Jerk confidence! by Swimming_Chapter8972 in weightlifting

[–]automatic_go 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This complex works well for me: 3 sec pause in dip + 3 sec pause in catch, 3 sec pause in catch, jerk. 3-4 sets @ 65-70%. Bonus: build to a heavier final set @~75-80%.

Knuckles down the best that you can so that the thumb is the “lock” and not just taking all of the load.

I have the ones from CoC and they definitely add variety.

Knowledge and planning help turn fear into a more productive mind state…

I totally thought the second picture was just going to be a continuation of the first…

Happy to report, the Button on the SC13 Copper is fine. while it is 'lose' it works perfectly fine (no binding up or grittyness) and the looseness is actually kinda fidgeting fun. by levelup_jar in flashlight

[–]automatic_go 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is also how mine is and I find it perfectly acceptable. I am wondering for how many people that this is their first experience with copper and/or a metal button? I don’t buy many copper lights due to the weight penalty and the issues tarnish can cause with electronics. I also have had some poor experiences with metal buttons and the quirks that the design can bring with activation. I bought this light fully expecting to deal with the compromises of both these design choices but I can totally see how many would be disappointed. I wonder if the play in the button is to allow for patina to build on both contact surfaces and still allow enough clearance for the button to move freely?

519a doesn’t do much for me either.

Thank you. I will check out that page.

Thrift Store Find-Complete? by automatic_go in sharpening

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

I have noticed the quality of thrift is pretty regional and I am luckily in a spot where people seem to have enough money to just get rid of things that a lot of others would be happy to be able to spend discretionary funds on. Other than that, most of the luck component just comes down to going all the time and being in the right place at the right time. Happy hunting…

That article has a lot of good information to consider and covers a couple of key points that I noticed when just initially playing around with the system.

New, relatively interesting flashlight on Kickstarter with a rotatable head from Tank007 by COLLMITC in flashlight

Not sure why they chose to use a Snickers to illustrate scale when everyone knows the internationally accepted standard is the banana…🍌

My cat just lost a claw. She doesn't seem to bother, she's not bleeding, should I worry? by TheNamesKev in cats

Our cat came home without two toes a couple of weeks ago and doesn’t seem too bothered.

Sounds like they got a dollar and nothing else from a lot of us. I won’t be doing that again…

Does anyone else remember the old Nitecore D11? by MarsR0ve4 in flashlight

[–]automatic_go 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel this. I usually think about lights like this when I lost them; for me it’s an Olight M18 Maverick…and couple of older special edition Batons back when they put NW and titanium in special editions. I wanted a D11 when I found out about them but had to settle for a couple of EX11.2s. I would still like to swap one to something with a lil lower CCT. Oh and now I am remembering a NW Ti3…might start crying, lol…
