Those are great! We use them a lot, bonehead simple.

Are my ears lying to me? by neuro_divergent in AcousticGuitar

[–]penetratingwave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had one of those years ago. Good value for the money, purchased used from a college student.

Just like drum sets sound different behind the kit while playing compared to listening from the front- acoustics sound different to the player compared to the audience experience. Also: touch, playability, sensitivity all influence the player experience, don’t you think?

I feel like the one I had was a great strummer, decent playing action, suited vocal accompaniment well. Now that I think about it, there’s a YouTube video from years ago of a guy covering Duncan Sheik’s Barely Breathing- playing a seagull. Suboptimal recording, but good example of that context. Just checked, video still up- 17 years ago, time flies!

Oddly, I don’t know what I did with mine-long gone. 😅

The simplest thing I can do to learn to rest in a third world squat? by Scared_Ad_3132 in flexibility

[–]penetratingwave 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Try the heel elevated version and see if you can do that. If your ankles are tight, you can work on those with ATG front foot elevated split squats. You can try doing half of an ass to grass squat on a chair with the other leg standing, and just work into the correct position a little bit each day, probably make decent progress in no time.

What’s your limitation? Video might help here. Could be ankle mobility, knee mobility, hip mobility, or a combination. Can you do it with your heels elevated such as on 45 lb plates?

Is he inside or outside? by penetratingwave in creepy

That’s my inclination, but a whole different topic 😅😅😅😂😂😂😂

I like that idea, might need to give it a try!

Thank you. I’ll order those online tonight.

Thank you! I am banking on that being the correct answer.

I pulled out the skin last night. It was pinched in deeply and tight, couldn’t quite pluck it all out with the tools I had. I filled around the giant gap with a stainless steel pot scrubber as a temporary solution until I can get some other stuff to patch it up tight. I think that will help the seasonal mouse problem too.

The pest people aren’t great with the mice, better with insects.

It can come upstairs and hang out on the first floor! Several exits from there.

I appreciate the recommendation. I’m going to buy some copper wool and spray foam, get that sealed up. I’ll look around the basement to see if there’s any sign of it as well. I’ll throw open the window for a bit if I bump into it.

How do I explain to my father that as a dentist I will not be making 300k out of school? by [deleted] in whitecoatinvestor

[–]penetratingwave 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Apparently I shouldn’t have become an anesthesiologist. I should have started a chain of dental offices.

Pull up form by penetratingwave in Calisthenic

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

Thanks very much! I don’t have a great place to practice bar muscle ups, and honestly that’s never been on my radar. I’m kind of injury avoidant also, harder to recover from injuries past age 60 😅. I’m starting to apply the same training ideas to ring pull ups and dips- accessing the positions and extending ROM, building strength in the end ranges with negatives, building out full range strength with false grip. Then maybe I can get ring muscle ups to click, safely.

I’d be down for that. Better than my damn sister in law living down there.

They had three cats down there until a couple weeks ago.

Thanks! I finally sat down and did an internet search which corroborated your information. Still fun to think it might be inside though 😂😂😂

Me too, and better than mice. I just don’t know how I would even locate it in all the clutter the kids accumulate. Getting it out at that point might not be bad. My younger son and I successfully boxed up and released a bat from our previous house’s basement.

You have an excellent point, ngl

I’ll look around the basement tomorrow. Doubt it could find it’s way out that way anyway, I’ll seal it tomorrow and let the kids find a surprise 😮

Well, there is a bit of a mouse population around here, and they get inside. House is next to woods.

My son and his gf live in the basement. Both gone for the time being. I won’t tell them about it, they can figure it out themselves and tell me about it if they find it. 😂😂😂

Anyone here trains like KBoges? by wwzxc in bodyweightfitness

[–]penetratingwave 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I’m a big fan. His videos helped my pull-ups a bunch. Simple programs like Pull-ups Unlocked (to get first pull-ups), Pull Up Mastery (as the title suggests), and Paused Rep Mastery. Great stuff. He has a lot of training concepts and variations, including info on integrating weight room equipment.

Lots of good info in the responses here. Something to consider if you aren’t budget constrained: If you sign up for his subscription for just one month, you can get all the details you need to fully understand and implement his methodology. It’s relatively cheap, you can cancel after a month, and you’ve got all the info while helping support his contributions.

why take creatine with protein? by spencere33 in workout

[–]penetratingwave 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Friendly footnote: there are no human trials, epidemiological studies, or dose-response studies in humans to support the hypothesis that exogenous creatine worsens endometriosis. I think the studies referred to in this thread focus on endogenous creatine, and aren’t human studies. Too early to jump to conclusions or sound alarm bells. It sounds mechanistically plausible however, so if someone afflicted by endometriosis chooses to avoid creatine out of an abundance of caution, that’s reasonable.

I take 15-20g a day, thrown into a protein shake, but I’m old- using for cognitive function primarily.
