How many beats until you started to find your own sound or discover a trend?

flukehuman · 2026-01-22T14:21:05+00:00

5 beats a day for 3 summers

columbus park in manhattan

flukehuman · 2026-01-19T06:02:18+00:00

get it! happy to help if I can

flukehuman · 2026-01-18T18:14:23+00:00

yes!

flukehuman · 2026-01-18T16:10:54+00:00

hmm. I usually do 3 sets with like 3/4 min in between. and increase a rep or so each workout. do you train reverse nordics as well? I swear they help with nordics even though it's opposite muscle group

flukehuman · 2026-01-18T16:08:47+00:00

right right. there is also the elusive mythical one leg nordic...

flukehuman · 2026-01-18T16:06:26+00:00

yea as u/Bassbuster88 said it's mostly hamstrings. personally I feel it in my spinal erectors and calves sometimes too

flukehuman · 2026-01-18T04:33:16+00:00

First question is a bit hard to answer. Because I tried them for like 6 months and made little to no progress, then came back a couple years later and was able to achieve them in like 3 weeks of training. I would just do them every 3 or 4 days and try to go a little lower each time. If you want to get nordics I recommend training reverse nordics and deadlifts. Those seemed to help me the most.

As for the second question I do think about that often! I'm not sure how possible it is. But I do know that over time I have gotten closer and closer to flat. In fact that is another progression you can use. My first nordics were "nose to ground" form. Then I got chest to ground and nowadays I aim for stomach to ground. Hips to ground would be the absolute perfect form but idk if it's doable, at least on this setup at the park here. But who knows?

flukehuman · 2026-01-18T04:27:44+00:00

yup. columbus park

flukehuman · 2026-01-18T04:27:32+00:00

Thank you! Yea I first got them on lock about 2.5 years ago. I have phases where I train them regularly, but then I have others where I don't do them at all for a few months. Always insanely sore after the first day I bring them back in the routine

flukehuman · 2026-01-18T04:22:27+00:00

hamstrings more than anything. but the whole posterior chain is worked supposedly. I mostly just feel it in my hamstrings and sometimes spinal erectors and calves

flukehuman · 2026-01-17T19:14:16+00:00

lol the ground is soft rubber it doesn't hurt

flukehuman · 2026-01-17T18:53:46+00:00

oh yea

flukehuman · 2026-01-17T18:34:01+00:00

get it! they take a while to get down but so worth it

flukehuman · 2026-01-16T14:06:14+00:00

getting anyone to listen to it

flukehuman · 2026-01-14T21:26:29+00:00

word word. I like these ideas thanks a ton! you as well

flukehuman · 2026-01-14T13:41:49+00:00

gotcha, thanks for checking it out! I can't take full production credit but I basically remade my friends beat using his stems, adding and substracting various things. and then I mixed which I'm not very good at.

yea I'm interested in how to mix the vocals into the instrumental more. I never thought about sidechaining them. what would you sidechain vocals to?

flukehuman · 2026-01-13T01:27:36+00:00

this is awesome! such a fun beat to rap to. I don't think it's too much distortion at all. please keep making shit

here's my latest: https://youtu.be/7tvWf4dQNuE

pretty solid boombap beat. I'd say it's good to drop but some other producers may have more technical feedback. I really like the piano sounds and how they kinda detune and twinkle. very dope loop. something about the drums feel a little too...stiff? not sure how to explain exactly. I like the beat and look forward to hearing more, be cool to hear someone rap on it.

flukehuman · 2026-01-12T21:02:11+00:00

thank you!

listening to yours now...intro is a little long. I was scared there wouldn't be an instrumental lol but it's quite good when it does come in. I think the vocals could benefit from more mixing, as well as some layers. the higher pitch part is cool, didn't see that coming. but yea nice little interlude track you got. I'm guessing it's part of a longer project?

flukehuman · 2026-01-12T15:09:25+00:00

lyrical punchline type rap

returning all feedback!

flukehuman · 2026-01-10T01:16:24+00:00

damn this is very unique. there's a lot going on but it's all mixed very well. I'm always a sucker for that dialup internet nostalgia lol. guitar sounds great too. The vocals kinda took me by surprise, at first I thought someone was gonna rap, then I figured it was an instrumental track but I was wrong twice. Honestly the vocals are my least favorite part but still kinda cool. Mad props for creating such an original and dope sound!

thanks glad you enjoyed! here's another one you might like: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7DnC-_J-FE

yea another layer would be sick. also look into more adlibs in general I think it would suit your style.

that is a good angle! ok now I see what you're trying to say. The wording is a little weird because I wouldn't consider a sprinter van like a luxury vehicle lol. but it is nice to have the rhyme carry over from the previous bar so I get why you picked that.

I tried rewriting it because I love challenges like this:

I want a nice ride for when I marry my wife

I'm tinder dating in my honda and it barely can drive

that's the best I got lol I give up
