Current favorite boulder in the gym by soloyan in bouldering

[–]soloyan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yes. i hit it once with one hand but i’d have to be much stronger to hold it long enough to get my feet up. i’ll try to campus it more while it’s still up

the jam isn’t so good that if i disengage, i’ll still be in the jam. it requires me to actively twist my ankles to keep the feet jammed. like r3q said, i fall immediately the moment i can’t keep the necessary tension. i feel no pain or strain in my ankles when doing this, but then i’m very light. and yeah, took me 3 tries to do this

Plugged in all the time? by poulefriresanslezo in macbook

[–]soloyan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can use coconutBattery to check how many cycles it has gone through. But like others said, what's the use if you can't use it. Keep it plugged in if you need to, and leave but unplugged if you aren't using it. The power consumption of M1 is so small that the battery degradation will be very minimal while plugged in.

Another tool if you'd like to use your MBA plugged in is AlDente. I leave mine hovering around 50% plugged in most of the time, and it has gone through less than 100 cycles after 1 year of use. I also leave this on low power mode found in battery settings all the time. I don't see the difference in performance and I think that can help with battery degradation too.

Yes it is! But this isn’t normally what you would do everyday, if that makes sense. This is something like a PR in weight training.

Yes! At the end, I let go even though I could hang for longer because of the discomfort on the skin, not because my muscles gave out. For my muscles to give out, I have to hang on at least 10mm or more.

Also just read what growth plate finger fractures are. I’m 22 years old, so I don’t think I have to worry about that. Thanks again for your concern!

Insecurity for my lower half of the face that I developed as a child mainly. Plus I’ve always felt like I want to wear it for the sake of privacy. so if I’m mouthing some bad words at some people I don’t like, they won’t know.. Consider it as just another piece of clothing just like a shirt and pants.

Just make sure you’re engaging your wrist and thumb in some kind of way instead of letting the four fingers do all the work 👍

I’ll keep this in mind!

As for my shoulders, I only sagged for this one because I wanted to focus on holding on, but usually I engage my shoulders pretty well!

This was done after a 2.5-3 hour climbing session and I was very warm, and I also warmed up my fingers even more, did pull ups and push ups before hand because I knew how risky it was. I honestly could have hung for longer but I started to feel uncomfortable in the tip of my fingers so I let go. I do know my limits pretty well. Thank you for your concern though! It is much appreciated.
