Yeah should've been more specific, I'm trying to get going with the r/bodyweightfitness 's recommended routine. Problem is I can't do reps of pull ups but I can do chin ups by hanging on the inner handles or the ones perpendicular to the wall. Can I do those (and which ones of the two) instead of pull ups till I can do proper pull ups?
And what about the inclined handles? Would they make pull ups easier or harder?
Basically I was asking what happens (i.e. what muscles I'm training and how hard) if I use the bar in the four ways I listed
It's actually installed very close to the ceiling so I can hang without bending so no dips with this for me :/
So less pullups (e.g. 1 at a time) are better than more chin ups (e.g. 5 at a time)? While doing chin ups am i not also training for pull ups?
But that makes the body not accumulate any more, but what about burning the already present excessive one?
Love books and huge fan of libraries but how do you find the right book in the ocean of books?
This is the type of pull up bar that I have, how should I use it optimally?
4 ways of using it come to my mind:
- Place hands on the inclined outer handles and do a pull up with arms open wide
- Place hands with palms facing the wall on the "inner" handles and do a pull up with arms at shoulder width
- Place hands with palms facing my face on the "inner" handles and do a chin up
- Place hand on the handles which point out of the wall and do a pull up / chin up (sorry don't know in this case)
Are these excercises different for the group of muscles they target? And if so, how? Is there any ranking among them from worse to better?
Also if I can do chin ups just fine but I can only do negative pull ups, which ones should I choose?
I repeat what I said to the other commenter: how do you find actual good and trustable channels on a specific topic?
Follow up question: how do you find actual good and trustable channels on a specific topic?
I get that diet is the most important thing for abs but, are there excercises to burn fat specifically in the abs area? I'm pretty fit and my weight is ok, or even a little below what I would want, but my abs are not visible
How do you study languages? Any advice?
Very nice explanation, thanks!
Super cool, thanks!
Cool! Do you know any sources where I can read more about it?
Interesting, can you recommend some reads about it?
Are there other human traits like light skin which people developed to adapt to the "new" environment they settled in?
I'm referring to the human race evolving in the African continent and then migrating to the rest of the world.
Evolving in Europe made people light skinned to account for the reduction in sunlight exposure, are there any other traits which other ethnicities developed to adapt to their new environment? Or are the diifferent traits in different ethnicities just stuff that developed by chance and got somehow reinforced because of the isolation between populations?
This question came to my mind first thinking about "Asian eyes", do they serve any "purpose"?
there were small dinosaurs. They just don't get as much press.
I rest my case
Dinosaurs wouldn't be that popular if they were small like dogs
Alternative title: Dinosaurs wouldn't be that big if they weren't that big
Regarding sleep quality, why did humans evolve to require full darkness?
I know evolution is governed by chance and it is random but does it make sense to "ruin" sleep if there's light? I mean normally, outside, you never have pure darkness, there are the moon and stars even at night. In certain zones of the Earth we also have long periods of no sunshine and long periods of only sunshine.
I don't know if my question is clear enough but I hope so.
Bonus question: are animals subject to the same contribution of light or lack of it to the quality of sleep?
What are you currently excited for?
The birth (or death) of a relative, the release of a new program, game, series, movie, the date you were dreaming about, could be anything
I know that naming variables is one of the biggest unsolved problems of Computer Science but how would you name a boolean flag to be self explanatory?
What I mean is: some boolean flags are perfect for the real world phenomenon they are representing e.g. is_light_on makes you understand perfectly that when it is true the light is on and when it is false the light is off.
There are other cases in which if you didn't write the code and you don't read any additional documentation, everything is not clear just by looking at the variable name e.g. is_person_standing, when true it's clear what that means but when false, is the person sitting? Lying? Kneeling?
I'm obviously not talking about cases in which there are more states, boolean would of course not be a good solution in those cases. I'm talking about programs in which there are only two states but it's not obvious, without external knowledge, which ones they are.
The "Arch Linux Ports" RFC has been accepted and merged

Would I receive notifications for new comments on posts I saved?
Is there any scientific study about where should the bed be facing?
This is something I always wondered because some people have a bunch of theories about whether your head should face north or south or whatever, because of the earth magnetic field. Is there any science in this or just "superstition"?
Also, would it be better to have the head towards a window or away from a window, even if closed (e.g. in winter)?
I'm basically asking whether there exist "recommendations" on how to structure a bedroom backed by science.
Why did groups of human beings migrate to northern zones of the world, and how did they survive?
After reading the abstract of the paper mentioned here I started wondering, why did human groups migrate away from southerner (warmer) places towards the north which is far colder and has less possibilities to grow crops and wild animals to hunt?
Was the population density too high?
And after they migrated, what did they mostly survive on? Were they hunters-gatherers? Did they cultivate? Was it not more difficult to survive in colder climates?
Can anyone recognize these chords?

Kimyan Law - Mortal Life, the chords in the first part of the song remind me of some song but I can't remember which one, can anyone recognize them?
Help needed: can't install new Android extensions
Whenever I try to install an Android extension, except for the Recommended ones, by pressing "Add to firefox", I'm prompted to download the .xpi file and when it finishes I press " Open file" but I get an error saying I don't have any app which can open those files.
Has this happened to anyone else? Does anyone know how to fix it?
I'm on Mull 120.1.0
Does anyone know what is the progress on accepted Arch RFCs or if they have already been implemented?
I'm talking about
- https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/rfcs/-/blob/master/rfcs/0004-lto-by-default.rst
- https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/rfcs/-/blob/master/rfcs/0003-buildflags.rst
- https://gitlab.archlinux.org/archlinux/rfcs/-/blob/master/rfcs/0002-march.rst
I read some time ago that there were doubts from package maintainers regarding the -march RFC because of lacking tooling. Does anyone know if there has been any progress on solving those problems?
And what about the other two RFCs?
Is there any way the community can help?
