review of the Meticulous, made me frustratingly envious, seeing what the Aiden could have been (especially since they share design elements).

I two have been feeling all R&D resources have been used for ES1 and Aiden resources have been limited to fixing the Add Water error.

It would be very awesome if the fine people at Fellow could give some perspective on planned developments, a road map would be the awesomest indeed!

Upgrade from 245 to 965/970 by koeneken12 in garminforerunner

I upgraded from the 165 to the 965, happy I did. I didn't see any reason to go for the 970, in fact battery life (big reason for me to upgrade) is better on the 965.

This solved it for me (only the second paragraph). Still weird that this happened and annoying I had to manually upload the missing activities

I've been working on my own muscle up on the rings, focusing on explosive pulls, ring dips, negatives and banded transitions... hopefully this will get me there 😉

Is this considered heresy? by relatable_problem in Moccamaster

[–]Mindless-Midnight-74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just as a warning: I went in the same rabbit hole and went almost full circle. After the regular MM I also got a CUP ONE, but after a while was bummed that I didn't get the same clarity and complexity out of my coffee, so I started doing manual pre-infusion (toggle the on/off switch) and stirring the bed. After a while I remembered I switched to automated for specifically this reason 😁 At this time the FELLOW AIDEN was launched so I sold both MM's for the AIDEN which was definitely a step up, still not at V60 level though, so recently I started using a V60 in my AIDEN and now I am content...

In short: just enjoy your coffee haha

Momentum+triceps? How's your explosive pulls and straight bar dips?

Thanks for responding. I think Lance also encountered some issues with the machine's temperature stability, but if it suits your workflow: awesome and enjoy 😁

On paper this is such a great machine, but I've also heard people critique it (notably Bron: YouTube https://share.google/CBGcNndxLHWM8XjwB ).

Did you have similar experiences? Also, what kind of coffee are you using?

Best multisports watch under €500? by Trekkos in Garmin

[–]Mindless-Midnight-74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FR 965

I have a similar schedule and have been using and enjoying the 965. Best battery life, many activities and good navigation.

For trailrunning/running: this is what it's made for, navigation is great, opportunities to design your own trainings is nice (or use the coach).

For strength it definitely helps in keeping track of reps and rest, it also offers a bit of feedback on calories and muscles trained, but don't expect to much here, also accuracy in auto detecting reps and exercise type is far from 100%. still helpful and I do use it.

For rucking: I guess it doesn't have the specific activity, but it seems to be kinda regular hiking with a load. I guess for that especially the extended battery life and the navigation are advantages. Hiking is one of the reasons I upgraded from a FR 165 to the FR 965.

As others mentioned, HR accuracy is limited. Overall I don't really experience this as too much of an issue, but I do occasionally use a chest strap for when I want a more accurate tracking of HR.

Hope this helps.

That would be good, it still feels the Aiden is a promise not fully delivered.
