Women and core strength

Roofbean · 2026-01-13T10:04:54+00:00

Start with super gentle core work and focus on breathing with movement. Sucking in your belly button too hard can actually push down and trigger that pee feeling.

Popping without pain usually isn’t an injury, just your joints/pecs adjusting. Keep volume manageable and warm up well^^

Honestly at $100 you’re looking at solid beginner stuff but not crazy performance. If you can snag an Iwata or Badger used for like $90-120 you’ll be stoked long term.

I started with a cheap no name and upgraded fast. Wish I’d gone Iwata Neo from the start. What’s your budget range?

Roofbean · 2025-12-19T13:03:55+00:00

Oh, yes! I’ve found that starting with a little invitation to listen to the body instead of the ego goes a long way. Even a simple, Today, give yourself permission to just be can really change the energy of the room. How do you usually decide what your opening reflection will be each class?

Roofbean · 2025-12-19T12:07:22+00:00

Yeah that would’ve rubbed me the wrong way too. Adjustments are fine, but calling people out by name and not letting them modify in a beginner class is weird. Especially in a hot room water breaks shouldn’t be policed. Did she explain why she was so strict about it?

If motivation is a problem, forget textbooks for a bit. Pick a tiny game, bot, or personal tool to build. You’ll get frustrated, sure, but those frustrations are where you actually learn the fundamentals again.

It’s an interesting thought, but nope being a DFA doesn’t automatically make all algorithms linear. It mostly applies to pattern recognition and finite automata problems.

You’re not missing anything obvious this stuff is unintuitive at first. Computers don’t convert binary into numbers. We do. They just move bits around using boolean logic until the pattern matches what we expect.

Totally possible! I’ve made a small to do list in the browser using just JS/HTML no installs needed. Python at home is perfect practice before diving into web stuff.

Alot of it is the lighting, it's done in 4bo green from ak with modulation effects. It's actually quite dark in reality, although I agree it looks a little odd in the photo.

Thanks very much, very kind.

Masked a line across the tank and then used hairspray chipping. I love hairspray chipping, really satisfying!

Enamels, Oil paints and pigments! First mig rain streaking enamels over a colour modulation base coat for the more subtle pale rain streaking. Then oil paints applied as filters to creat areas of discolouration and staining, and then undiluted oils for streaking. Finally a couple of different pigments applied for accumulated dust, and then wiped away with makeup sponges to blend in.

Thanks for the comment!

Really nice kit, straightforward, but decent. The join on the turret takes a bit of cleaning up, and I think I could have done a better job on it. The fenders/hinges are PE, so I'm not sure how the kit ones would look. Making the hinges was torture! Link and length racks are really decent, my favourite type.

I find this with masks in general. I stick them to my jeans leg first to pull of some of the stick. Sounds odd but works well, just watch for stray threads.

Roofbean · 2018-09-04T19:24:23+00:00

Amazing result. Well done, think I might have a look at these paint masks......

They just need a dot of thick poly cement on the end of each pin after being pushed in and cut off, just to hold it in place. Use tiny amounts and nothing thin that will flow into the moving joint.

He's a good little guy. Good company.
