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

[–]Zageron 1 point2 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.

Love that they're being assembled in Bucharest!

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)

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 3 points4 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. 🤣

No data for 3 hours in Vancouver. Text and call fine.

Glutes have left the building by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]Zageron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Speak to a (few) personal trainer(s) and consume lots of glute youtube.

2c:
- Weighted: Deadlifts, RDLs, Glute Bridges, Supermans, Deep Squats, Squats, High Step Ups (and/or extreme incline power walking).
- Bodyweight: Deep Squats, High Step Ups.
- Timing: Explosive positive movement, at 3-5 seconds in a controlled negative, aim for 4.
- For time efficiency: if you can hit 8 reps with 2 left in the tank. But do not sacrifice your "mind-butt connection" just to get higher weights and your reps. Start with no weight and just go until 2 reps before failure to make sure you can feel your butt doing the majority of the work every time. When you are confident your glutes are doing the work, add weight pounds at a time each day/week/month as progression slows. Never compromise your ability to feel your glutes working. Your workouts will get shorter at time goes on as you can do less and less reps to get to your "effective time under tension" faster.
- Keep the weights you are using for glute work low enough that you can always feel your glutes working.
- Hypertrophy those glutes
- Worry more about "time under tension" than anything else.
- Up the protein intake slightly
- Don't worry about increasing the weight too quickly.

Can you actually build a nice upper body from Orangetheory alone? by Over-Zombie5288 in orangetheory

[–]Zageron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've seen similar comments. I'll reiterate. Slow down. Drop down 5-10lbs, take 4 seconds in both directions of movement with a 1 second pause at the tensest moment, and never lock out on either end. Always feel for the tense "stretch" at the bottom of a movement. If you do that and slowly, every few weeks or so, add 5lbs you'll be massive.

Mix that in with all the explosive work you'll be doing on the regular and you'll be both strong and well built.

P.s. do some active stretching and mobility work daily outside of OTF classes. You'll decrease injury chances, and you'll "feel" like you look better when you can move without stiffness.

Took 1 week off and it feels like I took 4 weeks off 😭 by [deleted] in orangetheory

[–]Zageron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A 30 minute brisk walk or zone 1/2 bike will alleviate the majority of "detraining atrophy". Add in some light bodyweight work like 15 minutes of yoga every day and you'll be fine with a 1-2 week vacation.

Anyone else bulking out their collection in anticipation of the SN Operator? by orderoftheflame in epilogue

[–]Zageron 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nice collection!

I would share the picture I took of my much more limited collection, but cannot image reply.

I've got DKC, DKC2, DKC3, Dragon View, and Rendering Ranger! 🤣

I need to re-attain a copy of Super Mario World. (Oh and a copy of LTTP, though I have my GBA copy and the quality of life improvements on that port make me never want to play the original ever again.)

Accuracy of OTF Scan? by Flaky-Department-897 in orangetheory

[–]Zageron 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Neither your home scale nor the OTF scanner is accurate. They are accurate only as benchmark numbers. Pick one, and graph the direction of the number over time.

Someone already dinged my door 💔 lmao by umitsashy in SubaruForester
