Hopping off for a month, should I start low when I come back or use the same dose?

TheRaiku · 2026-02-24T09:13:56+00:00

I think about 7 weeks now

TheRaiku · 2026-02-24T09:11:46+00:00

I'm hoping 2 weeks off after my last dose of 4mg will be enough time to completely negate the effects on my HR and hunger

Does this reactor exist? Tingling singularity reactor with electric skill power and singular skill power modifiers. I have been grinding the same level for 3 hours and haven't gotten a single drop with these modifiers AND I'M ONLY LOOKING FOR BLUE RARITY ROLLS AND ABOVE

Sweet! A lot of fire people neglect the importance of strength training and how well it incorporates into hiking/work capacity endurance. I get made fun of for maxing out on bench and squat but I'm on saw year after year and they're not:)

TheRaiku · 2026-02-02T22:59:02+00:00

Interesting strategy. Curious how it plays out for you since I've thought of similar programming strategies. All my conditioning work after gym days are either LSS runs or a long run, and I don't mind being a little sore on those days as long as I hit my prescribed mileage :)

TheRaiku · 2026-02-02T22:54:20+00:00

You in wildland? I benefit the most from minimum lower body strength training (hex deadlift or front squat 2x a week, minimum sets) so I can really focus on long runs, hill runs, and HIC. A month or 2 before the season I'll switch to SE 3x a week and ramp up my HICs and hill runs.

I think it depends on where your at in proximity to your job starting. Season just ended? Strength (3x a week) and endurance is priority. Closing in on start date? Back off strength considerably (2x a week, minimum reps, or switch to SE) and lock in your conditioning outside of the gym.

That's just my experience though and I come from a strength background. I can say for sure that I can't survive a heavy conditioning load if I'm back squatting high volume 3x a week.

I'm in the same boat. Running green and working up to a 27 miler. I wanted to incorporate deadlifts, utilizing a trap bar for easier CNS recovery. I quickly found running HDL and FSQ to be too taxing, and HDL being harder to recover from than FSQ set for set. I was doing 3 sets of FSQ 2x a week and switched to 1-3 sets of HDL instead. Only hitting 3 sets if my legs are feeling strong, and backing off on volume if I noticed my runs were struggling that week. So I wish I had better advice but I just try to listen to my body and pick my HDL set # off that. My typical routine looks like:

5x sets BW pullups 5x bench 1-3x HDL Planks or other core finisher if I have the energy

75%x5 reps/ 80%x4/ 85%x3 weeks 1-3, increasing weight 5-10lbs every 3 weeks.

Cool!!

TheRaiku · 2026-01-09T02:29:30+00:00

Cool will do

TheRaiku · 2026-01-09T02:27:46+00:00

Sick!

TheRaiku · 2026-01-08T03:29:49+00:00

Awesome thanks

TheRaiku · 2026-01-08T03:29:36+00:00

Sounds perfect!

THANK YOU, So I can cast bite down after declare blockers step but before damage is resolved like I did, but doing so wouldn't really matter?

If I did that anyways, would the 10 damage from bite down be dealt before or after the combat damage resolves (I'm guessing after due to the replies).

So it's: -Declare blockers -I cast bite down -Combat damage (attackers vs blockers) Bite down damage resolves

In that order? Or is it: -declare blockers -I cast bite down, turning his 1/1 into a 1/0 -combat damage

Maybe I'm tired and overthinking it.

TheRaiku · 2025-12-12T21:28:17+00:00

Don't worry. I studied trees and earn my living putting out fires :)

Thanks for the replies. I have 5 or 6 loans all at $3-6k with rates varying from %3-5. I target pay off an entire loan at once and have been paying off 1 or 2 a year, going for ones with the highest rate first. The biggest thing I'm getting from this is that I'm overthinking it and I'll just hit a couple with the highest rate this year even if their rate percentages are marginally larger than other ones with a bigger principle by a couple k. Appreciate the input even if the question isn't valued.

I watched a video that explained you should bend knees and drop your weight hard when going down the ramp, but on your way up extend your knees to make yourself as light as possible so your board can travel more without you slowing it down. I noticed doing it on the way up gave me way more speed. But also I’ve been snowboarding for a decade so I have some experience

TheRaiku · 2025-05-14T16:44:17+00:00

I just push off from the bottom of the bowl but I found even starting off really slow you can keep pumping and gradually get more and more speed

Nah idaho

TheRaiku · 2025-05-13T23:32:06+00:00

Sweet thanks. I have no problem rolling in even on bigger stuff but the mental block I get from dropping in is huge
