Dev Appreciation Post

A few months ago I requested the option to mark as read by scrolling through your feed as I saw another Lemmy app added that feature. I got a reply that they would try their best but it seemed like it would be a difficult task.

Well I’ve just noticed that this feature is now an option! I may be late to the party since I don’t know when it got released, but how cool is that??

I’ve been very impressed with the development and responsiveness about requests, and this sealed the deal in making me a Memmy user for life!

Discussion Thread: Team USA vs Team Puerto Rico

Decided to make a thread for this since I didn’t see one posted. Team USA played Team Puerto Rico in their first FIBA game of the year and won convincingly, 117-74.

A few growing pains since these guys have only been together for a couple days, but they looked amazing in transition as that was an emphasis from Coach Kerr.

Jaren Jackson Jr looked dominant on both ends of the floor with 12pts/7rebs/2blocks.

Anthony Edwards may have been the most impactful player with 15pts/2rebs/4asts along with a handful of steals as well as a blocked shot! (Box score lists him with 4 steals no block, but if you watched the game one of those steals was a blocked 3 pointer)

The Hoop Collective podcast yesterday mentioned that Ant would be a player to watch and that he has the potential to step up and lead this team, and it looks promising so far! His defensive effort was great to watch and he had some nice flashy passes.

Also want to shoutout Jalen Brunson who had 11pts and 12rebs, one of the smallest players on the court and dominated the glass.

Vent Post about VO2max

I’m sure people have seen posts criticizing this feature on garmin communities in the past, but I just wanted to share my personal experience. Over the past 3 months I have really been putting effort into my exercise and fitness level, I do some sort of workout 5 days a week whether that be a bike ride, basketball cardio, or lifting weights. I can feel my body getting in much better shape and see the results in my physique, and notice my stamina and energy levels improving.

And yet, garmin VO2max seems to think I’m regressing! I know there are a lot of variables like temperature, elevation, whether I did a workout already that day etc but it is SO frustrating to see that my number did not move for 2 months and then has dropped twice in the past month, meanwhile I’m in the best shape I’ve been in since before the pandemic.

I know it’s just a silly number and isn’t the whole story, it isn’t always accurate etc. but it’s still so annoying to see. I went for a 3 mile walk today and I felt amazing, it was very warm out and the trail had a lot of hills so I know for a fact that played into the measurement, but garmin says I’ve dropped 2 points since I started working out and that’s just so dumb.

Anyways, rant over, thanks for reading if you did.

TLDR: Garmin VO2max is useless unless you’re training on a completely flat surface on a perfect weather day that isn’t too hot. Don’t let the stupid number discourage you, focus on the workouts and how you feel, because I feel amazing!

How often (And for how long) do you train Zone 4?

Hello all. I train on a stationary bike as well as a road bike, but have been doing more stationary lately. I’ve read a lot of conflicting opinions on heart rate training zones and wanted to get some input. I’m still somewhat new to bike exercising.

How often do you interval train, and how long is your workout?

Right now I do a zone 4 session about once a week, and do 5 minute intervals with 5 minute “rest” periods, so my total ends up being around 15 minutes in zone 4 and 15 minutes in zone 2.

Just wondering how other people are doing their workouts.

Any feedback, opinions, or input appreciated!
