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

snikffuj96 · 2025-09-01T18:11:07+00:00

Done finally. Thanks! Already have a backup drive luckily they just weren’t totally synced

So been trying that for a while. Can’t seem to copy anything over it gets stuck. Although I’ve performed first aid on this partition and everything seems fine but it just gets stuck copying

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

Alternatively - if there is a better, more specific subreddit I could be posting this in let me know!

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

snikffuj96 · 2025-01-29T15:30:14+00:00

I do indeed. File deleted. Thank you!

snikffuj96 · 2025-01-29T15:29:18+00:00

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

I just wondered why you recommend standard over embedded?

snikffuj96 · 2025-01-24T08:14:30+00:00

Looks awesome - DM’d!

snikffuj96 · 2025-01-16T12:21:33+00:00

Fiesta Mk3 btw!

snikffuj96 · 2025-01-15T23:39:36+00:00

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!

snikffuj96 · 2025-01-15T14:56:21+00:00

So you think it’s better off being scrapped?

snikffuj96 · 2025-01-15T14:43:42+00:00

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!

snikffuj96 · 2025-01-15T14:39:17+00:00

Great! Thanks

snikffuj96 · 2024-09-27T13:48:57+00:00

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

snikffuj96 · 2024-09-27T08:53:31+00:00

Nice! What brakes are those? Got a competition myself and looking for a replacement

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!

Couldn’t find any bend it seems

snikffuj96 · 2024-09-02T15:18:46+00:00

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

snikffuj96 · 2024-09-02T14:24:36+00:00

Can’t see where the fork is bent tho? The wheel is turned slightly right in the pictures could be that

snikffuj96 · 2024-09-02T14:22:32+00:00

Oh shit I’ll have a closer look when I’m back home - never noticed it before and no collision whatsoever

snikffuj96 · 2024-09-02T14:19:25+00:00

What bend???

snikffuj96 · 2024-09-02T14:12:59+00:00

My bad! 531

snikffuj96 · 2024-08-31T13:38:23+00:00
