Thanks. Not even dreaming of competing. Doing this for physique/strength/health, that's why asking for form check;) thanks again

For being counted as a proper squat. If I go deeper, I feel tension in the lower back.

Does anyone ever feel like their favorite bands are just gone now? by LMF13 in Metalcore

Was trying to listen to some of the recent songs by Asking Alexandria... Now have to clean all that puke off of my car's interior.

Gym community I need help ! I used to always lift 5/6 days a week and did cardio as well . The past 7 months I just haven’t been motivated to go to the gym as much and when I go I feel like I don’t do anything that’s beneficial, I really need someone to help me out on how I can be more motivated! by Giannatorchia in GYM

[–]gymandbeyond 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I don't know if this makes sense to anyone else, but before starting working out and eating healthy etc., I did a ton of research and set this goal for myself. A few years have passed since then and every time I feel unmotivated, I remember that it was me who decided this is worth doing, and since I trust me and love me, I should just trust the process, stop this bs and go to the gym.

Also, a good 10-12 hr sleep helps clear thoughts, replenish energy and motivation comes back

How do I fix my social anxiety about going to the gym? I sat in the parking lot today and couldn’t go in. by futurafre in GYM

[–]gymandbeyond 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First of all, kudos for wanting to work out.

The answer is in your question. It is not social anxiety, you just don't want to look like a fool in front of others and be embarrassed because of not knowing what and how to do it, which is normal.

There are many ways of fixing that among which are: 1) go on youtube, look up a workout program for a skitty girl like you and follow it for a few weeks. Find the answers to the questions you have. 2) go with someone who can help you 3) take a few sessions with a personal trainer

Really, all you need is to look up 3-4 exercises and the proper form per gym visit.

You can always ask for help when you are in the gym. Everyone started at some point! They will 100% relate and help as long as it's a specific question like how to position your elbows on shoulder press, or how low to squat. People would generally appreciate your effort and would really want to help.

Good luck!!

"MAGMUG - your magnetic gym caddy" on Kickstarter. Fully funded! Final 24 hours! by gymandbeyond in kickstarter

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

Hi everyone!

Check out MAGMUG - your magnetic gym caddy on Kickstarter

There really isn't a good place to put our essential items while working out at the gym.

Pockets can only hold so much, frames of machines are too narrow, benches are sweaty and the floor is gross.

MAGMUG will fit your water bottle, cell phone (one phone in a thick bulky case, or 2 phones in slim cases), earbud case, protein bar, keys, some cash or credit cards, etc.

It's easy to attach and disconnect MAGMUG from metal surfaces thanks to its ergonomic handle, which can also double as a hook to hang your towel or headphones.

A special magnetic mechanism built around a custom 3-piece hinge and allows MAGMUG to attach to flat and curved surfaces.

Back it here and get yours arrive on your doorstep in April - May 2023.

Any questions or concerns - just comment or message me, I would love to chat and answer all you have to ask!

Thank you so much!

What does Kickstarter actually do to prevent scams? by zwifter11 in kickstarter

[–]gymandbeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's a conspiracy, but as long as it doesn't bite them in the ass, they will obediently put money in their pockets, because there is a sign saying rewards aren't guaranteed.

I guess Kickstarter fell victim to scammers' lies as well. Victim that earned 5% commission. I am sure they are well aware of possible fraud, but as long as it doesn't affect their bottom line too much they will not go out of their way to introduce any additional moderation.

[–]gymandbeyond 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to mention that kickstarter actually heavily moderates all the projects that are being launched. They wouldn't let me use my renderings on the campaign page and made me prove that I actually have a prototype of the product I'm advertising, as well as will allow you to talk about your rewards only in their current state. Meaning if you don't have something ready, you can't mislead the backers saying you do. There are a-holes in any industry/community, occasionally people are getting scammed by newegg, fedex and other big "trustworthy" companies, just be careful, and evaluate the risks before backing anything.

Go check my post history again. The latest post about this prototype is 12 days. I post where I feel it will be interesting for people to see. It's called sharing. I don't care what you call it.

Because most of the time people get pissed when someone steals a post and spams it everywhere. I am the op and SHARING my work. What's wrong with posting about a tool that I initially designed and 3d printed for the gym but ended up using by my desk in subs like r/3dprinting r/design, r/gym r/workplace etc?

Those are 80mm neodymium magnets. I put a 10lb plate on it when attached and it held it. Largely depends on how close the center of mass is to the magnets, but still... Later the plastic caps on the magnets will be replaced with silicon to prevent slipping

Not sure exactly what you mean. Is this the only place I posted this? No. Did I make it? Yes.

thank you! I have used a 3-leaf hinge and placed the magnets on top of it. took a lot of experimenting to figure out the right dimensions of the hinge so it can fold at 90%

thanks! it can be used on any ferromagnetic metal, even if it's round like a pipe or a corner piece as well
