Wait, in your original post you are saying 3 reps, and 3 rep max, and now you are using reps in reserve (RIR) which is different

Here’s the problem, for this to happen, we would first have to reorganize the economy/politics/society. Everything has turned to total shit because we live in a global capitalist plutocracy. Nothing is gonna get much better under that

It’s not deeply insightful imo beyond telling you what you’re doing now compared to what you’ve done before. Are you doing more than before? If so, good, that’s supposed to happen. If not, why?

And also it will tell you that there are some people who are stronger than you (at least in that lift) and some people you are stronger than (at least in that lift). Which is always the case.

Question for you: I rarely see or hear about people doing 3 rep max or 1 rep max with dumbells, usually that is a barbell thing? Why aren’t you doing more like the 6-12 rep range?

Also, there’s a good reason it is not recommended to do heavy compound lifts every day, like you said you’ve been doing. Has that worked well for you? You will probably advance more quickly by lifting less frequently! Rest/recovery is just as important as the lift, as it’s where the muscle actually grows and gets stronger.

This one was so disappointing :(

This describes like all the batman villains

ikr? America is a land where desperate people fight each other for the entertainment of elites and speculators

Has anyone said this yet? Every U.S. city

won’t someone think of the rules?!

AI bots are doing what the advertising industry has honed into a science, manipulating people in a sneaky as fuck way in order to farm money from them infinitely

Right, as if things haven’t already been fucked up entirely in the default of capitalist ownership

I would suggest to continue experimenting with dips, especially with a more straight up posture which targets more triceps vs a leaning forward posture which targets more chest.

You can progressive overload forever by adding weight = weighted dips.

As a bonus, they are a great all-around upper body compound exercise.

I see Alexa is on the LG TV, and there’s a way to turn it off in settings, but is it actually truly off when you do this (do u know)? lmao

was literally about to buy a Roku TV. not anymore

anyone have suggestions for a decent new TV that isn’t so invasive?

“Put Rome on economic time out until it behaves”

Or accelerate it apart

“Do you want to be an infinitely productive profit maker for the company at your own expense?”

One of the big ones: motivation.

Most people when talking/thinking about “motivation” are referring to extrinsic motivation.

Even if they make a distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic, they basically assume these add together to create “more” motivation.

However, they don’t sum together. One crowds out the other, like in a neverending battle.

Hasn’t combat sports kinda always been this kind of thing? Brutes beating each other up for a chance at their “freedom,” for everyone else’s entertainment? That’s what it was bound to be in a capitalist society anyways.

Speaking as a martial artist myself who sees the “interesting” side of fighting.
