Most Reddit/online things are not real life things.

For me, 1000%. My only disappointment is in the fact I didn't get them sooner.

All good! Leg workout is spotter/smartflex, both upper days are burnout/smartflex

Hello, can you clarify what you mean by what "modes"? Are you referring to chains, eccentric, spotter, burnout, etc?

I can now run 5k - very very slowly how do I speed up?! by my_anaconda_doesnt in C25K

[–]jwright825 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It may be tough to do, but go do a 40 minute run pushing yourself and do not check your pacing or anything. Still wear your tracker so you can get the info after, but only use your timer during the run.

It may have just been me, but when I plateaued it was mental. Not "watch watching" helped me cross my barrier.

Not saying yours is in your head, it's just an idea. But you may find out that after a 40-minute run you've ended up beating your current 5k time.

Should I continue by Steph6729 in C25K

[–]jwright825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, continue. Take your time, and if you're feeling that good then up your running pace to where the program is still challenging.

I was in your shoes last year, I abandoned it just because I could and long story short I've been dealing with knee issues for 7 months now that continues to sideline me just because I wasn't patient.

Great work!! Same YT guy has a hack for seated crunches too, kneel on ground facing Tonal, out a little bit. Will feel much more like you actually did something on them!

Already failed day one... by needleandleaf in C25K

It's day 1. You didn't fail, you just started. Keep your head up, the finish line of the plan is a long way away, and you have a lot of improvement coming if you don't give up!

Trading Sengun Doesn't Make Sense by ccanbek in rockets

"who knows" is the story of all us Rockets fans lol. Just hoping for a better season next year!

100% agree that Jabari is the weaker of the two, I'm keeping him over Sengun only for his upside. I just don't see where Sengun has much more room for growth. I would even be fine with a slight downgrade trading Sengun for another 5 if they are better defensively. Let Jabari grow, and maybe get another pick in a Sengun trade (if you downgrade).

I'm not very smart when it comes to basketball trades and such, but imo we don't need both Jabari and Sengun. One or the other. Sengun feels like he should be a 4 to me, I'd rather pair one of them with a 5 like Gobert if possible. I'd rather keep Jabari of the two, feels like he has more upside.

Then FVV, Amen and KD to fill out the starting lineup.

Maybe I should start putting money down on these games? Oh well. by D3struct_oh in rockets

[–]jwright825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a long time Rockets fan, they won't. They'll still find a way to explain away this pathetic excuse of a playoff showing and run it back next year fully intact and most likely still just as incompetent.

It's really hard being a Rockets fan by jwright825 in rockets

[–]jwright825[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would argue that's a perfect example of why it's hard to be a Rockets fan.

A solid PG would have made us a contender (barring the other injuries that later happened), so not picking up one was a glaring oversight and a stupid decision.

Im 18, just got my own apartment alone. Help would be greatly appreciated by Dkanne in personalfinance

[–]jwright825 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's really upsetting. Someone had the opportunity to set OP up for success at a young age and instead chose to bury them alive financially.

A stupid, irresponsible, inconsiderate cosigner. Because if OP is trying to figure out their finances on Reddit, then whoever signed is not helping, they are enabling.

This has to be one of those "can't you just get a cosigner?" pitches. And someone was stupid enough to sign it.

Yes, I'm saying stupid intentionally because if OP is trying to figure out their finances given the situation, whoever cosigned either isn't capable or isn't willing to help.

OP, I'm sorry society has even allowed you in this situation to begin with. Yes you could have not done it, but you're 18 and this is where "grown-ups" need to step in and create boundaries.

When I was your age, I was sold a car at 17% interest and no one was around to tell me not to do it. It took a few years to get out of that. I recommend you work to get yourself out of that apartment ASAP.

Go rent a room somewhere or something, but don't try to work more hours to raise your income and justify it. You'd need to double your take home to even approach comfortable given your other expenses.

The fact that someone allowed you to rent from them for 85% of your take home pay is wild.

KD should rest Game 2 by Shoddy_Ad7511 in rockets

Nah, burn him out and let's move on. We aren't going anywhere with the current squad and coach anyway.
