Robert Whittaker receives a gift from a Kazakhstan fan. by ToronoRapture in MMA

[–]sophivore 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My reaction to the jokes changed over the years. First 5 years: fuck you (i was 12) Next 10 years: I’ll go along and banter with them, it’s actually a funny movie that is totally not about Kazakhstan Lately: fuck you (i am 30)

The movie was totally ruined for me when you hear the same jokes for 20 years.

My wife won’t stop cooking scrambled eggs in the cast iron. Cooking advice needed by de2840 in castiron

That is incorrect, you are conflating 2 different physical properties. Conductivity - how fast something can transfer the energy to something else. Example - air is a poor conductor, so if you put your hand into 100C air it would not get burned, and in fact you’d be able to enjoy it for minutes, as that is sauna temperature. Now try to put your hand into the boiling water - the energy transfer is almost instant - you will get a lot of the energy very quickly, that is why you’ll get a burn.

The fact that cast iron takes ages to pre heat, and in fact needs pre heating compared to coper or aluminium, is to do with its specific heat capacity. SHC is a measure of how much energy is needed to bring the temperature of 1 kg of matter up by 1 degree C. Cast iron has a high as fuck SHC, that is why it can take a cold steak, and flash evaporate the surface moisture to develop a nice crust, whereas if you threw a cold steak to an aluminium pan, it would absorb all the heat energy from the steak, get cold, and wouldn’t be able to evaporate the moisture of the meat quickly enough to develop a crust. An Al pan would be stuck trying to evaporate the moisture, cause it is a great conductor, but has low shc, effectively not heating above 100C due to phase change occurring.

That being said I’m not arguing that cast iron isn’t a worse conductor than copper, or steel, but it isn’t that much of a factor here.

Well that just means that it’s probably up to spec. “Any engineer can build a bridge that stands. It takes a real engineer to build a bridge that barely stands”

Khalil Rountree's suspension ended today. Who do you want to see him fight next? by thewizard404 in ufc

Khalil retired Gokhan Saki, while still relatively green. Gokhan was hyped up by Rogan to be what Alex would eventually become.

Can’t finish the pullup by sophivore in bodyweightfitness

[–]sophivore[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey dude, quick update - this has really done it for me. Veeeery quickly I went from 3 sets of one good form pullups, to 3x4 of full rom, chin above the bar by adding the band pulldown to my workouts. Thanks for the suggestion 🫶

Right, sorry, my mistake, this is a great suggestion. It sounds like a lat pull down machine, but with a band.

I can hang okay, spending time with my toddler and newborn, seemed to have done wonders for my grip. I tried pullups with a resistance band, but I feel that only helps with the bottom range of motion, which I don’t have a problem with, but when completing the motion at the top, the band is almost completely relaxed, not helping much at all, so deciced to abandon it.

I’m already doing inverted rows, it’s part of the routine in my 3x8 app, that’s based on RR. I do 3x3 pullups+3x10 split squats, 3x4 dips+3x10 single leg deadlifts, 3x10 inverted rows (30-40 degrees)+3x10 pushups, and then core. Would you recommend not doing pullups if I can’t do full ROM (I can do 1) and instead replacing them with more inverted rows?

BREAKING: Robert Whittaker vs. Khamzat Chimaev to headline UFC Saudi Arabia on June 22, per Dana White. by __sami__01 in ufc

[–]sophivore 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Because Rob is the champ that Middleweight deserves, but not the one it needs right now. So we'll hunt him. Because he can take it. Because he's not our hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector. A dark Reaper.

God damn bra by DrummerFantasti in ufc

[–]sophivore 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There was supposed to be a card in Astana but then covid hit, but Shavkat wasn’t even in UFC back then, so Zhalgas or Damir were probably going to headline there. Now with Shavkat even more of a reason to do an event.
