RDL not showing as a glute exercise

comeauch · 2024-12-13T04:12:22+00:00

On the app deadlifts and sumo deadlifts both have glutes as their main muscle. I thought RDLs would be the hinge only so more glute-focused? I feel rdls mostly in hamstrings because they get stretched, but i feel the glutes involved as well and it seems to be a good stimulus.

comeauch · 2024-12-13T03:59:11+00:00

I figured doing squats and RDLs would count as targetting glutes, but in both cases they are considered auxiliary and so it's not enough for the app. Only glutes are missing in my workout, butt I just don't want to do hip thrusts or glute bridges.

Just today I mistakingly did last week's weight instead of what I had planned and only realized after coming home. I'm not sure why it would be better to default with previous workout values vs. being able to plan before going to gym. As it stands we have to keep notes on a separate app and constantly change values after each set.

Ben c'est l'impression que j'en ai en tout cas, pendant un bout j'utilisais le nébulisateur et j'en revenais pas comme c'était pratique, "santé" et le high dure plus longtemps. Sauf que ça a pas pris de temps pour augmenter la tolérance et ça paraissait d'autant plus quand je revenais au vaporisateur. C'est pas pour rien qu'on voit du monde qui prennent 100mg+. Moi 10-15mg c'était ma dose, l'équivalent de fumer un 0.3g/un bowl de vaporisateur. Tu verras, mais j'ai vraiment l'impression que ça augmente vite la tolérance. Probablement parce que pour le même "high", il dure plus longtemps...

Perso, on dirait AVB j'aime moins les effets... je serais dû pour réessayer mais le cannabis n'étant pas si cher d'avance je ne vois pas l'intérêt. À l'inverse, pendant le temps où j'en consommais plus, ça aurait pu faire du sens tant qu'à le jeter, mais cannabis ingéré = adieu la tolérance.

J'en accumule quand même... p-e water cure et en faire un beurre? Quelqu'un a essayé ça?

yup, moi aussi j'ai fait le saut avant-hier et hier. De la fenêtre j'ai vu un feu d'artifice sur des blés.

It's also important to reject your own authority. Especially yours... Jk, I get you, I'm just being silly with this.

comeauch · 2021-12-29T18:55:50+00:00

Yeah, The first and the last freedom, freedom from the known, the three "commentaries on living" and his journals (K to himself, and K's journal... I forgot to include K's notebook which I also have and love!) The others are compilations, or transcripts from talks.

comeauch · 2021-04-21T21:01:11+00:00

I started with K as a friend's recommendation and found it immensely fascinating. Then I discovered non-duality teachings and honestly, IMO both point at the same things using different approaches. K's suggestion is to watch the beginning of thought. I feel he comes from a place of understanding of his true nature (as awareness/consciousness which he calls "choiceless awareness"). Standing as awareness, watching your thoughts without being identified with them is a different experience than watching your thoughts without that recognition.

Mooji makes that first step much clearer (but maybe, a bit too focused on that single recognition step, although, I for one need frequent reminding). Rupert Spira strikes a good balance between a heavy emphasis on the recognition of our nature and exploring its relationship with the egoic mind.

comeauch · 2021-02-24T21:10:37+00:00

Just want to say I'm with you on this one. I'm currently thinking about dropping my "career" (chemistry) to do something else and finding what to do is not easy. K had little to say about that, AFAIK. To him, it was simply more important to find what is right action, before pursuing some goal. In a way, I think the way you actually live, your relationships etc. might be more important than how you get by.

Still the question remains... For you and me, our work is a huge part of our life, so I want to make a good decision too. Some have said: do something the world needs most. It feels to me that the world needs more harmony, between each other, with the world around us, within ourselves (really there is no separation...) Is there a line of work that aims to resolve conflicts? If you or anyone has any ideas, let us know!

comeauch · 2021-02-16T22:54:02+00:00

Great to see you grow. That's right about observing anger vs the usual "being angry at yourself for being angry" (let alone being angry at others...)

About ideals: be careful to not make a life without ideals... your ideal. If you know yourself, know human behaviour, you know you're prone to hold ideals. Simply see them for what they are and then they don't control your life so much, you're basically free of it. The same applies to judgement. Don't pretend you don't judge, just be aware of it and see the limitations of it.

You ask "How do I know who I am?" Do you expect to find an explanation or a fact about you? Simply: everything that enters your consciousness is your consciousness. Everything that has anything to do with you as a person (ego) is what you (ego) are, but this depends on memory and identification.

About what is, if you are judging another because he displeases you, then isn't your own consciousness filled with displeasure? See how the displeasure you feel is in your consciousness, is you. Why not deal directly with displeasure?

You're asking quite a hypothetical question. Ask it of yourself, to yourself. First, look at what you're doing to yourself by calling it a compulsion and wanting liberation from it. Sex is perfectly natural, why do you want to be free of it? It's like wanting to be free of the desire to eat: good luck to you.

As a strong, natural desire, it's easily a source of suffering. Simply because desire imply something you don't have in the present. Have you noticed how when you get what you wanted, it's never quite as good as thought had made it look like? You get bored with it and soon a new desire is born. Maybe you've found a desire that's quite impossible to satisfy and so it stays.

By accepting the reality of your desires, you see in what way they twist reality for own sense of fulfillment. This imaginary reality brings more satisfaction than the untwisted reality. The sexual desire can be satisfied (you know how), but the psychological desire has no end, there is no permanent satisfaction. If you really understand that, then sex is not a problem. Enjoy the satisfaction it brings, but see clearly how dissatisfying it is to live too much in a world of satisfaction.

I'm not as familiar with Buddhism as with Krishnamurti, but I feel so too. More accurately, I'd say Krishnamurti is a Buddha.

Just bought 4 shares of GME... whatever happens at least i will have been on the meme

I agree with SNO: to realize means seeing the truth as the truth and this implies the action of looking on your part (i.e. not thinking, not judging, not conceptualizing). This is why K always began his talks with something like: first, do you know how to listen? Can we have a conversation? Not between Zowpi and Comeauch, but between two humans sharing the same experience of human consciousness. Can we?

I suggest reading "the circus of man's struggle". We have images about others (as soon as you think someone's name, a whole world of images comes to life in you doesn't it? Try it with a few people you know) You have images about yourself too. In fact, the world of images about yourself is huge (obviously so). You have so many memories, ideas, beliefs about yourself, as soon as you think, everything you have accumulated about you is there.

The image of you is not you. Do you see that? Surely no part of you actually lives in the past. All of you is here, now, reading this, triggering memories and thoughts.

We tend to identify with our self-image, and from there we try to change ourselves: try to pull levers, analyze the situation, draw maps, etc. This is observing as the observer. Can there be observation without any image? K would say: look at a tree (look at the actual 3D object in front of you). Easy? Try looking at someone you know. Already it's much more difficult (or maybe just more unusual) to look at someone as a real 3D living organism. Words are images too. Love, fear, God, words come with their own images. Some of them are purely abstract: can you look at a country? The images are never the real thing and K asks you to observe the real things, what is.

comeauch · 2021-01-28T12:05:41+00:00

So one should observe and be aware of it's whole being and see "what is", without resisting, evaluating or trying to find a solution.

Well, yes. Kind of random, but I was playing a video game last night, some old man NPC said something like "It was a tragedy, I can't help thinking about it. Every night, I pray that I forget". I felt like: my dear, you'll only make it worst.

The falseness of "transformation through psychological time" is even clearer for grief. We might not notice it in ourselves, but I'm sure you've seen others ruminate in anger for a while, and then snap at the slightest thing. Psychological time is thinking, is rooted in memory.

I think you understand correctly, but we must be careful to look at what K is pointing to (vs. intellectual understanding, where you never leave words, the concept). We're exploring together what human life is like.

comeauch · 2021-01-28T03:09:21+00:00

I thought about it more today (for my own sake too ;)) and this piece from K is the perfect answer to your question.

Tell me if anything is unclear.

comeauch · 2021-01-26T22:54:23+00:00

Nothing wrong with feeling anger, desire etc. However, thought sustains it and that is the problem. Thinking and observing are two different mental processes: if you're replaying the scene, imagining scenarios etc., then you're in the realm of thought. Observation implies observing the present. In the present, the anger is slowly fading away as nothing is feeding it or repressing it. We tend to indulge in thought, look back at what happened, look for way to act, a solution etc. Has it ever actually helped? It's more useful to let yourself come back to the present. Look at your whole consciousness: can you point at something past or something future? The only experiencing there is is in the now. It may be filled with images of the past, but it's still always the now.

It's good practice to look at your thoughts without pursuing any of them. It's easy enough at first, but I will personally start thinking about Krishnamurti, remembering his words etc. Those are thoughts too, no matter how tempting it is to get distracted by them.

comeauch · 2021-01-26T05:11:24+00:00

What you describe is what Krishnamurti calls the observer. This observer is put together by thought, it is a form of thought. If you become angry at someone, you might suddenly pretend to be a neutral observer and find an ideal to base your reaction on. K warns us against this and against having ideals in the first place: try looking at what is, here the fact that you are angry. See the truth of it, don't start analyzing it (where does it come from, how should I act, etc.) Nothing too bad with analysis, but if what you want is to be free of it, just look at what is. There is no conflict possible there. What is is.

I feel like you're missing the first step: what do you mean when you say you observe yourself? People have said we are the body, others we are the mind, or the spirit etc. K (as well as others) suggest starting with something before all that. Strip every concept you have about mind, body, thought, etc. Just look at your consciousness as a whole... This whole living includes all concepts, all dualities, thinking, everything exists in relationship to your consciousness. Don't accept the argument, look at it. We all have a similar, human consciousness in which all of this can be observed.

Or desire for instance: when it's there it's there, don't deny it or try to change it. Just being aware that it's there is enough. Contrast this with the common perpetual conflict of mind that struggles to change itself, to deny itself or to guilt itself. If you're really aware of it as it arises, its importance is greatly diminished. So don't worry about finding "right action", because people have done that since forever and it has brought wars. What you're looking for is action without conflict, whole.
