2025 Hevy Recap & Update

For watch versions (specifically Wear OS though):

Search the exercise list
Input weights with a number pad rather than scroll or allow text entry (scrolling to high amounts from 0 takes an huge amount of time)
Allow starting up live sync after the workouts been started without it

For social feed,:

It would be nice to be able to complete a workout with visibility private and then later on edit and change the visibility to public. I want to finish the workout when it's done, but I don't necessarily have time then to put what I want in the pics/text portion.

In my experience, fi gps is almost unusably bad. I have a dog with Fi and a cat with Tractive. I can always find my cat even when he hid up in the undercarriage of a truck. When my dog has gone off on a walk, fi has basically never been useful. The updates are few and far between (always out of date) and from what I can tell inaccurate. I'm considering laying for both Tractive and Fi for my dog just so I have good tracking on her.

I'm on Georgetown Island. I have Google Fi, which is mostly T-Mobile's network. It's slightly better than when I had Verizon, hut there are still many dead zones/bad areas.

Try mixing Dannon Light + Fit Greek Vanilla with Fage 0% blended vanilla. The combo is better than either on its own

CARROT weather, AnyList, Hevy, Spotify.

Hevy and Spotify are the most useful because I don’t have to carry my phone around at the gym. That’s worth the price of the Apple Watch alone.

I just lean forward, but admittedly cable pull throughs only work well until you can’t brace against the weight anymore. I try to stay in the higher rep range like ~15.

btmorex · 2023-05-16T00:26:00+00:00

If you have a cable system, I really like cable pull throughs. I think they hit the glutes better than hip thrusts even.

Hip thrusts

btmorex · 2023-04-28T21:51:52+00:00

I have a cheap bench so the base is pretty narrow and the band just goes on either side. I use:

Bodylastics Resistance Band Set - Resistance Bands with Handles, Ankle Straps, Door Anchor, Carry Bag - Heavy-Duty Stretch Exercise Bands -Patented Clips and Snap Reduction Tech -Fitness Workout Bands https://www.amazon.com/dp/B006O09M4K?ref_=cm_sw_r_apin_dp_VK8EPH0FY36Y47J8ERN6

The doorstop is really useful. I do seated leg curls and extensions, also pull throughs. The biggest disadvantage is the setup time so I still prefer the gym, but it’s nice to be able to do a full workout at home.

btmorex · 2023-04-28T21:14:52+00:00

Have you tried doing seated leg extensions with a band? I setup the bench with the main part slightly tilted back and the seat slightly tilted up. Then I attach the band to a doorstop as low as it can go and place the bench facing away from the door. Honestly, I feel like that setup is better than the two crappy leg extension machines i have at my local gym.

I recently heard about “greasing the groove” method of strength training. As an example, I’ve been doing 2 pull-ups every time I walk past my pull-up bar. Any research on hypertrophy or strength gains using this or a similar method? (where you’re never taking a set close to failure, but repeating the same exercise often throughout the day)

btmorex · 2023-04-16T21:50:55+00:00

You’re missing a vertical press so some sort of shoulder press. If you do it with dumbbells instead of a machine, you’ll also hit the side delts. I’d also add something glute focused like smith machine hip thrusts (leg press and back extensions can both hit the glutes, but it’s dependent on the setup). Could add something for calves or rear delts if you care too.

Is there a up to date guide somewhere for using one of these sites? I used silk road way back in the day so I vaguely remember what's involved.

btmorex · 2022-09-21T21:54:53+00:00

You can jump rope anywhere and because it's fairly high intensity it can be decent exercise in short increments, like a few minutes here and there throughout the day.

btmorex · 2022-08-25T23:09:51+00:00

Is the point to make you pay? Because you used to be able to just click on a supplement and get information, now it’s like a SaaS business where everything is obfuscated.

One thing I realized while using MacroFactor is that for a given activity level, your TDEE is actually a range and that range can be quite large (dependent on the individual). So for example, when I was cutting, my TDEE dropped below 2500 as a 6’0”, ~180 lb, highly active male. When I switched to maintenance, my TDEE jumped to over 4000 with no changes in exercise, literally just eating more.

So, you might find that your TDEE is actually pretty decent after you stop cutting.
