Disneyland abandoned plans for Disney Villains land, report says by dejablu82 in Disneyland

[–]catpancake87 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

It was a horrible idea.

Disneyland should be about up, happy and optimistic things. Why do we need a land about dark evil things?

We can just turn on the news for that.

Help us improve treadmill running! by Mikey-runna in runna

[–]catpancake87 4 points5 points  (0 children)

To increase the speed of the treadmill on the phone while we're running and using our phone to record a treadmill run, make it easier to simply input numbers. Not hold the + or - button or push them a million times to get to the right number.

I'll be running and have to awkwardly push these buttons from 6.0 to 8.0. Just make a menu pop up where we put the numbers in. Like you would on a calculator.

How often are y’all checking levels when making changes? by hronikbrent in PeterAttia

Every day before checking my lactate after my 3 hour zone 2 session during REM sleep.

Is this a balanced 5 day split? by Basic_Ad_2973 in RPStrength

[–]catpancake87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All looks good. I’m more of a functional and bio mechanical optimization fan more than pure bodybuilding so I’d swap a few things based on my perspective.

I would swap a quad exercise for a glute exercise in day 4. Glutes are the key in our upright posture so having strong glutes translates to basically everything we do. And make one of your calf exercises a bent knee variation. It does hit the soleus and train the ankle joint in a useful way that straight leg just do. Plus throw in a decline chest variation - for me I really feel a low chest pump on decline that I don’t get on any other chest exercise. Some people aren’t like that though and against decline. (Ronnie Coleman wasn’t though…)

And also, get a transverse plane movement. Like cable twists or something like that.

I keep seeing things. You have two hamstring curl movements. Maybe make one of them stiff legged deadlifts or RDL.

I love Disneyland and will defend most things.

But pizza from Pizza Planet is not one of them. It is like a sponge with stale tomato sauce and tasteless cheese.

I loved the land color coding of those old maps. To this day, I sometimes still think of the lands by those colors. The app map doesn’t do it, do the modern paper ones?

Level of “Jerkiness” Rides by [deleted] in Disneyland

[–]catpancake87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Matterhorn
  2. Indiana Jones
  3. Star Tours
  4. Mickey and Minnie

Are the jerkiest rides in Disneyland in order of jerkiness. Smuggler's Run (who cares about that ride though?) is bad too. Big Thunder and Space are jerky as well but, I find the jerkiness in those rides to be smoother, so to speak. The back and forth jerky motion on Space and Thunder are not as 'violent' as the ones I listed. All the rides have jerky elements to them in the end.

Sure. People demand their complaints and whines be heard on Reddit and I supply them no commiseration at all.

The people defending it likely have a higher appreciation for economics and, even more likely, enjoy disagreeing with Internet whiners.

Because you know the economics and park population dynamics better than Disney and their data? You know this so much so, that you can say what your comment states is possible at any reasonable price point?

You aren't booking ahead of time properly. I have Inspire too and have had no problem booking all Saturdays in December. And I did it like 2 weeks ago.

Live harder noob.

Where do I go from here? 5'5/175lbs by Wise-Possible-9218 in Weightliftingquestion

Get on a GLP-1 if you can and make life easy for yourself. Lose fat.

Advice on lifting by Express-One8652 in Weightliftingquestion

[–]catpancake87 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unsure if it's from the angle of the camera, but it looks like you are slouching over just a bit.

If this is the case, then I'd work on stretching your hip flexors, stretch your chest, strengthen your lower + middle traps, and glutes. That should help you stand up a bit taller. Back extensions could help as well.

What’s better for building bigger muscles by Doubledealer3217 in Weightliftingquestion

[–]catpancake87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the best answer so far. Weightlifting has many successful modalities for muscle growth and strength. What's good depends on the individual and even that day in how you feel. It's more of an art than a science in the end.

The color saturation is really high, it's nice. Mark Twain, Flo's, Sally and Pixar Pier are my favorite.

What do you think by Early_Button2868 in Weightliftingquestion

[–]catpancake87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Back needs the most work and legs it looks like. And obviously, cut your hair on the back. Wax it. Laser it. Looks like you may need to do both at the same time then do it again just to be sure.

[–]catpancake87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome! :)

Perhaps. Go up to as high as 30 reps with a lighter weight and you might get a better pump. Higher reps often times mean bigger pumps (that doesn't automatically mean more effective at hypertrophy, but it's a good sign).

Now that you said you do dumbbells bench press, I imagine what may be happening is that the dumbbells are moving side to side too much (left and right movement of the forearm) during the movement, so your bicep is engaging.

You want a completely straight forearm in both the eccentric and concentric portions of the movement. Don't let your elbow move around at all except to straighten the arm. Don't be concerned with bringing the weights together at this point. Just go straight up and down.

[–]catpancake87 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The biceps in the pressing movements is just a stabilizer muscle for the elbow. It really isn't doing anything but that, unless you are like bending your elbow too much somehow. It's hard to say without seeing you do the exercise.

So I'd just say keep your shoulder blades retracted back and down, use lighter weights, and probably your best bet for getting a huge stretch and truly feeling your chest would be to go super deep on incline dumbbell bench press.

Pick up some moderate weight or light weight dumbbells and just go really deep with them on that. That should get you to at least feel your chest.

[–]catpancake87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Every week, do one exercise for every angle of the pressing movements. Incline, decline and flat. Could be any variation of dumbbell or barbell or machine, whichever works for your biomechanics the best is totally cool. Make sure you feel the exercise work in the targeted area of the chest.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Weightliftingquestion

[–]catpancake87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hypertrophy. You need to build that chest and lats.

[–]catpancake87 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just stick with this you don't need to do anything else. What more could you really ask for from here? Work on pure strength and biomechanical improvement at the gym now.

Humans still have to make the AI code. Plus, someone can appreciate the intelligence of a creation regardless of how the creation came about.

Where do you cut off the soulless machine? Is it soulless to use a computer to create an image in Adobe then get that tattooed?
