I have resistance bands for doing pull-ups. I'm currently on the green (most helpful) band and I'm doing 3x6-8. The last set is quite hard and I'm just about getting to 6 sometimes 7 rep.
It's not really clear how to progress and go to the next band. Asking AI which I kind of don't trust, it says I should do 3x10 clean before progressing. Is that true?
Does anyone have any guidance on this. Thank you
Im 5" 9 and weighed 93kg (close to 15 stone) and 43 years old (male). I've had a few health problems and discovered I had an underactive thyroid.
I'm so happy I found this sub and the information I found for new people has been really great.
I've started on medexpress then swapped to bolt pharmacy and saved a lot there.
I'm just finishing my 0.25 pen tonight and then I'll be going to 0.5.
I do still get cravings but I'm being good. Whole foods, smaller portions at dinner and just a protein shake of an evening. I've slipped up twice and gave into the sin of cereal and lots of sugar twice. Tried drinking once after a stressful day at work but the following day was so painful I'll not do that again.
I'm also working out and aiming for 8000 steps a day (I just can't do 10, I don't have the time with the kids)
But I just want to say thanks everyone. For the first time in I don't know how long, the NHS BMI says I'm overweight and no obese ha ha. In all seriousness good look to everyone here.
So I'm a dotnet dev who is in the fortunate position of having to move over to node and build a whole new application in that space.
In my extensive conversations with Claude and googling I have come across nestjs. This was around the time I was telling it I was familiar with dependency injection etc.
So it has lots of bells and whistles, middleware and DI.
The application I'm building will be part of a Microservice system, will have to use logging and telemetry. We will likely also have to be able to horizontally scale this application.
I'm wanting to build something that is idiomatic when it comes to the node / Typescript world. If a new node dev came on board I want them to look at it and go "oh yes this is familiar". So I have been looking into this.
Nest looks nice, but I'm worried it's a little non-standard. I understand that binding yourself to a framework can be a little dangerous and I also understand that depending on what the app is doing you may not want to use a heavyweight framework.
Those of you who have used it, is it worth it? Did you find yourself spending more time learning the framework or dancing around it than shipping features?
As always thanks in advance.
When I was 20 I had my first girlfriend. She had lost her virginity to me and not longer after that we had sex and I felt the most incredible feeling around my penis. Her vagina clamped around me.. it was unfortunate because it was unexpected.. and I think I made a face and I came and... It never happened again.
I'm now 43 and married. I have had a few partners over the years but it never ever happened again.
I'm upset by that because the feeling was incredible. I have literally tried to do everything I can in the bedroom to try and help make this happen again. Foreplay, giving head, taking my time, being rough (when they liked that).
They have told me they have come and enjoyed it but you never really know. That's how I feel. I feel like with men we're easy and automatic. With women it's so hard, so many things come into it.
I have had friends who have told me there girlfriends have squirt... I have never had this happen either.
I really do want to make my wife happy in bed.
I am starting to think that I must be rubbish overall in bed. I'm starting to really diet and work out like never before, I'm thinking that maybe because I have a bit of a tummy that I'm not attractive and maybe that has something to do with it.
Genuine question, never been there and I'm from the UK but recently I seen news about the music festival where women were being stabbed with syringes
This has happened in the UK as well but it's fairly shocking.
Is is this all far right hog wash or is there any truth to it?
if it's not true, a lot of the footage of what went on was very wild.
I've been cooking chicken for years. I love roasting covered and letting meat rest or cutting up and frying in a wok.
In both cases lately I'm finding the chicken to be its own workout to chew through.. very stringy and tough and sticking in all of my teeth.
This is happening with the breasts of chicken. Anyone else noticed this?
I'm getting back into it after a long time off and I'm trying to be as serious with working out as I can be.
I'm doing PPL, yesterday was push. I did
4 x 12 incline smith
4 x 10 cable low to high cross over for upper chest
4 x 10 cable high to low cross over for lower chest
3 x 12 ohp
3 x 12 lateral raises
3 x 12vreverse cable stretches (triceps)
3 x 12 rope pull downs.
Now today I don't have an ache in my Chest or arms, they feel a little worn, but I'm worried I'm not training hard enough.
I really did go to failure and I made sure especially with the chest exercises that I squeezed at the end of the exercise as much as I could. I was sweating a lot.
Should I be finishing maybe with a drop set with as many as I can to really tear my muscle? Thanks
I used the price comparison table on https://igovy.co.uk/wegovy-price-comparison-uk/ and bought from med express, however I don't think my next order on the 0.5 will be £73 since the £50 discount is applied to new customers.
Would I be best to apply to the "maintenance" filter? I seen that cheapest would be bolt pharmacy.
I'm very new to this and just ordered from first pen.
Thanks for any advice.
Does IBKR ISA allow you to trade via it's API?
I have a redumentary understanding of the market. If I get something wrong, I'm sorry, I'm here to learn.
After an initial IPO the shares are sold and the company that offered the shares get their money. After that all trading is between investors.
It seems that there is a disconnect between the share price and the actual company. It is perceived to be connected.. but it isn't. There is the promise of dividends (one day) but this isn't always the case, then there is the hope there are buy backs but again might not happen.
When earnings come in for a company and they're good, the share price may go up. But why?
It seems to me that what effects the share price is a general misunderstanding on how things really work and irrationality which drives the price.
It's like a gigantic game of musical chairs.
This makes me think about technical analysis, which is essentially applying patterns to an irrational random thing. I think.
Is there anything to this understanding of the market you would add, anything I could read etc that would help me understand the market more?
Hi all, I have just transferred to freetrade and this had to be a cash transfer.
I'm wondering what others are doing with getting back into the market given some of the issues going on at the moment.
Normally when I do partial transfers I just buy back in, but this being my entire pension in cash I feel a little nervous.
I suppose it would make sense to drip feed back into the market, whether this matters on a monthly or weekly period, I don't know.
Btw, I'm only going back in on a passive index fund, no other investments. Just a single tracker.
edit: more context. I'm 42 and still in my accumulation phase. it's built up mostly over the last 12 years when I started taking my pension seriously.
