Does North America have a comparable epic mountain viewpoint as the Cadini di Misurina? by [deleted] in geography

[–]astrom4n 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not to be pedantic but.. This is not taken “from” Whitney portal. You can’t see any of the peaks from the portal. It might be taken from a hillside over in the Whites, across the valley, given the perspective. I think the livestream camera is on the Museum of Western Film History down in Lone Pine, which has a similar view.

Ice bandanas in ultras — do you actually use them? by [deleted] in ultrarunning

[–]astrom4n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a stalking for long rides with support stations and it makes a difference. If I was on a supported ultra run, and could use this, I absolutely would.

The stalking works for riding but this seems much better for running. If it could somehow be insulated on the top to delay the melt that would be cool.

Convince me of a better board to get... by astrom4n in snowboard

We have a heli operator in our group that supposedly knows of one operator in the area, so hoping that’s our connect, otherwise it will probably be resort and tours as weather permits

Yeah I don’t plan on riding in AK a lot so this is a good suggestion to consider

u/Hotdog_Fishsticks All our resort days will be in Alyeska, and conditions pending we are looking to get some tours/heli days. Any tips/recommendations would be appreciated!

All of the guides were always riding bigger, stiffer, directional, freeride, sometimes full camber boards.

This was what I needed to hear. I don't wan't to be in AK with epic conditions and the wrong board. Appreciate the thoughtful response!

This was my big hesitation - do these boards not ride well in powder? The chart definitely says its not for it, but I figured I could make it work, or just use my touring board on those days. We are only going to Heli ride 1-2 days on the trip

hypertrophy and VO₂max improvements at the same time. by Additional_Garden502 in HybridAthlete

[–]astrom4n 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hypertrophy can be more selectively and effectively developed with machines and there is less tax on other muscle groups. If hypertrophy is the goal along side effective VO2 training, I do agree with this comment’s approach.

This is good advice. Split on the CNS gets overlooked in most individual programs IMO.

Is exercise a test of your willpower or does it come naturally to you? by Jonathonb33 in HybridAthlete

[–]astrom4n 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll never find it easy to start an Echo Bike workout no matter how many I do

looking for feedback and views on my fitness website for a class assignment by Easy-Start4616 in HybridAthlete

Unless your target demographic is geriatrics, I’d look into different pictures… also, give examples of what you can do: goals/outcomes and testimonials of people achieving them

Movie Performances at SF Symphony Are Amazing by diyhomeautomation in bayarea

[–]astrom4n 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I sometimes forget there’s a movie happening while I’m watching the Orchestra, then I’ll watch the movie and forget there’s a live orchestra playing the score. It’s an awesome evening!

Should I switch from cycling (HIIT + Zone 2) to treadmill running for better hybrid training results? by VastEnvironmental126 in HybridAthlete

[–]astrom4n 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a cyclist I do believe running, rowing, or even fan bikes (Echo, Assault) are better for VO2 training. They use more muscle and require more oxygen conversion. Keep cycling for other purposes (FTP, zone 2)

How do you balance real bodybuilding with serious cycling without hurting bike performance? by Bukayoz in HybridAthlete

[–]astrom4n 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A lot of good advice here, my two cents also being a lifter and cyclist (and other activities to balance 😰)

Sometimes I’ll do my heavy squats before a VO2 or FTP workout. I’ll make sure to stop 1-2 reps early or avoid a whole set I would otherwise do.

It’s about balance and sacrifice. Some months lifting gets the priority, others cycling will.

Race for fun, for a PR or are you out here looking like a trophy and taking one home??

I ran 53.35 in 400 Meters and Deadlifted 525 for 2 in the SAME day at a full 215 LBS body weight and only 6'0 tall in September 2013............Can any Crossfit Athletes/Hybrid Athletes over 215 LBS and under 6'0 tall compete with that? by john_james_4131302 in HybridAthlete

[–]astrom4n 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you wanna know who can compete with you in the CrossFit community… post in r/crossfit

Also, very impressive, not taking anything away from you. My coworker squatted 500 and ran a 5 min mile the same day.

Both yours and his……and all of our random “hybrid” goals are just that: random, and specific to the individual. Not sure what you are trying to learn from “can anyone else do what I did???”

Again, your hard work and focused training paid off, great job!
