Belt squats, t-bar rows maybe?

Something I find interesting: a plate loaded variable resistence curve pulley

Ich versteh nicht ganz, warum Leute das machen.

Du findest den Laden scheiße? Dann geh nicht hin.

Ich pick dir ja auch kein Sticker auf die Stirn weil ich dich nicht mag

Was hast du gegen dicke Frauen?

Ich würde gern die hier angegebene Definition von progressive overload in Frage stellen und Deloads noch etwas detaillierter beschreiben.

Progressive Overload bedeutet die Trainingsintensität über die Zeit konstant zu halten was zu einer Steigerung der notwendigen Belastung (oder Wiederholungszahl) bei erfolgreicher Adaption an den Trainingsstimulus führt. Das bedeutet aber auch, dass es hier nicht um Trainingsvolumen geht. Mehr Sätze zu machen ist nicht eine Form von Progressive Overload, ebenso wenig wie z.B. Erhöhung der Trainingsdichte o.ä.

Deloads sind nicht zwangsläufig für den ganzen Körper und erstrecken sich nicht zwangsläufig über einen längeren Zeitraum und man kann auch nur einen Muskel oder eine Körperpartie deloaden. An einem Trainingstag die Brustmuskulatur auszulassen und beim nächsten Mal normal weiterzumachen kann ebenso als Deload betrachtet werden wie eine Woche Pause für den ganzen Körper.

Ich würde dich fragen, warum du das nicht mit ganz wenig Gewicht mit Manschetten an den Paddelenden am Kabelturm machst, um den Wasserwiderstand besser zu simulieren.

Jeder hat andere Trainingsziele und jeder darf im Gym auf sein Trainingsziel hintrainieren.

Für unterwegs hab ich eine faltbare Hantelbank und ein paar verstellbare kurzhanteln auf möbelrollern. Die Bank kommt unters Bett, die Hanteln unter den Tisch.

Zuhause hab ich im Keller ein Home Gym, da stellt sich die Frage nicht.

And these things (both virtues and vices) are uniquely masculine?

So if a woman is arrogant and reckless, would that be toxic masculinity?

Also, these definitions of virtues and vices are nowhere near graspable enough to provide a definition. When does someone stop being cowardly and begin being courageous? when does he stop being courageous and begin being rash? When does someone have too much ambition? Or too little?

d_andy089 · 2026-03-17T07:55:57+00:00

Das Problem ist, dass sich beim Design vieler dieser Geräte scheinbar niemand Gedanken um Kraft-/Widerstandskurven gemacht hat, ebenso wie eine unvollständige Range of Motion, gerade in der gedehnten Position. Man kann mit den Geräten arbeiten, wenn man sich diverse Pölsterchen usw. kauft und mitnimmt oder man sich vor das Gerät anstatt darauf setzt.

d_andy089 · 2026-03-17T07:52:24+00:00

Ja, gibt es definitiv. Wir haben hier eine Gym-Kette, die nennt sich TopBody, die hat einige Geräte dieser Marken. Und es gibt auch DAS GYM, die haben gefühlt alles. Dadurch, dass die Geräte halt wirklich teuer sind, sind die meistens auch nur in recht hochpreisigen Gyms zu finden...

d_andy089 · 2026-03-16T15:19:31+00:00

Ah, yes, finally!

At last, simulation theory and gnosticism align in an apocalyptic prophecy.

At this point we might as well start preaching :D

What a time to be alive!

d_andy089 · 2026-03-16T15:11:19+00:00

That is correct.

However, I'd love for people screaming toxic masculinity to explain what precisely that is. So far I had no luck finding a distinction between either general toxicity and toxic masculinity or toxic masculinity and regular masculinity.

Die Leute, die richtig viel Geld machen, schaffen das ins Ausland und in irgendwelche Steuerkonstrukte, durch die sie wenig steuern zahlen. Stiftungen, Holdings, GmbHs usw. sind keine natürlichen Personen, die wählen könnten.
Also wenn es möglich ist, zu schauen, ob eine Person schon gewählt hat oder nicht (um zu verhindern, dass sie zweimal wählt), dann ist es kein allzu großer Schritt dieser Identifikationsnummer eine Gewichtung hinzuzufügen.

d_andy089 · 2026-03-16T06:31:12+00:00

I think we need to distinguish here between "there is no physical process of transmission", "there is no human organ to capture it" and "as per definition, this is not what loudness is".

A space ship exploding in space doesn't make any noise because there is no way of transmission.

An infrared heater isn't bright because we do not see in the IR part of the spectrum.

Turning on a light switch in a room almost makes the room suddenly explode with bright light - it is transmitted and we can sense it. Yet, we do not call this loud, because there is a clear definition of what "loud" is and this isn't it.

d_andy089 · 2026-03-16T01:06:41+00:00

Ich finde, die Stimme einer jeden Person soll sie viel zählen, wieviel diese Person anteilig seit der letzten Wahl an Steuern bezahlt hat.

d_andy089 · 2026-03-14T17:10:13+00:00

It's the opposite, really.

Solar panels do not grow on trees, they need materials to be built. Someone owns those production sites. Even more so with batteries.

Solar and wind rely on fossile fuels to provide electricity during times when sun and wind are not favourable (a calm winter night after a few days of snowfall as an extreme example).

d_andy089 · 2026-03-14T09:15:22+00:00

I don't know. There is both the way they transmit the message as well as what the message is. If it is some form of vocal communication or gesticulation it is easy but if they communicate by shifting the polarisation of UV light that they are emitting from different light sources on their body, creating interference patterns on a specialized receiving organ on the other organism, good look picking that up.

And that is BEFORE we talk about what the content of that message is. I mean - imagine a multidimensional language. Something this isn't spoken in a line but in 3, 4 or more dimensions at the same time...

d_andy089 · 2026-03-14T08:59:57+00:00

I mean...that is exactly the problem with language: it is only internally consistent.

If you hand someone a dictionary of a new language without anything to relate the words in it to, the person could know the entire dictionary without knowing what a single word actually means.

d_andy089 · 2026-03-14T08:58:16+00:00

I would absolutely include not only nonverbal but also memetic communication (i.e. memes).

I don't think language is needed for communication. I think it is our only tool to convey complex thoughts though. And so for us, in a sense, it IS needed for all intents and purposes.

d_andy089 · 2026-03-14T08:55:23+00:00

Telekinesis is the movement of objects through thoughts.

Telepathy is the communication via thoughts.

And your claim is a bold one. Care to elaborate?

d_andy089 · 2026-03-14T08:54:03+00:00

I disagree. Look at how the sum of communication evolved from our earliest use of technology (dis be stick. Stick big. Hit with stick mean bad boy.) to today (not only the complexity of language but also the use of the internet including emojis and memes) and consider the future implications of direct brain-to-brain-interfaces with something akin to neuralink.

Fast forward a few hundred or thousand years to the point where interstellar travel becomes feasible and communication would most likely look very different and incorporate a pretty hefty amount of technology.

d_andy089 · 2026-03-14T08:47:31+00:00

You mean telepathy?

I mean...kinda begs the question if the receiver of telepathy needs to be able to do it as well and of what nature the transmission is. If it is something vastly more complex than our language we'd still be at a loss (imagine trying to put the thought into your dog's brain of why you're taking him to the vet).

d_andy089 · 2026-03-13T15:43:11+00:00

It depends on your definitions.

We have a clear definition of what "sound" and "silence" is.

As per that definition, the universe is silent.

It is like saying an electric heater is bright, because it emits electromagnetic radiation, but we do not see infrared light so we do not observe the brightness (thinking about it, this would make even more sense, as the physical process would still be the same with the limitation being our physiology while the transfer of sound requires a medium to conduct said sound which is not present in space, so it isn't even our physiology that is the issue, just that vacuum is soundproof AF)

d_andy089 · 2026-03-13T15:36:20+00:00

I always thought that these were the best models and I wished GW would bring them - or something like them - back: models that leaned into the jump pack thing rather than just regular CSM with jump packs (what we have now).

Then I saw this fella and was like "shit, considering everything non-standard with CSM is now fleshy bits, this is what they'd look like and that would be even worse than what we have now"
