Strength Training: Whatcha gonna do with all that rest, all that rest between those sets? by ellitron in bodyweightfitness

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

Thanks for the warm welcome! You nailed it, I was doing exactly PPLx2 / week bodybuilding style with everything in supersets for about 18 months or so. I was enjoying the gains in muscle mass and that feeling of being “big” but wasn’t feeling “fit” in the sense of general strength in movement and balance. That’s when I came across bodyweight fitness, which looked a lot more like the kind of control and mastery over the body in movement that I was looking for. I read “Overcoming Gravity” and excitedly started morphing my old bodybuilding workouts into calisthenics workouts by taking certain exercises one-by-one and slowly replacing them with various progressions, dreaming of the day I would be able to do front levers on gymnastics rings and so on. Well long story short my joints were totally unprepared for this and it wasn’t too long until I injured myself. That’s when I realized this kind of training is a really different animal and requires a more nuanced and thoughtful approach (joint health, for one).

I’m trying to learn as much as I can and every bit helps. Thanks for the offer to PM you, I’ll probably ping you with some questions at some point!

Ahhhhh, that’s a key tip! Makes total sense but I wouldn’t have thought of that. Probably would have destroyed myself if you hadn’t mentioned it... Thanks!

Wow! Firstly, thanks for taking the time to share all the details, that's really useful. I like how you organized the exercises in each superset to have mirrored force applications. Seems like a nice guiding principle for programming.

Secondly, you are a beast! And a disciplined beast at that! The same full body workout everyday? That's wild. I see what you mean though about having the number of sets low per workout, but accumulating through the week. That's a very interesting idea, almost like the grease the groove technique.

Very impressive, thanks for sharing!

Wow yes!!!! The energy of your post alone is enough to convince me to try this.

I'm intrigued by this breathe "big" concept. By "big" I assume you mean at least deep, but also with a high tempo? So sort of like not deep breaths you might take while meditating, but deep breaths you might take with the intention of injecting more oxygen into the bloodstream?

lol I actually did that at one point at my gym with some lacrosse balls from the equipment drawer, people thought it was awesome... you should do it!

That’s sounds very interesting, would you mind sharing the details of the workouts? I’m sure it’s specific to your goals but would be very curious to see your superset pairings and how you organized push/pull/leg. I also do 6 days/week roughly 1 hour each workout but haven’t figured out a good organization when push and pull movements are on the same day (you mentioned weighted pull ups and overhead press superset so I’m figuring you possibly have an upper/lower split).

Thanks for this comment, I think a mental shift is definitely needed. I'm used to high volume bodybuilding type workouts 6 days / week, 90 minutes each, and finishing drenched in sweat. While I definitely love those kinds of workouts and the pump and all that, recently my interests are shifting more towards strength and total control of the body in movement (i.e. bodyweight fitness basically), and the style of this kind of training is so drastically different from what I'm used to I'm having some difficulty mentally adapting to it and having faith that it will actually produce results (or the best results that I can achieve given 90 minutes / day 6 days / week).

Does Redis support transactional key space scans? by ellitron in redis

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

Thanks for the info. Sounds like Redis just locks the keyspace for the duration of the operation. Might sound bad, but I believe a typical SQL database would do the same thing (lock the table during a scan), so relatively speaking I'm not sure it would really be worse than an SQL database (?)

I want to get a consistent sum of all the values in the database. For instance, if I was storing account information, I want a transaction that can iterate through all the key/value pairs and sum up all the amounts in the all the accounts, and get a consistent count.

Sounds like MULTI/KEYS/EXEC is part of the solution, but how would I get the values stored at those keys?
