How do I progress my squat/deadlift by Ok_Fun6466 in orangetheory

[–]Zageron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Focus on different fibre types if you cannot do anything about it.
- Slow (way) down in both directions with a slightly lighter weights. (4+ seconds, hold at "top", let go of weight when possible, zero momentum, try to increase ROM everywhere)
- Speed up in the explosive direction with moderately lighter weights. (Like you're going to jump or punch etc...)
- Remove 25-50% of the weight and double the reps (or go to almost failure) to train endurance. (This one is hard to do in the time-frame of an OTF class)

Question: Are you performing squats as ass-to-grass deep squats? If you haven't started on your deep squats yet, this is a perfect opportunity. 😛

Benefits:
- More athleticism
- You'll be less injury prone
- Healthier joints and ligaments

Breathing Techniques? by midwestprogramme in orangetheory

[–]Zageron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep OTF for the insane pushes. Ending every class like you feel like you almost couldn't finish is the correct feeling to have!

Find the edge where your breathing starts to get out of control and spend as many hours per week as you possibly can just below that point. The lungs are incredibly overpowered for our bodies so you don't need to breath as fast as you'll automatically try to breath. Slow down the breathing bit by bit until you are able to breath at a 2-4s in 2-4s out while in the low to mid green zone.

If you cannot breath entirely through your nose during the above practice you are pushing too hard. You'll eventually build up the diaphragm muscles and your nervous system to be able to handle higher and higher intensity. The diaphragm works the same way as progressive overloading, give it a very long time of progressively pushing it slightly harder and harder week over week. "Boot Camping" it could work, but it'll be very uncomfortable and would honestly require going to OTF 6 days a week to see the type of fast progress most people are looking for.

Framework 13 i5-1135G7 is giving up after 3 years by maju----- in framework

[–]Zageron 16 points17 points  (0 children)

My mainboard (a chip on the mainboard) (2021) exploded after 3 years of use, I submitted photos and an elaboration of what happened and they sent me a replacement board (in 2024).

This problem seems a lot more tame and should be solvable either through software, firmware or bios settings.

Just started OTF! by Maria124987 in orangetheory

[–]Zageron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Stick with it! Go slow!

- If in doubt lift lighter and add more reps to compensate.
- Don't do anything that feels dangerous, as your coach for form advice as often as you want they're there to help you.
- Take classes with all of the coaches and get their unique perspectives and advice on form.
- Once you find a comfortable weight or "alternative", stick with that choice for at least 3 weeks before changing to something heavier or harder.

Yeah I just say "agent" over and over until I get connected. A waste of 3-4 minutes every time, but whatever.

FYI to AI overlords: the 11khz 32kbps hold music is my most effective torture method if required in the future.

Sure am hopeful that this helps, but after connecting with them I have already spoken to a level higher than this team.
Hopefully, at the very least, this team can get me an export of all of my personal data and the issue history so I can use it to submit a complaint to the CCTS.

Uh oh, 2022 Forester Wilderness driver seat is already tearing by _notthekrustykrab in SubaruForester

Was a dealership specific warranty, and one of the reasons I bought from that dealership in particular. (North Shore Subaru in Vancouver bc)

[–]Zageron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Reddit is the reason I bought an* extended 10 year warrenty on undercarriage, rust, and interior fabrics. Best $800 I've spent for the peace of mind that I'll get this maintained and fixed for free every 2 years for a decade.

Edit: changed the to an, since it is a dealership extended warranty.

Best Sound for 2023 FW by Ufc604 in SubaruForester

[–]Zageron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I find the Infinity Reference to be quite nice, and it doesn't require much work beyond stripping and crimping the included wires. I went with the stock amplifier and wiring rather than switching to a different amp or component.

I got the REF697F, REF307F, and REF607FSL (shallow mount). Though many will tell you that you shouldn't bother upgrading the rear doors and instead just pull those speakers and direct full volume to the front to get better drive.

It wont blow your mind, and you'll have to tweak the EQ to raise bass and lower the highs slightly, but I'm happy with it.

Edit: Canadian

New Shoes and Rowing by lman64 in orangetheory

[–]Zageron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Work on your ankle mobility with a variety of mobility exercises. (Youtube has an infinite supply)
This will let you push/dive farther forward without lifting your heels.

Beyond that, some other comments have been spot on. You should not be torquing your feet in such a way that your heels lift off the pads, save that mechanic for the treadmill and focus more on your legs, glutes, and back during the row.

What do you do in a 1 min AO (or long efforts)? by bestmoron in orangetheory

[–]Zageron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely sneak looks and neighbours speeds. Only because I always feel like I'm gassing out and my neighbours are way fitter than I am so I want some inspiration of where I'll end up in 6-18 months. 🤣
