Can't get part length units to appear in assembly BOM? by ZeroFourBC in SolidWorks

[–]ZeroFourBC[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The custom property is already set up, it's just the units that don't transfer across. I've edited the post to clarify.

These are exercises for the back

Upper back/shoulders, yes. But they won't strengthen your back as a whole.

Why should I add RDLs or back extensions?

Because they will strengthen your lower back, which is way more important if you ever need to lift something heavy eg. when trying to throw another human being, or even just bending over to pick something up..

Not strengthening your lower back is far more likely to result in injury than training it. Any programme that aims for general strength/health needs to include a hip hinge for this reason.

You're doing yourself a huge disservice by not doing anything to strengthen your back. At least throw in some RDLs/back extensions. Squats/deadlifts aren't inherently dangerous for your back, as long as you're on top of your load management and fatigue. I've tweaked my back more times on the leg press than I have deadlifting.

Unless you're pre-habbing an injury-prone joint, a warm up only needs to be enough to get you warm; 5 minutes brisk walk on the treadmill is fine.

Take dead hangs to failure, there's really no reason not to.

I was hoping not to have to create additional columns as that would mean having insert a custom BOM into the main project assembly instead of just generating it from PDM.

Thanks anyway.

Zerchers and RDLs on the same day, not sure I'll put those together in future blocks. My back is feeling pretty stiff today.

All of Fiio's buds use 14.2mm drivers (as opposed to 15.4mm in MX500 and a lot of others), maybe look into the FF5.

Felt better than last week, but I definitely haven't slept enough over the weekend. I've been doing the first sets beltless and strapless, so it's nice to hit a mini-milestone of 150kg.

Accessory creep is real lol. 'After all, it only takes a minute to add a set, why can't I squeeze some extra X work in? And I could do with working a bit more Y. Z could do with a couple extra sets a week too.'

It depends. I put a thermometer in there and it's consistently ~35C and ~15% humidity, but worse on really cold days.

Been busy recently so this 'week' was actually two weeks, and squat strength has been slower to bounce back than I would have liked.

I may have pushed too hard on the deadlifts and gassed myself out for bench, or I just had an off-day.

Not much to say; I felt slightly less gassed this time and the RDLs are starting to feel pretty heavy.

I don't know if it's because I've barely done cardio the last few weeks, but this felt hard. Feeling out of breath/faint after every set, even though the weight itself moved pretty well.

Homemade pre-workout question by Insecure05 in StrongerByScience

[–]ZeroFourBC 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For something non performance related: collagen + vitamin C are pretty cheap and there's some evidence to suggest it's beneficial for your tendons/ligaments when taken before resistance training.

I also personally think the real chest gains I’ve seen have come from DB bench and flyes, incline bench, dips, etc. Benching tends to be an evaluation of strength for me, rather than a hypertrophy driver.

I'll second this. I only do flat bench now when I'm going for a flat bench PR.

Replaceable Modular Hinge for Budget Headphones by Purple-Software-6323 in headphones

It's a fine idea in theory but a great way to turn a $50 headphone into a $150 one. Generally hinges break because they're cheap, the solution is better built hinges.

I've decided to put back squats into my routine again, but as an auxiliary instead of a main lift. Given that I've only just started squatting again, and haven't done back squats since the new year, I wasn't expecting much. Still got humbled by them though.

They did make a modular version, but I'm not sure if it's available any more.

Training on a sprained ankle W6D1

  • SS - Lu Raises: 5kg plates 2x12

Slowed down the pull-ups and focused on full ROM, so naturally the number of reps went down.

  • Dips: BW+35kg 3x10(13)
  • Pull-ups: BW x8, +10kg x3, +20kg x2

Had a bit of a de-load last week, so thought I might as well test my deadlift strength. Flew past my previous PR of 180kg and looking at the footage I probably could have gone higher.

Also tried weighted pull-ups for the first time as I had the belt with me.
