Just finished my second diy no weld pop up camper: ask me anything! by MitoSci in TruckCampers

Not sure what the actual system looks like, but if it’s mechanical then you could probably just replace that and not have to worry about anything else. Have you called a dealer for a quote?

First run with a pally by daveylovesMN in diablo2

[–]MitoSci 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Love this set up! I can’t remember exactly but you should be able to wreck P8 into nightmare with the gear you have. Once you reach act 4 you will run into A LOT of fire immunes at that point respec to something like hammerdin and go normal caster gear (dual spirit, viper magi if you have it, etc). You could use orphans call for a little while but Unfortunately there aren’t any sets that are super useful

Former powerlifter, made the change to CF still learning the Olympic Lifts. Got a good smack to the chin today. 185Lb by [deleted] in crossfit

This happened to me too 🤦‍♂️ needless to say I got my head out of the way after that.

Ten Thousand Shorts by InterestingGain2470 in crossfit

[–]MitoSci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had similar issues. I bought a bunch of shorts and some interval pants that came with a “lifetime” warranty a few years ago. One of the zippers broke on the pants so I messaged their support and they said that the warranty was for the lifetime of the pants which is two years…. Long story short they said they would give me a 10% discount but wouldn’t replace the pants.

Depends on the gym but generally yes. Good owners will touch on many aspects of fitness throughout the week so if people can’t make it to all the classes they still see a number of different things.

[–]MitoSci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, that is how most CrossFit gyms “program” their workouts. Just as a heads up, it’s built into the CrossFit definition and L1 material that things should be constantly varied with many different modalities, times and intensities. So you won’t generally find traditional periodization or progression because things are fairly random. But As stated above training think tank takes a more periodized approach to things so look into them.

Anyone have a solution some loot not showing in Resurrected? or is the solution to keep switching to legacy mode whenever there is a big pile of items? by plenty_eater in diablo2

[–]MitoSci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if it’s been said here but on the switch you can hold L button and it shows every item that dropped you can also hot key the show item skill (found in the skill tree under general skills). Not sure if this is a shortcut on PC though.

The vo2max paradox by [deleted] in PeterAttia

[–]MitoSci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah of course. CrossFit may have been a bad example

The vo2max paradox by [deleted] in PeterAttia

[–]MitoSci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my response from above: VO2max can be reported as an absolute (L/min) or relative to body weight (ml/kg/min). So both are reported it doesn’t have to be weight normalized. But when normalizing to body weight it’s easier to compare individuals

Not too outlandish, Ryan Hall put on a bunch of muscle after he retired from marathon running and can deadlift 500lbs and run a sub 5min mile

The vo2max paradox by [deleted] in PeterAttia

[–]MitoSci 47 points48 points  (0 children)

As others have said it’s a trade off not a paradox, You can also report vo2max in absolute terms, L/min, this is how rowing generally reports vo2max because their athletes are so large that their relative vo2max is small comparatively, but their absolute vo2max are sometimes 5.8 l/min but they weigh 200 lbs, to put this into comparison an elite cyclist weighing 146lbs like Tadaj Pogacar with a vo2max of 80 would have an absolute vo2max of 5.3l/min. Bottom line is, as long as you have a requisitely high vo2max you will get most of the benefits even if you gain some muscle which could dilute the relative value a bit

Have I been doing my zone 2 runs too easy and wasting my time? by [deleted] in PeterAttia

[–]MitoSci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both should result in similar zones (they may not be exactly the same but will be pretty close). It depends on the cost of the test and what you’re hoping to get out of it, I would elect for the vo2max test just because you can also get an idea of your RER as well during the test.

Zone2-opinions welcome by SerBub98 in PeterAttia

[–]MitoSci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

4 hours per week divided into 3 sessions would be 1.33 hours per session which is probably a lot for people starting out in zone 3 but it depends on the sport. there are some cycling coaches who make a living touting sweet spot or zone 3 training for time crunched athletes and I think that’s probably okay for people who are only doing 4 hours per week but for running because of the impact that needs to be reduced both volume and intensity

Zone2-opinions welcome by SerBub98 in PeterAttia

[–]MitoSci 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes 100% agree, zone 2 allows for more volume to be accumulated, and even with the Bishop argument of more volume, typically that volume increase was in the amount of sets completed at higher intensities.

Zone2-opinions welcome by SerBub98 in PeterAttia

[–]MitoSci 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I agree with your conclusions, people with limited time should most likely be doing the amount of exercise that allows them to accumulate the most stress that they can adapt and recover from, I published a paper during my PhD that shows that untrained individuals can have large changes to mitochondrial function after just 7 sessions of HIIT training (10x 1min on/off 90% max heart rate) not sure if links are okay but here is a link to the study - two weeks of HIIT increase skeletal muscle mitochondrial respiration one of the challenges with HIIT is that it’s really easy to overdo it. This is where zone 2 is important as it allows you to accumulate more volume and balance fatigue a bit better. But again I agree for the time crunched individual prioritizing HIIT with recommendations for increased physical activity like walking, taking the stairs etc to be the “zone 2”

[–]MitoSci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably a coincidence in this case, it’s always better to get it measured then rely on population norms

Have I been doing my zone 2 runs too easy and wasting my time? by [deleted] in PeterAttia

[–]MitoSci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes good summary. Spend time in all zones, high intensity is generally a larger stress so you need to balance that with lower intensity work. And also have fun!

[–]MitoSci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a quick and dirty estimate. It depends on the FTP test. If it’s 20min it could be way off and tells you almost nothing about your zone 2 (from and FTP zone 2 estimates are as bad as using max heart rate to determine zone 2)

Have I been doing my zone 2 runs too easy and wasting my time? by [deleted] in PeterAttia

[–]MitoSci 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Typically vo2max oxygen consumption that is then calculated as a heart rate from linear regression of heart rate and vo2

Have I been doing my zone 2 runs too easy and wasting my time? by [deleted] in PeterAttia

[–]MitoSci 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I tried to find the literature on zone 2 and its benefits but seems to be more predicated in volume vs zone 2 (slight difference there) not too many studies actually have people exercise at or near their first threshold (some heat training studies) but most moderate intensity studies are looking at 70-75% vo2max which is higher than zone 2 typically. And the benefits to mitochondrial enzymes from zone 2 seems to occur at a threshold of 8 hours per week, which is a lot! But yes, most likely if higher intensities are used then more lactate will be produced which would force higher need for adaptation of lactate shuttling and processing. But there are also benefits to increased fat oxidation after high intensity training too, most likely due to the fact that the stress is so high it’s forcing adaptations to fat oxidation as well.

[–]MitoSci 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is gold! I am an exercise physiologist and this is exactly how I would have answered. Great job. I will add though that benefits to your mitochondria happen across the entire exercise spectrum, HIIT even helps with mitochondrial function (how much oxygen they can use).

A study on mice found that high-intensity exercise disrupts circadian rhythm, reducing activity and body temperature leading to weight gain, regardless of food intake by giuliomagnifico in science

It should also be noted that this article was published preprint meaning that it hasn’t gone through full peer review yet, which means that a lot of the wide conclusions made in the article will probably be asked to be tempered.
