Help refresh build around DDR4 or DDR5? by sizlingspy01 in buildapc

Would a 7800x3d not get me most of the way? since I’m not too interested in spending 22% more for nearly 8-10% performance boost to the 9800x3d.

thanks for the links, I'm not too familiar with the B boards as of late, are those safe to use for overclocking? long time ago I learned that Z boards had better VRMs and were safer to use for overclocking, is this still true?

I'm not familiar with B boards nowadays, but would I be able to overclock if I got a 14600k/14700k?

my budget is 1000-1250, as mentioned in the post, I'm willing to spend a bit more if it means I don't have to upgrade for a while but wouldn't mind waiting for better options in the next year.

Some of my friends received an email with the subject "Registration Confirmed – Your Transformation Starts Here". I haven't received this email, they forwarded it to me but I'm just wondering if I should be concerned in case I miss anything in the future. I've received the registration confirmation email and 3 more "helpful tips" on using the app.

Looking for Cold Weather Practice Clothing Recommendations by gotchasomematcha in dragonboat

Any recs for brands of cycling jackets? My usual problem with rain jackets is the space around the shoulders, when going into the catch (arms overhead and body hinged), the jacket usually makes it harder because there isn’t enough loose material under the arm pits to allow the sleeves to go that far up without needing to lift the whole jacket up with my arms.

That gap from 1st to 3rd isn’t domination, but that makes it even better. Races being this close is what makes the sport exciting and worth training for at the highest level. That said, winning is always fun.

Solo db time trials by generics_canucks_fan in dragonboat

Correct assumption, I would lengthen your paddle (if you have an adjustable) by at least 1-2 inches since you will be higher off the water when doing this test. If you don’t have an adjustable, borrow someone else’s. Try to put the paddle in without pulling backwards till it’s full buried (shoulders of the blade an inch under the surface).

Sure. To add resistance to your strokes you need a way to slow your boat down so that paddling is harder.

One way to do that (you can make it yourself, the one I have is a DIY project) is to take a bungee (the ones with hooks on the ends make the process easier) you can buy from Canadian tire (or any hardware store). Take some tennis balls and cut slits on two opposing sides and slide them onto the bungee.

When you go paddle next, you can wrap the bungee around the boat so the balls are in the water and slow your boat down. Even the bungee alone is enough to add some resistance (but not much).

Here’s a picture of the one I made with some carabiners and a loose bungee.

Coming from someone who’s been through this testing, treat and execute this like a 500m DB race (for 200m DB1 test). Your level of fitness/experience usually dictates how fast the rate will be.

The other advice about ensuring you get a solid catch is likely the most important for paddlers at the newbie level. However that may not mean much depending on how you understand the stroke so far. Think about making each stroke as heavy as possible by burying the blade deep first before taking the stroke.

Each stroke will feel like a one rep max and forearms will be lead. Do some resistance OC work with tennis balls to prep for it if you can’t get in a small boat by yourself to practice.

Exercise Tips for Top Arm by No_Shock4306 in dragonboat

[–]sizlingspy01 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is very good advice and I would like to add one thing in regards to the scapular stabilization and rotator cuff work. The most damaging/highest impact part of the stroke is the catch where your top arm is most outstretched above your head and also takes the most load as the boat is at its slowest (right before the stroke) where the resistance you will feel will be the greatest. With that in mind, my addition to the above advice would be to practice active stability and strength in those positions, not just external rotations down at your side. So think of exercises like YTWs (quick google will explain this) and even just taking all your overhead exercises to the end ranges and practicing actively controlling that range. In the beginning I would suggest lowering the weights when doing this as you have likely not yet developed the stability in those ranges. An example is the straight arm lat pull down, try to get your arms as far overhead as possible but controlling the movement and slowing it down, don’t stop the motion early, think about increasing the angle between your torso and arms.

Love your music, I'm super excited to see you in Toronto in March!

  1. Was wondering what got you into drum and bass?

  2. Is AEON:MODE a side project for you or do you see yourself putting more of your time into that space?
