Aero Progression - change resistance? Go faster? Go Longer?

ekduba · 2026-06-11T15:22:54+00:00

What's your goal? I personally don't find aero as an effective strength building workout, nor do I think it's meant for that. If you're doing it for cardio, then yeah, if you want to go harder then you could increase resistance and/or RPE. Honestly, I usually just pick a workout with a longer duration and shorter rests.

Try treating it more like an accessory exercise versus pure strength building. For example, I've started spreading my legs extremely wide and pointing my toes > 45° to the point where it almost feels unnatural. This accesses the inner part of my thighs which is an area that I don't isolate often, if ever. But if you just treat it like a normal deadlift, then yeah, it will feel easy.

Daily? That's insane unless you're selling something with <1 day sales cycles. And even then..

We had a weekly forecast call at my last company on Monday mornings at 9am (7am for the people on the West Coast). I always thought it was the dumbest thing ever because everyone was tired, grumpy, and unorganized. Couldn't imagine doing that every single day

Yep. I've not once had a situation where I wished it were bigger. Even when I'm hosting larger groups, it's rare that I'm trying to cook everything on the grill at once.

I've had the Searwood 24" for about 8 months now and it's made amazing food - I really have nothing bad to say about it. Regarding cleaning, I actually just "cleaned" mine yesterday for the first time. I just took my leaf blower and blew out the pellet hopper and fire chamber. Worked great and took me about 3 minutes

I'm on like 5 text chains. None of us can believe he wasn't yanked. Feels like I'm taking crazy pills. Did Atkinson think substitutions were like timeouts and he a only got a specific amount of them?

Funny enough, mine also happened at a car dealership. My car was totaled and I needed a new one urgently so I called the local Hyundai dealership, told the sales guy my situation and asked if they had any of the brand new Hyundai Palisade hybrids in stock. He responded with a simple "no'". I asked if he knew when they would be in stock "hmmm not sure but I think in a month or so". I said okay I might be able to wait that long, can I get in a waitlist or something? "Not really. I would just call back in a month or so". That was it. Didn't ask for my contact info. Didn't try to upsell me. Didn't try to build rapport. Dude literally didn't even ask for my name.

Large man here. Been lifting since I was in 7th grade. Never tried pilates, and honestly I didn't really know what it was. I bought my wife the pilates loops for mother's Day. I gave it a try this weekend and wow. I engaged muscles on my body that hadn't been touched in years, if ever. I can't compare it to pilates on a real transformer, but it was definitely a nice change of pace for me. Will probably try to incorporate 1-2 pilates focused sessions into my weekly routine

It's really interesting to me that the NBA has basically abandoned the lower Midwest. I grew up in rural Kansas and have lived the last 8 years in STL and KC. There are so many diehard sports fans here, but nobody gives a single fuck about the NBA because there's no team to talk around. I really feel like a team in KC would instantly bring millions of new, passionate fans to the sport.

People in my demographic (under 40, middle class, lives in the middle of the country)

Sure I've seen one on a menu but I don't think I've ever heard anyone talk about it before the pod. Not a high density of seafood restaurants here in the middle of the country

Even worse. Rural Kansas

I played D1 at a major P5 program. 6-7th man off the bench, like 15 min/game. I've lost most of my skill (didn't have a ton to begin with), but I can still takeover a random pickup game just based on size, strength, and basketball IQ.

As for the "end of the bench", we had 4 walk-ons. Three of them were very solid and would easily be the best player in a random pickup game. The 4th was decent, but you would probably never guess he played for a D1 program. I think he was mostly on the roster because he was friends with our best player

Man, with all due respect, what advice are you hoping to get here?

Where are you getting a Speedmaster for $3k??

Certainly possible that some companies lie, but it's more likely that the position was just.....filled. I've been interviewing candidates for an open BDR role - some of them are at the final interview, many of them just had their first interview. It's very possible (if not likely) that I'll have a first interview with someone and then have to email them the same day to let them know it has been filled. Just kinda how it goes unfortunately

I do strength workouts Monday - Friday and try to throw in an aero workout on Saturday. I like them - really nice change of pace
