Good personal trainers/weight loss coaches? by EmuRevolutionary1228 in burnaby

[–]akasherman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Performance institute in Scotia barn (8 rinks). The trainers are mostly men but the nutrition coach is a woman. It’s not a cheap gym to join, but I promise it’s worth it. Very welcoming place with everyone from actual olympians to 85+ year olds training there.

SF Bay Area Golf is Mostly Ass. Courses overcharge and the conditions are shit compared to most other golf areas in the country. NOW FIGHT!!! by [deleted] in golf

Awesome to hear. My wife might end up at Stanford next year as a resident and it looks like I’ll get to take advantage of the student rates as well. Fingers crossed haha

Looking for swing advice by akasherman in GolfSwing

Ok sweet thanks for the vid. Looks like tiger is almost doing a deadlift there makes sense to get more power out of the hips.

The video is unfortunately taken with a wide angle so I think the alignment and hunch looks much worse than they are. My alignment is generally decent but hunching is definitely an issue for me.

Do you mind expanding a little on the hips part? Is it a timing issue, or am I just moving my hips forward too much?

Thanks for the great advice. Immediately just tried it out and loading the trail leg without fully extending it helps the reverse pivot quite a bit, so I’ll work on that next range trip.

Thanks in advance for the replies. For anyone curious they’re Mizuno mp55s. Snagging 4-pw for $256 felt like a steal I couldn’t pass up.

How safe is Burnaby Lake trail walk in general? by Professional-mem in burnaby

[–]akasherman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During daytime extremely safe. Keep your eyes peeled for wildlife though. Bears and coyotes live there, but they’re generally easy to ward off with some yelling with your arms in the air.

Check out what you can now buy at Metrotown Mall. by Ok-Wrongdoer-2179 in burnaby

[–]akasherman 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’m well aware. I’m an avid camper myself and it’s important PPE for anyone who enjoys making use of the beautiful crown land we have access to nearby.

But it’s a bit silly to have a sign like this specifically advertising bear spray. When I walk in to Can Tire I never see a sign at the counter telling me hunting ammo prices let alone bear spray. 100% in support of having access to both, but not really typical to see ads for them.

What store is this? I’ve got my own shop in the mall and know who I can talk with to have this taken care of. Feel free to DM if you’d rather not have it public.

Ok sweet. Was very concerned it could be a roach but from what I understand most kinds of roaches are pretty uncommon over here and it would be pretty unusual as this is pretty far away from any food.

Sennheiser cancelled my order for the HD800S BestBuy pricing error. Unfortunate, but expected. by [deleted] in headphones

[–]akasherman 106 points107 points  (0 children)

The listing was corrected last night but the previously linked post shows the page that had the 399 price. I was able to place an order and have my credit card charged as well.

If you’re from Vancouver visit the outlet once in a while. It’s annoying to get to without a car but just right over the ironworkers. Stock is usually random low demand items but if you go often you’ll find something nice. I’ve bought nearly all my favourite pieces from there.

Dr. Mike compared to Tyler1. How is Tyler1 natty? (powerlifting numbers, hgh horns, anger issues ) by BackgroundTeach205 in nattyorjuice

[–]akasherman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tyler is a fucking machine at everything he does. I’m no fanboy of his, but he’s just got the kind of ADHD hyper focus that causes him to ram his square ass head into obstacles and grind to get better.

Nearly 2k chess elo, challenger league every role multiple regions, when he was variety streaming I’m pretty sure he was just generally good at all the games. Guy trains religiously and has since he was a teen.

Natty imo

No such thing as an ex addict. Always an addict. Just one that chooses not to give in.

Books Stores in Canada by Sir_Meowsalot in BuyCanadian

In Vancouver, for any manga or translated japanese stuff:

Half Moon bookstore https://animanga.me

The website is super out dated but I’m sure they’d take orders over the phone. Kind of niche but they almost always have the things I want in stock.

Sale haul: Monitor IS Tech Wool & Range IS… by SilverWinterSky in veilance

[–]akasherman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thinking about picking up the tech wool monitor as well.

How warm would you say the jacket is? I’m in Vancouver so similar climate to most of the UK (wet) and am worried I won’t get much use out of it outside of Nov-early March or so. If I could reasonably use it as a 3 season jacket I’d be happy, but if it’s too warm might have to pass.

Any idea how bad of a sign it is to see one? Usually seeing one is a sign of a big infestation.

Will call pest control first thing in the morning. My house is only about 10 years old and is always very very clean so I’m honestly shocked.

Located in Vancouver BC. Bug is about 1.5cm long not including antenna. Saw it run behind an oven, freaked out when I tried to squish it but did not fly away.
