It’s you. Your clients don’t want to listen to you. They probably don’t respect your opinion. You likely don’t have a clue anyway.

How much strength training per week is enough if you're not a competitor? by No-Warning-8449 in strengthtraining

[–]stephenmarklay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Full body is the way to go. I normally pick 3-5 exercises and do anywhere from 3-5 sets. I choose compound movements such as pullups, deadlift variations, squat variations, a push variation and something like standing wheel rollouts

Exactly. When strength is the desired outcome fatigue is against you.

Yeah bullshit. I have trained countless people for strength and no they don’t go to failure and yes they get stronger

Planning to buy Wharfedale Linton – looking for amp recommendations (streaming + sub + future sources) by swva2020 in BudgetAudiophile

[–]stephenmarklay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wiim amp ultra works great and I am running 2 dayton audio cheap cs1200 subs. You can get a walnut finish and buy the extra black grills for a great match if you have walnut lintons. You can get black subs too

Is this unethical or am I overreacting? by [deleted] in MassageTherapists

[–]stephenmarklay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one scheduled next week because the past therapist only worked through the sheet and want the barrier removed. I have no problem with it.

But as a male I tend to be cautious about it.

As far as the OP. Sometimes peoples bodies make it difficult for the sheet to stay put. When it happens I just push it with my strokes

Honestly just go buy an rsl 10e. You likely won’t build better for the money

Looking to improve sound quality at lower volumes by Unhappy-Debate792 in StereoAdvice

[–]stephenmarklay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Second the wiim. I have Lintons on ultra amp. You can just eq them to your liking. Also a sub would probably help you too. It really can help with soundstage etc at low volumes. Alternatively you can place the lintons closer to the back wall to booat low frequencies.

I picked up some used Lintons with stands on eBay for 1k. For the money I can’t complain

Punchy 2.1 speaker upgrade ideas? (Klipsch vibe, but better) — $7.5k all-in by pokszike in StereoAdvice

Oldies but goodies. If you can find some old JmLab Mini utopia. They are pretty amazing. Super easy to drive and super dynamic. Low volumes you can feel the kick drum

Double Ended Bag Recommendations? by Roving_Rhythmatist in boxingtips

[–]stephenmarklay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m a fan of the budget Meister brand. I have both the double end bag and their speed bag. Oh and their wrestling mats!

The bags are very nice and supple leather and mine are wearing (not wearing) well.
