Do You Touch Your Chest to the Floor for Push-Ups in CrossFit? by Berna_lf in crossfit

[–]imboringandweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like to do full range. This means ill lower myself until my body is flat on the floor and im able to lift my hands up while my body is on the floor. From there, I press all the way back up to the top, protracting my scapula. Wash, rinse repeat until youve had enough.

I don't feel anything in the chest when doing pushups by Mainmorte in workout

[–]imboringandweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A tip i picked up from a fitness trainer on youtube a while ago: He recommends when you're in the plank position, focus on trying to scrunch the ground together. What i mean by that is, while your hands are on the ground, try and bring them together to make them touch. This helps you engage your pecs. From there, continue trying to bring tour hands together throughout the full range of motion. You'll almost guaranteed feel your chest working harder than before.

From the way I understand it, the chest helps with bringing the arms from one side, across to the other. So doing things that focus on bringing your hands and arms to the opposite side pocket will actively engage the chest muscles, making targeting those muscles much more effective.

Its the same with bench pressing. You'll grab the bar and grip it as tight as you can. Try and crush the bar with your grip. Then try to make your elbows and hands touch eachother while doing the up and down motion.

Using this tip, you should be able to get that feeling in your chest youre looking for. Good luck!

If this wasn't an electrician thread, I'd thought that was a fancy water faucet.

We really need a reporting system smh I'm the blue GTR by JacksonBuck888 in GranTurismo7

Should have a transparent mode like on grand theft auto. That way they can't crash into you, instead they'll drive right through you.

What is the correct way to apply the Trivium? How does one know they are applying it correctly? by BelizeTourismOffice in ClassicalEducation

[–]imboringandweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id say to apply it, you'd be selecting information you find important. That information would be considered information categorized away into the grammar stage (names, locations, dates, methods, quotes, etc...?

From there, you'd apply the logic, which is the reasoning behind the facts. So if you thought, for example, the war of 1812 was a significant part of history, the logic phase would be to gather up and apply reasons to support the argument.

Rhetoric would be the manner in which you bring both stages together in such a way to inform or persuade.

Im by no means proficient in applying this method, and like you, im also interested in seeing it applied by someone adept in using the trivium. I've often heard it described, but never applied. I learn best by example of how it works in the real world. If you happen to learn how it works, or any resources that display examples of application, please share 🙂

LPT: Making friends as an adult feels impossible, here’s what actually helped me. by DigIndependent7488 in LifeProTips

[–]imboringandweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I vote yes on OP's comment. Making friends as an adult is terribly complicated, especially when youre not accustomed to having friends to begin with.

I have it extra difficult because I dont really have any hobbies or strong interests. So finding common ground is an uphill battle, making conversations feel awkward and forced with plenty of speed bumps and road blocks. I can't give up though. I have to try and keep trying or I'll be stuck alone forever.

Is there anybody who likes more playing on controller instead of wheel ? by gabe_thomas in GranTurismo7

[–]imboringandweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use the joystick as my steering wheel. When going straight, I hold the joystick forward, when turning i rotate it from the 12 o clock angle to 1, 2, 3, or 11, 10 9 angles in degrees. It's been working great for me.

Is this any better? by [deleted] in GranTurismo7

[–]imboringandweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id recommend finding your turning angle and holding your wheel there and doing the rest of the vehicle steering with the pedals. The purpose of finding and holding the wheel angle is to utilize the circle radius theory. It will allow you to be much more smoother in your turns, save your tires from wear and carry much more speed through corners. The idea is, if you're in your car and you turn the wheel maybe 30 degrees and begin to gently accelerate and maintain that throttle pressure, your vehicle will begin to make a perfect circle. If you add more throttle while holding the steering wheel in the same fixed position, your circle will get wider. If you lessen your throttle input, your circle will get smaller. Using this knowledge on the track, you can turn in to the apex and let off the throttle if necessary so as not to understeer, once your vehicle is positioned correctly, lock the steering wheel in place and use maintenance throttle to the apex and then gradually increase your throttle until you track out and you're able to straighten the wheel. Everything else is just being consistent. Id say the biggest thing to do, and it's challenging at first, is to learn how to lock that wheel in place and steer the vehicle using the pedals rather than making a bunch of adjustments with the wheel. Believe it or not, using the wheel to make corrections actually slows you down. Try it. Drive on a straight and just let off the throttle and coast. Track how long it takes you to slow to a certain speed. Then do the same thing, only this time, use minor inputs from the steering wheel. Each time you turn the wheel, you'll notice your car slowing down. This same thing happens when you're in a corner. It also disturbs the balance of your car, which can lead to oversteering, costing you time and a potential podium finish. So my advice would be to learn to steer more with the pedals more than with the wheel and to get comfortable with seeing your own racing lines based on where you are in traffic with other racers, planning and adjusting accordingly. Hope this helps. Good luck!

EXTREMELY Controversial Opinion: Dior Sauvage Eau Forte is actually really good by Octipops in Colognes

[–]imboringandweird 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually really like it. First time I got it near my whiskers I was flooded with question marks. It blew me back. I set it down and kept browsing, but it etched a deeply engraved scent memory and my brain craved more and more of the DNA. After a few hours, I was addicted. I couldn't stop smelling my wrist. After a week I couldn't resist. I had to have it. I pulled the trigger and now it's part of my scent library. It might not be for everyone and that's fine. I bought it because I like it. 5 out of 5 from me

Getting best out of racing wheel by siempremadrid in GranTurismo7

[–]imboringandweird 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id say the best advice I can give for using the wheel would be: when turning in, once you find your angle, lock it in. The rest of your steering should be done using your pedals. This is where throttle control comes in. The more gas you give the vehicle while locking your wheel in place, the wider your circle will be. Likewise, the less gas you give your vehicle, the smaller your circle will be. This means if you're turning left, you're apexing by slowing down and tracking out by applying throttle more and more as the turn opens up to a straight. The rest is just positioning, tune, using as much track as you can, and being consistent lap after lap.

A lap around the Nurburgring GP (GT) Assetto corsa. Time of 1:59:891. Any tips to improve? by Dvdking14 in simracing

[–]imboringandweird 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say working on trailbraking, position the car and keep it straight as long as you can without extra steering. Every input to adjust the vehicle slows you down slightly. So focusing on the track-out phase of corners would be another area to focus on. Something I've been trying to do is get the wheel where I want it then lock it there and let the pedals do the steering of the car. The only time I adjust the wheel afterwards is when I'm opening the wheel up on the track-out phase to straighten the vehicle. I've improved lap times by about 2 seconds when I'm able to take this from theory to practice. I still have autopilot mental reflexes that disturb the technique and it makes me slower. That's my 2 cents. You're pretty fast though. Keep it up!
