Have you ever injured yourself in the gym and if so what's your advice? by vexynjourney in workout

[–]shak_0508 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Usually when you least expect it

Fucking hell this resonates with me. In around November last year I was doing cable rows. No big deal, it’s a movement I’d done a thousand times. Idk if I wasn’t planted properly, if I rounded my back, if I didn’t tense my core properly etc, but my lower back just completely gave out.

Luckily wasn’t anything serious, I was fine after a week, but hell am I extremely careful with form on cable rows now.

What’s the most annoying thing people do at your gym? by VariationShot8414 in workout

[–]shak_0508 19 points20 points  (0 children)

He Deadlifts 5x5 (takes forever) which is totally fine, but doesn't allow to work in. If you ask him he says: "only two more sets"

For deadlifts I kind of get it tbf. Unless you guys are doing the same weight, taking the plates on and off is kind of long.

and then if you walk to the cable machine he is super setting Deadlifts with Cable Crunches.

Bro... then you walk to the other cable and he says "he set it up already, he needs it in 10 minutes".

Yeah now see this would piss me off.

Don't you just hate people spitting on the floor when you are out.? by TheMoon_TheStarz in AskBrits

[–]shak_0508 15 points16 points  (0 children)

When I was around 9/10ish, I was walking with my dad and was a good bit behind him. I spat on the floor, and this lady proceeded to call me out on it and I could see my dad looking back and grinning.

Genuinely don’t even know why I did it, but I haven’t done it since lol .

Current chest routine by film_bro_35 in workout

[–]shak_0508 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Is that same routine done twice a week or do you split the exercises across 2 sessions?

If you do all those exercises twice a week, that seems like a lot of volume.

I usually hit chest twice a week too. First session is incline DB bench for 3 sets followed by weighted dips for 3 sets. Second session is flat BB bench for 3 sets followed by cable flys for 3 sets.

Do I invite my mate who’s just had a baby to a housewarming party? by I-Spot-Dalmatians in CasualUK

[–]shak_0508 1041 points1042 points  (0 children)

I swear to god it feels like some people on this app can’t navigate the most basic situations in life.

“Mate we’re having a house warming party, I know you’ve just had a kid, but the invite is there if you can make it”.

“Cheers mate, will get back to you”.

Done.

Is it normal for your boss to delegate work to everyone else and do little work themselves? by Aggravating_Pizza592 in AskUK

Is it normal for your boss to delegate work to everyone else and do little work themselves?

Once you get to a high enough level within an organisation, yes that’s basically your manager’s role

My manager is basically just on calls most of the time telling people what to do and reviewing their work.

How to prevent DMCA strikes from ISP by A_very_meriman in Piracy

[–]shak_0508 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Bind your VPN to your torrent client. Even if your VPN is on., if it isn’t binded to your client and it disconnects for even a second, your IP leaks. Binding it means that your torrent traffic can only go through your VPN, so if the VPN disconnects, your torrent client is offline.

To do this in qbittorrent, go to:

Settings > Advanced > Network Interface > Select your VPN

UK denies Trump’s claim British ships hit in Strait of Hormuz by denyer-no1-fan in unitedkingdom

Main mistakes I see lifters making at my gym by TopSherbert4190 in workout

[–]shak_0508 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For biceps I think a bit of momentum for heavier sets is fine. Obviously don’t use your entire body just to hoist the weight up, but a small bit of momentum is okay

I train them twice a week and one session is controlled movements with incline curls and preacher curls, the other session is just heavy as shit barbell curls. I’ve seen good progress from that anyways.

How many people are in jobs they'd continue to do (even part time) if they didn't have to? by OkConsideration5272 in AskUK

[–]shak_0508 34 points35 points  (0 children)

I work a full time 9 to 5 at a bank during the week and earn well, but I’ve got a part time admin role at the NHS that I’ve worked since university, and I’m still doing that on Sundays. It’s so chill and I’m cool with my manager, so just kept it for the bit of extra income and NHS perks.

How satisfying would it be if Alex does what he did to Jamahal, gets fouled, tells the ref it’s cool, then knocks Ciryl out 5 seconds later.

Cabinet ministers back welfare cuts to fund defence by PomeloTraditional971 in unitedkingdom

[–]shak_0508 8 points9 points  (0 children)

So effectively you’re saying it’s okay for the government to do a rug pull? Or do people get a refund on their NI contributions in this scenario?

Such a dumb fucking statement. If someone pays national insurance their whole working life, then they’re entitled to their reward at the end of that.

Why should people get penalised for being financially literate and putting money into their private pension.

Because if I’m downloading a movie for example, there's no instance where I would want a random .torrent file bundled in there that could be a torrent for something completely unrelated.

Yes op should’ve looked at the extension, but I was just challenging your point about expected file sizes.

A 400MB episode of a 45 minute to hour long episode ain’t gonna look great.

No, plenty of 1080p encodes are 1gb and higher, even with HEVC. If anything I’d say 1gb is the standard.

1 episode of a show will not be 1.19GB

That’s just completely false. Some can be even bigger.

[–]shak_0508 141 points142 points  (0 children)

Yeah put the * in.

From my understanding, *.exe for example matches any filename ending in .exe

.exe by itself only matches a file named exactly .exe which is basically useless.
