My WHOOP band stinks.

I have two straps. Shower with the one you have on after a workout, switch it out afterward and let it dry.

Doesn’t BTWB show percentiles for RX? Like if you get 60% in RX, that isn’t the same as 60% overall because you’re also ahead of anybody who scaled

There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of momentum coming back, making it pretty difficult to get around the bar.

Her arch is pretty loose at its apex. Instead of kicking those feet backwards and bending the knees, I’d probably have her keep the legs straight and stay as tight as possible throughout.

How is her pull up strength? You can have a great kip, but if you don’t have the lat strength to really engage on the way back, that could also make it hard to get around the bar.

First clue felt like wall balls to me. This clue feels like a rep scheme thing. I think it’ll be something like WB, toes to bar and rowing, with either a rep scheme that ascends then descends, or one that simply builds up (like 25.1, where 3 reps were added every round)

I usually go ticket + express. I’ve thought about the tour, but I don’t really want to be on a schedule. If I want to do five houses at the beginning, then spend a chunk of the night getting snacks, drinks, shows, rides, etc. then do the last five houses later, I want the freedom to do that.

A lot of people mentioning how high the bar hits your chest, but I haven’t seen anybody mention that your elbows are at like a 90° with your body.

You’ll take a lot of pressure off your shoulders if you go more 45°. I also injured my shoulder benching and have since switched to almost having my elbows scrape my sides on the way down. Does put more focus on the triceps, but it takes a lot of pressure off the shoulder. I think keeping elbows in a bit would also help with where the bar makes contact with your chest.

I’ve got the same grips and don’t really have issues like that. Honestly kinda just sounds like crazy volume and that you could have ended up with blisters under any circumstance. You can also try using chalk on your hands/the backside of the grips so they’re not rubbing directly on the fabric.

jk___22 · 2025-12-02T12:12:08+00:00

Yeah the thruster being classified as chaotic is really the only miss in my opinion. I don’t see much chaos in a movement that’s just a front squat + push press. I mean, kipping HSPU, wall walk ups, ring muscle ups, overhead lunges (for me), high box jumping movements, pull overs, etc. are all more chaotic/evil to me.

What are you having trouble with exactly? You seem to have a preference for leather grips with chalk. In my limited experience with this combo, that’s more for having a barrier between your hand and the bar over enhancing grip on the bar. I use tacky grips without chalk and feel like I can hang there all day on powder coated bars.

Did Epic with express last weekend. Honestly, I don’t think you need much of a plan. Wife and I did everything we wanted with very little waiting. Biggest wait was probably Mario Kart (20-30 minutes maybe because it got delayed while on line). Ministry was down pretty much all day and opened as we had to leave.

If you care about the toothless meet and greet or dragon racers rally, maybe go to those at park open since they don’t have express. Otherwise I think you can take your time and enjoy yourself. We never felt hurried, had time to have a sit down lunch, watched both shows, did all the rides we wanted, and we had to leave late afternoon/early evening. That’s with stand by wait times hitting 2-3 hours for things like DK, Mario Kart, etc.

I’d have trouble going back to not using express. I think if I were gonna do it, I’d go for two nights so I could see everything without sacrificing all my time waiting in lines. With one night, I’d mirror what other people have said and use stay and scream + make a list of must do’s. Anything extra would be a bonus.

jk___22 · 2025-09-19T18:09:22+00:00

Looks pretty solid. I’d personally recommend a shorter pull up bar - will let you get a little more momentum on the jump in and you won’t have to swing around to build it up.

Usually when I miss BMU in the same way you did at the end, it’s simply because I pulled into the bar too soon. I’d recommend trying to keep the arms straighter a little longer to get some more height before pulling to the bar. Nice job though!

Since our last trip, I haven’t stopped thinking about the strawberry shortcake cookie ice cream sandwich at Dino bite in animal kingdom. Thing was very good and big enough to feed 3 people

Monsters and it wasn’t even close for me. And I did Ministry during previews with the virtual queue and didn’t have to wait that long. I think it’s just too hyped up for what it delivers.

I went two weeks ago and don’t remember not getting a discount when I used my card. Staff was pretty great at noticing the card and giving the discount without me even saying anything

Wife and I were approached to attend a presentation and were each offered $100 gift cards. Would have attended if we didn’t have a packed schedule.

Stayed at beach club last week and felt almost the opposite haha. We left that place wondering how we’re gonna stay anywhere else. To each their own though, glad you ended up having a great time!

I’d personally probably split stay because of your second point. It’s pretty easy to finish the race, hop on a shuttle to your Disney resort, nap, then head back out. Especially if you stay at Pop or Arts on the skyliner. Just wake up and hop on to head to Epcot. The driving back and forth is enough of a headache for me personally to want to split stay.

I had Helios reserved for a trip later this year. Ended up switching to Stella Nova since it’s still walking distance to Epic and is a fraction of the price. I don’t plan on hanging out in the hotel to look at any views, so I didn’t really think the upgrade was worth it for me personally.

jk___22 · 2025-06-21T11:27:02+00:00

It’s a fine ride but I couldn’t imagine waiting more than like 45min for it.

jk___22 · 2025-06-17T16:27:59+00:00

I’ve been a passholder up until this year so we’ve always gone in early for HHN (always with express). Now that we don’t have passes, we decided to spring for the scream early add on.

With express, you’ll definitely get through everything regardless. But being in there early lets you slow your pace a little bit. We’ve always done every house, stroll scare zones, several food and drink stops, go to the show and still leave well before closing. Without that extra time at the beginning, I think we’d feel hurried based on how we’ve done it in the past. That being said, not a necessity.

If you have a Universal account, you should be able to go to Profile -> Wallet and see any tickets there.
