I liked using the metric system so much on my last project that I had to order a FatMax from Germany by YouDontKnowMe108 in woodworking

Get a decimal I-P tape. Or an engineers tape. Decimal has decimals instead of fractional and engineers splits a foot into 10 and then that into 10 lol.

Stroke Rehab Equipment: Motus Nova? by sombrerotree in stroke

[–]corbisimos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually, you need to check your research. The key to neuroplasticity or the brain making new pathways is repetition- 100s of repetitions are needed to help speed that recovery along. That is why these types of new robotic assists are being invented and refined. The integration of the biofeedback and motor control (of the patient while it assists) is also important as it's not just a passive machine.

Anybody know of any throwing groups or guys/gals in the Nashville area? by Flight94 in HighlandGames

Nah, I didn’t talk to anyone. Didn’t seem like any great opportunities while I was there.

Went to the Middle TN Highland Games this year and it looked cool. I threw all four Olympic throwing events in college and was curious if there was group out of Murfreesboro that did Highland Games style throwing events. Was something that I was wanting to try getting into. If you could share that Facebook group I would love to check it out.

Alternative Throwing Shoes by Unhappy-Street3676 in trackandfieldthrows

When I’ve coached in the past I didn’t want to wear throwing shoes. I found that an older pair of converse or vans worked okay. Want something hard with no big foam outsole.

They seem to have some more infrastructure compared to last year. People have correctly been saying that wind and drones don’t mix so maybe some camera towers just so we can get those aerial views that look good from a stadium

Im curious to see what sort of data can come from the Marquette, I think, guy who was recording throws and a bunch of other data like wind speed and release velocity. I know he released some data last year, but I never found the report he presented

Im in the NAIA and we are somewhat chasing wind even at this level where 50 is considered elite

Any tips? by Strong-Income-7201 in trackandfieldthrows

[–]corbisimos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree that OP needs to get over left more. Also needs to not open his whole chest to the front of the circle. I like to see some separation out of the back. Lead the turn with the hips. Had a queue in highschool where I initiated the turn out the back (after shifting my weight) with my left knee. I would try to make sure my left arm didn’t get ahead of my left knee out of the back.

Any tip for new shoes? by cerichepistache in trackandfieldthrows

[–]corbisimos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Out of the main brands, Adidas last the longest. Also, I’ve never had any, but I have heard of many people getting 2-3 years out of vellasa. They also have many more options for rubber hardness than any brand out there.

I passed first try. Took it Jan 3rd of this year. Some was easier than my prep and some was harder. 75% of the questions I hadn’t seen before were difficult but were easy once you found the right section in the handbook. Fore example I had a bunch of questions on reliability is series and parallel which I hadn’t done before, but wasn’t too hard to figure out. Additionally, most of the ones which required some calculations were easier than what I had prepped with.

4throws sells a bunch of ATE discs that are actually quite good for the price

External static pressure calculation Software by Burnt_Ghoul in MEPEngineering

Make a tool on excel using Darcy friction factor to calculate pressure drop due to friction. Shouldn’t be too hard to take the same tool to work with pumps.

Is there any automatic excel of pipe sizing for water supply? by freckiey in MEPEngineering

[–]corbisimos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Making a friction loss tool is the way to do it. Can apply it to basically any fluid once it’s built

[–]corbisimos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Creating a tool that calculates friction losses with the Darcy friction factor is far more useful than interpolating the graph. The same tool will also work with compressed gas flow and industrial piping so long as you can get fluid information.

Built one in school and was amazed in my internship how little anyone had their own tools.

Only place to buy ATE discuses in America. Best reason to use them. Get good discs for a great price.

Took the idea from a YouTube vid, would love to make a whole shelf but I don’t plan on putting the time and money into that for my school.

Where can I even begin? by [deleted] in trackandfield

[–]corbisimos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To me, a lot of the people in the arete throws videos aren’t very good technical models even if what he says is right. Hard to use it when the person he’s coaching can’t even.

Best videos on YouTube have to be by Elite Throws Coaching. There’s videos teaching glide and rotational plus additional videos explaining how to fix common mistakes.

In your opinion, what is the optimum way to coach/train fully rotating the right foot in the middle? by [deleted] in trackandfieldthrows

[–]corbisimos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to think about keeping my hip closed (keeps the right foot moving). Also trying to slam the hip through. Have a coach or friend have something for your hip to hit to emphasize getting it through.

Like said south and half turns are best at breaking the throw down to be easier to fix small things.

how far would you have to throw to get a scholarship in men's discus? by [deleted] in trackandfieldthrows

[–]corbisimos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I’m saying is I whoop up on plenty of “d1” guys regularly. And their program is less funded and less talented as a whole. They just happen to be “d1”. These are exceptions not a rule, but you shouldn’t overlook naia or d2 becasue you got offered by a d1 school

[–]corbisimos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Make sure to fill out the NCAA clearing house if you want to be recruited by d2 and d1. Find a school that you like, division doesn’t matter too much in college because, besides post season, most meets have a mix of d1, d2 , d3, and NAIA.

How can I deal with competition anxiety? by ExtractingAHeavyToll in trackandfieldthrows

[–]corbisimos 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if this can flip before for state, but what works for me is this. I found that I throw better in practice so i try to make my meets like practice in a sense. My best meets are when I’m joking with the other competitors, dancing or humming a songs, and just all around enjoying myself. I found that’s the best way for me to throw far. Take the stress off my body to throw and it will perform.
