  • Training to failure is a pretty great idea for beginners and something that should be done often at any training age. Main reason being you need to take a set to within 3 reps of mechanical failure to get a proper growth stimulus. So you need to lean where the line actually is, and remind yourself often.

    I need to admit I didn’t read your post well enough and so my response was a little off. I think it’s important to point out that when you say beginners should train to failure often, this doesn’t mean every workout or every set of every workout, it’s just a tool that lets you learn where failure is and how many reps you can perform. And there’s some debate in all of this, but I think it’s pretty well accepted that training to failure does not in itself provide results above other methods.










  • Bitcoin is a great alternative to something like Western Union that charges high transaction fees. It’s time to transmit is comparable to a traditional back wire, but days faster than an EFT.

    Everybody knows Bitcoin is too slow to process point of sale transactions on-chain but there are other Blockchain solutions that can do it. Another user mentioned the lightning network which still actually is Bitcoin but it’s another layer.

    Also, I’ve just ignored the environmental impact of Bitcoin, which probably needs to move away from proof of work, or some other solution is required to lower the every requirements.
