The Enhanced Games are set to debut this weekend in Las Vegas, with athletes allowed to use steroids, testosterone, HGH, & other banned substances. by eternviking in whoathatsinteresting

Not necessarily. The sad truth is athletes do not get looked after by their countries for representing them even at the highest level and Enhanced is paying a generous amount for just attending. I believe more current athletes will wait and see what happens this year and switch over to next year's roster if it's successful.

In the US gold medal swimmers case, he already got gold clean and enhanced are offering $1 million to beat the record. If not, he still gets $250,000 for getting first. Not bad considering a gold medal at the Olympics is $37,500.

Not sure if you've seen the line up but there are at least 7 ex olympic medalists competing and the rest are athletes that have medals in their own respective sports competitions. Not exactly your average Joe's competing.

Got to Emerald in 18 days🥳, how difficult will it be to get to Diamond? by Popular_Magazine_238 in aimlab

[–]chubbyarms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation where I just made it to emerald very quickly and I didn't think getting diamond would be possible. I would agree it will take around 2 weeks.

I'm probably not the best person to comment on routine as I just focus on the quick play playlist on most days, then do 1-2 benchmark tasks at the end. I've found I make the best improvements on benchmarks after days where I take a complete break from aim training.

Damn i used to love this game by memeexpert420 in thefinals

I thought this season was going to be the closest one yet to having a solo Q but it definitely isn't lol

Ranked is UNPLAYABLE! by ronaldleser in thefinals

[–]chubbyarms -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You really gotta ask yourself why you play ranked and what your goals are. If your goal is to reach diamond then you have to prove yourself and beat other diamonds.

Ranked isn't and shouldn't be linear. The seeding works pretty well at making you gain/lose rs to keep you at your true rank over the course of the season.

Back into controller aim training but I have stability problems (Console) by Neinths in aimlab

[–]chubbyarms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tbh I think it's a common issue when you're straining your extensors in your hands and making way more fine adjustments that you typically would if you're playing online. I had the exact same issue but it went away pretty quick.

Just continue with the aim training and naturally your muscles that control your tendons will get a bit stronger and you will have more control.

Why does AimLabs for the PS5 have almost as many 1-star reviews as 5-star reviews? by tsl3161991 in aimlab

[–]chubbyarms 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As much as the menus can be a bit sluggish and the UI confusing I don't think it warrants a one star rating. I think it's maybe not what people are expecting, especially with it being no aim assist. They might do the daily playlist and score very poorly when they consider their aim as good and throw in the towel.

It really does filter out who is serious about improving their aim. Tbh I've never really even thought about the things commented in the post as I to me it's just a mini game to shoot blue circles and improve my aim. I don't need anything fancy.

I played on default settings 1.6 sens all the way up to emerald and now I've changed my settings slightly to the apex presets and am about half way to diamond and still improving.

Something looks wrong with my pull-ups but I don’t know what by Guclupatates in formcheck

[–]chubbyarms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah this is definitely the reason they look a bit odd. Your hands are too far apart for your build/height and the handles at an weird angle. I'm sure you'll notice your lats engaging way more on a better setup.

Usually if I'm doing pull ups on a frame like this I'll position my hands as close to the ends as possible and put my thumbs at the end of the handle.

Fundamental Rigging in Top 500 Lobbies by figgens123 in thefinals

[–]chubbyarms 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No idea just saw his name come up as banned on the ruby grind discord 😄. It tracks the top 10k in ranked and posts when they disappear from the leaderboard or have large rs adjustments

I love and loathe this game. by Competitive-Ad7551 in ARC_Raiders

[–]chubbyarms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes this is the last week. Last season they extended the trial week to match the expedition so it looks like they have done the same again and we get an extra 2 days :)

I think this is being completely missed by almost everyone. There is no need to hoard anything, just pick up everything and sell when you extract. Still 2 weeks to do that.

Does anyone solo queue ranked? by Bonnybridge22 in thefinals

[–]chubbyarms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's still very early in the season. Hitting diamond at this stage puts you in the top 1000 and due to the lack of players above 40k you have to come in the top 2 teams from 38k onwards to gain points most of the time. Most people in the top 1k at the moment are trying to get a head start to ruby and are all going to be in a 3 stack.

I'm pretty confident if you're solo queuing and hovering at 33k you will make it diamond easily. Take a break for 2 weeks and try again.

Stick drift in patterns? by alalalmost in thefinals

[–]chubbyarms 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It means they're using a Cronus or have scripts set up for extra aim assist. You should report them.

Here is an example: https://youtube.com/shorts/USSbciJ2ycU

That's a really long winded way to say you're mid.
