![]() Over the years I have had an on again, off again – mostly off again – relationship with weight training. Once I graduated college and got a job my schedule changed and working out fell by the wayside. I can see some veins in my arms that were not there before I started.Īs to my weight training / lifting background, I did a lot in high school and college like many other young men do. I have gained more definition and overall size over these past 12 weeks, so I know my body composition has changed. I started the program at 257 pounds and have finished at 262 pounds….a net gain of only 5 pounds. I didn’t count calories, protein grams or any of that. During this program I ate what I wanted, when I wanted. Do I carry around more weight then I should? Definitely. I have a full time job and an involved life and as such I don’t eat as “clean” as I would like to. I am a 46 year old male that is married and has two teenage boys that are athletes. If you want a more complete and detailed picture, read on. Follow it for 12 weeks and you will see results. If you just want a quick answer then here it is: I am also no professional writer, so keep that in mind as you read. This is a rather long post, so if you are going to read the entire thing, set aside a few minutes. You should see your doctor before beginning any exercise program and get their clearance to workout. The purpose of this post is to illustrate that anyone can get themselves into better shape no matter their age or starting physical condition. I would also recommend using the technique only if you're at an intermediate or advanced level of training due to the intensity, it's not really beginner-friendly.Here is my review of the Dr. ![]() That didn't take long, did it? Cardioaccelerated Rest-Pause Dropsets in ActionĪs mentioned, you can work cardioaccelerated rest-pause dropsets into any workout, limiting the technique to no more than one set per exercise. When that's complete, you're finished with your cardioaccelerated rest-pause dropset for the exercise. Step 3: DropsetĪfter reaching failure on the rest-pause, immediately lighten the weight by 20-30 percent-from 100 pounds to 70-80 on a cable stack or machine, from 50-pound dumbbells to 35s or 40s, etc.-and, without resting, rep out that lighter weight to failure. ![]() In these first two steps, you're essentially doing cardioacceleration and rest-pause simultaneously by replacing the short rest period with cardio. Step 2: Rest-PauseĪfter 15-20 seconds, go right back to the lifting exercise you were doing and rep out that same weight to failure. Do the cardio exercise for 15-20 seconds. Once you reach failure on that last set of the exercise, immediately go into your cardioacceleration activity-running in place, jumping jacks, step-ups, your choice. Once you hit failure on a given set, immediately drop the weight 20-30 percent and rep out to failure once more. Dropsets: a technique for training past failure, without resting, by lightening the load. Rest-Pause: a technique for training past muscle failure on a lifting set without lightening the weight.Īfter reaching initial failure, you rest 15-20 seconds, then resume the set to failure once again.ģ. It's important to go straight from your lifting set to the cardio to keep intensity high, so a bodyweight activity like running in place or jumping jacks is recommended, as opposed to a treadmill or other cardio machine.Ģ. Cardioacceleration: a form of HIIT cardio where, instead of standing around resting between sets in a lifting workout, you fill the downtime with a short, intense bout of cardio. They're pretty simple, actually, but just to make sure we're on the same page, let me quickly break down each of the individual components:ġ. Cardioaccelerated rest-pause dropsets aren't nearly as complicated as the name sounds. ![]() Hit me up on Twitter or by email on to tell me more about them. Instead, we will send our requests directly using the urequests package you saw in the previous section. Unfortunately, there is no equivalent library for MicroPython. I would love to know more about the apps you’re building. When using standard Python, we have the Twilio Python Helper library, which encapsulates all the complexities involved in talking to Twilio APIs. Get your backend right and you’re ready to do anything with Twilio in your application. If you want to use IP Messaging, Video or Client, you’ll want a server to generate access tokens for those services too. Using a pattern like this, we could also add phone number lookups to an application or generate phone calls. It is also great to now have a backend we can use with other other platforms as we can just perform direct HTTP requests to it. There’s a warm feeling about knowing that we were able to squash at least one vulnerability from our app by just following a few simple steps. Run the application again, and when the S end button is clicked we pass on the URL we want to post our data to, and upon getting a callback we either show an error message, or display a Toast on the screen saying the SMS message was sent. We use the onClick listener method on the button to to know when to make a request to our post method. Now that our project is created, open adle and add the following plugins and dependencies to it. We wrote a Getting Started with Gradle and the Spark Framework tutorial in the past in case you need help setting things up. Creating our backendīecause I’ll be using Java to create this backend, I’m gonna start by opening IntelliJ IDEA and creating a new Java project there.

To avoid this we will create a backend application that implements the Twilio REST API, wraps up your credentials and sends SMS messages for you. An attacker could decompile the application, extract your credentials and use your Twilio account for anything they liked. While Twilio is a REST API and theoretically you could make an HTTP request to it directly, you would need to store your Twilio credentials inside your app which poses a serious security issue. Still, we’ll be have it shipped in 15 minutes. We talk a lot about how to send SMS Messages from web applications, but how to send an SMS message from Android?

Apple’s senior vice president of worldwide Marketing, Greg Joswiak, describes these videos as “magical.” Although Apple, like most companies, can tend towards hyperbole, I’d say there is something really extraordinary about these videos, which I saw in a demonstration of the Vision Pro some months ago. In a Newsroom post, Apple specifies how the two latest Pro handsets are now capable of recording spatial videos, describing it as “a groundbreaking new capability that helps users capture life’s precious moments” and watch them back on the Apple Vision Pro when it’s released next year. Alongside the release of the update, Apple has set out lots more details about spatial video capture on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max.

If this actually goes through, I'm done with Adobe. The competitors do this in their cloud apps, so there's no reason Adobe can't, especially for the ridiculous prices they charge. OneDrive, Google Drive, Dropbox, etc.), even though they can easily do that. And they purposely don't allow users to use their local storage or hook in their cloud storage of choice (e.g. They know that users will need more storage since RAW files are huge, so it's basically going to be 9.99 USD + ANOTHER 9.99 USD to add 1 TB. If you notice in their updated Lightroom plan, they removed Lightroom Classic (taking away any ability to work on your local storage) and only offer a measly 20GB of slow-ass syncing. Microsoft is a great example of this with Office 365, and you get 1TB per user in addition to other goodies. Most companies who do subscription models offer a reasonable monthly cost (even lower if you commit annually), to entice users to stick with them for the long-run while being able to innovate and update their apps faster while making a profit. But what do you think?įor now, everyone can still find the standard Photography plan for the original pricing at B&H. But actually changing pricing by hiding a plan for a vast number of customers is a pretty drastic way to run market tests. This is all a big what-if scenario, granted. Those that rely on being able to stop a subscription and restart it during varying work cycles would also be hurt by not being able to keep a more affordable plan. Of course, this could mean the worst could be coming, as someone has to ask why someone would run such a test. If these tests are successful in that more than half of the percentage of people that only see the $19.99 Photography plan still end up going through with that purchase compared to the percentage of people that see both plans, Adobe will have good reason to get rid of the more affordable plan altogether. While Adobe may grandfather in current subscribers as many companies do when there are subscription price increases and changing plans, anyone new to photography would face paying twice as much as we all did when we started. ![]() Rarely do companies actually remove more affordable, better plans from many customers' views while leaving it up for others as a test. But it might not feel right to some who would unknowingly purchase more than they needed to. It is understandable that a company might want to run tests for various design, interface, and marketing elements and how this is all displayed on a website. This continues for many users that view all plans as part of tests Adobe is running in a way that for some seems linked to the Internet browser they're using. Notice how Adobe's current wording on the bottom shows only the $19.99 starting price. After all, this is what's currently happening on Adobe's website. Even then, who is to say Adobe may not be running tests through their phone sales as well, where they would tell some people and potentially not others. They would have to either shop elsewhere or specifically call in and ask if there just happens to be a more affordable plan available for purchase. new customers) would almost certainly not know about the original Photography plan for $9.99 when it's not presented on the page. While it may be the case that it's still available, unsuspecting users (i.e. The plan can be purchased at, via phone at 1-80 or via major retailers." We are currently running a number of tests on. Some users can apparently still see the original plan, and Adobe has now commented about the more affordable Photography plan:įrom time to time, we run tests on which cover a range of items, including plan options that may or may not be presented to all visitors to. And now, $10 only gets you Lightroom with 1 TB of storage, but leaves out Photoshop entirely. This is incredibly unfortunate, especially considering many users simply do not need or want any cloud storage space to begin with. for the 1 TB plan, since the 20 GB cloud storage plan is gone. Recently, some users have noticed Adobe is not displaying all of the available Photography plans, which means if you want both Photoshop and Lightroom, you're going to have to pay $19.99/mo. But for photographers, plans like the Photography plan seemed reasonable enough to go along with it. When Adobe switched to a subscription-only model, many creatives felt it was asking too much. But it's that first Photography plan that many, many photographers (myself included) are huge fans of. The Lightroom plan is Lightroom-only for $9.99. Adobe's current lineup of photography-related plans includes the Photography plan and the Lightroom plan, where the Photography plan comes with Lightroom, Photoshop, and options for 20 GB of cloud storage ($9.99/mo.) or 1 TB of cloud storage ($19.99/mo.).

The director of the film, Julius Onah, noted how they are "really testing [Sam Wilson" in this film and that a key question the story will be asking him is "what it means to lead:" I feel like I’m being made to come back for summer school ’cause it’s just too large to really put your mind around.” “Coming back for a second one, I don’t even feel like a sophomore.
