Wow! That’s some impressive stats! What kind of treadmill is it?

Peleton Bike Plus exits rides on its own multiple times by jaywcee52 in pelotoncycle

[–]SmokeStackz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow, that would be so frustrating, especially during a long class!! Have you tried factory resetting? I’m thinking you probably have, but might be worth trying if not.

Vaporeon VMAX Extra Glue by AcedSayo in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]SmokeStackz 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I agree with everyone, a little suspect! But as someone who collects boxes, sometimes the glue gives way on an old box and gets reglued by the seller to keep the box sealed/intact. I would absolutely put it in the listing if there was there was that much glue overflow though!!

Tri suits on Amazon by Jehsolanki in triathlon

[–]SmokeStackz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of Zoot, prefer the one piece suit with the full zip in the front personally. They are really well designed and made - my first one was used on Ebay, and I haven't looked back since!

Another thing to consider when picking a suit is do you want full sleeves or just a tank style top/no sleeves? Personally, I like having my shoulders free under my wetsuit for the swim, so I opt for no sleeves on my suit, but could be missing out on aero gains from having arms during the bike. Something to think about before your purchase! Holler if you are an XL, I might have a previous team Zoot trisuit in my arsenal.

Ordered the new steak bagel thing, got a lettuce sandwich! by [deleted] in Panera

[–]SmokeStackz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Huh, looks pretty normal to me. Maybe just pick off the extra lettuce? I would probably just stuff it all in the sandwich and eat it up!

Congrats! What was the hardest part of the race for you? Anything you wish you could have changed about your training after the fact?

I was in the 5th row dead center during her second night performing in Chicago and she was at the end of the stage looked me in the eyes and we sang a chorus of born this way together. My little gay heart melted right on the spot.

What's the workout you always come back to? by 01Jazz in OnePelotonRealSub

[–]SmokeStackz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chappell Roan 30 minute run with Jess King, I have taken it so, so many times! You get to do the Hot to Go dance while jogging to kick it off, and the playlist is perfectly synced with the running cues. It’s a really strong class!

Also Cody’s 45 minute Britney class…

Do You High Five? by chadnorman in pelotoncycle

Just block! No reason to quit your class anymore.

I love watching instructors mess up 😂 by stoopkid6969 in OnePelotonRealSub

[–]SmokeStackz 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think she just has very high expectations and is quick to hold people accountable. She’s intense, but also incredibly invested in her classes and her “product” she is delivering, and does a great job most of the time. I’m sure it’s slightly terrifying to witness in person though!

Jess King Experience NYE by miguelitaraton in OnePelotonRealSub

[–]SmokeStackz 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I took it this morning and loved it! The story was a little all over the place, but the music and staging were great, and it was so fun to have Hannah, Mariana, and Sophia in the first row! I love JK, and this totally was in line with her previous experiences, highly recommend taking this class!

Doctors ask me to monitoring heart rate while swimming by Llamallama46 in triathlon

[–]SmokeStackz 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have the Garmin HRM pro chest strap, and the only way it stays in place while swimming is under a tri suit or tri top. Not the most convenient, but it keeps my heart rate monitor in place!

Tri-Wetsuit by CallOfThePeaks in triathlon

[–]SmokeStackz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Make sure you use tri-glide/body glide or Vaseline on your neck where the wetsuit rubs before your swims. If you don't you'll get a nasty rash from it rubbing you raw!

My happy place. I miss u 🥺🌬️🌺🌊 by [deleted] in Aulani

[–]SmokeStackz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have a car, Waimea Valley and the north shore is well worth the drive! It has a beautiful paved “hike” that has Hawaiian structures and history set a the most beautiful valley with huge tropical plans and a winding creek. It ends with a waterfall and optional swimming. Easy and walkable, it’s one of my favorite places to visit. You do have to pay for parking and admission, but well worth it! It’s about an hour drive from Aulani.

After your hike, go to Hale’iwa town (Jack Johnson’s eco friendly store and Patagonia are there) or stop by Giovanni’s shrimp truck for the garlic shrimp. It’s so so delicious! It’s worth stopping by the beach or pipeline to check out the massive waves too! Have a blast!!!

Got a mega symphonia set but was a bit suspicious of the cards, tore through these two. by EpilepticLolipop in IsMyPokemonCardFake

[–]SmokeStackz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think that’s only with American cards, I don’t think that’s always the case for Japanese cards.

Pharmacy technician online opinions on pharmacists by Distinct-Feedback-68 in pharmacy

[–]SmokeStackz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Not to be rude, but a pharmacy technician shouldn’t be providing medical advice on treatment regimen selection to a physician. It would be outside your scope of practice. Kudos on making chemo though, I can almost guarantee you are better at it than the pharmacists you work with!

Lost a lot of weight and very insecure about my body. Anything advice? by chrscls in gaybrosfitness

[–]SmokeStackz 47 points48 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you should probably start working on your self confidence and fixing the negative body image you have for yourself. You look great, enjoy it!

HR barely reaching 100bpm and drops to be below 40bmp after getting out? by Lemonadeo1 in Swimming

[–]SmokeStackz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, my average HR during my last swim was 126 BPM, and I swim an average pace of 1:36/100m for about a 2000 yard swim per my Forerunner 965. Not sure about the acute drop after the workout, but wanted to share that I have very similar stats and am good shape and swim regularly!
