GoodbyeTurtles posted:I've been told similar things by a few people (get good components, frame is much less important), so I'm looking to pick up a cheaper (but still new-ish) frame and fit some nice shiny shimano tiagra parts to it. it's probably gonna be more or less the same price. might aswell save some effort and just buy a new bike! do you got a decathalon nearby? their bikes are actually good and well priced, and you can go in and bike around the store to see if their comfortable. https://www.decathlon.co.uk/triban-520-road-bike-sora-black-red-id_8322663.html it comes with SORA but their fine. hemale in pain fucked around with this message at 20:53 on Dec 30, 2015 |

Ace of Baes posted:Had a patient a couple years ago who had wrist pain and numbness from cycling a couple hundred miles a week, he was on a road bike, but i imagine same thing could happen on a mountain bike. i should probably of explained more. i have a hardtail with little suspension travel so i get shaken around like crazy on rock gardens. staying loose only works so much  there's alos some really nasty rooty sections which require tons of manuals and i just dont go trail riding enough to get used to it!it's not ache from just riding my bike on bridleways so i think i fit well enough. |

Chill la Chill posted:I look forward to having a lot more spotters at the gym on Saturday I'm not going this week. It's far faaar too dangerous riding the roads to the gym on holiday season and the gym is so drat packed it's not fun. i dunno why but all the awful drivers come out of nowhere during the holidays and are in this insane panic to get to the shops. |

me and my bf plan to do some cycling around the chilterns this weekend i super need some tyres though because my current ones are ripped to shreds and I need new brake pads for the wet weather. we were thinking about doing a sportive but it costs like £25-30 just to enter for one person and it's not really worth it |

2 weeks ain't enough time to get fit for anything. probably best you can do is some cardio? i dunno anything about snowboarding though but getting better at cardio is good for everything.

Ace of Baes posted:The testing is the same across the board, special units just have barriers to entry called "schools" that require you to do weird or difficult things before joining their unit. Also Ive ran an 11:40 2-mile as a smoker and knew a smoker who was on the all army 10 mile team. (Competitive team of some of the best runners in the army) please dont smoke i dont want you to have cancer |

yeaaa, im awful at taking my own advice but it's best not to lift until the problem goes away and then when you come back take it really easy for a week or 2 |

hey friends, does anyone straight leg deadlift here? i've been doing them for a bit but i dunno if i'm doing them right. for normal deadlifts I brace at the bottom of the lift, push my chest up etc between reps but with straight leg deadlifts it feels better to take a breath at the top and squeeze my abs then lower the bar and go up again when it touches the floor with no pause (without trying to bounce it of course) im just curious if im turning it into a barbell row accidentally |

alnilam posted:That being said though, aren't free weights good for beginners because they work a lot of muscles at once and give you a good all around workout for few actual movements? i suck at lifting and i'm just parroting crap i heard on the internet but i think you basically need to work more at stabilising the weight with free weights and big multi joint movements help you get used to coordinating your muscles (I think?) |
