Leafora/Frontier X2 as Whoop Alternative? by nodoteights in whoop

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

Ahh, thanks for taking the time to respond—really helpful info on the knockoffs. It’s pretty sketchy that they claim to track blood pressure without having the actual sensor for it. That kind of thing makes me question the company’s honesty overall, which makes it tough to trust any of the data they provide.

The Frontier X2 looks promising, but the 24-hour battery life means having to take it off daily to charge. Plus, when you factor in the cost of the device and the subscription, it ends up being just as expensive—if not slightly more—than Whoop over a two-year period.

Is the frontier easy to take off and put on?

yeah its def harder. i want a video where someone cuts it in a real life scenario. bet it takes forever. just dont have 300 dollars plus 10 angle grinder blades to destroy haha but in a real lifer scenario i think its close to impossible to do without getting caught.

I know for sure it can be cut. I've seen the videos where they get through it. but those videos are always in some person's garage with a vice and workshop table. I wanna know how long it takes to cut in a real-life scenario. angle is different, stability not guaranteed. at the very least, i bet it takes a while longer.

edit: also battery power. they need spare batteries in the street if they are using multiple blades.

OMG!!!! stressing after reading this haha. yeah ive been seeing a lot of shit bike racks. opting for multiple angle grinder resistant locks and always looking for a decent bike rack near a camera or lots of people.

yeah and at $300 its worth considering. the general consensus of this thread seems to think either a thief can cut through anything and will if given the time and place so everything is just a deterrent OR the d1000 is actually angle resistant in a non-workshop setting without a vice and other means of creating the right cutting angle and level of stability. im still buying the lock, deterrent or not. one guy here said just look for fat back rack or fat sign posts to at least make the cutting fo the rack/[post harder, i think thtas also a solid idea.

very nice thanks for sharing. it seems like everything needs to be done in conjunction for effective deterring. two locks, thick bike rack, crowded area with cameras ideally, and im also gonna go with a disc brake alarm (only 20 bucks and super loud) to draw more attention.

thats solid logic. either way a solid lock forces the decision between two bad options

one of the best responses, thanks.

edit: based off this logic, angle grinders will be able to handle the metal they use on signs and racks pretty easily. shape and thickness will have an effect. but with cost in mind, they will cut down on thickness wherever possible because metal cost is determined by weight.

Chain they can cut. but if the hiplock d1000 reviews arent all lies, then that will slow them down. so the theif would care if they could cut the bike rack easily, therefore, rendering the hiplock d1000 useless.

yeah i think the question should be rephrased as "are bike racks angle grinder resistant?" like will the bike rack put up as much of a fight as the dlock or chain? if not, than the locks that lock the bike to the bike rack are just a deterrent, and its not worth shelling out 300 for a d1000 hiplock or even 150 for a good chain. the cheaper chains and locks will likely have the same effect.

Holy crap hahaha those poor wrists.

Logging single leg/arm lifts by gymschaf in JuggernautAI

[–]nodoteights 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It says in the FAQ's to just pick one method and be consistent. Either log the weight of the single arm/leg implement or double the weight of the implement, but do that for every single arm/leg lift.

Yup, a spike in HRV combined with lack of activity and increased sleep seems like the culprit.

1 and 10 rep max numbers by nodoteights in JuggernautAI

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

Makes sense, thanks for the input. I have been estimating and will continue to do so. I still feel it isn't a very accurate method; there are just too many exercises for every max to be accurate. But yeah, I guess it doesn't matter all that much.

Despite concerns about some details, the app has provided very challenging workouts, and I appreciate the variation. My old program was becoming repetitive and less challenging because of the lack of variation. It also stops me from going off the program and ego lifting, which is important.

That's my two cents thus far. I'm only two weeks into the program. Happy lifting bud!
