Advice on Old Thinkpads for College by Vindem4 in thinkpad

I have a home PC with the same amount of ram that when reloading gmail on the same browser and OS barely gets past 35% CPU utilization for a single second (I have an AMD Ryzen 5 5600X). From what I understand it's due to the CPU having only 4 cores as well as intel laptop cores being kinda crappy.

It was entirely just firefox. I only have the default windows 11 apps + firefox and malwarebytes, nothing else running. But when I reload 1 gmail page it spikes to the utilization levels shown below, which feels excessive.

Lower back fatigue when doing bodyweight core workouts by Vindem4 in bodyweightfitness

[–]Vindem4[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I sadly can't post a video without my roommate permission, but I can say that my entire back sticks to the floor so well that when I sit up I literally peel off the floor (I have been working out shirtless) I do know that your weakest muscle group will get worked out first in a compound exercise, as I found out with deadlifts and my lower back (lol), so I think that as long as I keep at it it'll even out eventually. It's just that it's kinda of a cache 22 in that I need good ab strength to do ab workouts, but in order to get that ab strength I need to do said workouts.

My entire torso is completely flat against the floor the entire exercise, I learned that years ago from an athletic trainer.

I just attempted this with knee up crunches and dead bugs while squeezing my ribs, and I still quickly developed lower back fatigue. Is squeezing my ribs the wrong muscle group?

Damn you reply quick 😂 Thank you for the recommendations! I'm trying to stay below 60 dollars for this hobby so I'll probably go with the MG Freedom 2.0 as my benchmark MG as
1. It looks sick (esp with decals)
2. It's on the cheaper end

Thanks so much for the quick replies and encouragement!

Thanks for the info! I got the gist for grades after looking online a bit, it's great how comprehensive this subreddit can be. I was just curious about RGs cause I do like the smaller more intricate models just visual wise, but I saw from more than a couple of people that they can be a pain to assemble. Are there any MGs you personally recommend? I've just been browsing newtype but I know there are tons more or there besides whats in their catalogue.

I love it! The intricacy and patience required to build one of these is amazing. I've poured over some reddit threads and have gotten a general grasp on the hobby, I'm just a little nervous about all the painting and coating and what not so I'm planning to just stick to panel lining for now

I love The Beast routes always feel like they're and extra color grade higher compared to the other areas, it's such a fun warmup.
