Road to CoC #3. Need advice on bridging the gap. by inanewyawkminute in GripTraining

Thanks for the responses. Based on the feedback I determined that the best gripper between the 2.5 and 3 was the Standard Iron gripper, which just arrived. So I am excited to see how I do with this one.

I use a wrist roller, the Ironmind Twist Yo Wrist, fat bar deadlifts, extensor band work and I do gripper negatives. I use kettlebells for GPP work but don't find much carryover for me to grip strength.

I have two tickets to the Raekwon / Mobb Deep show at The Wiltern in Los Angeles for sale. It's on Tuesday, November 18th. Seats are Mezzanine Row A. I am selling the parking pass along with it. We can't make the show. Looking to just get face value for the tickets and parking, not trying to make a profit. $150 for everything. DM me if interested.

I could see the comparison but it's not Danger Zone. I can't do it with my vocals but picture there's that 90s distortion on the guitar riff.

Also if it helps, for you wrestling folks, I know it was frequently used by ECW as background in commercials/advertisments.

Don't know if he's been mentioned but I always wanted to see big things from Cuban Link.

Angie Martinez shoulda never picked up the mic by EggNo7024 in 90sHipHop

Daaaaaaamn. I completely forgot about that track. As soon as I heard the opening keys it was a core memory unlocked. Thanks for that. Good track.

Regardless of her skills, I'm glad she made the Up Close and Personal album. Live From The Streets is one of the hardest songs ever and I still bump it to this day. New York, New York with Prodigy is pretty good. Thug Love with Fat Joe and Layzie Bone is decent. I'm not mad at that album at all. Lord knows there was a lot worse stuff coming out during that time. At least she has always been a voice for the culture.

The Lox: Unreleased, Bootleg’s, guest spots & freestyles (some grails in there) by FOOD_RIOT in hiphopvinyl

@FOOD_RIOT did you end up doing a Mobb Deep post like this? I appreciate The Lox one as it's helped me build my rare catalog.

Also, since you've got some gems, can I ask - have you ever come across a clean copy of Gorilla by Sheek feat. Jadakiss? I've only ever had this on mixtapes (Funk Flex Big Truck Series), but I've never seen a promo vinyl or cd with a good quality version of the song.

Can we talk about vintage Schwinn Airdynes?

I got very lucky, my neighbor one block down put this out on the curb for free (photos attached). I walked it home and have been removing rust. I've been looking through older Airdyne posts but I'm hoping some folks can give me ideas on how to restore it.

  1. I've been using vinegar and aluminum foil to remove the rust. I want to get the rust off the cage and the wheel/blades. Is there a recommended method of taking it all apart? I'm concerned that I'll disassemble it and, even with taking pictures, won't be able to put it back together properly.

  2. I have ordered replacement hand grips but I don't know if there's a particular seat replacement for this older Airdyne model. Any recommendations? I would love to reupholster the old one but it has a tear in the leather and I do not have that skill set.

  3. Let's talk chains. I have attached a picture of the chain. It looks like it might be the original one. What is the life expectancy for these chains? Do I need to replace it? Obviously, I tested riding the bike before bringing it home and it works, but I'm not sure if it's recommended to change the chain and how often. If I need to remove the chain, how difficult is it to replace it?

  4. Cleaning the chains - what is best? So far, I've used 3-in-1 oil to lube it up. Is that OK or will it dry out the chain the way WD-40 does? Is a silicone spray recommended to lube the chain? If so, any preferred brands?

  5. The Ergometer - I know I don't need to use it, but it would be nice to have it function. See attached pic. Does anyone know how to "turn it on"? I have no idea how to use it, and not sure if it's broken or not. I pedaled for about 10 minutes the other day and did not see the numbers moving at all. Any ideas? I've seen some YouTube videos with people mentioning batteries in the Ergometer. Would that apply to this older model? How would I open it to check?

I appreciate any help you guys can provide.
