  • So, as many have said, there are short term and longer term things to try. Short term:

    • Use chalk/magnesium to improve the grip
    • Use grips instead of gloves, like these ones
    • Mixed grip

    Longer term:

    • Improve grip strength

    Improving the grip will improve your game overall, so it’s highly recommended. Some exercises for that could be doing Farmers Carry, Pull-ups hold, and so on.

    Edit:

    A warning on mixed grip, is that although it helps to lift more weight, it will worsen your technique. So you have to improve that technique as well. I only use it for the heaviest loads. I don’t go to mixed grip until 85 or even 90% my 1RM. Before that, the standard one, so I can improve my grip too.


  • Reddit was a washed down 4chan. For those who came from a forum life in the 00’s and knew 4chan too, Reddit made sense.

    That kind of content will keep happening and popping, and there will be a lot of people supporting it. Because we’ll always have teenagers eager to see fringe stuff, and social misfits that want to be seen/heard.

    I think that we need to understand that Lemmy and the Fediverse can hold such things, but they aren’t at fault for that. Reddit was faulty as a corporation, but not as a platform. And because Lemmy, the Fediverse and ActivityPub are techs free to anyone, they aren’t liable for this, but the owners of the instances of these techs are.

    We have already seen how this plays out, thankfully. We’ve seen a lot of instances defederating exploding-heads.com, and this is good. The same with many people saying to defederate from Meta’s new social network.

    I think we need to understand that, profoundly, human beings are very heterogeneous. We’ll always have nice and bad people. And that communities reflect that. Having everything in one instance (Reddit) is not a very good solution. Having them in different instances and each one with their own ethos, makes more sense as a society. Especially because we behave like that. I usually don’t mingle with douchdbags.


  • If you only take calories intake as the sole driver, you’ll have a very bad diet.

    Yes, they have the same calories as potato chips, but the nutritional profile is insanely better. If you look into this comparison, While it’s true peanuts contains more fat.than potatoes, they have less than half the saturated fats than potato chips. That’s the kind of fat you have to avoid because they affect your heart and body composition negatively.

    Also, they contain a huge amount of proteins and dietary fiber. Just by taking 200gr of peanuts, you’ve met your good fats and proteins intake without reaching your calorie intake. And you are still 1/3 down in fiber. Put some celery there, and you are sweet.

    And if 100gr of peanuts is not satiating enough, maybe you should recheck your diet. I usually have 30 to 50 gr as a snack in the afternoon, and I’m set until dinner. And I’m having a daily calorie intake over 2400 cal.



  • I used to do one from Freelitics that was really for a biginner/mid level.

    For Time/5 rounds

    20 Air Squats 10 Push-ups 20 Sit-ups 20 Superman/arches 40 Jumping Jacks

    It was great because I could do it in 30 minutes, almost no warm-up, it activates the whole core, and can be easily modified to different levels. You can very quickly change the difficulty level of each exercise individually or increase reps. You can also try to improve your time. Finally, you can add weight with cheap dumbbells to every exercise.

    I would usually change the supermans/arches for hip raises to engage glutes an hamstrings.

    I would do it twice or thrice a week as a complement to some Natural Movements warm out, to get a full 1hr exercise. It was really easy to track progress too.
