Just want to say thank you for your help with the training, the first ride of the tour is in the bag... And completely smooth sailing on keeping up with the lead group in our company. Those Gp5000 tires are really heavy weights. I probably had enough in the tank to go 32km/h, but first and foremost, it is a team ride for cancer so I took it easy and tried to do my part to break the wind for the others. Tomorrow 114km, but very flat with 380m or so of elevation. I was able to get down to 170lbs morning weight (maybe 172-174lbs in the evening), so 20lb loss in the last 2.5 months, and over 25lbs in the last 3.5 months or so. That definitely made a big difference. My recent training rides have had a lot of climbing, and I've been averaging 30km/h on the 50km rides with 500-600m elevation gain when riding solo. I cut out the gym workouts maybe 2 months ago, not sure how big a role it played, but it felt significant... Seems like the human body doesn't like to get good at multiple things at once. ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/8pvnfak.jpg) | ||

I'm deciding between their base model and their mid range. Does anyone have any experience or insight about them? They're very fancy gadgets, but there's not much useful functionality in any of the higher tier models, imo. Garmin Forerunner 55 does everything it needs to do; unless for some reason you need maps (you almost certainly don't), the more expensive models are just bling. One exception is music I suppose -- if you need a watch that does music then look at w/e model supports that I guess, other than that, the upgrades are very superficial. All the extra training metrics and training plans yadda yadda are okay for like, older people who are strapped for time I suppose or something, but if you're serious about training then there are much better third party apps and if you aren't serious about training then you don't really need that stuff to begin with. | ||

I love my garmins - had a vivoactive 4 for a couple years and just upgraded to the fenix 7. If i was going to get a barebones watch I'd get the Instinct (probably still way overkill for your kid), but looks like they have a couple kid-oriented options you could look at (vivofit jr, bounce) | ||

SO many "meta analysis" studies being done. WIth "meta analysis" you don't have to do any lab work. My Meta anaylsis of all this "meta analysis" going on is.... it is a cheap way to go after some easy low hanging fruit, super-obvious medical facts. All while making it look like you are some kind of scientist. However, a mathematician IS NOT a scientist and math IS NOT a science. Be careful to pick thru the methodology of any meta analysis study. If the meta analysis people are botching at a layman level how can we trust the advanced math trickery they employ? How can we even trust they are using any of the fancy math correctly? They have plausible deniability on their side. "oops sry guys we didn't realize that orthogonally diagonalizing a linear diophantine equation gives a meaningless result". ya ok man. great. i trust the math. i don't trust the people. That's my meta on the meta-anaylsis trend. | ||

I'm now around 94kg and did a 420kg Powerlifting Gym total this week. 135kg Squat 105kg Bench 180kg Deadlift https://www.instagram.com/p/Cxc_B6yMk2C/ I think most improvements % - weight wise can come in the Squat. In terms of technical skill I believe Deadlift is proper solid. Squat is very decent too but could work on cutting some depth to increase weight on powerlifting level. Bench can be improved pretty far with better stability. Overall very happy with my journey. Cheers people - Bovo | ||

Dialing back my weights a bit and focusing on my breath & core work to re-align my annoying hips/ribs/shoulders. I think I've adapted to my imbalances so well at this point that I manage to stay pretty pain free i.e. did a bunch of shitty deadlifts at 405-455 where I could see my form breaking down and bar rotating pretty noticeably and felt find the next day - but I can just feel when i'm playing rugby/cycling/running that my movement patterns are suboptimal and need to re-pattern them. Only managing about 2x lifts per week now that we're into rugby season unfortunately. Hard to get a third one in on top of practice, games, cycling 100 miles/wk, work, etc. but I could def use the extra session for core and upper body work to stay healthy. Not enough hours in the day lol. | ||
