DIY "pirate's glasses"/Сделай сам "пиратские очки"

 This is my attempt at making a pair of "pirate's glasses" which supposed to improve eyesight.

You may wear them for 30 minutes covering each of your eyes in turns, but after you've done both eyes you must have an hour break before the next usage, give your eyes rest.

Это моя попытка сделать пару «пиратских очков», которые должны улучшать зрение.

Вы можете носить их в течение 30 минут, по очереди закрывая каждый глаз, но после того, как вы провели время накрыв оба глаза по очереди, у вас должен быть часовой перерыв перед следующим использованием, дайте глазам отдохнуть.

Растяжка для начинающих от клуба у шу "Алмаз"

Что можно сказать про этот метод растяжки для шпагата от клуба "Алмаз"?

Можно сказать, что он не работает! Так как по словам их мастера за полгода-год можно сесть на шпагат, если ежедневно тянутся, что, якобы, бабушка семидесятилетняя что-ли села на шпагат за 9 месяцев. Но стоит отметить, что бабушка это бывшая женщина, а женщинам шпагат даётся гораздо легче, чем мужчинам. Опробовав эту растяжку на себе в течение 6 месяцев мне на шпагат сесть так и не удалось, хотя я стал ближе к полу, чем с другими методами растяжки. Так что среднему мужчине со средней гибкостью таким образом на шпагат не сесть!

6 weeks to get splits try out

In my pursue of being able to do splits I stumbled upon this article which claimed it's possible to reach splits in 6 weeks of daily stretching following their stretching routine. You can proceed to see the original article following this link:

You are an average stiff man, wanna try it out? I don't recommend

So, to cut to the chase - I've tried it out for you already. I did it every day for 6 weeks and you may watch my video with daily report on how my splits were after each stretching session.

Then, on the last day of the challenge I recorded the whole process of the routine.

Here is the video--

DIY dip belt (for lighter weights)

Hello!

You know, doing weighted pull-ups or chin-ups using a backpack is not very comfortable and the weight distribution is far from being ideal. Thus people use dip belts for dips and pull-ups with weights. I was thinking if I should buy one or make one myself. The simplicity of the latter option outweighed the former one and I got to work!

I used a strong strap belt used for towing cars or strapping some loads on trucks. Okay, mine is not that strong, but it'll do for the time being. I just don't know how to call this kind of a belt.

At first I thought I would need some more things to make a usable dip belt, but it appeared that just a piece of the strap belt is enough! Just cut it with a knife or scissors to be suitable for your waist and to be not too long so weights wouldn't hit the floor on each of your dips.

You can just tie your dumbbells to it and use it right away!

On the second thought I decided to use my dumbbell plates which were lying around without use anyway, so I wouldn't need to bother attaching my dumbbells every time I wanted to do weighted pull-ups.

Again, just the belt may be enough if you make a sturdy and big enough knot on one end of the belt. The knot will not let the plates slip off the belt. A better idea is to reinforce the knot by some kind of a stick. It may be a bolt, or whatever sturdy enough to support the weights without breaking. I used a piece of some wooden branch which was lying behind my cupboard (for what purpose it was put there - long forgotten).

Fixing the belt on your body shouldn't be a problem.

Enjoy your training!

P.S.: I used a lighter to burn the cut ends of the belt making them less hairy.

DIY guide on how to make a head harness for weightlifting

Hello. I made a simple head harness, and I think if you are tight on money like I am then you can follow my simple design.

You'll need a strong belt/strap, scissors or a knife, lighter, and a scotch tape/thread and needle.

First, measure your head circumference with a tailor's meter or the strap which you are going to use and cut a bit longer piece than you actually measured, so you could tie two ends together. Tie it while on your head so it would fit it well.

Then cut two pieces off the strap whichever length you want for your training. These two pieces will hang down from the harness and hold your dumbbells or weight plates, so keep this in mind in consideration of their length. Tie them well to the sides of the loop you made for your head. I tied them right next to my ears so the straps wouldn't bother them when exercising.

Next cut a comparably short piece of the strap and tie it to the head loop behind the knots of the hanging straps. Adjust the length of it by putting the almost ready harness on your head and checking if the top piece is sitting well on your head. Don't make it loose or there is no sense in attaching this piece to the harness. You can even try the harness without it and see if it is OK. I put it there for additional support on the head.

Now use the scotch tape (sticky tape) to fixate all the knots of the harness in places. It's important to make them stable so they won't move during exercises. You can use a needle and a thread instead. For me it's much faster and simpler to use the sticky tape.

Now the final result is a harness which allows you to use weights in order to train your neck muscles.

I just tie a dumbbell to the hanging straps or even two dumbbells.

I use a hat to soften the pressure on my head from the harness.
