DIY tablet (pad) holder for a door knob

Hello, everyone!

I want to share my DIY thingy - tablet (pad) holder for a door knob.

You will need a cardboard box, scissors, some straws or sticks to fix a tablet inside the box and that's it.

First, put the tablet in the box and make 4 holes as close to the surface of the tablet as possible, on the same line of the tablet frame in order not to cover the screen. Then make a hole suitable for your door's knob.

Second, put the straws through the holes.

Third, connect the straws as in the photo.

Fourth, use your tablet holder as you see fit.

In my case I spend meaningful time in the toilet translating some manga, so I need my hands free to use a translation software in my phone. 😁

It's pretty safe and the tablet won't fall out easily.

training with 4 kilos dumbbells

This is a video of me training with 4 kilos dumbbells, following Sandow's system plus some variations of my own.

Feel free to ask questions about my training.

Biceps exercises are still the most painful of all, push-ups with weights are still the most difficult of all.

Это видео того, как я тренируюсь с 4-х килограммовыми гантелями, следуя системе Сандова плюс некоторые мои собственные вариации.Не стесняйтесь задавать вопросы о моей тренировке.
Упражнения на бицепсы по-прежнему самые болезненные из всех, отжимания с весом всё ещё самые сложные из всех.

They look similar, don't they? Trump and Zadornov.

Results after 3 kg Sandow's sytem cycle

It's the end of the second cycle of Sandow's dumbbells exercises system and it's time to do the next measurement.

Let's see what I got during the last 15 days of training.

All measured parts show increase in size and even my belly which I don't like! I think it's due to my excess eating of ice-creams and cookies.

All measures are in centimeters.

R&L biceps: 36.5; 35.6

Chest (inhaled): 106

Waist: 85.5

R&L thighs: 60; 59

R&L calves: 39; 39

R&L forearms: 29.5; 29

I'd like to remind that the measurements were taken next day after finishing the cycle (the body was not pumped by the exercises right before the measurements but in a normal state).

По завершении следующего цикла приходит время замеров! Всё подросло, включая живот, что меня не очень радует. Но я думаю это произошло из-за того, что я ел безмерно мороженки и печеньки.

Выше можно посмотреть результаты замеров в таком порядке:

Бицепсы

Грудь

Талия

Бёдра

Икры

Предплечья

Всё дано в сантиметрах.

next post in the "Sandow's system"

Hello again and this is the next post in the "Sandow's system" topic.

Last time I posted a video of the 7th day of dumbbells exercising and this time it's the same 7th day with the only difference that the dumbbells became 1 kilo heavier, that is 3 kilos!

My impressions - yeah, it's like 1.5 times harder to do the exercises with this weight plus my arms still ache where forearm begins.

Nevertheless I witness some growth in my muscles and I swear I don't do anything else except daily exercises with 3 kilos dumbbells.

Let me tell you my results after 15 days of exercises with 2 kilos dumbbells:

Biceps right and left - 35.5cm 34.5cm

Chest - 105cm

Waist - 83cm

Thighs R L - 58cm 57cm

Calves R L - 38.5cm 38.5cm

Forearms R L - 29cm 28.5cm

Здравствуйте еще раз, и это следующий пост по теме "система Сандова".

В прошлый раз, я разместил видео на 7-й день тренировки с гантелями и на этот раз это тот же 7-й день, с той лишь разницей, что гантели стали тяжелее на 1 кг, то есть  теперь они 3 кг!

Мои впечатления - да, раза в 1,5 труднее делать упражнения с этим весом плюс мои руки до сих пор болят, там где начинаются предплечья.

Тем не менее я вижу некоторый рост в мышцах, и я клянусь, что я больше ничего, кроме ежедневных упражнений с гантелями по 3 кг не делаю.

Позвольте мне рассказать вам мои результаты после 15 дней упражнений с гантелями по 2 кг:

Бицепс справа и слева - 35.5cm 34.5cm

Грудь - 105см

Талия - 83см

Бедра П Л - 58см 57см

Икры П Л - 38,5 38,5

Предплечья П Л - 29см 28.5cm

Eugene Sandow's system plus variations - day 7

Day six - muscles on the arms' bent are aching like crazy. Whether it's the lower edges of biceps or something else, I don't know, but it makes training more difficult.

Here is how I perform exercises on the 7th day of training. Dumbbells are 2 kilos each.

На шестой день руки болят на сгибах, транироваться труднее с этой болью. Выше выкладываю видео того, как я делаю упражнения на 7-й день.

MY DUMBBELLS ARRIVED

MY DUMBBELLS ARRIVED

And so after several days I have got my set of dumbbells and can start training by Sandow's program.

There was a bit of disappointment as the dumbbells are made not of metal, but of concrete in plastic tanks with small round caps not letting it to spill out. Compared to normal metal plates these are much bigger and occupy unnecessarily more space. Though they are cheaper I would still prefer metal ones to the concrete ones but I didn't know what I was buying before I got the parcel. I ordered some metal plates as an addition to my pair of dumbbells so I could add weight gradually, by one kilo after a cycle of training.

Now I'd like to introduce measurements of my body parts before I begin following Sandow's system on obtaining strength.

Biceps right and left: 34.5 and 33.2 cm

Forearms right and left: 28.5 and 28 cm

Chest (inhaled): 102 cm

Waist: 85.3 cm

Thighs right and left: 55 and 54 cm

Calves right and left: 38.5 and 38.4

Weight: 74kg

Гантели прибыли и можно начинать занятия.

Пришлось докупить блинчики, чтобы можно было подобрать именно 2 кило и потом поднимать на 1 кило, стандартного набора гантелей на 10 кило не хватает для этих целей.

old physical training system developed by Eugen Sandow

  Hello, everyone! I decided to try out this old physical training system developed by Eugen Sandow.

  You may ask why? Who knows, but anything I tried so far didn't feel right to me. Maybe this system is the one I've been searching for all this time? It's easier and less time consuming than anything else, it's suitable for a small room, light weight barbells are widely available and for a small price compared to other equipment you need to use in commonly used systems. All the pros and no cons it seems.

  Another reason for me to try it out is the fact that I couldn't find any examples of usage of it on the Internet. Only a few articles about Sandow and none real life examples of people doing it and their results. I'll try fill in this void and show you what can it do to an average man.

Good luck to me, good luck to you and leave your feedback in the comments especially if you have tried it and followed the system for at least 3 months or more.

  Привет всем, будем начинать заниматься по системе Сандова-Мюллера с легковесными гантелями. Почему? Потому что ничего другое не работает для меня, а возможно и для вас. У нас нет времени на двухчасовые тренировки, на поездки/походы в спортзал, нет денег на абонемент или дорогие штанги и другие вещи. У нас нет силы воли заниматьса тяжёлыми гирями и прочим спорт. инвентарём. Но у нас есть желание сделаться сильнее и краше!
  Вот поэтому давайте и попробуем систему Сандова-Мюллера. Но будем внимательны и не будем пользоваться поддельной системой Ю. Шапошникова! В русском сегменте интэрнэта распространена именно шапошниковская система, которая не верна по сути. В ней использована сандовская система, как основа, но привнесено много упражнений, которых в ней не было, изменена таблица повторений и самое главное - взято с потолка время, необходимое для прохождения одного цикла упражнений и перехода на следующий.
  Мы же обратимся к первоисточнику и будем следовать именно системе Сандова-Мюллера, а не системе Юрия Шапошникова.
  Присоединяйтесь и следите за моим опытом, будет ли он провальным или успешным. Я буду выкладывать видео и фото с момента, как приедут мои свежезаказанные гантели для занятий.

DIY trash box

Hi! Another DIY (do it yourself) guide from me. This time it's  a trash box. What you need: an empty box, yogurt straws, something to make holes in the box.
Puncture the holes like on the photos and then put in yogurt straws and bend their ends to plug the second holes which will make the construction more steady.

I got this idea since I buy yogurts but never use those straws and just collect them in a drawer just in case. Then I was buying milk in boxes for some time and accumulated several of the boxes. Then I thought that to use it as it is is not that good because of the flappy lids. So making them stay up and together allows to put more trash in the box!

Do it yourself (DIY) temple tips for glasses.

  So, basically you can see everything in the pictures. You'll need some plastic to wrap the tips in it. You'll need fire to let is sit firmly there. You may need some paint or anything like that to make it the color of your choice.

No phones on China Eastern

No phones on China Eastern

  You know, this came as a very bad surprise - no usage of mobile phones allowed on board of China Eastern planes. Why the hell laptops can be used, and tablet PCs are ok, but a phone even with an airplane mode on is not allowed to be used? So how am I supposed to read a book or watch my videos? The magazines offered on board are all in Chinese so who can read them except Chinese? The video screens in the plane show some bullshit or don't show anything at all, so it's very boring if you don't havea book with you or something else to do. I didn't have a book, a book is a heavy thing to travel with.
 China Eastern claims it's the law in China which prohibits the usage of mobile phones, but then again this law is so unfair by alowing to use laptops and other things.
