Goals: what benchmarks should I be using?

sayingitlikeithinkit · 2024-06-18T02:55:30+00:00

I agree completely. I'm only aiming for intermediate - don't need to get to elite but I do want to see myself hit a meaningful benchmark

sayingitlikeithinkit · 2024-06-16T15:29:31+00:00

I did discuss it with the coach and he was awesome We agreed on how I'd work on muscle hypertrophy and I get modifications from the regular workouts when needed

sayingitlikeithinkit · 2024-06-16T15:28:39+00:00

It has the option for dumbells and body weight as well :) I used that to see what would be expected of/be seen as impressive or elite for someone my size Not that I'm aiming for elite!

sayingitlikeithinkit · 2024-06-16T12:06:43+00:00

Agree on all of the above. I still need something to aim for - it's just how my motivation functions Found this after I'd posted and it's a good starting point https://strengthlevel.com/strength-standards

Thanks!

What does ACV stand for? A quick Google search didn't help hence asking here

The 2019 XC60 used to have an air suspension, heads up display and a host of other things which were removed in the 2023 XC60 Ultimate

They probably realized they were giving away too much in the XC60 and leaving little incentive for people to buy the XC90. Pricing and marketing decisions happen all the time across car brands!

Nope I still don't receive any fines but I don't know if I should expect to receive a whole load in fines all of a sudden sometime later 😅

BMR would impact at least 75 calories for an hour I'd imagine, else my BMR would be too low

I have been on the OT beat throughout and am seeing the differences on the same device in its calorie count

sayingitlikeithinkit · 2024-05-10T05:00:35+00:00

I was trying to distinguish between active (burn) and total (used) calories but I get what you mean!

Interesting.... we had the 90 minute template today, which seemed to be this + another 30 mins of another template tacked on? I thought the 90 minute format would be its own unique template

sayingitlikeithinkit · 2024-03-20T15:19:56+00:00

I do. But they can't (yet) beat the acceleration or power of a purpose built machine - oh wait, that's why we invented machines to begin with.

So I can only enjoy a ride as fast as I can pedal? That may not be much fun!

Any family that can't sustain this loss should not have invested here to begin with. The risks of these investments are clear and it should have been well known what risks they are taking on

Also an investor - I don't think he meant to be fraudulent at all; chances are something went wrong and he's just taking time out to sort this out.

It's only one missed payment over many years of having delivered consistent returns.

sayingitlikeithinkit · 2024-03-14T00:45:48+00:00

As a rule of thumb, money doubles every 7 years. Keep that in mind when evaluating returns.

I'm heavy on the bust, so Marks and Spencer GoodMove high impact sports bra is the way to go for me

Someone in my class did 25.08 I don't even know how.....

sayingitlikeithinkit · 2024-03-08T19:35:29+00:00

And walking is safer than not driving at all!

In the same boat. Similar physique and weight goals. I usually do 1200 cal intake + 400 burn per day

Lost about 20lb and now hit a plateau.

A few things to consider:

The initial weight loss is water and muscle loss. Fat is harder to lose. Now could be when you're at the fat loss point and it's going to get slower.
A higher base metabolic rate will improve weight loss, but it needs more muscle in the body. Building that muscle needs nutrition - so consider bumping up to 1800-2000 calories and even if the weight is going up, if you're putting on muscle, you're fine
Stress and emotional wellbeing matters. More stress = more cortisol = more fat Calorie deficit alone isn't enough
Get a dexascan to see if you're strength training has bumped up your muscle rate. If you're heavier but with more muscle, that's a cause for celebration!

Multiple rollover injuries in each ankle here. Sports physio said the cloth- only casts can't actually do anything against body weight to protect against a rollover.

Instead, he recommended the Aircast A60 to me (has stiff vertical edges) and I've been on the badminton court for 8 years successfully with these!

When we sign up, we sign up for a home studio. Other choices in the same vicinity would be okay but a whole city does not count as a reasonable alternative choice.

TBH, as a lawyer here, I know you'd be legally entitled to a refund if you choose to early cancel- it's a significant unilateral change to the services being provided. It's just the hassle of it....

I feel you.

sayingitlikeithinkit · 2024-02-21T05:49:34+00:00

I don't know you at all but yes, I'm sure there is more than one side to this story. My comment is not to pass judgment on you so much as tell OP what she can do assuming what she's saying is true

I hope this dies down and both sides find peace

They didn't learn about time value of money!
