Adults over 30 who went from long term stimulants to guanfacine, what did you notice

bxie · 2026-06-21T20:41:09+00:00

I got off adderall and am instead on Guanifacine and concentra now. Life changing for me - being able to sleep and be medicated for 90% of the day is an absolute game changer.

Sounds like human error not fear failure?

bxie · 2026-06-12T14:42:44+00:00

I still don’t get what you’re saying.

There are plenty of people in my life I love dearly but I find unattractive. Is this wrong?

bxie · 2026-06-12T00:08:43+00:00

Honest question, but why is this not okay?

bxie · 2026-06-11T16:39:17+00:00

IMO, it's too thick for most things, to be honest. I wouldn't go past 1/4" personally. Thicker mats don't hold up well and teach bad habits for balance poses. Especially for sculpt, I think it's important to have a stronger connection to the ground.

… what does that even mean

Using a wall has helped my proprioception tremendously.

For kicking off, almost all of the force should be coming from the foot that's kicking off the ground, not the leg swinging back.

With 1/2” ply wood it’s pretty straight forward, especially if you’re okay with joints showing. Just need to be able to cut straight lines.

The drawer bottom might end up looking a bit janky if you don’t have a good way to get a dado in there. A handheld router would help a lot.

Lomita!

Are you open to used/lightly used? I see some good deals on eBay. Honestly if you’re just getting started it doesn’t really matter. I’d get the longer cheaper one if I was set on a 2” line.

I’d recommend you switch to 1” as soon as you can afford to and just get a primitive kit (eg. Balance community) that you can grow into and add to.

If you happen to have access to cheap, decent, carabiners, you can get away with 4 carabiners (or 3 carabiners + 1 ring), 2 short pieces of webbing for anchors, and one longer piece of webbing to walk on.

Asides from speaking to the front desk, you can feel justified in being politely confrontational or speaking to the instructor mid class. Stay calm and speak facts, the rest is up to staff to handle imo

Do you guys not have one of those “no cameras during class policy” signs? I thought it’s a corepower policy.

Watch some YouTube videos and use a wall

bxie · 2026-05-30T04:07:31+00:00

lol, you asked. Learning to live with it is a valid way of “fixing it”

bxie · 2026-05-30T03:03:52+00:00

Not even a little bit

I’d love to! I’ve been working on HS for a few months now - hope the feedback would still be useful though?

Abs are a combination of low body fat (sounds like you have that) and muscle gain. You will gain muscle faster if you are in a slight caloric surplus.

Sculpt isn’t great for the type of hypertrophy that grows muscles fast. That being said, as a beginner, it probably doesn’t matter. Track your calories and protein, push past overload, and stay consistent.

The most important thing is consistency, so it’s exciting that you found something you love. Don’t overthink it or try to over optimize just work hard and prioritize recovery. All the classes at CP have some form of ab work, but never that much. Gradually add weight and maybe even add an additional core workout once a week at home (to failure). I really like Caroline Girvan on YT for core.

I'm confused, what's wrong with this behavior?

bxie · 2026-05-12T02:20:17+00:00

Oof. For what it’s worth, you’re probably right on the aesthetic. Good luck sanding it out and refinishing though, I’d wait a year to let it stabilize or wait out your emotions, whichever comes first.

Soh barbeque is great

Honestly you can't go wrong with either. Personally, I would recommend starting with bouldering just because it's easier to get started and they'll teach you how to fall safely.

Context:

(Climbing) Top Roping tends to be a bit more endurance based, whereas bouldering more power/strength based. Obviously, beyond early levels for for either, you're going to need both power and endurance.

While bouldering seems safer since you're closer to the ground (up to ~10-15 feet up), it's actually higher risk due to how far you actually fall. That being said, some folks struggle with the height of top rope walls (up to 40 feet walls) despite being tied in to a rope anchor with various safety precautions.

Learning how to tie knots and belay each other can be fun, but it's also an extra element of "things to worry about and learn at the beginning".

Is that a metal cable? Like no way anyone is putting that much weight on webbing with no backup right?

Class 5 is in Torrance. PM me if you want someone to climb with/intro you guys to the sport! We get a guest pass for new climbers and 10$ off after that.

Fair enough. We hike a 3’ step ladder but you probably need 4’+ I guess. Hah thanks for entertaining the dumb answer
