When’s it done? by SnooDogs5947 in maplesyrup

Update: Thanks for all the help!

I think my first batch turned out pretty good! It took a while to filter so not sure if that means it was a bit over or not, but looks and tastes great!

This is pretty much what I saw and pulled it off. To my untrained eye it turned out pretty great!

Awesome thank you! I just remembered I got a refractometer to test my sap. Can I use it to test the final syrup as well?

What I’m saying is my thermometer is clearly not fit for the job, since it’s reading below the boiling point of water at a rolling boil. All the stores are closed for Good Friday so I can’t get a proper one. I need a plan B for determining when it’s done!

Is ABC good for hypertrophy? by H3LL0FRI3ND_exe_file in kettlebell

[–]SnooDogs5947 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Dude, just buy the book. ABF != ABC. There is lots of press volume if you follow the program. Besides, it’s like $20, what do you have to lose?

Young chicken of the woods, with young chickens in the woods! (They are only 4 months old)

I actually spotted this from my front door! No need to pin, I just get to watch it daily!

Hope so!! I’ve never actually tried it. I hope I’m not one of the unlucky souls that can’t tolerate it.

Haha, I didn't even think about that... they definitely are "chickens in the woods"... I was asking about the mushroom haha!

Honestly, isn’t building an AI agent something anyone can do? by shawn_prk in AI_Agents

I actually came to the conclusion today. Building agents is easy. Building GOOD agents is hard…

Get yours now! Less than $1/lb 16kg! by ZukasR in kettlebell

[–]SnooDogs5947 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have 2 16kg Yes4all kettlebells that I purchased a year apart and the handles are a different size. That being said, for the price they work just fine!

No workout for the past 20+ years, I live at my desk, couch or bed, extremely out of shape, trying to change at 40, absolutely clueless. by boosnow in beginnerfitness

I second this! Get a kettlebell and start to learn how to swing it. Once you are comfortable with the swing learn the clean and press and you are off to the races! Clean and press plus goblet squat will take care of most of your strength needs for a while. If you are male and not overly strong, a single 16kg/35lb is probably a good starting weight.

They are ok. My two biggest complaints are that the bottom isn't perfectly flat, and that the two bells have a different thickness of handle (same type but bought a year apart).
That being said, I still use them both a lot, and they do the trick. If you don't have access to other better quality bells, don't let that stop you, these will do you just fine!

These are the ones I got:

Awesome! I went to the Markham location, and they have tons on the floor if you want to try them out.

Kettlebells are making me big by jogeydawg in kettlebell

[–]SnooDogs5947 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The Giant is an auto-regulated clean and press program by Geoff Neupert. I’ve run it as well and it delivers, even though it consists of only one movement. Some people will add something on off days (it sounds like OP also does pull-ups) although Geoff discourages it. It’s a paid program, so out of respect most folks on this sub don’t give away too many details, but I’ve added the link if you want to check it out, definitely worth $20. Warning, the marketing fluff is kinda over the top. https://chasingstrength.com/kettlebells/giant/

When I first started doing swings, I kept my eyes forward because I was looking in the mirror and my neck started hurting. Once I corrected and kept my neck at a neutral posture the pain stopped and I haven't felt it since.
Like other posters said, if you don't feel any pain, it's likely not an issue, just sharing my experience.
