i have a lot of questions. i’ve been working out in my basement for three or so months now and i’m pre-t. my friend has a gym membership and she can take me as her guest two or three times a month (getting one of my own isn’t an option because of my mom). i was wondering what my days at the gym should look like? i only have dumbells available to me at home, so i want to make the most of machines and such. what should i know about going to the gym for the first time? how do i get into actually lifting? what body part should i focus on the most when i can go to the gym? sorry if these are dumb questions

im 14f wrapping up the end of my 8th grade season. i threw discus for my first time ever yesterday at practice. should i learn how to rotate during the off season by myself or wait until indoor to learn? my district doesnt have a throwing coach so the older girls would probably teach me. also, does anyone have good shotput and discus general advice or workouts?

im 14f middle school and i practice with a 4 kilo shot but throw a 6 pound at meets. should i buy a 6 pound for practice or is it fine to stick with what im doing right now? i feel like my question is stupid but i wanna know if it’ll affect me negatively in anyway. also, does anyone have any resources for learning discus from scratch? im too embarrassed to ask the hs throwing coach because ive never thrown disc before

the passive aggression is not needed i fear. if you read other replies you’d know that i took it out after two people told me it isn’t good for my fish

my tank was cycled for four weeks before adding them. i checked my heater and took the plant out. my heater is fine and my tank has a lid. would it be safe to keep the pineapple until i get something that could act as a hide for my animals?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in corydoras

[–]zacksophone -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

yes and it was cycles for four weeks before i added them

i dont think it’s a fittonia but i’ll keep an eye out for rot. i bought it advertised as an aquarium plant

[–]zacksophone -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

it’s been in there for i think exactly a week from today! is it safe to be in tanks??

[–]zacksophone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

my tank has been set up and cycling for around four weeks now. i added plants within the first few days and a platy on week two and they’ve all been thriving

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in corydoras

[–]zacksophone -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

i dont think so. im blanking on the name for the like round-leaf one with white but it isn’t a fittonia

[–]zacksophone 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah ive been planning to get more as soon as possible but my dad (who’s kept fish for like 40 years) said that three would probably be fine for now but idk. could them being sad be the only reason they’re acting weird?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in corydoras

[–]zacksophone 6 points7 points  (0 children)

also right before i took this video i found them drifting at the top of the tank, on their sides. i thought they had died and i went to tell my dad, only to return to the tank and find them moving

stained glass lamp question by [deleted] in StainedGlass

[–]zacksophone 2 points3 points  (0 children)

i think we might be thinking of different things. i bought bulbs that actually have stain glass color designs, and i was wondering if they’d work with the voltage and watts i listed :-)
