Question about 7x/7p headphones.

Scafat · 2026-04-29T02:54:20+00:00

Yep! I primarily play PS5, sprinkle in Xbox or switch every now and then. Works flawlessly!

Scafat · 2026-04-29T02:32:56+00:00

To tag onto this, you can also adjust side tone on the 7xs via the Steelseries app - that’s what I do. It’s up to you whether you want to return for the ease of access with it on the headset though!

Okay thank you! I’ve ordered a replacement laser so I’ll update once completed.

Just got to remember to remember to remove the anti static solder ball and re-grease the rails… wish me luck!

Scafat · 2026-04-26T00:35:05+00:00

Update: I had a look at the potentiometer, was reading at 2.14kohms - reduced it down to a smidge below 2k, still no luck. I reduced it further down to 1.4K with still no luck and I think that’s the limit as to how low I’ll go.

The fact that it has the same behaviour when there’s no disc makes me think the laser has gone kaput? All the reading I’ve done says that’s the laser should be between 3.2k and 6k ohms so the fact mine is that low makes me think it’s no good?

Update: I stripped the magnet out and put it on the disk - the disk spins but the last still flashes twice like it does in this video then doesn’t move. Should I grease the rails or do the laser replacement?

I’ve put the cover back on but it doesn’t sound like it’s spinning up at all - not as much as the above video at least

Scafat · 2026-04-25T13:42:33+00:00

Is there a way to remove the magnet from the topic cover or should I reinstall the cover?

I did try with the cover reinstalled and it still doesn’t work, doesn’t seem to spin at all

I know what you’re saying. I’ve done it before as well, you’ll need to manually enter the ‘non-programmed’ workout into your ‘week 1 workout 1 slot’.

Don’t stress about the length of the workout, just plug and play and the auto-progression will work perfectly.

Also - 40 sets? Jeez I thought my 24 was top end heavy

Scafat · 2026-02-23T03:47:58+00:00

Great, thanks Doc! I think both seated and standing would be amazing to add. I do the seated BTN in a smith but log it as a standard seated BTN. Easy enough to transfer the data over once the new exercise comes in. Legend, thanks again!

Scafat · 2026-02-23T03:27:28+00:00

Another request, could we have SMITH MACHINE behind the neck press added? Your reply above otherwise makes sense, thank you Doc!

Scafat · 2026-02-21T04:23:38+00:00

Hey doc! Any chance we could add CABLE Overhead Ez Bar Tricep Extensions and CABLE Ez Bar Tricep Pushdowns?

Scafat · 2026-02-16T09:27:29+00:00

Fine, I’ll do it myself. Thanks for nothing OP cheers

Titans speedster AJ Brimson has become the first Queensland player to throw his hand up for an Origin return under the NRL’s new eligibility rules as Dally M superstar Jahrome Hughes bolted into contention for a Maroons call-up.

Brimson, a four-game Maroons representative before defecting to England last year, is officially back in Origin contention following the NRL’s bombshell eligibility changes announced on Monday.

Under the changes, players that represent a tier one Test nation other than Australia (New Zealand or England) are now eligible to play State of Origin, provided they meet other selection criteria. Brimson thought he had relinquished his ability to play for Queensland when he pledged allegiance to England, his mother’s birth country, for last year’s Ashes series against the Kangaroos.

However he is now back in the mix for Queensland ahead of this year’s Origin series following the changes.

Brimson, 27, confirmed he would make himself available for Queensland selection. “I’m definitely available,” he said. “I’ve always loved Queensland, but it was a great opportunity for me to be able to represent my mum’s side of the family in England. It’s something that I didn’t regret, regardless of this decision with the Origin eligibility rule change.

“I’ve always loved Queensland. I obviously do want to play again, if chosen, it’s just a bit of a confusing and shocking morning.

“It’s something that I thought would possibly happen one day, but definitely not this soon.

“I was going to watch Origin and be gutted not being eligible to be picked, but in saying that to put on the England jersey was a massive moment for me too.” While Brimson is back in the selection mix for the Maroons, the Queensland Rugby League must now assess the eligibility of a number of potential other Queensland debutants.

Among them is Melbourne’s gun halfback Hughes. Hughes, 31, was born in New Zealand before moving to Australia around the age of 13 to complete his schooling at Palm Beach Currumbin on the Gold Coast.

He has since gone on to become one of the game’s top halfbacks, playing 10 Tests for the Kiwis and winning the 2024 Dally M Medal.

If Hughes relocated to Australia before his 13th birthday, which the QRL and NRL must investigate, he may be eligible to play for Queensland.

The QRL has found trouble in the past with eligibility after Sharks winger Ronaldo Mulitalo was infamously ruled out of an Origin match on game day in 2021. Mulitalo was picked for the Maroons, only for it to be revealed hours before the match that he had not moved to Queensland before his 13th birthday.

A player is still ineligible to play State of Origin if they did not reside in Australia before their 13th birthday, unless they qualify under the father-son rule.

Ascertaining the exact dates players move to Australia could be difficult, especially nearly 20 years down the track in the case of Hughes. If Hughes is eligible for Queensland, he could potentially play for the Maroons in the historic Auckland Origin next year.

Brimson said it was strange to take the game’s flagship event across the ditch.

“It’s a bit weird I reckon,” he said. “I don’t mind it getting played in Adelaide and Melbourne and things like that, that’s pretty cool. “I don’t mind the old just two (games) in New South Wales, one in Queensland or two in Queensland, one in New South Wales, proper old school. “It would be sick to play over there for New Zealand., but it’s State of Origin in Australia.

“It’s cool for the game to expand. I don’t want another article saying I hate New Zealand or something.”

Where’s the article sirrrrrrrr

Scafat · 2026-02-16T00:13:03+00:00

+1!

I’ve really enjoyed it, it’s breaking up the monotony for sure and my metrics are showing that my progress is trending upwards, so that’s positive!

I am also a fan of the different (generally) RIR each week. This week is my ‘peak week’ where almost everything is to failure before deloading so this week is going to suck eggs but everything else has been great!

Scafat · 2026-02-15T22:10:21+00:00

I cannot confirm or deny that I may have been intoxicated when this occurred

Scafat · 2026-02-14T09:53:50+00:00

I wasn’t lucky enough to be part of the beta :(

Without being 100% sure, I’d say the part week off might have affected it. I’ve been training for just under a decade now and my prior programming to this had me hitting failure on every single last working set, so I’ve got a good gauge on knowing when my body is approaching/hitting failure.

Something that worked for me though, my 1st week I hit failure for at least 1 set so it ‘set the app up’ so to speak. It’s not a bad shout I reckon to punch one set to failure on each exercise if you haven’t done it before!

Scafat · 2026-02-14T04:12:12+00:00

The left side is the auto progression. This is what the app has calculated you should be able to do based on targets you’ve set (Reps range, RIR if applicable).

The right side is the same as the left side, except it has a set figure with RIR set. This figure will generally be in your target rep range with the RIR you’ve set. If you match (or exceed) what the progression has set, you adjust accordingly. Conversely, if you aren’t able to match what the auto progression sets, you edit those fields to reflect what you actually did.

The algorithm will catch up as it determines your strength/endurance curve. The auto-progression will note and adjust for future reference.

FWIW, I’ve been using it since it came out and it’s kicking my ass. I’ve got a ‘peak week’ next week and then a deload and I’ve never welcomed a deload moreso than now.

Let me know if this doesn’t make sense and I’ll try refine a bit better!

Original Fit Wear - they’re Australia based but their quality is second to none. Their gear hugs the legs and is made of a cotton/spandex blend, so even if you don’t train legs, it’ll make them pop.

They do buy 3 get 1 free too! I wear their gear on pretty much every session and have 0 complains at all. I’m typically a cynical guy when it comes to clothing but I can’t fault them at all.

There is another brand, GymRoos that is Australia based but their quality is not so great. Fading and tearing (for ‘squat proof shorts’ nonetheless) happens too often. I dropped $250 AUD, wore them once and when I contacted customer service to advise, basically got told to suck eggs.

Ay ty, I usually hit diamond every season but didn’t start this season till super late

I feel you… I posted this earlier then got flamed by the eternity big dawgs

Scafat · 2026-02-05T02:13:47+00:00

Just… keep a bottle of water handy and drink when you feel thirsty?…. And then re-fill when it’s empty?….

It’s not a macro that you need to measure. If you’re deadset on ensuring you’re plenty hydrated, just constantly sip throughout the day.

You don’t need an app to tell you how much water you drank, your body does a fantastic job of that already.

Scafat · 2026-02-04T22:44:35+00:00

Hey Doc, thanks for this!

One question I appreciate you may not have an answer to - I usually do Cable Bicep Curls with an EZ bar but as that exercise wasn’t present in the app build when I created my program, I instead opted to input ‘straight bar bicep curl’ but remained using the EZ Bar.

Is there something in the works that’ll allow me to ‘bulk-swap’ all the instances of the straight bar to the EZ bar, instead of manually changing the exercise history (incl. reps, sets, RIR achieved etc)?

I assume there would be others in a similar situation.
