Why is the curved handle hanging from the fixations? Where it on top and there wouldn’t be the risk of falling due to the screw failing. Right?

I can think of lots of other use cases:

• Do asymmetric pull ups (as long as you compensate by doing the reverse next time)
• Try to do it with one hand (or with the help of the other arm grabbing your wrist)
• Jump from one grip to another
• Sit on top of it to have a better view of the gym
• Hang your coat or your hat
• Fix that to the back of a box with a weal and you have a nice wheelbarrow

Seriously: yes, there are differences. The reason it is easier to do with your palms facing your face is because you have a better help from your biceps, I think. So you’re exercising less your lats. But there is no “form worst to better” - want to train your lats, use supinated grip, not enough strength yet? Do negative, do some with a pronated grip…

Went ahead and watched it. It’s great. Thanks.

It’s a good analogy as well. Others have suggested “home” - it’s a good alternative.

That’s another issue I have: Maybe that could be resolved by implementing something similar to (or exactly) openid.

I feel the software we choose might limits us on the kind of thing we’re interested in, that’s why I have to have a lemmy account - I wouldn’t have a discussion like this one on mastodon, for example - and a mastodon account. Maybe a pixelfed account, a peertube account… what a mess! But that’s a subject for another discussion (this discussion was “Permanently Deleted”?!).

Sorry, I misunderstood you, then. :-)

@julesbl@mastodon.me.uk argues that this has been tried and failed here.

You might be right about being able to do almost anything whatever the instance you choose, as long as you already figured it all out, but having an account at a lemmy server, and two at two different mastodon servers, I do have the feeling that the presence on any of them is a different experience.

Don’t forget that what most people’s experience on the fediverse comes probably via mastodon and that they start by getting most of their content via home and local feeds. Federated comes third, i guess.

I am still struggling to find content on some of my preferred topics…

Thanks for the guide.

And the term would reinforce the need do stick to that entity rules. I agree.

That’s what I was thinking about.

I have to acknowledge the point @otter@lemmy.ca makes about there being a collision with the term “community” in the threadiverse perspective. Maybe “home” or even “tribe” or “people” would be a better fit. But I still do think that “community” encompasses the feeling best, and that collision will be promptly resolved once the user understands what communities really are on that narrower scope.

That’s maybe a compromise we will (have to | want to) make.

Once again - that’s my feeling, but I could be wrong.

The evolution of trust

I would worry more about the effect late night training could have on your sleep.

Some light soreness in the morning is expected and not to worry about.

Thanks.

I must have expressed myself wrongly. That’s my intuition as well - the fact that the open chain is more unstable can more easily lead to injury. Maybe a weird synergy, lack of motor control…

Last session (yesterday) I did my bench press with only 20kg more or less. I could complete all series no problem, but then during the night I regretted having done that.

@RustySerpent@lemmygrad.ml is right - I only get one set o shoulders.

I thought the opposite: the bench press is a more open kynetic chain than push-ups… that could be it. What muscle do you think it could be? It feels like the subclavius, but that would be odd wouldn’t it?!

I’ll try the decline bech press. Lets see…

I did try to pay attention to those details and… no change. Except for the arched back… maybe I should look into that a little bit more.

Thanks

Wasn’t there something already close to this? “OpenId”?..

Just stumbled upon this: https://wedistribute.org/2025/08/social-web-foundation-is-betting-big-on-client-to-server-api/

Let’s just hope…

Couldn’t IpenId fulfill this need? Do we really need to reinvent the wheel?

I wouldn’t mind having my identity just be a hash (of username@domain and some salt, for example) and have all other fediverse servers use that to authenticate and authorize me but display the username, logo, bio, etc that I had registered on that domain.

Maybe let me overide some information for context per site or inherit from the original id provider.

Then I could be known as FatFingersJoe at the guitar players site where I’m learning scales and SenseiJoe at the karate forum for my dojo. :-D

,or maybe I’m just missunderstanding this fediverse thing alltoguether! :-/

What I allways felt we needed was a federated identity system. Then all posts on a platform could just be followed on any other platform.

Now, joe@one.site has to create a separate account on other.site, but joe@other.site is already taken, so he has to go with doe@other.site and resort to solutions like this one to post to several locations at once.

What I whould suggest is to just create some kind of federated identity provider so that Joe can just be joe@joe.site and post on one.site, other.site or whatever.site he wants and have his posts federate magicaly throughout the fediverse.

Of course, moderation would have to be based more on user accounts than on nodes, I gess…
