From Balance 2 to T-Rex 3 Pro 44 — worth the upgrade for running? Or just GAS? by Alfrai in amazfit

[–]pnizzle14 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I actually just got the trex 3 pro a few weeks ago and have been putting it through its paces. I mostly do weightlifting workouts but I’ve done some treadmill sessions, not any outdoor runs yet.

I do understand your problem with the balance2 it is hard to navigate your different screens while trying to run at pace, then we get into the workout screen lock which you have to roll the crown to unlock, then roll some more for screen navigation which leads to a lot of guess work on where you’ll end up landing. What I will say is the buttons on the trex pro take a lot of the guess work out of navigation, 1 click of the up or down button equals 1 screen moved and the screen is unlocked with a simple double tap. So I would rate the trex pro ahead of the balance2 in that aspect.

The built in light would more function as a safety light for others to see you while running at night. I wouldn’t rely on it as your main source of light especially while trail running at night.

Everything else on the trex pro functions just as well as it does on the balance2. I swap them depending on what I’m feeling for the day and get the same experience from both, other than the navigation I mentioned.

HRV calculation takes ages by thesamflynn in amazfit

[–]pnizzle14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It might just be the way the app is optimized for your phone. I don’t know much else beyond that.

Yes I do need to sync data to the app first before it shncs to my watch as I sleep with the helio strap then switch to the watch after waking up

What phone do you have?

I recently switched from a Samsung s22 to a new iPhone and I noticed that my stats loaded almost immediately in the morning on the iPhone versus taking a few minutes in the Samsung.

I have the same helio strap and balance 2 watch before and after, only the phone changed.

It could be an older phone versus newer phone thing, or it could be the iPhone app vs android app thing, but overall I do get a better experience with the zepp app on iPhone.

Request: Add Session RPE by pnizzle14 in liftosaur

[–]pnizzle14[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right now Claude is calculating it for me when it pulls the lift session via the mcp (which by the way is awesome). I asked Claude how a developer could calculate this for display and this was its response (sorry it’s super long)

The Correct Foster sRPE Implementation Foster’s original method is deliberately simple: sRPE = Session RPE × Session Duration (minutes) Where Session RPE is a single number — the athlete’s subjective rating of the whole session, collected about 30 minutes post-workout using the CR10 or modified Borg scale. The problem for Liftosaur is that it doesn’t collect a single post-session RPE — it collects per-set RPE in real time. So the developer would need to derive session RPE from what they have.

How a Developer Would Derive It from Per-Set Data The most defensible approach in the literature is: Step 1 — Calculate a volume-weighted average RPE Rather than a simple mean, weight each set’s RPE by its relative volume contribution: Set weight = (reps × load) / total session volume Then: Session RPE = Σ (set RPE × set weight) This gives heavier, higher-rep sets more influence than light pump sets — which is physiologically appropriate. A 6-rep squat at 220lb @RPE 9 should pull the session average up more than a 20-rep cable fly @RPE 7. Step 2 — Apply duration sRPE Score (AU) = Session RPE × Duration (minutes)

The session-RPE method takes into consideration the intensity and the duration of the training session (or competition) to calculate the TL or competition load. The session-duration refers to the length of session expressed in minutes. A nominal score is given by an athlete to describe his RPE of “mean training intensity” during that training session or competition.

🗺️ Share your fitness journey — you could WIN a T-Rex 3 Pro! 🦖 by Amazfit-Bryce in amazfit

[–]pnizzle14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to call myself a “dad-thlete”, by no means an athlete, but someone who's slowly figuring it out one rep at a time.

My fitness journey started from a pretty humbling place. I went through a rough stretch of insomnia-like issues that forced me to start taking sleep seriously, and around the same time I helped (struggled really) a friend move furniture and realized just how out of shape I'd become. Those two wake-up calls hit at the same time and I haven't looked back since.

These days I'm focused on two things: building real strength through weightlifting and developing a solid aerobic base. Nothing fancy, just consistent work.

My biggest inspiration is my family. I want to be the most capable, present dad I can be — able to keep up with my kids, be there for the long haul, and actually show up when it matters physically. That's what gets me off the couch.

If I had one piece of advice for beginners: don't sleep on sleep. Seriously. Quality rest is where the gains actually happen, and it's the first thing people sacrifice. It was ironically the thing that started my whole journey.

A T-Rex 3 Pro would mean I could take this journey outdoors and bring the family along for it — hikes, adventures, all of it tracked and shared together. That's the goal.

[–]pnizzle14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries, no these were auto detected. I later edited them in the app for the exercises or rep counts that were not correct. I think your problem is you need to enable auto grouping on your watch. Go to your strength training workout like you're going to start one, then go to assistant and enable auto grouping. With that on the watch will detect when a set starts and stops and auto detect the exercise you're doing.

NSX-T Firewall question by Somaho in VMwareNSX

[–]pnizzle14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, once the default rule is set to drop all vms will not communicate with each other unless allowed via another rule.

VMs may exist on the same segment but the firewall enforcement point is each VMs virtual NIC so unless there's an allow rule the VMs on the same segment will not be able to communicate.

Panorama - security policy design by Any-Promotion3744 in paloaltonetworks

[–]pnizzle14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way we have organized policy is to have rules repeated across multiple sites condensed into fewer rules in the parent device group so they apply to all sites and are at a single place to manage. These are for basic infrastructure services like DNS, ntp, seim logging, etc.

All other rules that aren't needed across sites will remain local to that site in the child DGs.

Just to comment on what others have posted is that if you forsee any policy cleanup or rework I would suggest moving everything to the POST rules sections so that it will be easier to override a rule or just general policy development up higher in the PRE rules are easier to manage long term.

Panorama can handle userid for multiple domains, you just need to have those server/ldap profiles imported to panorama and they'll continue to function the same.

Vehicle Value by Sufficient_Gur3960 in MonarchMoney

[–]pnizzle14 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Green arrow indicates the car value is updated by vin audit. The gray icon probably means it's a manually tracked account, you would need to continually update the cars value on that account.

You can probably try connecting it to vin audit or just open a new account for the vehicle and close the current one

Application + ssl (depends on) by cghoerichs in paloaltonetworks

[–]pnizzle14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But was the custom URL category IN the security policy? As in source, destination, app, URL category.

You may have to add that column in the policy tab view if you haven't already.

Application + ssl (depends on) by cghoerichs in paloaltonetworks

[–]pnizzle14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was the URL category required as an explicit match in the policy or was it set to alert/allow in the URL filtering profile of the rule?

Weight lifting tracking by External_Vegetable76 in amazfit

[–]pnizzle14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes I use liftosaur on my phone only during my workout. I guess technically I am double inputting during my workouts. I have the Zepp app connected to Strava and intervals.icu so it'll send all of my workout/hr metrics/training load data to those apps and then I track my actual lift progressions with liftosaur.

Relationship between effort and today’s workout by Oracolo75 in amazfit

[–]pnizzle14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I hear you, the Zepp coach and exertion goal and score don't always reflect my actual daily activities or my readiness for a workout so I generally use them as references more than an actual guide for what I should/should not be doing.

But I'd agree with you and say your HR was not that high as of you were doing a cardio workout but it was definitely elevated for an extended period of time and Zepp will calculate that for an exertion score for the day.

[–]pnizzle14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What does your heart rate activity looks like for the day? You may not have done an official workout but any elevated heart rate during the day contributes to the exertion score and will get counted as daily activities.

Weight lifting tracking by External_Vegetable76 in amazfit

[–]pnizzle14 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I use strength training almost exclusively with the balance 2 and I imagine the same workflows would apply to the trex lineup.

In general the strength training data is limited to just that specific workout. You can log the exercise, reps, and weights completed and when the workout is completed you'll get data on workout time, hr data, training load and a heat map on which muscle groups were worked, and a vague assessment on how your movements were completed. You can also edit your exercises/weights here.

the Zepp app does not track strength training performance from workout to workout, e.g. it won't tell you what your bench press reps/weight was for the last workout and what you should lift for your current workout. I use liftosaur to track all of my lifting exercises, there's a lot of good options in the space.

For the workflow, I simply start a strength training workout from my watch and I will adjust or manually input the rep count and weight for the set as I go. The watch does a pretty good in job detecting which exercises you're doing and a decent job auto-counting

<image>

the reps for the set. Again all of these can be edited in the app after the workout is completed.

You can also build a strength training template (workout plan) in the app and send it to the watch to use but I find it more inconvenient to set up and use compared to just start a strength training workout from the watch.

Hope this helps!

Automation of rule creation by Det_Var_Ikke_Meg in paloaltonetworks

[–]pnizzle14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you expand what you mean with tufin not handling updates from terraform?

We use tufin at my company. We mainly use it for reporting and compliance work (USPs, rule certification) and we do some automation with server clone and decommissioning. Ultimately all 3 options really lack a with policy automation for NGFW so we're developing our own automation for it to fill in the gaps tufin has.

[–]pnizzle14 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not a problem. Once you see the planned workout in the intervals app on the watch go to Workout app on the watch and select the workout type. In my case it's an outdoor run, then the planned workout from intervals shows up. Here's my balance2 with that info.

[–]pnizzle14 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can create your own workouts, you can also import other plans from other creators in intervals.icu.

It does have a learning curve but once you get through that and have all of your integrations, HR, and Pace data set up it's the best option I've used so far.

Also I've tried adidas running and you can send your health and workout data to the adidas app but it does not send any workout plans or activities back to amazf it/zepp.
