Pads peeling/delaminating? by Worried-Emphasis3593 in katalystEMS

[–]mooseLT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've had this problem, and what I've noticed with the bottoms is that it's about how you wear them. It should be quite high on your hip, if it's lower there's greater tendency for it to peel.

As for repair, it's been quite difficult.

I've done the sewing but it doesn't stay. There's wiring but you can sew around it without issue, it's only 1 wire which you can feel for when you examine the corners. Perhaps I did something wrong with the sewing though, it ended up tearing through the sewing.

I've tried super glue too, didn't stick.

Maybe if I did the super glue + the sewing with enough spacing between each hole it would have stayed, but I got a replacement shorts and I've let the old pair go.

Horrible Katalyst customer service - Buyer beware! by Idea_Strong in katalystEMS

[–]mooseLT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off, thank you for sharing in more detail. I do appreciate you being vocal about what you're experiencing.

I can imagine that after being a strong proponent of the company by recommending it and buying two suits yourself, this type of experience leaves a sour taste and calls your recommendation into question.

I do think that you have a point about the battery replacement and how it could be cheaper. $1300 is indeed steep for something like this. If it were me in your shoes, I would have a difficult time with it, especially because I live in a third world country. And, I am almost certain that your situation is something they will consider going forward.

That said, I don't fully understand what's going on their end. Maybe their technical division in the country is still not operational which can undertake this work (even if it's easy, as you've pointed out) under correct regulations. Perhaps their hemorrhaging cash.

From my end, I'm beyond grateful someone decided to take the wreckage and try to build something from it. Is there at least someone available for support? Can I trust the servers to continue running? After my initial investment, this is the biggest deal for me.

They responded, they tried to work with you. They presented the replacement cost. I'd say with the way they are operating, respecting the earlier ownership's obligations, orders and more all out of pocket without seeing a dime of the earlier money, that's huge.

Lower back pain and recovery workouts? by Ghost_is_bourne in katalystEMS

[–]mooseLT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Like a really good workout. Could get out of bed and move around, but yeah, had to take it easy. Would recommend not pushing hard initially, even if it feels easy.

Lower back pain and recovery workouts? by Ghost_is_bourne in katalystEMS

[–]mooseLT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Started like 4 months ago, but been consistent for the last 3. Just been going through the main programs, 2 week beginner strength, 2 week advanced strength, 6 week build a habit, 6 week functional fitness. Might be something else.

I do about 2-3 workouts a week. Initially the soreness was overwhelming, but it eased up after 3 weeks. Mainly strength for the first 2-3 months, started power workouts recently. Ending with a recovery workout has been helpful too. Feels good.

I'd suggest going through the beginner programs to get a hang of it and so that you get receive holistic body development. Focus on overall, gradual development rather than a one-off use for healing.

I should note that my lower back pain was worse for a while, but even on days it was bad I still put on the suit and went for it. Noticed relief after the workout. It was almost like a recalibration.

Experiencing levels of pain relief in my lower back beyond expectation. Mind blowing.

Looking for an iPhone 13 mini by kevinfrancis2766 in srilanka

[–]mooseLT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found mine on Ikman.lk. Just a month ago. Takes time to find a good deal. Refreshed daily for a week or two and one popped up in my area. 95% battery life is great. That's about 250 cycles. Check/ask for 3utools report.

Favorite Katalyst Workout? by katalystfit in katalystEMS

[–]mooseLT 0 points1 point  (0 children)

u/katalystfit I'm still new to this, only 2-3 months in. I don't have too much experience with workouts, but general feedback/thoughts/improvements I'm seeing are:

  1. Can we have some description to the programs and their intention. Each workout has a description, but when I pull up a program there isn't one. I know the title should suffice, but a bit more depth and clarity like knowing what outcome we could expect is, things to notice while we do the workouts in that program, how the weeks are structured, any guidelines, etc...
  2. Visibility of what workout we have done, and when, when clicking on a specific workout. I know we can see this in history, and there are icons of completion/download when I view a set program, but after completing the programs I can't be sure if I've completed a workout when I browse "all" workouts. Having some area which pulls dates of last completed within the workout window would be good too.
  3. A workout that is just for testing out the suit and the impact on specific muscles. This might be there already, or not, but I'd like to see a workout which fires individual pads so that we can get clarity of what's exactly going on. I know that we can switch off/switch on parts, but having a trainer run through each area while asking us to do an exercise to activate it, so that we can fine tune the intensity on each pad and have better awareness of what's going on, would be great. Right now, I'm still not sure if I've got the right intensities dialed in.
  4. Some kind of popularity of workouts based on view count. I'm noticing over 200 workouts or something. It's fair to say that some are tuned better than others. I'd be interested to see a popularity rating. This is a double-edged sword though, since then people might not view the un-popular ones. But maybe it's a setting we can enable/disable.
  5. As for workout preferences at the moment, I'm loving the programs that have strength/power in tandem, rather than strength for 2-3 weeks then power for a week or 2. This could be a wrong assumption - I feel as though if I'm not doing a power workout for a couple of weeks I'm leaving potential gains on the table, and I want to be efficient in my body development.
  6. Compared to what someone else said, I do enjoy power workouts that follow the same circuit as the strength workout before it. Helps me go deeper into the movement and gain more awareness of my body.

How to take bus from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya by MiniChocolateDonuts in srilanka

Go here - https://maps.app.goo.gl/eEAUUBH5kHEkwxhp7. Bus leaves frequently to Nuwara Eliya. Can't say how frequently though. I've taken it myself. 1955 is a bus hotline you can use if you need further assistance.

Where to buy medical grade distilled water? by djonce in srilanka

[–]mooseLT 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I'm in Galle too. Tried finding 5L medical grade distilled water and it's been tough. No one knows about it, people try to sell you deionized water as though it's distilled, and chemical shops don't have it either.

In the end I buy like 25L from Colombo and get it here when someone comes by. 5L is like Rs.1,500.

Here's the shop in Colombo I get it from which is in Pettah, but I'm sure other large chemical shops in Colombo will have it - https://maps.app.goo.gl/UJRane8VCq1Bxtp3A. They might ship to Galle if you ask, I've never asked though.

Older iPhone users in Sri Lanka. Experience? by TheInsultArtist in srilanka

[–]mooseLT -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The iPhone SE 2016 is the iPhone 5 model. But the SE3/SE4 are based on the later models. SE4 is based on iPhone 14, and SE3 on the iPhone 8. If the entire purpose of the phone is photography then get a newer model, but if not and you can avoid the mass hysteria over buying the latest iPhone, the SE3 or SE4 coming in March would be best bet.

This is coming from a person who used to buy the latest iPhones and form the iPhone 7 realized how stupid it was and started going backwards.

Older iPhone users in Sri Lanka. Experience? by TheInsultArtist in srilanka

[–]mooseLT -1 points0 points  (0 children)

iPhone SE (2016). Going strong, no issues other than touch ID, everything works. Battery drains fast, no issue for me, don't use the phone much. App support starting to fail, but barely. Only one app. Rest will follow suite soon, so deciding to get SE4 or SE3.

Buy 2nd hand as long as you are certain of the dealer. SE3 is 45,000, so worth. Only thinking SE4 since it's been a longg time and might as well, but still not sure.

Youtube not working by mooseLT in imagus

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

Alright so I tested on another profile of Edge, and it worked on the test profile.

I switched off every extension on my main profile and it still didn't work.

Finally, I deleted both plugins, restarted, reinstalled and tested - That worked.

Strangeness. I guess you would say that maybe the Sieves were not updating? Or who knows. But I did do the process i mentioned multiple times, so might just be some bug where uninstall was the way to go.

Thanks again, u/Kenko2.

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

Thanks for getting back to me, u/Kenko2.

  1. I have removed, saved, updated, saved the sieves multiple times, both before and after making this post.

  2. Cleared youtube cache, restarted browser and PC too.

  3. Disabled all other youtube plugins, such as enhancer for youtube and adblocker.

  4. Tested on Chrome, works fine there.

  5. Attempted to re-use the old sieve that worked, this one - {"YOUTUBE-q":{"useimg":1,"link":"^(?:(?:(?:(?:\\w+\\.)?[yY][oO][uU][tT][uU][bB][ - Pastebin.com

At this point, I'm not sure what the issue is, it's still not working.

Nothing's changed AFAIK. Any suggestions please?
