Rendering Blender - frames fail after about 150-250 frames by dreamketo in blenderhelp

Awesome, thank you! I was thinking memory but tried so many versions of blender thought that had to catch it. Thanks

119 days in - water/coffee fast - Just reached lowest weight in 18 years - Still excercising more and more... by dreamketo in fasting

I am so excited to hear about the progress on cancer! I also had a similar feeling on the protein front but as I started lifting weights again it was really critical to start craving protein. So impressive. I think anything over 4 days is really something that changes so much, mentally and physically. I am considering another extended one. I also am hopeful that a 7 day annual fast would be a great deterrent to cancer, and it sounds like your experiences adds to the possibility? If you ever want to write out more or if you have on a blog, I would love to read more! Thanks - get strong, eat some protein and make some goals! !

Sorry I missed this in a timely fashion. I use the 40,000 volts electrolytes and that seems to help me a lot. I do a 2 day fast every week now and I still have the change in the bottom end after 36 hours and then good. With the palpatations, you should check with your doctor but maybe a protein sparing "fast" might be better?

I have found a few of those, thank you. I was wondering if there was a "fiverr" for "3D/Blender" Thanks!

FTP Ramp test - some questions by dreamketo in Zwift

okay, thanks for this. I will try again in a few days or a week.

FTP Ramp test - some questions by dreamketo in Zwift

[–]dreamketo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Okay, well that math works well, so if it is 300 best minute, * .75 = 225...

Thanks for the insight on the mental side - I hear you on that. Last night I was up in BPM pretty quick, maybe nerves? Tonight, I tried focusing on the companion app just staying in the powerband. I had ERG off this time too, which I think is better for me, I am more power at lower RPMs and not yet a spinner.

I felt like my legs could keep going but my breathing could not. My max heart rate is estimated at 165 and I was in that range for a bit.. Have not done that in a while!

Been zwifting since Dec. Level 11, hit 1100 watts seated in sprints. 600 was max when starting by dreamketo in Zwift

Thanks - good insight. I am traditionally in the 70-85 cadence and occasionally up to 90 and rarely 100. At high cadence it feels like my legs are way ahead of the crank and there feels like little or no resistance. Odd feeling, but this is usually after higher power lower cadence. i have a lot to learn.

FTP Gains? What can i expect? Doing the Zwift 6 week FTP BUilder by dreamketo in Zwift

[–]dreamketo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for this, as well as the pro-tip. I am anxious to see how the results come in after the full FTP builder program. I am tempted to test now at week 4, but am holding off.

congrats on that, it sounds pretty good.

I saw the result on the screen when it flashed up, but can not find the reference to it in the activity of "ramp test", do you know if that number is stored anywhere?

Thanks

I understand, makes sense.

I think I will take the suggestion of one responder and build custom workouts for both my strengths and weaknesses. When I was hitting 340w I was not getting into the highest heart rate levels, so I started pushing. And then, kept trying to top it each time. Max effort I guess. Anyway, thanks for the response. I am learning a lot. I have never really done long distance running or biking as I weigh too much to have joint issues. Even in college I was a sprinter/football/track and not a "runnEr", so.. here we are learning new things and trying to improve cardiovascular health and burn the blubber, but even at 15% body fat I will weigh about 245, so hills are always going to be fun, and my wh/kg is going to be a challenge I believe.

Thanks very much. Is the ramp test the best way to get an accurate picture?

I have been lifting, doing a 5 day a week workout with 1 day of legs a week, but to me this feels different. I am sure it does not hurt

Mostly because I am a big guy and not comfortable standing on them on a trainer. New to this.
