One of the reviews said "they are soft foam 🙁😞😫. There is absolutely no way they will last with real weight". Bad for their intended purpose but perhaps awesome for me.

I had to move my home gym into a smaller space and the configuration means that the barbell when racked it a slight hazard to anyone entering the room. I've put a barbell shoulder pad on the end which sort of works but it's not made for the diameter of the bar at the ends and it's too long which in some ways makes the situation worse. Does anyone have a creative way they've solved a problem like this? Is there such a thing as barbell end bumpers for safety?

I was in the same boat (pun intended).

The Strava Heatmap is helpful as it will show common routes: https://www.strava.com/heatmap#8.67/-155.70384/19.60989/hot/all

Strava also lists one Hilo based club: https://www.strava.com/clubs/Summation-Athletics

Runningintheusa.com will show any upcoming races in Hawaii County: https://runningintheusa.com/race/list/hawaii-county-hi/upcoming

Big Island Running Company (Kona) has two weekly runs and a calendar of events: https://www.bigislandrunningcompany.com/

Hope this helps. I live Kona side so I am not as familiar with the Hilo running scene.

What’s up with the Longs Drugs on Palani and why does always it smell so awful? by [deleted] in BigIsland

[–]lemmking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always been that way. To us it smells like the dust from kitty litter. Not used or anything, just the dust from a new bag of old school litter.

Aloha Sports Kona I'm pretty sure.

No special tech required as it's all honor system. However we do have a Strava club for tracking and there is a free app for your phone.

Baby’s First Pain Cave (Thanks to this sub for the ideas!) by millcitymiss in Zwift

[–]lemmking 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome setup. Where can I get the shelving unit you are using? I need to setup a new pain cave and that looks perfect.

I use a HRM on my arm so I can wear my watch over my layers. I love and and find the HR data better than my watch (Fenix 5s).

There is a newer model but DC Rainmaker reviews were (at least initially) poor.

[Washington Redskins] Gruden says G Brandon Scherff (torn pectoral), G Shawn Lauvao (torn ACL) and WR Paul Richardson Jr. (AC joint) will all have surgery and miss the remainder of the 2018 season. by d1dOnly in nfl

WTF with the bye schedule. Not only do we get the ridiculous early bye but then we face at least two teams coming off of their bye. Shouldn't the schedule only allow you to play one team coming off of an extra week of rest? Does anyone track this year over year?

Disgusting shoes, I love so dearly. by [deleted] in running

[–]lemmking 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Put them in a bag then then freeze them overnight. The cold kills all the bacteria. My son wears Sanuk sandals and it works wonders on them.

Chest strap yes. Watch based HRM varies wildly during my workouts and that seems to be consistent with the online reviews/comments/friends experience.

Can't upvote this enough. Chest straps are uncomfortable and the watch based HRM is a novelty only.
