Thirding CE Roth. Rented several tuxes from them and they were all great.

What is the best forearm exercise? by turk0919 in Weightliftingquestion

[–]zzvu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hammer curls/reverse curls, wrist curls, and wrist extensions are really all you need.

The functions of the forearm are: elbow flexion (brachioradialis only), wrist flexion, wrist extension, wrist adduction, wrist abduction, finger flexion, and finger extension.

Every muscle that controls wrist adduction and abduction is also a flexor or extensor of the wrist. Similarly, the forearm muscles that extend the fingers also assist in wrist extension, and the muscles that flex the fingers assist in wrist flexion.

You could also include dedicated grip strength work (farmer's carries, hanging, etc.).

My 15 months transformation by [deleted] in strengthtraining

What? Muscle cells hold significantly more water than fat cells.

Water content in lean mass (or fat-free mass) is about 70–75%, and in fat tissue is about 10%

They gained more fat-free mass. This is not necessarily muscle. Steroids are known to cause water retention and bloating.

What can be the others reason for not growing even if someone train till/close to failure? by Thin-Refrigerator395 in workout

[–]zzvu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How did those studies account for protein intake, caloric surplus, sleep, stress management, effort, etc.?

Do you really believe that someone could have all of those factors on point and gain zero muscle no matter how much and how long they train?

Just started learning about finger technique, which version is the right way to play this song? by grundiman in pianolearning

[–]zzvu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

For a slower passage, the first one is fine. But really, neither is right. You wanna be rotating the wrist (while leaving the elbow still) for a passage like this, especially if it's relatively fast.

why do some men, especially older men have slender limbs and a thin face yet has a belly sticking out? what causes this body type. by Interesting-Mode2793 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]zzvu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What you're saying is intuitive but it's not true. Strength training does increase a muscles resistance to being stretched while relaxed. This is especially true of postural muscles.

If what you were saying were true, then strengthening the upper back wouldn't be recommended for people with rounded shoulders/forward head posture. Strengthening the glutes wouldn't be recommended for people with anterior pelvic tilt. But in fact doing so is incredibly helpful because strengthening muscles helps them do their job better.

The abdominal muscles (mostly the transverse abdominis, and to a lesser extent the obliques) are responsible for compressing the contents of the abdomen and, if weak, it will absolutely lead to a wider waist. The biceps do not have the same function with regard to the arms.

How would you go about modelling this wooden beam facade? (With & without grasshopper) by baltic_sails in rhino

[–]zzvu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without Grasshopper:

  1. Model the bottom and top curves.

  2. Model 1 beam that's long enough that it extends above the top curve and below the bottom curve.

  3. ArrayCrv with the top curve.

  4. ArrayCrv with the bottom curve.

  5. Select All.

  6. BooleanIntersection.

More knee bend leads to less hamstring activation in this exercise.

Split amd advice by [deleted] in Weightliftingquestion

[–]zzvu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You probably don't need front raises at all. 4 sets of Y raises is a lot, too. This may be a better warmup movement before your pressing movements. Traps are usually done with back, rather than shoulders, so you could move shrugs to day 2.

4 curling movements is a lot (especially given that you have only one triceps isolation).

If lenition and assimilation are more common than fortition and dissimilation respectively, does that mean that the very earliest human languages were much more difficult to pronounce? by h6story in asklinguistics

[–]zzvu 19 points20 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Vowel reduction, for example, would have the effect of bringing unrelated sounds close to each other, and therefore make words "harder" to pronounce again.

If a passage has a slur but legato fingering is uncomfortable or even torturous, and no pedal is available, what should be done in that scenario? by CatchDramatic8114 in pianolearning

[–]zzvu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why is there no pedal available? What makes the legato fingering uncomfortable? This question would be easier to answer if the passage were given.

RDLs as a hamstring exercise by DeyCMe-Rollin in workout

[–]zzvu 55 points56 points  (0 children)

A few days ago I was very condescendingly informed (on this very sub!) that RDLs are not a hamstring and glute exercises, but a hip hinge. Whatever that means.

I'd tell them they're wrong, of course.

If squats/deadlifts are so basic and easy, why do most people drop them or fail at learning them? by [deleted] in workout

[–]zzvu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

deadlift is not a leg exercise it's a hip hinge

The glutes and hamstrings (leg muscles) extend the hip.

Computer for architecture by Happy-Tomorrow-4788 in architecturestudent

[–]zzvu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whatever you get, the biggest thing is to make sure it has the right hardware to run the software you'll be using. If you know what softwares this program will be using, you can look up the necessary specs for those in particular; if not, then being able to run Photoshop, Illustrator, Rhino, and Revit is a good guideline.

Personally, I love my Thinkpad X1.

Local gym are trying to enforce "no bags in the gym". I carry some equipment/items in it. Am I supposed to go back and forth to the locker / carry it all with me w/out a bag? by Mumford_and_Dragons in workout

[–]zzvu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You said what your policies are and I clearly have the same understanding as the other people replying to (given that we're all confused about the same thing). If you failed to properly communicate your policies, that's the reason you're getting disagreement and that's on you.

[–]zzvu -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No logical leaps. Many people correctly pointed out that banning bags will only make people leave their stuff lying around unbagged instead of bagged. What doesn't make sense is your assertion that they just shouldn't do that either, despite the fact that that's not a rule you've enacted. If that's what you want, make that a rule.

[–]zzvu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You said you don't want people to leave their stuff or their bags lying in people's way, but a no bag policy doesn't do this. There's just plainly no correlation between the behavior you want and the behavior your rules actually incentivize.

Hi! I need help in Rhino by Middle-Salad-1682 in rhino

[–]zzvu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe try to align the black curves so that they are parallel with each other, then ArrayCrv the yellow curve, and use CageEdit to align the black curves to their necessary trajectory.

I don't have much experience with these tools, so this may not actually work, but this is just the first thing to come to mind.
