Poor knights & a drowned camera

Posted on by Diana Fürsicht

So we got up the next day knowing we had to drive a bit. But before we got us some breakfast at a bakery and wanted to do the laundry. But there was none of the laundry chain we used to go near by so we got on our way to Auckland. It took us about 2.5 hours to get there. We had to go further north and as there is a toll road, which we always try to avoid, we had to drive through a town called Waiwera, which was very busy at the time we got there. So it took us some more time to get up to the dive center. But the view on the ocean was amazing as we just took the ocean road, at least I call it like this 😉

As we finally made our way up to Tutukaka, strange name I know, we got to the dive center and went out of it after 3 minutes. The woman at the reception just put us off. After this I really asked myself why they mention in their emails that we could just stop and say hello if you arrive a day before. We really thought about quitting but we decided to get something to eat first. In this area are not really a lot of self-contained campsites so we took one of the few overnight parking lots and grilled some veggies and burger patties.

The next day we went back to the dive center and we were not surprised to see the same woman at the reception again at Dive! Tutukaka. So again we had a rough start as she was very unfriendly and even asked me if I not want me to get a coffee next door… of course and I will also get one for you too… not! We gave it a chance and luckily the others were in a much better mood. We got on the boat, dressed and got a brief. And on our way to the divespot we were surprised by a school of dolphins.

As we got in the water my camera drove me nuts. This damn thing just didn’t work anymore although it just did 1 hour ago on the surface… perfect. So unfortunately I can’t show you any pictures of the dives, I can just tell you what we saw: lots and lots of sting rays, nudis, scorpion fish, corals and some more beautiful colorful fish 🐠

The Poor Knights are a group of islands about 25 km away from the east coast from the north peninsula of NZ. They told us, that it’s not allowed to take a step on this island for the public because the Maori cursed it after the tribe, who lived there got killed in a very brutal way. But the prohibition helps to stabilize the natural flora and fauna there and also the Tuataras to reproduce.

During our break we drove into a little cave. The biggest cave of that type in volume. Please don’t ask me what it was called again, I just forgot. 😅

After our second dive we just had a little chat with our guide and the others of the group. Luckily one of them carried a big professional camera and told me I can get the pictures afterwards, jippie 🙌

As we got back we decided to look out for a shower as we wanted to get rid of the salt on our skin. So we drove to some pool facilities in Whangarei and got our first hot shower for almost 3 weeks and just paid 3$ pp. We got a hint, that it’s allowed to camp behind the facilities and did so. It was pretty calm, our dive equipment could dry a bit and we switched on the grill again. We talked about the day and thought what the best solution would be to get a new underwater camera, as the lens of mine was really done by then.

Keep yourself updated about a day full broken stuff and hope to find an answer for real good uw-pics in Fiji.

    Многие полагают, что казино – это место, где можно просто развлечься, но для меня это оказалось возможностью выиграть крупные выигрыши. Конечно, я не буду говорить, что это легко, но при грамотном плане можно достичь результата. Когда я в первый раз пробовал, меня захватывали машины для игры – световые эффекты, шумы и перспектива в любой момент сорвать большой куш. Но спустя время я уяснил, что секрет выигрыша – это не только везение, но и выбор правильных стратегий.

    Otherwise, Wednesday or Thursday are basic days for shoulders, perhaps with
    some traps thrown in afterward. If you’re after bigger and stronger shoulders, physiologist Dr.
    Mike Israetel has five exercises in mind that will assist you reach that objective.

    On March 10, 2025, he took to his YouTube channel to interrupt down these movements,
    backed up by science-based reasoning. [newline]Together,
    these heads of the deltoid are answerable for the arm’s movement in a number of
    instructions, enjoying a key role in pushing and pulling actions.
    Focus on rowing your higher arms straight out to the sides,
    and squeezing your shoulder blades again and collectively in the prime of
    the movement. With the entrance and side delts taken care
    of, it’s time to turn our attention to the rear delts.
    Whereas the Cuban press is often accomplished using a barbell or dumbbells,
    it can be done utilizing a low cable machine and a revolving bar.

    If you wish to construct broad, muscular shoulders, consider this train from famous bodybuilder
    Arnold Schwarzenegger. His take on the dumbbell overhead press engages all three sections of your
    deltoids.
    Though jumping over to free weights will show to
    be a problem in your coordination initially, they’re better for muscle-building in the
    long term. As a health and fitness coach, balancing a busy schedule and my commitment to widening my shoulders was
    a problem. Yet, hitting the gym thrice every week grew to
    become a non-negotiable a half of my routine.
    One Other profit is the flexibility to target
    your delts from all angles.
    Since your shoulders may be delicate, remember that
    your finest strategy will not be dedicating an entire day’s
    price of coaching to nothing however shoulder workout
    routines. You can even back off on the weight for many of those exercises, particularly
    whenever you’re performing elevating actions.
    In an effort to move as a lot weight as potential, you’ll be using much more than simply your shoulder muscle tissue.
    Here you are not just working your deltoids but also the upper arm (triceps), chest, core and even legs.

    Cable shoulder workouts are a nice way to make your shoulder muscles stronger.
    Not Like free weights, cable machines make the most of an adjustable weight
    stack for resistance. A cable runs via a sequence of pulleys and attaches to handles,
    bars, or ropes that you just grasp to carry out varied workouts.

    This train prevents muscular imbalance and builds total shoulder energy.
    In reality, one of the best shoulder exercises
    implement dumbbells into a weekly routine
    specifically because they add fascinating shoulder mass.

    Be cautious with the load selection the primary time you attempt this workout.

    Keep In Mind that tri-sets restrict your rest intervals to
    subject your muscles to amassed fatigue, which can harm extra tissue to elicit extra growth.

    If you need to look like an athlete, you’ve received to coach like an athlete.
    We can’t overlook the value of those foundational exercises that
    we’re capable of overload essentially the most.

    Hashimashi.com’s content material is for informational and educational functions solely.
    All you do is clip the grips to your bar to
    increase its diameter and make it tougher to hold. Utilizing an adjustable weight
    bench means you’ll find a way to customize the back assist angle to match your wants and preferences.
    Sit down and grab the handles together with your most popular grip – extensive, narrow,
    or palms turned in.
    One of the largest misconceptions concerning
    the bench press is that it’s an awesome train for the
    chest muscle tissue. While it does train the chest (and well!), you’ll discover
    that virtually all guys with a robust bench even have huge triceps.

    After you end your spider curls, flip over on the bench and perform some incline dumbbell curls.

    This is very true if you want to construct power in your shoulders or create more definition. Use a dumbbell entrance
    raise during any upper body workout, and choose a weight you
    probably can lift whereas sustaining correct kind. Use lighter weights than you
    normally would for these actions given how many reps you’ll be doing.
    Start at 5 reps of each transfer, and maintain including one to each set till you can lift no more.

    Cable exterior shoulder rotations are the antidote to all that medial rotation. They may additionally assist
    forestall or alleviate the shoulder pain caused by rotator cuff imbalances.
    Doing them with a cable quite than dumbbells means your deltoids
    are under virtually constant tension. It’s also harder to cheat with this train than it’s when using free-weights.
    All in all, this is a very efficient anterior deltoid train.
    When we consider targeting the shoulders we sometimes consider exercises like
    dumbbell raises, overhead presses, and reverse flies.
    The dumbbell upright row works the medial deltoids and higher traps equally.

    Focus on drilling the movement mechanics before
    lifting heavier weights. Most picks for this record of the most effective biceps workout routines require
    some form of gear, be it a barbell, a set of dumbbells, or even costly
    machines. However, if you prepare at home and don’t
    have the house or the money for such contraptions, you’ll be able to still do several
    wonderful arm exercises, just like the chin-up and
    the body weight curl. The front raise could be performed utilizing any type of free weight, such as
    weight plate, or a resistance band, but your finest weapon is a pair of dumbbells.

    It loads the exact movement the facet delts are answerable for,
    backed by the analysis showing lateral raises eliciting probably the most significant activation of the
    side delts [1]. The aspect delts are responsible for shoulder
    abduction, which is the arm raised to the body’s facet [1].

    Hold in mind – this one does have a really short range of movement.

    All these muscle tissue are located on this area together, so they prefer to work together.
    For the Cheat Lateral we are going to load up our weight
    higher than what we would usually use for a lateral elevate.
    We’re not really looking to activate the center delt on this exercise.
    The classic theory of “Front, Center and Rear” delt
    exercises is a good start for a shoulder exercise.
    Compound movements like push-ups and chin-ups are a good way to
    include a number of muscle teams within the upper physique, difficult it as a system.
    The seated neutral-grip overhead dumbbell press is a unbelievable train for constructing strength and definition in your shoulders, particularly your anterior deltoids and
    lateral deltoids. What sets the Seated Rear Dumbbell Lateral Increase apart is its capacity to isolate the rear deltoids.
    By performing this exercise seated, you get rid of a lot of the physique momentum that may detract from pure muscle work.

    The susceptible weighted neck extension is
    an efficient strengthening exercise for posterior neck muscular tissues and is easy to do.
    So we’ve given you eleven exercises that can significantly help with trapezius growth.

    However why would you choose these over a tried and true exercise
    like barbell shrugs?
    In athletes, it normally comes within the form of overuse
    injuries or improper mechanics. The point is that to have the ability to perform day by day and
    lifting tasks optimally, your arm needs 
    a steady base. So, right here is the whole Perfect Shoulder Exercise step-by-step, all units, all reps
    so that you can comply with.
    Your trapezius is the triangle-shaped muscle that runs down alongside your spine and across
    your shoulder blade. You have each a proper and left trapezius; these muscles assist your arms and
    shoulders and are wanted to boost your arms.
    This train isolates the rear delts, essential for balanced shoulder improvement.
    You simply have to comply with the essential underlying rules that contribute to muscle growth and
    carry out workout routines that target the best space. Earlier Than we get into all of the shoulder
    workouts, let’s take a quick have a look at the
    anatomy of your shoulders. As A Outcome Of understanding how they operate will let you prepare them far more effectively and
    actually make big positive aspects in that area. If you’re actually making an attempt to convey up
    your shoulders, do it very first thing every week on Monday whilst you’re fresh from a
    day off.
    As with the other shoulder workout routines, start off with a light-weight weight, as you’ll slowly but absolutely really feel increasingly fatigued as you’re employed your way via the
    repetitions. The dumbbell shoulder press
    primarily works the front deltoids. By using dumbbells, you drive both sides
    of the muscle to work independently while additionally
    recruiting the stabilizer muscle tissue of the shoulder
    joint. Building robust, well-defined shoulders is key to achieving the long-lasting Alpha male physique.
    Broad shoulders provide the width that enhances the hanging V-shaped higher physique.
    With all three deltoid muscle heads totally developed, you’ll seem powerful
    and broad, whether you’re rocking a t-shirt or dressed up in a swimsuit.

    As A Substitute, you wish to elevate your
    arms keeping them straight with palms going through the floor, and lift them out to
    the side by initiating the contraction from the deltoids.

    Have Interaction your core to assist keep your decrease ribs
    down and decrease again urgent into the wall.
    Rest for 15 to 30 seconds and repeat for a total of two sets and 10 breaths.
    This stack is designed for knowledgeable powerlifters who’ve accomplished no less than three cycles and possess a stable understanding of proper coaching, hormone biking, and vitamin. The Mandro
    The Enormous Gold Stack is a bulking supplement stack designed to assist users overcome muscle-building plateaus.

    The landmine lateral raise targets your medial deltoid
    but takes your arm via a barely unusual movement to work this muscle in an all-new way.
    If you’re bored of dumbbell and cable lateral raises, you’ll
    undoubtedly get pleasure from this train. Take
    your current shoulder workout and unfold the movements our
    across the week, beginning each of your health club classes with a
    concentrate on hitting that movement as hard as attainable.

    You will probably discover individuals in the gym add a twisting motion on the high of the
    carry. That small twist takes the tension off the deltoids and shifts to
    the lats and upper back. If you wish to keep the focus on the shoulders, make positive to do that
    train with perfect, managed type.
    As such, it’s strongly involved in overhead presses and front raises.

    It could be a mistake to make use of the identical
    rep vary and loading parameters for all the
    workout routines in your shoulder exercises, e.g., sets of 8-12.
    This would entail hitting the same motor units and muscle fibers repeatedly, which isn’t usually the simplest
    method to reach your training objectives. The rear deltoids
    are involved in all shoulder workouts, but their function is often minimal.
    For this cause, it pays to coach them on their very own, i.e., in isolation. The dumbbell rear
    delt fly is a simple and convenient way to do that.
    The finest shoulder workout routines outlined in this article additionally target the rotator cuff, improve core
    stability and contribute towards greater total physical
    fitness. Think About using the massive compound moves
    which herald shoulder muscular tissues on full-body exercise periods or focusing on shoulders on specific
    days dedicated to this region of your body.
    Building upper body muscle mass and stability is an efficient total
    ambition to have when working out, and the shoulder press contributes to this growth.
