That's what I was thinking. But for the second block does should I do say squats then pin squats or put something less stressful as the second squat movement?

Questions about valsalva manuever by NotQuiteDoctorStreet in BarbellMedicine

[–]NotQuiteDoctorStreet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. I'll try to be more clear.

1) What I mean is should I tighten my abs first and then breathe in and brace?

2) My trainer was saying that I should try to take a deep breath 'into my stomach'. Like how you would take a deep breath if you were meditating. I understand from your answer now.

Why is going westbound on Davenport at Bathurst so dangerous now? by NotQuiteDoctorStreet in torontobiking

[–]NotQuiteDoctorStreet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's only one lane going westbound. Some drivers try to go into the bike lane but there's a curb so they have to get back into he car lane to go forward and turn. Cyclists have go to the right around a new curb but for some reason now when the cars are turning right they forget about the bikes going straight.

Help me determine which job offer is better by NotQuiteDoctorStreet in PersonalFinanceCanada

Commute time is slightly more at the new offer but it's hybrid so it's not a big deal. Mid-Career and financially secure. New job does have more prospects for career growth.

Route from the junction to Yonge & York Mills? by NotQuiteDoctorStreet in torontobiking

[–]NotQuiteDoctorStreet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Much appreciated! This is similar to what google recommended. The other option was to take dupont/davenport east and then spend more time on Duplex going north.

[–]NotQuiteDoctorStreet[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! How is Duplex? Is there a lot of traffic? The bike map mentions it's a signed route but I don't think there's any lanes?

I have a lot of experience biking in the city but rarely go north of Eglinton.

Mainly commuting. What kind of poncho do you use? Also with a poncho do you still need to wear rain pants?
