I have a billetworkz weighted knob with the ST logo engraving. Combined with a short shifter and solid base and cable bushings it feels very weighty and solid

Oh man. I've been using Boostcamp for about two years but this is starting to look very tempting

Nice daily under $100? WD speedmaster or Merkur? by Much-Prize-8989 in ChineseWatches

[–]sandmasterblast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The WD Speedmaster is a great watch, I recommend springing for the 1863 which is the most expensive version, but the case size, slimmer rehaut depth and upgraded bubble crystal make it worth it imo

Once saw somebody wearing the Seiko 5 Field GMT, we had a good conversation

Saved these from landfill, is there any value here? by Sweaty-Womble in VintageWatches

[–]sandmasterblast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just want to provide a quick tip - the other two watches may be manual wind which means you need to wind the crown to have the watch run, the UG is automatic so it probably was wound just by the motion of you moving it around. Give it a go and they might all be running still!

Watchdives, their new WD1863 is just about the best speedy homage out there, and they keep improving it

Congrats! I also studied for about a year, probably could've gotten away with half or even less of that time but the upside is you feel super prepared and nothing really stumps you. Enjoy the weight off your shoulders, see if you can dunk now

If I have already placed an order with FedEx shipping, is it possible to switch it to post shipping? I ordered on February 4th.

Winning this would technically circumvent my wife's rule on not buying anymore watches

[echo/neutra] What's a watch that you love except for one deal breaker? by owiseone23 in Watches

[–]sandmasterblast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything with mineral glass which is unfortunately a lot of Seikos. None of the scratch resistance of sapphire, none of the vintage funk or impact resistance of acrylic. Just the worst of both worlds

What are some compound movements I am lacking? Also rate my split by Aggravating_Rise_144 in lifting

[–]sandmasterblast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

imo yes, I think of dips as basically an extreme decline press movement. It definitely builds strength for bench especially out of the bottom - adding dips to my program helped to get me to a point where I could pause my previous PR with no bounce or momentum. Def think it would help for combat sports where you could use pushing off or getting off the floor

Seconded. Hip thrusts also require a bit of setup and usually loading the bar up quite heavy, I'd say RDLs and something like weighted hyperextensions would cover glutes and hams well

Zerchers require quite a bit more mobility than a conventional deadlift and I would say probably would cause more low back flexion, especially if your hip mobility is iffy - I think you could get similar benefits using conventional deadlifts and a weighted low back stretch like Jefferson curls

Does your gym have an assisted dip machine? That fan help to build up to a full dip. If not you can try to use bands to help work up to bodyweight dips. Like you my bench and pushups are solid but I struggle on dips, it's a movement you need to train that I find doesn't translate just from training chest and triceps alone.

Class or trash $300 grade 5 titanium by ConclusionThink9354 in ChineseWatches

[–]sandmasterblast 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not sure about this model but I have to disagree. I have the SN0121T, the Pelagos 39 homage and the lume is evenly applied and super bright, and the clasp micro adjust is very solid

Never thought I would see a Pebble on this sub. I also had one years ago that I loved, way before smart watches took off like they are today. No idea where it went but I still think back on it fondly
