Nice door @Arcane

 

[BananaDunka]

I bought the one linked and it just arrived, should I be able to max it out right away?

Maybe I should grab a 200lb one from here, if anyone has any experience?

Depends on the person If you're a bigger person with than naturally you'll be able to grip stronger

I purchased a new internet connection.

1Gb down, 100Mb up?

150Gbps Hyperoptic service. Thankfully i'm not in Bradford!

It's sold as 900Mbps down, 110Mbps up. Symmetric would be nice but this will do. It's a big step up from 60/20 VDSL.

I guess, I was hoping they'd last a while though! I'll just keep them on 60KG until I can do 50+ reps then buy something more difficult.

The rubber band thing for resistance when opening your hand is another story, that thing is dificult.

 

[BananaDunka]

Don't just focus on reps, time under tension. You will find it harder if you hold a rep for x amount of time. The longer you hold, the more workout your arms are getting and the greater the benefit, much more than just repping it out. Negatives and time under tension over reps all day long

Nice door @Arcane

Thanks.

I purchased a new internet connection.

And here's me, still stuck with 10Mb/s ADSL2+ with no access to fibre despite living in the middle of a city.

Yeah basically you get the game code ready for when it launches. I think they only made 45,000 worldwide.

Dunno if its true but I read you don't even get a code and the game is linked to the console somehow.

You don't even get the physical game in the box? How times have changed...

It's tied to the console it appears, I'm guessing as it's not out until September and saves issues with codes.

Nice. I'm thinking of the same to replace a worn out "treehouse"/climbing frame which the kids are too old for.

Never to old for a tree house

Hopefully I'll do a build log for the gym

 

[Supercow]

Not really relevant to this forum, but hey ho

Bought two for a trip to Indonesia, COVID striked and plans cancelled. Then bought another one to make me feel better about the cancelled trip.

I'm surprised that FTTP became available here. It's a fairly small town which already had very good VDSL coverage.

Hmm as long as you're getting progressive overload in from somewhere (more reps, 1 & half reps, increased weight etc etc) then there's gains regardless IMO.

 

[BananaDunka]

Both get the end result but TUT is tougher and results come quicker after trying it for all my resistance workouts having read and watched many methods!

Finally got fttp installed here as well - went from 5.3mb on 'fiber broadband' (to the cabinet and 3km of copper):


to 324mb on fiber 500

 

[siezar]

Bought a mesh WiFi system ...

Spoiler

... and some MDF sheet and speaker cloth to make something to hide the unsightly cables and sockets:

Before:



After:

What I envy most about your room is the lack of clutter. There's not a photo frame in sight and there's barely any ornaments.

Yep, the outreach properties are moving to FTTP first. Considering you were on 5mb before, it's no wonder they installed fibre for you.

Unfortunately for us (on 65mb) in a newish house, we'll be one of the last

 

[Tephnos]

BT are actually going around and installing FTTP now instead of ****** compromise solutions?

It was just about enough to work on 5mb, they ran overhead fiber at the beginning of the year (well a subcontractor did) and then turned it on the day before lockdown - been a painful few months waiting!
