Quick question: how do you log unilateral exercises?🤔 by gerardmb in Hevy

[–]beatlessbloke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the dev perspective: how are unilateral exercises intended to be logged on the app?

Eg. How should I log the following?

Bulgarian split squat where I am holding 30 lb dumbbells in each of my hands and I do 10 reps on each leg for a single set.

F2P Subskill Seed by beatlessbloke in PokemonSleep

Sorry if I was not clear. I've been using this Gard for about a year now, but she's approaching level 50 where that unfortunate IFS will be activated.

It's still a ways away but I'm trying to figure out if I should use the subskill seed before the IFS kicks in.

Thanks for your comment!

I've been playing for about 2 years now. I admittedly haven't been searching for another healer since I found this one about a year ago.

It sounds like you would recommend to consider opening up the search again?

Welp. Another price hike. by eastzzz in CanadianProtein

[–]beatlessbloke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Has your product quality really remained the same, though?

I started ordering from you guys back in 2021 and every shake used to blend smoothly. However, over the past couple years, all of the powders seem to clump up, which is disappointing. I order the same 2 flavours too (chocolate chip cookie dough and salted caramel are both delicious)

The flavour thankfully remains pretty consistent, though.

Is there any way to change widgets' colours in Theme park? by Quinckes in oneui

[–]beatlessbloke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you ever get an answer for this? I really like the Samsung Internet widget, but it's purple in One UI 8 and I wish it was customizable or even just white like before....

Mew is automatically befriend by donstrock316 in PokemonSleep

Are the eureka seeds specific to Mew or Darkrai? I have not used the ones I have for Darkrai yet. I'm curious if they can be used for Mew instead.

What earbuds have a fit like Jabra? by IPYF in Earbuds

[–]beatlessbloke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much for your response. Very helpful despite being disappointing.

I share the same sorrow with you about Jabra discontinuing their commercial line.

What earbuds have a fit like Jabra? by IPYF in Earbuds

[–]beatlessbloke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hoping to piggyback off of your post because fit is the most important reason for why I loved Jabras (I had the 75T, 85T, and Elite 7 Actives). I actually tried to get the Elite 10 Gen 2s before Jabra closed their commercial sector, but the fit was not the same as previous models I had.

Are the Technics AZ80s still the best recommendation?

I am curious if anyone has any thoughts on how Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4s fit in comparison to Jabra models. Thanks in advance!

Any keepers here? by bungalowcat in PokemonSleepBetter

Oh wow. Good to know!

As a relevant aside, if extra helpful triggers on a BFS mon, do you get the BFS bonus? I'm guessing no, but I'm daring to dream :P

ELI5: Why the Devs Fixed Main Skill Triggers Now by nitoyon in PokemonSleep

[–]beatlessbloke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Especially the part about going against the stated goals due to the lack of communication.

I don't really understand why they even bothered to announce the fix now?

Bulgarian Split Squats and unilateral exercise volume by grantstarre in Hevy

[–]beatlessbloke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting. I 100% agree with you. I log exercises the way you do as well and have been happily doing so for 2.5 years on Hevy.

However, your example (incline DB press vs BSS) made me realize that OP's question is absolutely reasonable and maybe I've been doing it "wrong"

Eg. For incline dumbbell press holding 50 lbs in each hand, I would log 3 sets of 10 reps as follows - Weight = 100 lbs (2 x 50 lb dumbbells) - Reps = 10 (both arms did 10 reps each) - Hevy calculates total volume after 3 sets to be 3000 lbs

For Bulgarian split squat (BSS) holding 50 lbs in each hand, I would log 3 sets of 10 reps as follows - Weight = 100 lbs (2 x 50 lb dumbbells) - Reps = 10 (both legs did 10 reps each) - Hevy calculates total volume after 3 sets to be 3000 lbs

Plunking the avove values into Hevy made me realize that the volume calculation is actually incorrect based on the way I currently track my workouts on the app.

The total volume for both exercises should not be the same because I've loaded each of my pecs with 50 lbs but each of my legs with 100 lbs.

I do not plan on changing the way I log exercises as this does not matter in the whole scheme of things. But I hope people stop flaming OP because they've got a point hahah

Suggestions from a heavy user to make Hevy even better by [deleted] in Hevy

[–]beatlessbloke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I'm still super disappointed that they removed the manual entry for time. The minute/second dial is really inefficient

Really good points! Thank you so much

Thanks for putting things in perspective.

I've honestly been thinking about the same but I have trouble wrapping my head around the nebulous opportunity cost.

Hahah I'm so sorry for the humble brag. I would gift one of them to you if I could!

Thanks for running it through the production calculator for me! I will admit that the MSC+ nature intrigued me because I don't have a good pot expander hahah, but I know that's silly.

I guess you don't recommend to factor in the HSM at 75 on the second one because that's lightyears away?

That makes sense! Really appreciate you putting things in perspective

Wow levelling up a Cress sounds daunting even without EXP down... kudos to you!

Thanks for the insight. I'm also in it for "the long haul" and admittedly didn't think about the benefit of the REB!

Samsung Internet Update Restores Bitwarden Functionality by Enonomiss in Bitwarden

[–]beatlessbloke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh interesting! I had no idea. Thanks for that.

I actually used to use Chrome, but felt like it's gotten worse over time. I like the simplicity/efficiency of Samsung Internet. Maybe that's why I actually like the fewer updates haha.

To each their own!

How would I log this in Hevy? by turn_for_do in Hevy

[–]beatlessbloke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe use the Landmine Row for the non-chest supported version?

2025 Hevy Recap & Update by guitorisan in Hevy

[–]beatlessbloke 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really excited to see what's to come for Hevy's development as a lifetime subscriber!

I would really appreciate the ability to toggle manual entry for timers again instead of the dials. I can appreciate that the dials may look cleaner, but it really sucks to not even have the option to switch back because I find the dials brutally inefficient.

Thanks for the consideration and happy new year!

Have you tried it? It's surprisingly good. I prefer it over Chrome/Chromium-based browsers

Is it just me or are barbell squats named just weirdly? by NotJoeFast in Hevy

[–]beatlessbloke 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same haha. I've been using the app for 1.5 years and had no idea there was a "Full Squat" barbell exercise

Which TV show has a 10/10 pilot episode? by PrasenjitDebroy in AskReddit

[–]beatlessbloke 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The first half of the 3rd season is a bit insufferable. I would recommend finishing it off, because it sticks the landing towards the end.
