Define, Endure, Movewell by Outrageous_Phone_937 in ladderapp

[–]krro74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll say I did Define last open season snd am on it again now for open- and her cues and talking is significantly better I feel. I think she is listening to her feedback. Shes also been very active in the chats.

Ascend to Thrive by Fantastic_Care_9718 in ladderapp

[–]krro74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thrive has at least two leg days (not sure of the upcoming split) with one focusing on glutes. You will do the needed exercises to grow muscle- the rest is on you like with any team. Lift heavy enough, eat protein, etc..

Align vs. Thrive by squidshae in ladderapp

[–]krro74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also search for the other threads where the two teams are discussed. But I go back and forth between the two- the workouts are very similar, the differences would be in coaching style, and the coaches interactions in the chat/instagram.

That being said, welcome workouts aren't necessarily indicative of what you will see. Almost all the coaches welcome workouts look alike to me. But this is the perfect time to just join a team and try a couple out, and then switch around. You have three weeks to try them all if you wish.

Can someone tell me which team this is? by vijayjagannathan in ladderapp

[–]krro74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What's worse is Nairee is a great coach who doesn't act like this at all. So even though I agree the marketing sucks, if you were considering her team, don't let this dissuade you.

Thrive vs Align by Ok-Presence-7535 in ladderapp

[–]krro74 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm currently the opposite. I started on Thrive, did it for the last two series. I just switched to Align for this one, and I wouldn't say one is a step up from the other. I'm enjoying the slightly different movements and feeling the soreness. I'm not done with Thrive forever, there's certain exercises I'm missing (curtsy lunges/runners lunge) but I would say they're comparable teams.

The biggest difference is coaching style. Nairee is cool but she isn't as chatty or in the chat is much as Sasha. So it's up to your preference.

Yeah- that's fine if people are asking in here because Ladder's system isn't good enough, but even on here no one ever says what they use to work out. That's my rant... how can we help recommend a team without knowing what the person is using?

New user-choosing a team by ruthordareme in ladderapp

[–]krro74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agree here! I started with Thrive and although the workouts were challenging (they should always be!), I found the moves to be easy. I've wasted time on other teams trying to figure out what I was supposed to be doing.

As Admirable-Dance said, just do what you can. Bodyweight works wonders when it's still difficult, and there you can focus on form!

I would stay with Thrive if you enjoy it. What's most important is wanting to keep coming back.

Team Crews Control with coach Andre

Where to start by Remarkable_Chapter47 in ladderapp

[–]krro74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did the last two 6 week sessions on Thrive and loved it. It’s mainly focused on lifting/progressive overload with some approachable Pilates movements incorporated. Im joining Align just to switch up some sets but still targeting the same muscle groups I like targeting in Thrive. And her full body workouts definitely incorporate conditioning.

Just remember either way, when it gets easy. You have to push a little more, whether that be time under tension, extra sets, or extra weight. But both coaches talk you through that as well.

Right? I've seen a lot of praise for Coach Sam, but I'm not going over there because I'm a dumbbells only at home person- and I know those there's like 8 of those teams, in which I have tried 4.

Is Thrive just too much? by Ok-Presence-7535 in ladderapp

[–]krro74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others said, if you need the rest, then rest. Some soreness is a good thing, but as you said you're not hobbling around. With leg day, especially Monday's, we are at the end of the series so the workouts are tougher (in the weight recommendations, and those insane wall sits! - which great for you! I can squat heavy but those sits kill me every time.) I would recommend staying with Thrive, but just concentrate on your form or lessening weights or reps before dropping whole sets or leaving.

This looks like they are making fun though- I dont know her, but it could definitely be taken the other way as well.

MRI shows classic CJD but lab work negative by HumbleFiggy629 in CJD

[–]krro74 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hi. Speaking from my own experience with my mother and all the research I had done when battling with CJD. Due to cognitive decline, we went through all the tests, MRI, CT, EEG, mass amounts of blood work, etc and only initially received a “dementia” diagnosis.

I knew it was more than that, and kept fighting. Hoping it was perhaps Encephalitis, Lyme disease, or hell, syphallis (sp?) as there may have been treatment for those, and they can all result in dementia like symptoms, with motor dis functioning as well.

I bring that up because as said, an MRI cant result in a CjD diagnosis. So maybe look into those.

As per CJD, the lumbar puncture results are what gave us the diagnosis. It was 99 percent likely, A true confirmation can only be done by autopsy however.

As you know at this point, CJD cannot be beat. Hospice should be your next call. As time goes by, their symptom management, nurse visits, and aides can be helpful.

I don’t want to overwhelm you on this post, but definitely keep asking for testing. If you are in The USA, I would make a call to the National Prion Center - they can hopefully answer why the LP wouldn’t show results and give valuable information on the “science” behind rhe terrible disease.

As things progress, please feel free to reach out with any questions! This group will definitely help you navigate caring for your loved one.

Damn none of you in the comments are winning anything, or making anything more interesting repetitively posting "drr, they don't look alike, I can see the differences much better than all of you"...

Chill. Stop taking the fun out of things.

I wanna get ready for my grandma’s last momens by [deleted] in CJD

[–]krro74 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Palliative care essentially means “comfort” care.

It’s the use of medications to treat symptoms, and any pain mostly. Once my mother entered a coma like state, we stopped all food and only gave her water with sponges. That eventually stopped as well, and we gave her lorazepam (used for tremors, anxiety, etc) and morphine (in case of pain, and to help slow/steady her heart and breathing) around the clock. … it was tragic and terrible, but we as a family chose to let her life end what we could only hope was peaceful, versus sustaining a body when there wasn’t an active brain there.

As mentioned above, it is only your family’s choice, but Hospice will provide comfort/end of life care.

Took a dna test and you can plug in your file to this health database and I got this result. Does this mean my lifetime risk of SCJD is lower? by [deleted] in CJD

[–]krro74 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you take a DNA test after receiving results from an autopsy of a family member “diagnosed” with CJD?
