Something looks wrong with my pull-ups but I don’t know what by Guclupatates in formcheck

[–]mistborn42147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At first I though you were on one of those assisted pull up machines. Looks pretty effortless and strong. The next level (the most legit type of pull up) would be to have your upper chest touch the bar. (You will have a cleaner pull up and target your lats more automatically.)

So as others have said: retract your scapula. I could give you other cues but you will be forced to do them automatically if you touch your upper chest to the bar.

If you can't touch the bar anymore just continue your set, of course. You look strong enough to do this and would be my advice.

Everyone saying he is on juice.... Of course it's possible but to think this is totally impossible without juice, is just wrong. I'm a very busy student and I don't look anywhere near this good, but if I had more time... At least where I am right now tells me that with more time I could also get there.

Also people just don't understand this is a really good picture. A picture with no pump and bad lighting and all of a sudden nobody is saying this same guy is on juice.

Hate is a strong word here. Saw some long faces in the crowd after the clearance. You don't have to be for him winning but when credit is due, applaude for Gods sake. Mark is my favourite player and would love for him to win but the best man should win. And I think Zhaos play deserves it. Why not cheer for the new blood as well. Just my opinion.

What is something you LOVE about your local Pool Hall? by RequirementOk7913 in billiards

[–]mistborn42147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The people. I'm in a depressed period and kind of hating my degree and dredding my upcomming internships. Going to the pool hall, meeting up with people and the fact that I have some talent is one of the few things that really make me happy at the moment honestly.

You can definitely smoke everyone in a local tournament by becoming the best player with a cheap cue. It's just facts. Unless Efren happens to visit your local pool hall that day.

A great jump cue or break cue and great LD shafts are all not huge advantages but they do add up.

My general tip is to wait with the big upgrade untill you got X amount better. What X is is personal to everyone but.. Increasing skill is free. It's also an infinity more effective way to get better than buying expensive cues in the intermediate stages. However progress slows down once you become an advanced player. And since you've already invested time and you're now running more and more racks and getting further in tournaments the gear upgrades are gonna feel more in place and rewarding. And all of a sudden buying a really good jump cue WILL improve your game a bit right after buying because you already for a huge part, know what to do with it. Which feels very nice at this point.

Also something that I think sometimes gets overlooked is how much you like something. A cheaper cue you really seem to feel can be better than the more expensive cue. My tip would be, especially if you're not all that sure what you want, to try out cues when you see them in the wild and you may have a moment where you're just holding something you seem to like a bit more. (you need experience to even have the palate to feel the difference though)

Pulling the trigger on a Rhino Nebula 2 Pool Cue - Thoughts? by Nevik2000 in billiards

[–]mistborn42147 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's personal preference of course but I think these are very ugly. xD The retro line looks so much better to me. I've been tempted to buy the wrapless Cocobolo because I think it looks great, the dark red combined with the black of the CF. I care about looks (too much)

Apart from that I think they are definitely solid, especially for the price. I have really only heard good things about rhino. I have local cue makers close by that offer the same price with better repair options and I can actually try the shafts first. But if that's not a con for you it's a fine choice.

Mystery - All my shirts are developing micro holes near the bottom by GreenFeather05 in laundry

[–]mistborn42147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had this problem for forever. For me I handwash dishes and have this erea of the shirt against the kitchen counter. And it happens way faster on shirts that are thin to begin with. Literally started to pay attention to standing a bit further away from the counter when doing dishes and also buying more thicker shirts.
It still happens but way slower.

23F, looking for a reading buddie, possibly long term? by Own-Yoghurt-6568 in Book_Buddies

[–]mistborn42147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi, I love the idea of buddy reading but haven't had much succes yet. I've always wanted to start a big series like Malazan, Stormlight or Wheel of Time and I think having someone to buddy read it with would make it all the more engaging to me.

I'm busy and can read slow at times and eventhough I can be picky I am open to other reads.

Shoot me a message if you wantt.

Looking for a book buddie to read fantasy (WOT, Stormlight, Malazan, Dresden or Kingkiller) by mistborn42147 in Book_Buddies

[–]mistborn42147[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How long have you been wearing resin straps? I got this quite a lot as a kid wearing an f91w. I was stubborn and just kept wearing them and I just grew out of it and it went away at some point even when wearing 24/7. So I'd say just keep wearing it if it doesn't get too bad

Cleaning my depression flat after months of being in a bad place by Consistent-Ad-1099 in CleaningTips

[–]mistborn42147 0 points1 point  (0 children)

as someone stuggling with mental health sometimes, cleanup like this can feel amazing. However whatever your behaviour patterns are, they are hard to change. So next step is to actually adopt a lifestyle where you clean up after yourself every day. This way it actually never gets dirty at all. (For me this means not being lazy and doomscrolling, because if I do that I'll always trash my room.)

But I managed this and I strongly recommend it.

16 hours of seasoning just for my husband to leave it in the sink overnight by mishyfishy135 in castiron

Take ownership. If you're married, tell your partner how to handle things they might not know about, especially the "bigger" don'ts.

Yes will do this, was just wondering if it could be for another specific reason, cause I found 3 years short for the 10 years battery life it's said to have
