I do it strictly for the cardio.  I am not a big road bike person and probably never will be.  I lift weights and this cardio is better than running IMO. Those road bikes are CRAZY high!

There's no spin equivalent of doing reps of a steep climb, I don't get the same cardio/burn. I like changing gears, making turns, manipulating around other people, bikes.

Great forum, spin is wicked!! If you guys could check out this platform I made with classmate (business students from UCLA) it would be greatly appreciated. We love spin and other gym classes but had trouble finding classes that were cheap enough to regularly participate. We created a unique platform for getting the best classes for super cheap. It's working so far but only with a small sample of people (~20). Any feedback would be greatly appreciated!! Also we have some pretty cool free shirts :) Let me know!

I have a cycleops spin bike in my living room. I use it everyday. It is convenient having it at home. Got home  at 1:00 am after a 7 hour drive. Did a 30 min spin workout, showered, drank a protein shake, then went to bed. I got to sleep in.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      Ok, I'm trying to find a feel to hit a consistent ball flight (irons).  My current predicament.  1. I try to do the arms down stuff better, with the club feeling like it is way behind me more. It's just a cluster of results. Most of the time, I can't get any speed on the swing. If I get my arms down faster, I just throw them out.  2. I focus all my attention on turning better. Pushing off with my left leg and getting my right side through better. On the DTL view, this doesn't produce anywhere close where the hands and club should be. The result is usually ball first contact, lower ball flight, more centered contact.  At this point, I am going with option 2. Stop thinking about what the hands do. Just make a shorter backswing, keep it wide, turn through. Somehow, the club head finds the ball. My focus is so much on just making sure I turn, it's like, "Oh, that contact was better.... Oh, that bell flight looks playable." If not, I will just be practicing my entire summer.

      Nope, they spent too much money. They are in over 28 million on the football roster and related NIL compensation at this point. Boosters associated with any Texas college football team has HUGE sway. The AD is between a rock and a hard place. They put a lot of money into Sorsby, at the chance of winning a NC this year. If you move on, you basically wasted a lot.  This is why Ohio State wants 3 QB's they feel can start. That is why the backups the past 5 years at some point transfer. Texas Tech has no backup near the quality of Sorsby. If they move on, they are screwed for 2026.

      Maybe there's something I still don't understand about the situation. Wouldn't Texas Tech do itself a favor to move on from Sorsby at this point?

      Day 281 6-10 Full swing, fast, getting low point ahead of "towel".  Working on flow during this seems to help.
