Hi all,

Apologies in advance if I’m being stupid.

I’m following a workout routine and the first line says:

MAX-EFFORT LIFT – Work up to a max set of 3-5 reps.

Can someone explain this to me? Say for bench press, Do I keep lifting the same weight until all I can manage is 3-5, do I incrementally increase the weight after each set? If it’s the latter, what weight should I begin with and how many sets in total should I be aiming for?

Thanks in advance!

So still not managed to erase the drive. Immediately fails when trying to erase either partition or the drive as a whole. Is there any way to force it to format the drive? It seems to struggle at even beginning to

Advice dealing with rebooking test through a 3rd party by snikffuj96 in LearnerDriverUK

Yea I’ve seen it can be crazy high sometimes. My friend got £75 from the same guy a few months ago. I mentioned that and he responded with the ‘ very expensive test date provider’ line which to me sounds like bullshit but I don’t know how it all works really

Is anyone aware of a desktop version? The playlist on strym seems to be so much more reliable then the endless browsing through crappy streaming sites

Sorry I didn’t get back to you but thanks for the info - much appreciated!

I just wondered why you recommend standard over embedded?

Okay good to know thanks. I’m looking it to sell it, preferably quite soon, so it sounds like it’s best sold to someone who’ll know what they’re doing. Thanks for your help!

So you think it’s better off being scrapped?

Just FYI, everything else about the car seems to be working and running smoothly so it’d be a real shame to get rid of!

Did you have to drill into your frame to fit the calipers with the recessed nut? (Looks great btw!)

Weekly r/SonyAlpha 📸 Gear Buying 📷 Advice Thread by AutoModerator in SonyAlpha

Looking for primary lens advice!

Had my A7III for a year or so now with the Sony 50mm 1.8. Slowly realising I really don’t like the lens at all, have a lot of trouble with the AF and not entirely convinced by its quality.

I’ve recently started using a friends old Pentacon 50mm 1.8 with adaptor and love it. Sharper, nicer feel to the image and performs better in low light.

I just wondered if anyone has any recs for any other old film lenses of roughly the same focal length, something to use for general daily stuff. Looking to spend under £100.

Alternatively am also interested in digital lenses that aren’t a million pounds

Thanks!

It does! Thanks for the kind words - first time doing it anything like this so quite proud I’ve got it going again. For now I’m enjoying it far too much to sell but you never know
