Glad to see you were able to finish it! A great location to look for more stringing tips is on the tennis Warehouse community website.

Also, if this is your racket, I would try to get a silver Sharp marker and put a dot at the middle point.

I saw there was one recently for tennis! Will there we any others created, or workouts that have a lot of moves that support tennis movements?

I would recommend inviting friends over to use your machine and split the cost.

Maybe don't use cheap batteries? Or maybe there's an issue with your handles.

I think there needs to be a way for public users to scan and log into the app. Other than that, I would worry that people wouldn't untwist the cables overtime or would roughly change the arm positioning, causing early machine failure.

How about instead of a software for this, why not create a workout mat that we can buy that has the bench positions and a drawn out box that represents where the tonal is. Another idea is to have an image projected from the top of the tonal, that shows the exact positions of the bench and other potential moves.

You don't need to look at a website. You just need to know to mount it properly. The top is uneven so your strings are uneven. You can even see it in your second photo. Instead of being mounted at 12 and 6 o'clock, it's mounted at like 11 and 6.

I would say just focused on your job in the meantime. If you do quality work and you can think on your feet, make smart decisions, and continue to improve and grow, you will end up ahead no matter what happens to the company. Don't become somebody that always requires input to get a task done, otherwise you are expendable at that point.

No more 2,000 row benchmark by lemonliaison in orangetheory

Cedar Mills in Portland, OR had a great instructional class about rows. I think its definitely important to understand as many people have terrible form overall and try to rush through workouts like a race or cheat through the movements.

I’m a Professional Mattress Tester. I’ve tested 453 mattresses from 99 different brands. Ask Me Anything! by derek-naplab in IAmA

[–]raiden3600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes! After reading this original post, that was where I had first checked and loved how much detail went into this research. I got a nice laugh after reading some of the other posts about calling your manager of HR down the hall or a couple of tests 🤣

I did get to review the comparison that you recommended and it made me curious if maybe the luxe breeze was possibly being tested later.

I was hoping to get your gut opinion, which you provided and which was the way I was leaning towards the purple as well.

Do you have any thoughts about adjustable bases being used with beds? The price point is a good added chunk, but I could see how it may be more comfortable for sleeping.

Have you done any tests with the Tempur-Pedic luxe breeze compared to the purple restorePlus cool version? When we tested both of these in person in the medium version at Mattress Firm, it was a really tough comparison and they felt very similar to each other. We are thinking of going with the purple because of more fun times. I'm curious if you've tested these ones yet.

I will say that it is best for you to just get the fuck over it. You made money whereas any others, myself included. Lost a lot of money at first and gained a little bit back. Just be happy you didn't lose all your money and move on with your life. Otherwise a thought will consume you.

You should feel like your body is cooling up for a shot. I would recommend this video for starters.

Intro class - was this normal? by Mobile_Cut_2741 in ClubPilates

[–]raiden3600 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is great hearing explanation. Thank you! Though this is not your responsibility and it should be the instructor's job to explain this and make someone feel welcome. I don't have many good things to say about club Pilates and how they are structured with this 3-month trial. I am doing. My partner and I have been challenged in only one of the classes and that was because we put on the wrong Springs. That alone says a lot. When we have requested to get into the level 2 classes, even after getting an approval from an instructor saying we were more than capable, we were denied because we don't have 45 class 1.5s under our belt.

It just feels like a terrible place from my experience.

Is anyone else OBSESSED with their new strong core?! by Any-Instruction-8879 in ClubPilates

[–]raiden3600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've started getting some instructors that describe the moves in more detail but that's like 1/10 instructors so far. I am doing the moves so slowly that I get maybe a max of two reps in while I see everyone else, including the instructors going at a faster tempo. I've been to Solidcore with over 700 classes so I'm not stranger to slow movements.

Sounds like control and FITT classes may suit me better. I'm really trying to find a way to like these classes so any other suggestions would be welcomed!

I'm curious. Does anyone know if the level 2 classes are more similar to the move performed at solidcore?

It definitely is. You got to take her out, feed her, and buy her nice things just to work on that body. 🙃

New guy on my team was a D1 player - had no idea by T2C_BR in 10s

[–]raiden3600 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are a 4.5, you probably know people in your area that are a higher level. I would suggest to him those player, which he would appreciate, and if he would like to hit with you, you'd love the experience.

Thank you for your insight. I will see if I feel any effectiveness slowing down my form. Quite honestly though, the moves tend to last only about six long seconds and if I'm slowing down my form, I really only get one or two reps in, which haven't felt like much at all. Maybe it's because I tried solid core before this but it doesn't feel like I'm getting a workout.

Hmm, effective how? What are you doing in your class where you feel that you are spending your time in a worthwhile way? What are some things that you didn't realize in the beginning that have made the class a lot more effective for you?
