Whenever I encounter this, I immediately just order the same thing on Amazon and leave.

All four of my kids will do the Juco —> 4yr pathway if athletics don’t cover 70%.

Helps that we have a great juco nearby.

re: Deadlifting with Barbell vs Hex Bar

Is it a Trap Bar?

I switched over entirely at 43 after buying one for my kids. Mine is “open” vs hex style.

Things I love:
-Over the years, I’ve caught my balls a few times with conventional deads, and I love that this is no longer possible.
-The neutral grip is just better
-If I completely drop the bar, no chance of injury.

Watch Outs:
-You can easily turn it into a hack squat if you don’t manage your hip angle.
-If your form changes enough to neglect the posterior, add in RDLs to offset

Friday Only Amazon

My family was ordering way too much stuff on Amazon that we allegedly “needed” so I mandated we only order on Fridays. If you still think it’s needed on Friday, then go ahead.

re: If I'm happy with the size I am and just want to tone up, I need to add weight. Right?

Amazing results, really. People who’ve never lost that kind of weight have no idea how dedicated you’ve been.

You’re spot on about how quickly it’ll come back, I’d add the calories even slower, just 100 per week for several weeks. Once you’re between 1800-1950 ride that for a long while, especially if weighing and measuring isn’t driving you crazy.

You definitely need to keep shedding fat.

Lift, walk, and eat protein and don’t worry about gaining muscle until you’re sub 15% BF.

I’d add 100 calories per week for a month and then ride that for a while. Up protein to 160g+.

Once you are at 1700 calories or so, I bet you’ll see a spike in fat loss for a few weeks and you’ll feel much better.

May will probably be seriously thick with ticks, though it will also be electric green and water will be gorgeous. If you wait until late June, you’ll probably have much better tick conditions.

I drop in small plants I start myself, then weedeat around them while they start taking over. Stuff like clover will take fine just broadcasting.

On this general topic, my constant dilemma is converting vs ticks. Let the yard convert and it’s natural and gorgeous, less maintenance for me as I get older. But, the ticks will take off.

So many issues with this, basically skipping Socialism and going straight to Communism.

When govt decides what constitutes “high income” it raises up the current poor and hurts everyone else. Since we’d all need to take a blue collar job to handle what AI can’t, how is that progress?

Labor is only a portion of cost, AI can’t solve the raw material dynamic in entirety.

I’ve always kept them as an occasional meal replacement. My understanding is that you need to be careful about heavy metal accumulation if having very often.

Just recently, it was argued on here if this was even a “war.” Now we are justifying total war.

What’s the end goal? Have we defined what victory looks like? Goal posts keep moving from disarm, to enabling the populace to take over, to whatever the current goal is.

Once we destroy civilian infrastructure, Failed State and terrorist breeding ground becomes inevitable.

I’m personally ok with the full spectrum of war, but only when it comes with line of sight to goals and consequences.
