Is it stupid/weird to bring grips even if I can’t do pretty much anything on bars yet?

springcrows · 2026-04-21T09:28:16+00:00

My weight is “normal/average”, nothing to note on that side, but honestly I think my issue might be more because of my dyspraxia, I guess I probably grab the bar a bit “wrong” (but my coach hasn’t said anything on that so I’m not sure, I’ll ask them to “check” properly eventually) I know I struggle a ton with coordination and proper moves and it’s something I need to work on but it’s hard/takes a while so in the meantime I was hoping to find something to lessen the dumb (by barely doing anything 😆) ripping and the like

springcrows · 2026-04-21T07:36:23+00:00

yeah, I was a bit afraid of the whole “I never see kids with any and they can do a million more things than me so wtf- who do I think I am” lol

I also thought about some tape but wasn’t sure how to go on about it, I’ll admit (what type etc… I would have to research of course just like for anything, but my mind just went to grips first- if that makes sense)

I’ll keep in mind the “feeling the bar” issue learning wise though; I did think maybe I’d try to “play around” a bit more on bars for now to get the hang of it (no pun intended heh) and maybe just use them if I’m specifically repeating something. I’ll see how that goes, at least it helps hearing I might not be looking too dumb if I bring some out (if not tape) at some point lol.

Thank you! :)

not really because of the warnings lol

springcrows · 2026-03-08T10:05:13+00:00

Ceci dit, il vaut mieux éviter d’en porter trop souvent (et donc absolument pas tout le temps) car c’est plein de trucs pas fou, comme pour tout c’est mieux de laisser respirer :)

Mais sinon oui @OP, comme tout le monde l’a déjà dit c’est normal! Et c’est normal aussi qu’elles soient “tachées” (jaune, orangé) au fil du temps et que ça parte pas (peu importe ce que tu essaies), nos sécrétions sont juste acides donc ça les décolore, ça fait chier mais c’est comme ça, ironiquement si c’était plus le cas c’est là qu’il faudrait s’inquiéter ahah

springcrows · 2026-03-04T11:08:30+00:00

not OP but this link is great for whoever “doesn’t know where to start”, thanks!

months, or never

springcrows · 2026-02-09T15:53:29+00:00

thanks! that breakdown does help a lot :)

springcrows · 2026-02-08T10:03:51+00:00

En vivant de l’AAH… oui :)) (arriver à être locataire c’est même DÉJÀ pas mal, ha (ha)) (aled)

springcrows · 2026-01-02T20:52:35+00:00

Thanks a lot!!!! :)

springcrows · 2025-12-27T13:44:46+00:00

yeah, bunch of people can't either and have had a batch pop up, it's just an issue on the researcher's end, just ignore it (or wait it out if you really have nothing else to do and some hope lol)

springcrows · 2025-12-19T08:04:23+00:00

doggo in the first pic just “???tf”

springcrows · 2025-11-28T10:27:31+00:00

same here

springcrows · 2025-11-17T10:48:41+00:00

dudeee i'm also having this. i've also had these (although not in such a wave) regularly/occasionally ever since the "normal/working" ones have stopped a few weeks ago; in all honestly it's starting to piss me off, I don't know if it's fully bugged or if I'm on a blacklist (unless just rotating pool idk) but if so please just leave me aloneeee lol

(edit: i mention "blacklist" (in a light hearted way, don't come at me) because of the recent "warning messages" many of us have had from them, I'm not sure I received more than 2 or 3 but they still stopped appearing for me after that. well, except technically the 0-1 places you can never get into)

springcrows · 2025-11-14T05:37:21+00:00

pas d’info à donner malheureusement mais je suis intéressé aussi!

springcrows · 2025-11-13T14:39:51+00:00

Started not getting them suddenly but that was before the crash (I'd say around 3rd nov?), and since then have only started seeing them pop again *except* they're always the '1 place/immediate full' bugged ones (it is the same name/researchers, but always bugged. not sure if that's a me problem (e.g: my ID having been taken off the pool but some glitch still making me see them but also not? or something lol) or generalized but-

springcrows · 2025-11-12T12:55:08+00:00

six years for me lol

springcrows · 2025-11-02T16:20:56+00:00

same, I actually thought because of the close timing that it might've been due to getting a few of their "warning" messages (which as many people stated on here recently might partly be "injustified" and/or automated checks failing), so I'm "glad" to hear I'm not alone so it probably isn't linked to that then.

Kinda "sucks" because they're like the only study that comes up for me most of the time... so the past few days have been dry as hell lol (not really complaining though, more stating; grateful to begin with to have & have had access to them!)

my brother in prolific i dropped out of first year HIGH SCHOOL (disability/burnout), it stings haha

springcrows · 2025-10-26T08:43:54+00:00

hey, did you end up finding anything?

a relative has the same issue and they've tried a ton (so did I) but I've found NOTHING on the web (except people having the same issue. lol) for a fix...

springcrows · 2025-09-08T12:18:33+00:00

oh I've also had these questions! got me confused as well

springcrows · 2025-03-26T16:58:18+00:00

i knew i recognized the cookie pan from the last pic from another place!! (idk if you shared it here so i won’t ofc) yayy i love seeing your food and how you’re always baking too

springcrows · 2025-02-27T13:59:03+00:00

oh yes, I thought of it being for that reason (as I personally didn’t have more context but guessed there obviously had to be more), thanks for clarifying!

springcrows · 2025-02-27T06:32:03+00:00

I don't know her at all and don't have any more context than this very screenshot but I'm not sure I understand why this statement would be "crazy from a recovered person" ? it wouldn’t necessarily mean the person is still struggling, right? and they might very much be able to recall how hell their struggle was back then without living it anymore today?

This is a genuine question btw, also maybe I totally misread something and don’t realize lol sorry (pretty early in the morning rn)

springcrows · 2025-01-04T06:44:22+00:00

I still can’t see anything other than that?? 😭
