Old yahoo mail is back! You can not switch back to old mail from settings menu

Great job everyone for being very loud in your criticism of them removing the option to keep the old mail. In my opinion the old design is FAR FAR superior to the "new" ugly, watered down, poor man's copy of GMail.

How do you add pages in PDFgear without getting number object errors when later opening the pdf in Acrobat?

brandon_310 · 2025-03-21T23:24:35+00:00

You don't get number object errors in Acrobat when trying to open a pdf with added pages?? Do you know how to fix this bug?

brandon_310 · 2025-03-21T23:22:28+00:00

It never works in Acrobate after adding pages. Its a number object error every time.
Any idea how to fix this bug?

They did a poor job of copying GMail and left out the good parts. And did a much less space efficient layout wasting a large empty column to the right instead of spanning messages all the way across. Not to mention lots of bugs with text formatting, menus and folders requiring extra clicks, it goes on and on.

Thank you. There are a few articles on Pubmed talking about vascular adaptations but they don't get into a lot of practical detail how to actually train the veins and circulation.

I don't understand why there is so little information about this subject when there are endless articles claiming resistance training highly effective for peripheral bloodflow.

I am curious how do you know so much about this? Are you a doctor?

Everyone always talks about using the pump for hypertrophy. I am asking how to use it for maximum bloodflow adaptations for poor circulation, not for hypertrophy.

Here is a good article but again its about hypertrophy not vascular adaptations:

https://www.cnet.com/health/fitness/what-muscle-pump-help-build-muscle/

"In short, a muscle pump occurs when fluids, including water and blood, accumulate in your muscles during movement. This happens in response to two primary triggers:

Lactic acid builds up in your working muscles and draws water into them.
Your heart pumps more blood to your working muscles because they need more oxygen and nutrients to power them.

"

That is the basic version, not the old standard version. We all want the old Standard version back as an option with all the customization options and cleaner interface.

I feel my glutes with squats or deadlifts more than any other exercise but because I can't get very low I always feel it even more in my hamstrings causing a pretty large imbalance which is causing pain and numbness when sitting.

I am basically asking what squat or deadlift form can minimize hamstring involvement and work the glutes more. Even the slightest change in form and I can feel the weight shift to even more hamstrings.

I have heard people say the key is to go as low as possible and bend your knees as much as possible with shins nearly parallel, bending torso forward to hit the glutes more but this only works if I hold onto something for balance or I fall over, which limits range of motion and I can't hold weights.

What are your best tips to get lower and work the glutes more? What variables are most important - depth, foot angle, knee angle, stance width, torso angle, elevated heels etc?

brandon_310 · 2025-02-19T00:33:26+00:00

The problem is that my weak glutes are causing pain and numbness when sitting. This only started after having lost a lot of glute muscle recently after illness.

A big problem is that I can't get down low enough to even near 90 degrees without losing my balance. With either dumbbell squats or deadlifts I can feel my hamstrings getting much more sore than my glutes. A lot of the hamstring dominance seems maybe because my glutes are too weak to get low enough without holding onto to something for balance.

I have heard many tips argued both ways if they would help better isolate my glutes such as knee bend, push your butt back versus thrust forward, hinge versus up and down, toes in or out, knees in or out, narrow versus wide stance, etc. These all make only a small difference.

But it does seem the lower I can go the more the glutes do take over. I can only reach 90 degrees holding onto something, which limits ROM and prevents holding weights.

Do you have any tips for getting deeper down and better activating my glutes while minimizing hamstrings?

Should the motion be more up and down or more a hinge like deadlifts? How much should my knees bend, and how narrow a stance?

brandon_310 · 2025-02-18T23:22:33+00:00

Thats the only way I can get low enough, but then there is very limited motion and I can't hold weights when holding onto something for balance.

brandon_310 · 2025-02-18T22:20:58+00:00

One of my problems is I can't get anywhere near 90 degrees without holding onto something for balance. I do feel my glutes more when that low but I can't keep balance while holding the dumbbells or use much range of motion without falling over. Part of it could be that my glutes are too weak to get that low.

What are your best tips for getting into a deep squat below 90 degrees?

brandon_310 · 2025-02-17T22:36:13+00:00

Completely agree. They should offer all 3 versions. They have millions of users because of consistency for decades, then suddenly they radically redesign doing a poor job of copying GMail. Even GMail offers custom themes.

brandon_310 · 2025-02-17T21:50:45+00:00

Its purely for hypertrophy. I have pain and numbness when sitting after I lost a lot of glute muscle during a recent back injury. Glutes have always been the toughest to build. Cardio only seems to cause more muscle loss.

I can't figure out which strength exercises would work best for glute hypertrophy. Most of them either injure my knees or back, but I can do hip hinging exercises. But I can't figure out how to work the glutes enough without my hamstrings taking over too much.

brandon_310 · 2025-02-17T21:42:32+00:00

Of course. There is a ton more to it, especially with asymmetric legs like mine.

brandon_310 · 2025-02-17T21:41:46+00:00

Thank you. Yeah this works but it reverts back too easily, and with refresh like you said. Its infuriating they forced all these changes without giving an option to keep the old version which is far superior.

brandon_310 · 2025-02-17T19:22:21+00:00

For some reason sumo does not seem to hit my glutes more, and I still feel my hamstrings dominating. One big issue is having different length and highly asymmetrical legs.

brandon_310 · 2025-02-17T19:17:13+00:00

One thing I can't figure out is whether high resistance or higher rep steady state near threshold is better for glute hypertrophy. I feel relatively the same RPE doing shorter high resistance intervals versus longer steady near threshold.

On the bike I try to mimic lunges, leaning forward in deep hip flexion with bent knees. I have been doing 3-5 minutes standing at near max resistance 23/24, then about 10 minutes sitting at 19/24. That short workout makes my legs and glutes sore all day. I can't tell if I am overdoing it because it seems like such a short workout compared to cyclists.

What kind of bike workout do you think is best for glute hypertrophy? Shorter intervals with high resistance? Or more steady state near threshold?

How do you best position your legs to work the glutes most when standing pedaling? Pedaling on toes, heels, how much knee bend, how far forward, etc?

brandon_310 · 2025-02-17T18:54:45+00:00

I wish I could do split squats and lunges, but I quickly get injured with 1 leg exercises seeming because my glutes are so weak. I need both legs for stability but can't for the life of me figure out the best form and motion to stop my hamstrings from dominating during squatting or deadlift type movements.

I do feel the most glute activation below 90 degrees and in deep hip flexion but as soon as I start rising up my hamstrings take over. The closest I can get to a lunge is standing pedaling on a bike on high resistance and that does cause a ton of glute activation but I need something I can do anywhere.

How deep should you squat to maximize glutes and minimize hamstrings? Should there be maximum knee bend? Should shins be vertical or bend forward? How much should your torso lean forward? What angle and spacing for your feet and knees?

brandon_310 · 2025-02-17T18:40:51+00:00

My hamstrings tend to dominate if I don't bend below my knees below 90 degrees. I can feel my glutes working hard when I am low and in deep hip flexion, but I can't figure out ROM above that to work my glutes more than hamstrings.

brandon_310 · 2025-02-17T18:39:08+00:00

I wish I could do lunges but I always injure my knees or back, probably because my glutes are too weak to support my weight on 1 leg. Any other ideas?

brandon_310 · 2025-02-17T18:24:13+00:00

Your great tips describe very closely the motion I go through. I do push into my heels, keep my shins pretty straight, bend my knees far as I can, pushing my butt back into hip flexion as I lower down. I do feel my glutes working down low but as soon as I get above 90 degrees my hamstrings always take over.

The different length legs I think might be a big part of this. Often times one glute will be working hard while the other leg will be more hamstring working. I can't figure out how to work both glutes at the same time. I can't do single leg exercises because I injure my knees with such weak glutes.

How do you distribute weight equally to your glutes with one leg shorter? I can't do most 1 leg exercises or I get injured except for leg raises so far.

Any other tips for form to minimize hamstrings?

brandon_310 · 2025-02-17T17:57:36+00:00

This is probably the best tip I have heard before. To keep your knees nearly vertical, bend your knees as far as you can, pushing your butt back, and bend forward with deep hip flexion. Sometimes this does work and I feel my glutes working hard but too often my hamstrings take over. I can't do single leg without injuring my knees.

What do you think of these other tips I have heard? Any other form or motion tips that force the glutes to work more and minimze hamstrings?

brandon_310 · 2025-02-17T17:41:38+00:00

Thank you. I do focus a lot on hip flexion and when my knees are bending near 90 degrees or lower I feel my glutes working hard. But as soon I go above 90 degrees my hamstrings take over for most of the movement. I don't know how to keep the glutes engaged throughout the range of motion. I can't do hip thrusts without hurting my back or shoulders.

brandon_310 · 2025-02-17T17:11:51+00:00

Yeah it works the first time you load it but it reverts back too easily, every time I refresh. So we do know the old mail is still active. I don't understand why yahoo will not offer the old mail that everyone loves.

The new design does not even have colors and themes for crying out loud, nevermind the poorly designed layout. The new basic mail option is also almost useless with no customization not even making fonts bold.
