Cool! At least it's not a swivel chair like mine.

My girlfriend wants to buy a house together. Give me as many reasons as possible to not do this. by MySensesAreTinglingin AskReddit

[–]-Nii- 0 points1 point ago

I'm looking towards moving out soon, and uncertain whether to combine with my SO, sister, or to pay for it myself. Its more feasible to combine with someone else right? Can pay off the loan faster and rack up less interest.

Given what little (not) you know about me, what do your recommend?

I'm a long time competitive gymnast that stopped right before college. As an adult, is there a good alternative to gymnastics? by deathraygunin Fitness

[–]-Nii- 0 points1 point ago

Yeah I shouldn't be fear mongering so much, I've never seen it happen in person...

Well the problem is that you can get creepy people in all walks of life. It won't happen in the more advance classes (since they'll be too busy trying not to be killed and choked out), but I can see it happening in beginner classes when you get UFC fanboys coming in to learn the mighty style of the Gracies.

Hey fittit, I just joined a small gym, what should I know for gym etiquette? by mcgillicudyin Fitness

[–]-Nii- 0 points1 point ago

I was under the impression that gyms have a requirement for towels as a hard rule anyway.

What would be awkward is triangle choking a girl while you've got a boner.

And no problem, BJJ is cool. I don't have much experience in it since I'm more of a Judo man myself but I can appreciate the high level of technical skill required as well as general fitness.

Barring true scotsman arguments, OP is a girl and might want to take it into account regardless.

Also if you are uncomfortable with rolling around with sweaty dudes and getting stuck in face in crotch holds (triangle choke) then take a look at Judo. Its a related art and is a little better regarding personal space.

What does it look like? This is what I use whenever I think noone is looking (very difficult in an open office environment!).

Would they topple over? I can't imagine doing dips on two chair backs, they'll both topple into me!

A warning to people that wish to follow the DIY PVC parallette guides online... by -Nii-in bodyweightfitness

[–]-Nii-[S] 0 points1 point ago

Hey dude, yeah I just looked up different PVC pipe styles and I was not aware of DWV, which was the one I got. Much thinner walls than sched 40 PVC.

I'll rebuild it with the thicker pipe. There should be no need for PVC glue still right?

Will do! Its just easier at the moment to suddenly do an L-Sit in my office chair when I'm bored heheh.

Is there an easy to way to get specific lengths of steel pipe? Also connecting the fittings together might be a little finicky. You'd need threaded pipes or actually weld them together wouldn't you?

Nah that's fine man, my piping knowledge probably isn't as good as yours.

In my experience when I was in the mines, procurement works like this (without exception):

Buying steel pipe (carbon steel or stainless)

  • Request nominal bore for diameter (25NB for example)
  • Request schedule for thickness (sched 40 usually)

Buying poly/HDPE

  • Request outer diameter (so 32OD)
  • Request SDR or PN for thickness (PN10 for normal, PN16 for firewater)

Never the other way around.

From there I just assumed what I mentioned in the previous comment. I'm not too experienced with PVC to be honest, I do remember requesting class 12 PVC pipe fittings though.

SL 5X5 + BW Fitness? by otokononakaotokoin bodyweightfitness

[–]-Nii- 1 point2 points ago

I got more of a resounding yes from the article. You can't really aim for linear progression since you won't be training the same exercises, but you'll still get an improvement in the equivalent exercise (so I'm guess your bench will get better as your horizontal push exercise improves).

I will as soon as I am strong enough! Can barely do tuck L-sits at the moment already...

[–]-Nii-[S] 4 points5 points ago

Yeah but when they catch me do it I can't really do anything to reduce the embarrassment so I just look at them in the eye while doing dips slowly.

I also use my chair's arms for L-sits now since nothing else is available (yes I'm the dude that broke my PVC parallettes).

I have literally no butt, and no experience with exercise (I'm nowhere near overweight though). How can I built a crapton of muscle? by ihavenocurvesin xxfitness

[–]-Nii- 1 point2 points ago

Well, for the power cleans you'd typically do 5 sets of 3! So don't feel bad =)
