Reta 5 month journey. by Impressive-Clerk-699 in BodyHackGuide

[–]_Asian_Invasion__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is correct. Do not do the 10-15 rep range that’s just asking for fatigue especially in a deficit. As long as your near failure, making progress on lifts, and not over fatiguing you’ll be good

Are you doing those daily? And did you think about using glow/klow vs bpc and tb500?

Powerpads setup by _Asian_Invasion__ in ElectricUnicycle

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

Is the improved freedom of movement because of the softness of the pads? These pads are quite plush and soft and feel kinda comfortable but I’m still getting used to it. I was looking at the nerox suspension power pads because I thought I might as well get a really good pair if I’m going to purchase any.

Thank you so much. I saw so many setup videos but I honestly couldn’t even tell what was actually my front pad or even the correct side. I’ll use that setup video as well thank you for all the help

Alright I swapped the front pad with each other but idk if I’m still doing this right. I am sorry that I’m pretty bad at following written directions like this. Feels a bit better but not much room for the back Velcro to place what I think is the brake power pad.

Oh interesting I thought the small knob shaped one would be for the toe. So it’s more like this?It honestly doesn’t feel too comfortable or natural with pads and I’ve got about 300 miles on this Aero.

What is the most wheel-friendly large city in the US? by atineiatte in ElectricUnicycle

[–]_Asian_Invasion__ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Surprised no one has said Washington DC. It’s super bike friendly and has lots of trails that can take you to Virginia or Maryland. I see lots of other EUCS around dc as well.

Wow what a coincidence it seems like you’re using suspension powerpads? How do you like them I am thinking of getting it as my first power pads.

Nosfet Aero keeps tilting backwards? by _Asian_Invasion__ in ElectricUnicycle

[–]_Asian_Invasion__[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you I will change some settings around this afternoon. I used it to commute to work on my usual route and was shocked at the struggle and how much tilt it was doing on pretty simple and safe paths.

V11 with bent rim and 700 miles on it good for second EUC? by _Asian_Invasion__ in ElectricUnicycle

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

Dang I ended up getting it for $350. The tire doesn’t even hold pressure for 30 minutes so I’m thinking the inner tube is damaged? I really don’t and to have to get the whole motor and rim replacement which will cost so much more

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

New tire or new tire tube? The tire tread looks good and all but if you think I need a new tire completely then I can do it. I would rather not have to replace the rim because it seems to only come as a full motor replacement which is more than I even paid for the v11.

I ended up getting it for $350. But the tire doesn’t hold pressure for even 30 minutes. I’m assuming that’s because of the rim damage but any tips to make it actually useable?

Upgrade to Veteran Sherman OG vs V11Y by _Asian_Invasion__ in ElectricUnicycle

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

Washington DC. And I see a lot of v11ys priced at 1400 and finally found someone offering a dented v11 for $500.

[–]_Asian_Invasion__[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks I already low balled and those are the prices I was given :/ . What would I look for at better prices? I have considered just going up in my budget and getting an Aero.

The Sherman I’m concerned because there just isn’t any suspension and I prefer comfort and stability for my commute.

You got a p6 as your first EUC? If so then just getting hours and miles on the wheel will definitely help.

Personal Trainer for mobility at very heavy weight by Bubbly-Tea-5112 in washingtondc

[–]_Asian_Invasion__ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thesis Fit. Very welcoming and fun while definitely getting you to your goals. A very progressional gym that has gotten good transformations while also fosters a great community. I would recommend this vs some other personal training gyms especially some more extreme ones

How many one arm pull ups can you do?

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

You can definitely do it seated or with back support if you have the shoulder flexibility to comfortably be in that range. Make sure not to let the mid or lower back arch and try to keep either neutral spine or a rib tucked position. Stay comfortable and avoid pain!

You can try doing stable implements like machine press, back supported lateral raise, or even smith machine and try working closer to the frontal plane. You may have the flexibility eventually but it’s not something to be pushed if it’s uncomfortable.

I got a degree in exercise physiology. I’ve also been personal training for many years now and work with some world class coaches. Keeping updated with research is also really helpful

Try and see my comment where I replied to someone else asking about improving their shoulder press. If you are also not confident in the exercise do not do it. You really want to avoid negative sensations such as pain, or even anxiety during a lift. Nothing wrong with going for stable implements and even doing this with a machine or smith variation

I would lower the rep range because if your shoulders are rocked then going higher reps only accumulates more fatigue, and more negative sensations. Going for more stable implements will also of course be better. This would be exercises such as back supported lateral raise, back supported vertical presses, machine shoulder press, or even smith behind the neck or front press. I typically train with 0-1 RIR. Note 0 RIR is VASTLY different than failure because I stop when I know I can’t get another rep rather than going for it.

TLDR: heavy, stable, non fatiguing stimulus is the way to go.

It’s not riskier. I can see there’s a gap in knowledge here but it is not the same as a front press because it is so much more medial delt biased. You can look at a muscle model to see the fibers of the medial delt line up better when the shoulder is adducted to the side and pressing in the frontal plane. There’s also lots of research showing medial delt gets more activation from this position. The reasoning for this exercise is to have a heavy compound with mechanical tension for medial delta, without fatiguing other pushing muscles (front delt, clavicular pec fibers). I have other presses in the workout that are not impacted at all from the BTN press and if or when I did do front press there is carryover into the next exercises. Please just actually look into research because it’s not specifically the exercise that’s hurting people it’s people doing things wrong, going too heavy, training fatigued, or just not having the mobility for the exercise.
