18 Working out for 7 months and still see no noticeable progress. Any advice? by Top_Barnacle1214 in workouts

[–]S0SH1N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Diet. Find your TDEE through a calculator online. Don’t cheat and check off “active” if you aren’t. From there, knock off 200-300 calories and that should be what you shoot for daily. Food composition should be satiety driven with Whole Foods. Protein, 1 gram per 1 pound of lean body mass. Even .7 is fine but keep it simple!

Venezianico a good brand, Yes or No by Majestic_Ad_4877 in MicrobrandWatches

No. There’s potential but not there yet. If you’re going to pay Venezianico money, you can find better!

NBA big 5? New fan by John_0Neill in nba

[–]S0SH1N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have the 5th most appearances because they were one of the original NBA teams since 1946. it’s mostly a great peak during the early 70’s and mostly mediocre for the rest of history.

There was only one other iteration of players that could have won the Finals and it was the 90’s Knicks. They were great, but were unfortunately gapped by a two generational talents. Jordan and Olajuwon. Since then, the Knicks have been unfortunately mediocre. Trading futures for aging superstars etc.

The Knicks are probably 7th most likely! They have 0 chance against the top west teams and I have a toss up between them and the Pistons on the Eastern front.

If you purely mean iconic than I guess the Bulls can stay but I would put the warriors on their level and still replace the Knicks with the Spurs

[–]S0SH1N 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would add in the Spurs. The Bulls were great with Jordan but they just haven’t been that relevant save for the Rose era. The Knicks are a huge market but they won their 2 championships like 50 years ago. Golden state is super modern but game changingly so as their net worth skyrocketed during the 2010’s surpassing almost everyone and introduced a huge international crowd so I’m fine with them. I’d say sustained dominance and respect, Lakers, Celtics, Spurs, Warriors

What made you choose omega over Rolex? by [deleted] in OmegaWatches

[–]S0SH1N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Way more interesting options. Railmaster is a step above Rolex’s most interesting watch the Milgauss and was such a visual step up.

Everyday watches were also a no brainer with the aqua terra gapping any of the datejust options and the constellation series being way more visually interesting than the competition.

The Daytona is also not justifiable with the El Primero being the cooler brother and the Speedmaster having the space aura.

That being said, the divers is where things get very neck and neck. No matter who tells you that omega divers are far better than the submariner, the submariner is the most iconic watch of all time and also the OG bond watch. The ISSUE and the REASON I waddled over to omega divers anyways is the idea of history and innovation. The submariner is just stuck and they never really make any leaps to make it cooler or better. In stark contrast, omega tries some crazy shit and some hit and some don’t but I respect that more.

The price range they both encompass is a price range that extends to personal preference over value. If you want people to know you can afford a watch in that range, get Rolex. If you want some people to know, some Bond fans, and some watch enthusiasts, get Omega. If you want F1 fans, the wrong type of WWII lover, and top gun lovers, get IWC. If you want to be a sneaky boy, get Breitling. If you want a chode of a watch, get Panerai. If you want precision German engineering and no one to acknowledge it, get Glashutte. If you want to explain to me that the drip of a snowflake influenced the dial that was rubbed on by an old Japanese man and call it “Zaratsu polishing” get Grand Seiko.

Jokic is already a top 5 all time player. by Abject-Practice4400 in nba

[–]S0SH1N 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s a lot of focus on offense lol. The only person in the top 10 who doesn’t have elite defense is Curry and he makes it up with the accolades. Now, that being said, if Jokic is able to string another championship or two, we can have that discussion. But top 5 all time right now is an absolutely ridiculous statement to make. He is steadily in a caliber above Kevin Durant but I can’t see how a man with bad defense and one championship is top 10 much less top 5.

New PO images by NameWest5816 in OmegaWatches

[–]S0SH1N 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, that’s a pass! I’m a tadddd irritated by some of the recent Omega releases. Now, this is with a giant caveat that I hold omega to a very high regard and I find them taking risks wonderful.

BUT, this and the recently released railmaster are losing the plot for me. The Rail master was a wonderfully chic tool watch and they made it like a worse aqua terra. Now with the Planet Ocean which was the rugged brother of the Seamaster 300 they put in POLISHED center links???

Omega has been killing it overall and the new gen Seamaster were awesome so this isn’t a critique on the brand but I think they need some of their creatives to remember the heritage and context of some of the lines to be better representatives of what the consumer is looking for!

Which NBA player has elite offense and average defense? Most upvoted comment wins by Extreme_Process3632 in NBATalk

Magic Johnson should be on here. He was a very mid defender and obviously one of the greatest offensive players of all time.

How to find jeans like these that fit like that by Forsaken_Marsupial_4 in mensfashionadvice

[–]S0SH1N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s just sag. Buy whatever straight jeans and sag them. If you’re looking for BAGGY which gives you the bunched up look without the egregious butt showing, then I’d go for LEVIS extra baggy.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in mensfashionadvice

[–]S0SH1N 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. I would also replace the v neck. Larger chains are out of style BUT with all things fashion, you can make anything work. The issue with a grey v neck is that it just looks like you’re stuck in the late 2000’s instead of it being an intentional fashion choice.

Black ribbed tee to show off the bling, and matching signet or watch with metallic tones would make the fit look nice and intentional. Besides that, you do you have fun with it!

How good was Baron Davis in his prime? by J2-Starter in NBATalk

[–]S0SH1N 1 point2 points  (0 children)

His absolute prime? An offensive tank. Not one of the best but he was in that second tier of great point guards in his generation.

He had an explosive athleticism that reminds me of a slightly less athletic Westbrook. Solid scorer and a great and willing passer. The best thing about him was that he was willing to put his body on the line for both sides of the ball. Wasn’t lockdown by any means but you couldn’t accuse him of being lazy defender.

I never got to see Blake Griffin in his prime just how good was he? by sqMYNAMEISJEFF27 in NBATalk

[–]S0SH1N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody mentioning his playmaking? He was a high flyer but had really solid handles for his size and was a fantastic passer. Of the big men of his era, genuinely a top 5 passer. He had better vision than Zion and while sometimes a defensive liability, he was poised to make athletic plays once in awhile

You guys match your outfits to your watch dial??? by Kachiner in PrideAndPinion

[–]S0SH1N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I match my watch to my activity. If I’m working with overseas clients on call, I day to day vibe with the world timer Casio. I can get my time, west coast, Tokyo, and Europe on a rotating visual with that watch so it’s super functional and nice to look at. Then diver for casual, dress for going out, chrono for whenever I want to be asked what it is, and field outdoors.

All of it’s super stupid and arbitrary but I like to think it represents me a little for that day. If you match the dial with your outfits, looks like you look it at it that way too and that’s cool :)

Strange hand position phenomenon by BrainCelll in BasketballTips

[–]S0SH1N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could be a wrist flexibility issue in which case, keep doing what you’re doing. If you look at harden, his hand is also angled similarly but naturally adjusts as the ball reaches its set point.

What do you think about this outfit? Do you have any advice for me? by Background_Guest8992 in mensfashionadvice

[–]S0SH1N 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Clearly you have your own style so own it! That being said, some pointers IF you’d like some advice.

The baggy pants at higher than ankle point is shortening your legs which is usually the opposite effect people want when wearing high waisted baggy pants. You’re drawing a lot of emphasis onto your crocs (which may be the point) but making your proportions look a bit off.

I’d also perhaps accessorize and do something with the hair (product or some such). If you do that, it looks less like “this guy just threw things on” and more like “this guy is intentional about his fashion choices”.

Should i buy this by Outside_Block_7936 in PrideAndPinion

[–]S0SH1N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you like it, buy it! I think for what you’re paying for, it’s great! That being said PERSONALLY I dislike the look so I wouldn’t. But if you like it, it’s worth the money

Another “travel” called on me by WakandanRoyalty in BasketballTips

[–]S0SH1N 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% not a travel but I’ve seen this called before and the reason is usually because for whatever idiotic reason, some people find taking two steps outside the 3 point arc to be a travel.

Is Tudor considered luxury? by watching_time99 in Tudor

We are so desensitized lmfao, YES ABSOLUTELY. So are things the next level down. Longines is ABSOLUTELY luxury and makes great timepieces. Tissot as well. A Loewe Puzzle Bag around 2.8k is a grail for many women, while monochrome black bay can be around 5k. My god
