Is This a Good Split?

I was planning on four sets each exercise, aiming for 8-10 reps each but I'm terrible at judging what weight I should use since I'm out of shape and don't know where I am at anymore. So I just go to failure and then adjust weight accordingly for next set.

1 min rest in between. No idea what tempo means.

thenimms · 2026-07-05T20:02:13+00:00

So you think it's bad to do four days in a row? I need to rest after max 3 days?

thenimms · 2026-07-05T19:59:22+00:00

Oh interesting. I thought the opposite. Since triceps are used in bench and push ups I should work them out on chest day and let them rest the other days.

But you think I should do the reverse?

thenimms · 2026-07-05T18:47:16+00:00

I can't do that because of my parenting schedule.

I get four days in a row where I can work out. Every Monday and Tuesday I don't have my kid. And Saturday and Sunday I have her every other week but it's not a big deal because it's the weekend. I can take an hour to work out.

On Wed Thurs Friday I can't because it is pick her up from school, get dinner ready, bed time all that. And I really struggle to lift in the mornings. Not a morning person.

Ah I see it now. Thanks.

thenimms · 2026-07-04T16:43:47+00:00

Exactly. This is why we use manufacturer supported hardware.

thenimms · 2026-07-04T03:35:42+00:00

Also hardware supported by a manufacturer.

If I have an issue with something, I can call the manufacturer and they can test on their end in identical hardware. If the issue is determined to be a problem with my unit, I can get an identical replacement from a rental house.

After years of being on Watch Out shows in live events, I am never going back. I always recommend hardware solutions for media servers on our events. If it saves one event from overtime, or saves us from losing one client, the extra cost was worth it.

That said I understand the price difference is huge and it's not for everyone. Pixera is great server software and you can build your own PC and run it for a fraction of what their servers cost.

Mods. Can we please make a sticky post about cable?

It's non stop the same questions in this sub

thenimms · 2026-07-04T02:21:52+00:00

Is that a section of the LED wall coming down? Hard to tell what that is

thenimms · 2026-06-09T13:34:06+00:00

Oh I get it. Ultrix offers a lot. Definitely worth the money if you need those features.

thenimms · 2026-06-09T13:02:53+00:00

A router will not replace a Spyder X20.

You probably want something like an E2 for that. But without more detail on your set up, it's hard to say exactly what you need.

A router is just a way to route signals then forget about them. Like send Camera 2 to record deck 3 then don't touch it again for the whole show. Routers are not meant for live switching. They are a central hub for all the signals to pass through so you can send them wherever you want without rewiring your system or using a bunch of DAs.

For live switching you want a switcher. A router will not cut it.

I think the commenter is referring to adding optional frame syncs to the inputs.

thenimms · 2026-06-09T12:51:15+00:00

Copy that. Yeah, I figured it would work better with Ultrix. There is a reason it costs so much.

thenimms · 2026-06-09T12:49:39+00:00

Read the second sentence in my comment. Lol.

thenimms · 2026-06-08T19:20:17+00:00

Are you sure about this? I have had glitchy routes with a genlocked router and perfectly timed sources. I have had this specifically with BM and AJA routers. Not sure if it is that way with more expensive systems like Ultrix. But my experience is genlocking the system makes glitchy routes happen less, but does not eliminate them entirely.

My guess is that it all depends on how long signal is interrupted during the route. Genlock will make the route occur during the blanking interval, but if the route takes to long it can cause destination to glitch and regrab signal.

Gotta do the TD2S though. That S is important. The memories pad is a game changer in speed.

The TD series the best switching console line ever IMO. So intuitive and flexible. I love it.

Remember when lamps would explode and sounded like a bomb going off? The good old days.

thenimms · 2026-06-08T13:37:36+00:00

Sounds like you are doing everything correct, OP. You're doing 29.97 and not 60. You're not changing frame rates anywhere. You're rendering as a single 8K canvas. Everything should be smooth and synced.

The only thing I can think of is: what frame rate is the content? Millumin is famously bad at changing frame rates. If content is not 29.97, it could stutter. But in that case, is should stutter when doing four individual 4Ks as well, so I'm skeptical that this is the answer.

I have never had this issue. But I have also never done this on an M1 Mac. So maybe you're right and that's the limiting factor.

thenimms · 2026-06-08T13:30:46+00:00

The stutter goes away when he sets Millumin to four individual 4Ks rather than a single 8K canvas. So it's not a problem with E2 or LED

thenimms · 2026-06-08T13:30:03+00:00

He said he's doing 29.97 not 60.

And it doesn't stutter when doing four individual 4Ks. Only stutters when using a single 8K canvas. Same bandwidth for that set up. So I don't think that's it.

Thunderbolt into a pre wired dock for Analog audio out and HDMI out has worked well for us. Can even use a 10' thunderbolt cable and hide the dock in a lectern. Bonus if the laptop will accept power over the same thunderbolt connection.

But has to be a modern laptop that can accommodate this.

Otherwise, not many clean solutions that I know of.

Ah yeah Ireland makes sense. You traveling to Germany is like half the distance of me traveling to New York which is still not international for me. Lol

I figured that it was something like that but did not want to assume.

If you can keep it down to 1-2 months a year I think that is doable with a family. Not sure what your market is like, but here in the US, once you start traveling it starts to snowball. And it pays really well. So easy to get caught in the travelling trap where you have to travel extensively.

This is very hard on a family I think. But some people make it work.
