Freelap Timing System - Full Review
I've had my Freelap Timing System for a full indoor and outdoor athletics season and wanted to make an organic review video to help anyone considering a purchase.
The set I bought has four cones and a Touch Pro to start, meaning I can have three intermediate splits. As I say in the video, this was an accident based on the assumption that I needed to make a "gate" with two cones. I would say that having at least one split time is really helpful, as it's quite common for sprinters to think about acceleration and top speed as two separate qualities. If I only had two cones I would position one at ~30m so I always know how well I've got out, and then beyond that will effectively be a "flying" time where I'm at or near top speed.

Grounding/Earthing Sheet for Sleep and HRV [Results]

After learning about grounding or "earthing" I thought I'd do a little self experiment - 40 nights with a grounding sheet to see if I can move my wearable data in a positive direction.

I also looked at metrics like the duration of each sleep stage, respirato...

I admire your dedication my friend trying lots of different protocols. I was a bit like you when I was your age. Nothing worked although I lost no more hair till 50. See my post below. I am now 63 and had 2 hair transplants . Best money I ever spent. If you count up the total money spent on lotions and potions you could probably afford a hair transplant . I went to Turkey. I am currently 4.5 months in to my second transplant and the results are good. I also have a Demi wave on my hair every 4 months to increase the illusion of density. You can also get a scalp tattoo which would blend in to your existing hair . Would look good on you as you keep your hair short . I think eventually you will go down my route. By the way the transplant knocked 10 years off me. All my friends and family were amazed. You won’t regret it
I started losing my hair at 18. Went to see a trichologist who confirmed mpb. This was in the 1980s. Read as much as I could on the subject and started massaging my scalp every day . I never lost anymore hair up to the age of 50 but the hair strands did thicken. After the age of 50 I suffered from extreme clinical depression and lost my motivation for life. I stopped massaging my scalp and the rest of my hair dropped out. Pulled myself out of depression after 10 years although have bipolar and embarked on 2 hair transplants . Best money I spent and am now doing the massaging again. If you massage the back of your head you will notice the skin is loose and flexible whereas the crown and temple not as much. For me the most important thing is to make sure that your crown and temples are as flexible as the back of your head. It’s very hard to regrow hair back. However, the earlier you start massaging the more chance you have got to fill in the gaps. Massage your scalp every day for the rest of your life if you still have some hair or have had a hair transplant. You don’t need to obsess too much
Hello, Thank you for your interest in Freelap and for this really well explained video about how you are using Freelap ! Congratulations on the interesting content you produced and on your 2 cute daughters (maybe future champions ? ^^) For 3pt start we really recommend to use the Tx Pad Pro instead of the Tx Touch Pro. Indeed, contrary to the Tx Pad Pro, the Tx Touch pro has a very small zone where the magnetic field is not present so it may miss a start sometimes if you are doing 3pt start. It is the reason why we recommend Tx Pad Pro for 3pt start, you won’t have any trouble with it doing 3pt start. We stay at your disposal, Have good training sessions with Freelap !
Higher resting heart rate is better!! Look into Ray Peats work, of course science has it backwards. Higher resting heart rate shows more vitality.
Do you know about rob from perfect hair health? He’s prob the best channel on hair regrowth. Check out his channel
Thankyou for this. I like real evidence on GVT.
A month ago I started taking 300mg of Saw Palmetto per day and noticed that I do not have erectile problems as I did when taking propercia in the past. Last week I have also introduced 1000mg per day of pumpkin seeds oil. I also use minoxidil for years and do 1 derma roller per week.. I am planning to keep doing all these for at least 6 months and then maybe I will introduce half a pill of propercia 2 times per week.. Will just have to wait i guess
For the intense itching I do a deep layer of aquaphor, drink crazy amount of water, and take an antihistamine medicine. It helped so much!
Pumpkin seed oil with saw palmetto is very very good for hair growth 😍👍🏼
Could you or someone please explain how to learn that variation you show at 4:05 ? Thanks in advance !!
It's a hard one to explain, I was putting my fingers like you see at 1:54 and very slowly focusing on pushing only the middle of my stomach out and keeping the sides sucked in. I have another video where I did 30 days on my own and when I was trying to learn that move only half my stomach was responding, so it's a bit trial and error ua-cam.com/video/mOob2lR83FY/v-deo.htmlfeature=shared&t=87
Great Video.
Everyone here in comments saying use it topically are not reading the studies. The studies were oral. This blocks DHT. Then to help things further, add minoxidil, Tretinoin and micro-needling to increase cellular turnover topically. Rosemary oil has been debunked so many times by chemists. See Lab Muffin Beauty Science for clear breakdown of how those studies should be interpreted.
I use this oil which is made out of Cloves for Hair growth which are very intense and stimulate the scalp , Rosemary leaves for hairfall , Fenugreek seed, Black Seed or Nigella sativa for shine in hair cook all of them in a mustard oil and use it on head for overnight. Second use Ogx thick and full biotin and collagen shampoo , Third eat saw palmetto 350 mg daily, fourth do head stand daily and Fifth massage head daily.
That's a thorough protocol! Is it just called "clove oil" or is there a specific name? It sounds like the same mechanism as peppermint oil, which is to boost blood flow at the scalp. How long have you been following this protocol (or variations of it) and have you seen results?
And what if no carbs, just protein and fat ?
High protein has the potential to raise blood glucose, but moderate protein and moderate/high fat should have basically no effect
I saw a tattoo artist that wanted to experiment with the longer time between sessions. He removed someone’s tattoo in only 4 sessions (it looked a similar dark and thick black tattoo like in this video). The minimum time between sessions was 9 months. Other times were 1 year between sessions. I think if you’re someone that wants to remove your tattoo fully, and the time it takes isn’t much of a concern. You should consider waiting 1 years between sessions, it will make it much more affordable too. Paying only one session a year is around $800 I believe. It’s much better than paying $800 every 6 weeks.
When i was going to the college, I’m too poor to afford the bus ticket ($7 round trip) so I walk like 2 hours a day just for grocery, some time a can (or 2 cans) of milk (2 gallons/can) on my back bag. This is the only time on my life when I got 6 packs 😂 didn’t know we call it “rucking”

hey man! your videos are incredibly informative, I've been following your journey for a while and seen your recent updates regarding rosemary oil and castor oil daily topical, I was wondering why do you think you're seeing results now when you haven't seen any before from using rosemary oil in a few different experiments. do you think it's because you're doing it daily this time? or do you think the castor oil is the big difference? im running a similar experiment with pumpkin seed oil + rosemary oil, I might add in castor oil as an extra carrier if you think the evidence is there to support it!
Hey, I've also been microneedling every 10 days which I think is helping. For the rosemary & castor oil my theory is that it's the prolonged exposure time of applying it overnight that's the differentiator (I wash my hair every 2-3 days so technically it's still on my scalp during some day times). Previously I was following the guidelines to wash the topical solution out after 20-30 minutes, which now seems like an odd recommendation if you want to maximise absorption. If PSO and rosemary oil are your "active" ingredients then you could add in castor oil as the "base" oil, I've found it to be more pleasant than either coconut oil or grapeseed oil, which are two other common suggestions.
I got my removed with 5 sessions
Did you try mixing finastride powder in minoxidole solution for making topicla finastride minoxidole solution??
No, I was supposed to be staying clear of both because of the lifetime cost of being on it, but by microdosing Fin on the scalp it was coming out far cheaper
@@9to5strength you can also do micro dosing with minoxidole The only difference is you also benefit from minoxidole which make noticable changes compared to other treatments I'm using homemade fin-minoxidle solution for three months my hairs look fuller but my hairloss doesn't seem to slow down
The silver thread oxidizes and loses conductivity quickly from body oils and detergents. Carbon products are much more durable.
The earth is charged negative. As you move up from the earth the charge is increasingly positive. So if you are not grounded to the earth you are losing electrons via respiration. Touching a door knob will not ground you because *it* is positively charged too. The only way to hold a negative charge in the body is to be in contact with the earth, whether barefoot, or conductive devices wired to the grounding rod of the building.
Another great benefit of walking with a ruck or weighted vest is the increased stimulus for bone density signaling.
Thanks for providing a bit more info on resting heart rate. I'm trying to figure out whether I'm in decent shape or if it's just my thyroid making my HR low 🤣
Bro, I haven't watched all of your videos, but let me give you some truth... You need to throw everything that you've tried in the trash and simply get yourself on 1-1.25 mg of ORAL finasteride and 2.25 mg of ORAL minoxidil. You can thank me later... You're literally spending your whole life trying things that don't work and avoiding the only two things that do work. Oral minoxidil and oral finasteride.. Wow...
I've been applying Tretinoin with Minoxidil to my receding temples.
Interesting, not heard of Tretinoin before, I see there's some research with the Trtinoin & Minox combination being efefctive. How long have you been applying it and have you seen any difference?
@@9to5strength I've been applying it for about three weeks and I'm not sure if I see a huge difference. I think the Tretinoin just speeds up the hair growth cycle.
new to rucking but been walking since i was about 18 months old. i did a 20km walk with 20kgs weight about 2 weeks ago in 3hour 37minutes. . was tough but a fun personal challenge. i weigh 78kgs. i typically limit to about 16kgs as thats more comfortable.. (8 on my back and 2 x 4kg dumbells)
Did you carry dumbbells for 20km as part of the 20kg load? I like the idea of a more evenly distributed load, but not having to grip something the whole time
@@9to5strength yes 2 dumbells at 4kg each and the rest was on the vest area. i like the dumbells cause i dont like going to the gym so my arms can get some workout..
My guy, you live in London. Are you sure it’s not a vitamin D deficiency? You mentioned you were suffering from back aches, that could mean you just need more vitamin D.
35kg is half your bodyweight?!!! 😮 What are you, part mouse? 🐁
nothing new
I had my tattoos lasered off back in the late 80s. After about 10 laser treatments, I decided I was happy with the results. There is still some ink, but they look like bruises. Most people can't tell they were tattoos.
It looks like your tattoo is basically gone! Would you be interested in doing another tattoo removal video now that it’s all gone to discuss how the last sessions went?
Yeh it's practically gone now! I uploaded a session 10-12 video and 12 was my final one. It did continue to fade for another 6-9 months and I put a final picture up in my article 9to5strength.com/laser-tattoo-removal-before-and-after/
What a perfect cideo, straight to the point, very logical and well made
Didn’t do shit
I've been rucking seriously for 4 years. I'm 43. I'm not going to dismantle the video point by point, I'll just say this: Prior to making this video, this guy said flat out that he hadn't even heard of rucking. Take everything said here with a grain of salt. Experiment and come to your own conclusions based off of multiple months of work. Don't just take this as gospel and write off rucking. Best form of exercise I've done in my life.
What's your journey 2024?
Topical Finasteride (failed, maybe too low a strength), currently doing Rosemary Oil and Castor Oil overnight with derma-pen / roller every 10 days. I'm 20 weeks in and my progress pictures look good 9to5strength.com/hair-growth-self-experiments/
I'm 67 a carnivore I snowboard and ride a dirt bike...I dont think I could feel better no matter what I did so thats that. As far as grounding I had my doubts for sure...If you have issues become a carnivore and see what it feels like to be healthy...Vegan route will kill you.
2:15 You are showing two graphs that clearly shows that the changed happened before you started with the breather ?????
Yeh I noticed that too, I didn't want to fudge the data so kept it in but I made no lifestyle changes in those days so I just put it down to the random variations you sometimes see in HRV/RHR. I think the fact it remains elevated is testament to the breathing protocol, compared to equivalent spikes in March that year that went away again.
Great job! Courage and fortitude. Appreciate doing a ton of work that everyone benefits from! SCUBE 3???
Pictures dont take visceral fat or legs fat into account. So they are not reliable at all.
Bro some guy in utube used coffe and derma, tried pls
I'll have a think about coffee, it's come up loads, currently using Rosemary Oil with Castor Oil overnight and it's potentially regrowing hair, a little too soon to say
To old for that sort of silliness, but when I was younger I could ski with around +60KG plus a rifle, both up and down hill. Up hill was not so bad but down hill would be some what difficult, my advice would be to leave the pack at home unless your engaged in military service and realise your don't need to run more than a few mile and walking is easy. Go to the gym lift some weights with some short runs if need be, need to lose some weight just eat less.
Really appreciate you doing all this research for us. It helps us!
😂😂😂 I feel sorry for anyone who buys into this nonsense. Just buy an electricians multimeter and look at the difference between a regular bed sheet and being “grounded” ITS NOTHING 😂 u really think you’re building up static charge all night. Maybe if your regular bed sheets are made of rubber
I've never bought any of the grounding products but i used multimeter and found a massive amount when in bed. Turns out the off label phone charger was dirty electric. Probably plenty of people with same issue. It's at least worth removing them.
The earth is negatively charged. Our bodies require this negative charge to work properly.
I can promise you they do. My dad actually has a lumbar back issue which he’s had since he was a teenager. He’s never had relief despite using strong medication, a tens machine, cbd oil, exploratory surgery, injections .. everything you can think of. So out of desperation we got him a grounding bed Sheet and his pain is now 90% better. He can bend down and do daily activities which he has been unable too for decades now. He was housebound. Also he was in blood thinners which he’s now massively reduced as grounding helps to thin the blood. There’s plenty of evidence especially for the blood and pain aspect. He can sleep through the night now so I can promise you they do work and they work well. I wouldn’t knock it until you’ve tried it
I have a volt meter and it's easy to test the difference, not on the Grounding sheet it's around 1, then sitting on the grounded bed using the same process you get a reading of .1 to 0, ypu just don't know how to test it sounds like.
He has H.I.V Hair Is Vanishing Syndrome
I was also really scared from finasteride. But when I take it, my libido is at the highest level that ever was. My erection is harder. It is caused by higher testosterone due to lower conversion of testosterone to DHT. What am I trying and what is my regime? Oral and topical finasteride. Oral and topical minoxidil. Microneedling at least every week. Ketokonazol shampoo every week. Eating pumpkin seed oil. Scalp massages.
*My advice*:- Bro, do 10-15min scalp massage with bhringraj oil + vitamin e capsules (in morning till evening) and castor oil (overnight).... I have also got drastic improvement in my hair regrowth (yeah, regrowth)... I will also upload my before and after hairs to prove my point.... .... But, remember a point:- do this on short hair or bald head, because it will easier to scalp massage.... {2008 indian research on bhringraj oil vs minoxidil, u will amaze to know that bhringraj oil outperformed in hair regrowth}.... Even in our ancient tradition, we called bhringraj oil - king of all hairs; Taking about my hair problem- it is seborrheic dermatitis + shredding hair line from front and back...
Hey I know this routine ! I follow it too and well…firstly that form is horrid. Secondly it must be done for at least an hour a day and thirdly nothing can be skipped ….so…
