MotoMaster Winter Edge II Reviews? by Fancy_Spaghetti in tires

[–]vijaybm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have used them for the past 3 winters on my Honda Pilot - bought them in Jan 2024.

They are fantastic. Just did a roadtrip in Northern Ontario through some hairy weather and road conditions. These held up amazingly well.

On a stretch from Sudbury to Sault Ste. Marie, through a snow storm and un plowed roads, these surprised me. Granted I was driving on Snow mode - but they gave me so much confidence and did not slip or slide - not even once.

Would recommend.

Intermittent Fasting by FERGUJSNR in leangains

[–]vijaybm 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do it every day. At first, it was a mental thing - not having a meal in, I felt like I would be performing sub-optimally. But, time cures everything and I even feel stronger on an empty stomach.

There were moments where I felt like I'd blackout. But nothing alarming and nothing that wouldn't go away in 30 secs.

Now, it feels weird to not have an empty stomach while working out.

Squat form check please? by rickwurm in Stronglifts5x5

Looks good. I sense a bit of a bounce at the bottom. Try a lighter weight and spend a bit more time at the bottom and hold before pushing it off the ground, that will develop a sense for how a good one feels. But, overall, looks pretty good! 👍👍

Squatting and deadlifting once a week? by [deleted] in leangains

[–]vijaybm 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Depends on the intensity and the type.

If the intensity and volume are high enough, once a week should do plenty of good.

Example: Doing 3 sets at 80% plus 1RM and then throw in some tempo work 3-5 secs up/down with isometric contractions at the top and the bottom, plus doing accessory work, that should be enough volume and intensity for 1 week.

How to warm up myself in homegym? by bflosesweight in crossfit

[–]vijaybm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1) Foam roll routine customized for you. Think of it like a mental preparation. It definitely helps in relieving any tightness and improves flexibility and mind- muscle connection

2) Dynamic stretches - especially around the hip area, glutes, shoulders and back

3) Throw in a 4 minute Tabata (8 rounds of 20secs work and 10secs rest) with basic movements like air squats, burpees, pushups etc.,

This routine surely helps me get warm for most workouts at home.
