In the previous post I gave a rough overview about the control plane of a kubernetes cluster, as well as some explanation on how to think about it.
Why a post about this? Can't I just create a loadbalancer Service and everything works? Or just create an ingress with the …
moreIn this series of posts I want to give a small introduction into Kubernetes. I am fairly new to Kubernetes and the first platform I designed just went into production and I found most of the introductory literature not so helpful in this process. My memory is still fresh on …
moreWhen it comes to software I usually hate pretty much everything and I was born the proverbial grumpy old man yelling "get off my lawn". Especially in times where people have succumbed to atrocities like the initsystem that is everything, but a functioning initsystem, the sound management software that breaks …
moreThis is a topic which somehow still confuses people and there is a lot of seemingly contradicting advice. The main problem is that bodyweight fluctuates daily, but the best solution people came up with is doing weekly averages or, worse, only to step on the scale once a week. I …
moreMost people somewhat involved in strength sports are familiar with the term periodiziation [1]. To cite the first sentence of Wikipedia on it, it is the systematic planning of athletic and physical training, but for the rest of the article, I assume that the reader is somewhat familiar with the …
moreAs most trainees know there are different ways on how to prescribe or measure the weight on a bar. This is a small glossary of terms one encounters frequently, as it probably be also can be found elsewhere on the web, but well, now I have a link handy.

His programs often deem very complex, featuring his characteristic double sessions, where you perform a main lift twice in a …
moreOver the past two years the Juggernaut Method by Chad Wesley Smith has become the general strength training template of my choice. While Chad's book already has several pointers on how to modify the template to make it your own program, as well as exhaustive options for assistance work, I …
moreHere is a quick FAQ about creatine. Few things create so much confusion as creatine – not because there is so much conflicting information, but mainly because it is something almost anyone at some point comes into contact with it and wonders what it is about, whether you are into sports …
moreMost of the ways people teach the Olympic lifts to lifters seem to be tailored to weak people, who are in the beginning of their lifting career, or really athletic people, who can already move challenging weights during the whole range of motion. I guess in the past this was …
moreIt is popular to start strength training with some sort of linear program, like the aptly named Starting Strength program by Mark Rippetoe</a>` and in general, this is a good idea, as it produces consistent results across all age groups and genders. When these programs stop working, many people …
moreAfter almost ten years I finally decided to upgrade my system. While my old AMD 5050e is still fast enough for most applications one needs in real life, it is too slow to display an image on some crappy javascript webpage.
As currently all AMD graphics cards are out of …
moreThe best tools are often those, which capabilities we will never quite exhaust. As it took years for me to discover the excellent tabbing capabilities of vim, I only found some of the nicer features of portage after years of use and sometimes struggle.

After my last run of sheiko I decided to try another succession of #37 and #31. While in theory the numbered programs are to be seen as peaking cycle, I know several people who ran #37 and #31 (or #30, for the lighter lifters) back to back with great success …
