Keep in mind grip strength is highly correlated with testosterone : cortisol levels which is a good way to measure recovery rate. So perhaps you’re pushing too hard. Use a hand dynamometer to measure accurately like another poster has said. Reference - https://www.t-nation.com/training/4-ways-to-test-your-recovery-rate/
Also your grip strength is quite strong.
Sometimes I wonder if people actually use the things they make.
When you say you’ve been progressing very little, what precisely do you mean? Weight loss? Strength gains? Bicep strength specifically?
Why all the down votes?
I liked the article despite all the distracting unrelated artwork and being littered with well meaning quotes. There’s definitely lots of truth in here to explore.
I’ve found daily meditation helps with chronic pain and I’ve noticed on ‘bad’ days where I ruminate about it, it does feel worse. On good days I barely notice it. I’ve also experienced how transformative CBT can be for insomnia.
Edit: I wonder if psychedelics would help here as they seem to with trauma.
Those that don’t drive in the right-most free lane when not passing should be ticketed. Maybe that would help.
This is an interesting discussion. I’ve had a few loonies rage at me. How do you handle when drivers follow you way too close, like if you have to brake they might rear-end your car? I’ve had this happen a few times and it’s never because I’m driving under the limit, I usually speed moderately at 20% over. My solution has been to ease my foot off the accelerator to slowly slow down to give them a hint. Some catch on and back off, others get aggressive.
Edit: I should note that speeding up isn’t always possible because in some cases I’m behind someone else at a safe distance.
I’ve been reading books by Gabor Mate - recently finished When The Body Says No and almost done In the Realm of Hungry Ghosts. Lots of stories and insights into how others cope with what has happened to them. It helps to look at your own experience and coping through a new lens.
I wonder if anyone has had any experience using psychedelics in therapy? Not sure if this was in one of these books or if I read about this elsewhere.
This shit bag was encouraging other shit bags to flood 911 with fake emergency calls.
I use an app called Training Today that keeps a running average and gives suggestions on how hard to push yourself. It’s pretty good.
Marshall Mattress. I prefer the tight top - it sleeps cool and you can flip it. Mine is nice and firm, but they do have softer ones.
Right off the bat, the author misses perhaps the best thing about this engine - it’s incredibly fast at prototyping ideas. This is obvious to anyone who has used it to try and make something.
My silicone case is about 1.5 years old and the corners are starting to peel. First and last Apple case for me. I think it was $70 (cad). I feel like I should email Tim to complain.
