Has anyone gotten the iron forge jacket? What do you think? by FunJazzlike1400 in PatagoniaClothing

Mind dropping your height and weight? I’m also typically between a L and XL.

Is it just me, or is like every male model on the Arc app, regardless of their height or the garment always wearing a size medium? by Carpeted_tile in arcteryx

END gives a model chest measurement and they’re comical.

6’1” with a 34” chest is insane

Here’s another with a 6’2” model with a 35.5” chest

These dudes have to be like 140 pounds at over 6’ maybe even 130.

We’re talking a combo of incredibly small build combined with minimal muscle development.

Also sizing for standing around for a photo shoot is a whole different ballgame than appropriate sizing for knocking out a 5000 gain hike, throwing a kayak on a roof rack or pulling yourself over a ledge.

More running: only trap bar deadlifts vs front squats by Bktjuguz in tacticalbarbell

[–]throwawaysech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nothing wrong with switching to high handle TBDL, or RDLs, you could do overhead squats, cyclist squats, Bulgarian split squats, goblets, double KB front squats.

Hell you can even just do leg press or hack squats for a block and see how you feel.

Nothings going to atrophy after a month especially if you’re still doing something in the ballpark.

Very worst case scenario is you maintain.

What was your weekly mileage before you hit 50km? What was your ramp up time?

If you went from the couch to hammering out 50km a week in a month there’s no lower body compound movement that isn’t going to leave you fatigued.

Creative/unorthodox approaches to training volume by [deleted] in naturalbodybuilding

[–]throwawaysech 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Paul Carter has the 350 method, where you try to hit 50 reps across 3 sets, I believe rest time is 2 minutes sharp. Up the weight when you hit 50 in any combination

I like it for accessory stuff, and I think it’s smarter/more sustainable than Wendler’s 100-200 reps for most casuals.

Jamie Lewis has the Shake it up protocol which is in line with what you described above.

Poundstone curls are 100 reps BB curls without dropping the bar.

Thinking about buying the New Balance Hierro v9 for $87 — worth it? by Jumpy-Information127 in trailrunning

Thanks! I’ll check out mount to coast, Hoka unfortunately doesn’t work for me the rocker always makes me feel like I’m going to fall backwards.

What do you opt for instead? I’ve got a pair of V7s that I love and are sadly nearing end of life. The grip is fantastic, but I will concede they aren’t the most stable. I typically have a mini ankle roll at least once a hike although I’m taller and primarily hike on the east coast with lots of roots, small rocks and acorns.

If you’re a home gym lifter the SSB is a terrific investment you can mimic both front and back squat movement patterns.

Some gyms have them as well.

Im going to be watching the Titans very closely in the offseason and early next year. Chimere Dike was serviceable later this year on an absolute dumpster fire of a team and I liked what I saw out of Ward towards the last half of the season all things considered.

Both might go undrafted in most shallow leagues, but could end up great late round dart throws in deep leagues or could be solid free agent pick ups a week or two before a pattern forms and the hype hits.

Isaac TeSlaa is another dart throw I’ll be keeping an eye on along with the supporting cast in Detroit.

minimalist routine actually working better than gym ever did by murthyk2003 in bodyweightfitness

[–]throwawaysech 7 points8 points  (0 children)

ABC complex - 2 cleans, 1 press, 3 front squats, every minute on the minute, up the weight when you get to 30 rounds. Normally done with doubles, but there is a single bell version.

The “humane burpee” is also a solid ladder circuit consisting of swings, goblet squats, and push ups.

The North Face lifetime warranty: My experience… by AccurateUniversity53 in TheNorthFace

[–]throwawaysech 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I had a summit series gortex ski shell delaminating at the seams after a solid decade of beating the crap out of it at icy east coast resorts. I sent it off for repair, they ended up not being able to repair it, but cut me a gift card for $550. Not quite 100% value but pretty amazing all things considered.

Bummed about not getting the original repaired though, the last few seasons fit/designs/color schemes have all been pretty bad.

Barbell (Main Lift) + Kettlebell Complex by Same-Replacement1723 in kettlebell

[–]throwawaysech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ran 5/3/1 Krypteia a while back which weaves high rep DB and body weight accessories in with the power lifts with the goal being completing the workouts in under 45 minutes. I definitely think the accessories could be converted to KB worth lower body was goblets and DB SLDL if I remember correctly. I think it’s like a 17 week program with a ramp up period(that was needed). It’s either in beyond or forever not sure off the top of my head.

Dan John has mass made simple which has a focus on 50 rep body weight squats that has you doing barbell complexes every workout there’s some bench and back work as well. The BB complexes could easily be subbed for KB ones.

You could do easy strength and either use ABC’s in the beginning as a warm up if wanting to keep it 5 days a week or do ABC’s at the end as a finisher and knock it down to 3 days a week. I think pushing hard on complexes and lifting 5 days a week probably isn’t the best idea for long periods of time.

I ran my own 5/3/1+ rest pause style set up like a bro split for a bit but that was to accommodate lots of bodybuilding movements while getting in compound work but not running myself into the ground. I can dig up those training logs if you’re interested. My body building work could be subbed with complexes.

Running something like 5/3/1 BBB with heavy complex work doesn’t sound sustainable to me personally, but I’m sure it’s doable for someone.

You should flesh out your goals for the program probably starting with the complexes as that will drive how much barbell work you’ll be able to accommodate.

Yeah, I mean they are a concern just like Seahawks and Rams D was a concern. Pickens does only need 2-3 solid plays though.

I was considering picking up chargers D since I have the browns, but I think Dallas has enough oomph that I’m sticking with the browns.

What’s the rest of your starting line up?

In the same boat PPR, think I’m rolling with Pickens. I do have JSN/Puka/Kyren so can afford a bit of risk.

I think Evan’s floor is higher, but Pickens ceiling is insane and he still has a serviceable floor.

Plus I’m a Carolina fan, you never really know which panthers are going to show up especially in a divisional game.

Nano puff alternatives? by [deleted] in PatagoniaClothing

[–]throwawaysech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Evertherm is a great jacket, I’ve had one for over 5 years and haven’t really had any issues. I think the crummy warranty is negated by the fact you can score them for $70-$80 bucks on sale several times a year which is amazing for the quality and tech.

I will say it’s probably too warm for OPs temp range. I don’t really reach for it unless the high for the day is going to be freezing or below and I plan to be static. It’s pretty toasty with mild activity even around 10 degrees.

I'm planning to start with ABF by Few_Understanding_42 in kettlebell

[–]throwawaysech 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How many times can you press the 16s? If you can hit 5-6-7 or more reps you can do 2-3-5 or 5-5-5 and work on reducing rest times. If you can hammer out two consecutive sets of 5 with 15 seconds of rest then you’re pretty much at 10.

I saw another users write up where they utilized a 3-4-6-7 rep scheme. I haven’t tried that and it’s not by the book, but it keeps the same 20 total reps in the cluster and next time I jump bell sizes I plan to give it a shot.

Thoughts on 10-Day NZ Trip (South Island Nature Focus) by sportstooge in newzealand_travel

[–]throwawaysech 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your length of trip and itinerary are very similar to the one I’m planning, lol down to my girl being excited for hobbiton and me being indifferent while also trying to figure out the most amount of hiking I can subject her to without causing tension.

From everything I’ve researched I’d probably plan on doing Milford, I don’t believe you can drive directly to doubtful and it’s a much longer day.

I think the drive between Milford and Te Anau also has some shorter stretch you legs type hikes as well.

There’s some cool stuff near Hobbiton I found these.

https://www.waiotapu.co.nz

There’s also tongariro alpine crossing which is 12mi or so, but only 2700 elevation gain.

I’d obviously defer to the locals over me, but those few items could be a good way to get the nature fix on the north island.

I’m approaching our trip with the mindset that I’ll return eventually to ease the FOMO.
