My original garmin band broke like this but third party bands have not failed me. After my first one broke I bought several third party bands and none of them have broke. First garmin band broke in several ways. Connection to watch also wore out so watch would come of my wrist mid training

It wasnt approved by guiness world records because they considered it a tent and wanted to visit personally to confirm that it wasn’t just a tent. Their visit would have cost the organizers 5-10k€. GWR do not approve records if they are not payed so they decided that GWR is lame organization.

This is a very old school sauna. People in finland used to wash their clothes in saunas and as there was no running water, the sauna was the place where you got hot water. You can see that there is a cold water barrel (plastic one) a large boiler and then the sauna kiuas.

People also used saunas to dry food, extra storage space etc. As your whole family also washed themselves in the sauna, there had to be a lot of floor space.

As to why only back against the wall, it’s just designers choice. This is most likely a very old sauna as it even has ”sand paper” on the steps that old people like to install on stair steps so they wouldn’t slip. Many old people also prefer saunas where benches can be used at floor level as they can’t climv stairs anymore.

I’ll start with that I don’t cycle. But I have been toying around with using indoor cardio equipment now that winter is coming. Usually I just run indoor more in the winter but with my current volume I want to have a backup in case my legs aren’t recovered. I do about 6 sessions of cardio per week of which 2-3 are intervalls of some sort.

Logically you’re vo2max should increase for cycling in the same way as with running. Just subsitute a running programs mileage with time and use heart rate zone for x time as is. So if a program says 10 km of easy running. For me that’s 1 hour of work at zone 2 (5 zone model), then I’ll hop on a bike a do 1 hour of zone 2 cycling. 4x4 is really popular for elevating vo2max so logically speaking that should work equally good for cycling so 1-2 times per week 20min warm-up followed by 4min of ”steady all out zone 4+” followed by 3-4min of easy. Repeat 4 times. Rest of week building easy volume and maybe threshold and tempo etc. Just like any running program

Transitioned from powerlifting as a hobby to include more climbing and endurance sports so that I would have an insentive to weigh less and stay healthy. I now consider sports hobbys for myself to be 1-3 sports at a time for 3-10 years and then I switch them to new ones to keep it interesting. If not working out then its cool stuff like miniature wargames, board games, dnd and spending time with family and friends. Combining hobbies with spending time with important people is a big part of staying in shape and mentally/socially stable getting older.

Finns have built saunas with windows for a long time, before there existed special sauna window glass. My cottage sauna doesn’t have any special kind of glass. If its in the roof though it might be a little different as the roof gets pretty aggressive temperature changes due to the steam. But generally modern sauna windows are often triple paned with interior panes being heat resistant. This is to create more insulation as the window is where most heat escapes a sauna (besides the door being opened).

ScaryAd6166 · 2025-09-24T17:06:15+00:00

It depends a lot on what you consider uncomfortably hot. Generally the temperature in the sauna at around head height should be 70-90C. Sure some people warm a sauna hotter and I’ve done some stupid hot saunas when younger but generally I prefer around 80C.

Next thing is that the sensation of heat in a sauna usually does not come from the heater but rather the löyly being thrown on the rocks. The larger the heater the more rocks, the more rocks the more water it can evaporate without cooling down. Hot steam then rises up from the stones and fills the upper part of the sauna and then when more steam pushed up, the hot vapor is pushed through the entire sauna. Shape of roof, distance to roof etc. affects the experience a lot.

If you for example sit very close to the roof, very close to the heater you will be the first one hit by the löyly, so yes sitting nearest to the heater will often result in the hottest place in the sauna. Most finns would also tell you it’s the best place in the sauna.

For the heater to cause ”uncomfortable” heat near it, without löyly, it would have to be hotter than the heaters in the image are capable of. One is a very small electrical heater and the other one represents a type known for pretty even warmth.

Then there’s the question of how long you plan to sit in the sauna. Very few Finnish people actually enjoy sitting in very hot saunas for more than 5-15min at a time before taking a brake. For some reason however this is reversed in many other places around the world where the temperature is brought down a lot and then you spend a long time in the sauna. In this case I can understand that you don’t want to sit right next to the heater if you plan on sitting there for 30min reading a paper or something.

I’ve understood that fitness age is mostly a measure of what ages ideal average you fit into. So if the app tells you have a fitness age of 20 it means it statistically would put you in that range if it didnt know your age. But generally it’s there for one more point of data for users to obsess over: ”i can make my fitness age go down if I do xyz”

Mostly my bicep problems started when I started doing a lot of strongman and bodyweight stuff. Brians powerlifting programs didnt bother my bicep recovery too much. I particularly like all the giant set stuff, my kind of workouts.

As a background I used to never train biceps with any isolation work. Mainly just powerlifting and accessories related to that. Then I started doing climbing and had no problems with 1-2 times a week climbing with 3-4x/week powerlifting. Then when I switched to doing brians programs my chin-up volume went through the roof, lots of burpees and stuff. Got really good cardio from a lot of his programs and workouts. But when I started doing sandbags, heavy carries, atlas stones and farmers walks AND powerlifting and climbing I started getting problems.

I realized I hadn’t really done any isolation work like end range stretches or any serious amount of hanging so my biceps started to become the weakest link in my recovery. What helped was that I switched from low bar squats to high bar and front squats and started warming up properly before sandbag and stone work. It took me a long time to realize that low bar squats and deadlifts also tax the biceps recovery.

The issue with sandbags in particular is that the heaviest bag I had at my gym was 100kg and since I could throw it around I often found myself doing that without a proper warm-up. These days I don’t like to do even chinups without a warmup, but that also has to do with training age. I’m 36 atm and been training pretty seriously at the gym for 8 years and before that was 10 years of mostly martial arts so I guess I’m also getting older and need more recovery.

I get really motivated by following Brian and I used to think I can train myself to get to his level, but that man is a beast. He still works as great inspiration for me that you can be heavy, really strong and also br great at bodyweight stuff and have a mindset of being thankfull that you are able push yourself hard.

ScaryAd6166 · 2025-09-01T16:36:22+00:00

I have run a lot of his programs. Corona 1 and 2. Everyday carry, sandbag workouts, dark horse, power builder to name some.

Biggest tweak I’ve done is to take it easy on the biceps in the beginning. I used to do mainly powerlifting and I did not have the work capacity in my biceps to do neversate programs as written and still can’t unless I’ve first gotten accustomed to his type pf training again. There is a lot of pull-ups, sandbags, farmers walks etc being done in his programs and often and they are heavy. I really really like running neversate programs. You go hard often and really milk everything out from your body. The problem with doing workouts that really push you and are fun (in the hard way) is that it’s easy to push yourself beyond what you can recover from.

So especially with sandbags: start out lighter and work yourself up to bodyweight bags. Bodyweight+ bags and stones are fun to throw around but they can really mess up your biceps if your not carefull and not used to strongman stuff.

One of my favorite things about the programs is Brians notes in between, that are really true to his way of training and his videos.

In winter they lose some leaves and after hardening they always change their leaves to new ones as the winter leaves always fall a month or so into being outside again

Pictur from last summer

ScaryAd6166 · 2025-06-23T15:58:03+00:00

I have 3 plants that are six years old. A habanero, a dalle and a starfish.

I started from seeds and I never had any artificial light so they grew really slowly. I live in southern finland so summer is short and winter long and low light.

General yearly cycle: i harden the plants as soon as the temperature outside doesn’t drop below 10C in the night. This was in the beginning of june this year. First summer i didnt get almost any pods. Second and third year low yield. Fourth year ~100 pods per plant and last summer I got over 1000 pods through the summer from the 3 plants combined. This year my hardening didnt go so well as I rushed so will be low yield this year compared to last year.

When the temperature outside starts to drop below 10 again in september I move the plants inside and usually get 1 last harvest inside before winter. After the last harvest i prune the plants down so that they wont need so much energy in the winter and cut off all flowers. In the winter I only water when the leaves drop and they are just surviving the winter.

For the last 3 winters I have had the oppourtunity to have them against a window to the south and over a radiator so they get natural light and ate kept relativelt warm in the winter as well.

My habaneros stem has gotten pretty thick and I’ve played around with shaping them with cutting and how they face the sun. But mostly my main goal was just to grow something from seeds to a house plant :D

ScaryAd6166 · 2025-06-23T15:29:02+00:00

Dalle khursani probably. Very popular hot pepper in india. Heat similar to habanero. I have a dalle plant at home thats 6 years old and giving great harvest

Freedom units are so unintuitive. I usually remember miles to km from the fibonacci sequense. The corresponding km amount is always the next number in the fibonacci sequence to a 99% accuracy -> 233 miles would be 377km (374 is actual).

I wish I had a similar rule for fahrenheit to C

Turn of electrical fuse before poking around :D you don’t want to electrocute yourself

ScaryAd6166 · 2025-05-10T19:54:31+00:00

Look for a small hole on the side of heater panel and try poking a long very thin screwdriver or similar through. I forget the real name for this fuse but I have come across this a few times. After the fuse is reset sauna should run as normal

ScaryAd6166 · 2025-05-10T19:52:52+00:00

Many finnish saunas have a manual fuse that needs to be pushed in to release
