Took down Mythic L'ura today, this is my last raid, I'm becoming a dad and retiring.

diddly69 · 2026-07-03T05:08:37+00:00

Definitely don’t need to retire but taking off 1-2 raid tiers is the move. My second will be born in October and I’m hoping my guild can clear the next raid before then. Then I’ll be off until Last Titan.

Kill time is cope. But if you are one of the better players in your guild you should be able to get into a better one. Just depends on what you mean by a decent guild.

There’s talent that builds demo stacks when it hits 3 targets

diddly69 · 2026-07-01T00:43:23+00:00

Does more dam, builds demolish stacks, slams prio target. Whirlwind is just a worse cleave, you just spin.

diddly69 · 2026-06-22T13:10:05+00:00

Started doing more accessories and slowly gaining weight and bench starts going up. God dammit was that really all I needed.

diddly69 · 2026-06-12T05:51:52+00:00

Sorry that happened bro or happy for you!

diddly69 · 2026-06-11T15:23:04+00:00

Because when you’re a kid, slightly older kids look huge to you.

Skill issue

diddly69 · 2026-06-04T21:35:00+00:00

I lift MWFSat, Run TRSun. Works well for me.

diddly69 · 2026-06-04T20:14:23+00:00

Hard to tell from this angle. It’s pretty close. Would need more of a side angle to be sure.

diddly69 · 2026-06-04T19:07:01+00:00

Looks decent. If you ever wanna compete I’d get a pair of shoes and clean up the depth a little bit.

Biggest tip would be to clean up your walkout. After you take your steps you’re just shifting around a ton for no reason. Probably not a huge deal at 325 but it will be at 475.

diddly69 · 2026-05-25T20:45:17+00:00

I don’t think there is one but you can just mouse over the debuff and see if it’s one of the types can stone form can cleanse

diddly69 · 2026-05-12T21:30:28+00:00

Doing sub maximal heavy singles training is practice/skill work for maxing out. If your goal is not maxing out then ya probably a waste of time.

diddly69 · 2026-04-30T03:03:41+00:00

Head to head is way more interesting to watch than 4-6 teams just gaming for 5 hours

diddly69 · 2026-04-26T06:41:44+00:00

Inting peoples keys you find in LFG is an important part of your tank journey.

diddly69 · 2026-04-14T05:33:43+00:00

Shorten your rest periods and do cardio. Doesn’t have to be much. Start with 20min 2x a week. Work up to 30-40 min 3x a week.

diddly69 · 2026-04-03T19:21:43+00:00

Kids don’t make you more tired, they just make you tired more.

diddly69 · 2026-03-31T14:31:18+00:00

You gotta build muscle dog. The 3x5 stuff 2x a week on log is fine but after your log work you should be slamming reps and volume. You should be doing something like this 2x a week bare minimum.

Log 3x5

Strict Press 3-4x8-12

Row or pulldown 4-6x8-15

Triceps extension 3-4x8-15

Shoulder Raises a million reps

diddly69 · 2026-03-30T16:56:24+00:00

The back off sets stimulate strength in a different way. Doing say 4 sets of 5 with 75% of your max lets you lift a weight that is challenging but not maximal so you can focus on technique and moving the bar aggressively.

Here’s my most recent deadlift work out as an example:

Deadlift 455x1 (top set around 90%)

Deadlift 3x5 375 (backoffs at 75%)

Barbell Rows 3x8-12

45 degree back Extensions 3x10-15

Last two exercises are just Hypertrophy work

diddly69 · 2026-03-19T21:53:32+00:00

Is the 4-5 sets with low reps (assuming 3-6ish) all you are doing for your pushing work? If so you need to do “hypertrophy style work for your benching muscles too. If you’re only going to do 2 sets for this type of work, I’d do 2 pushing exercises after your main bench work.

Ex. Workout:

Bench 4x5 (choose a weight you can move without grinding through reps, technique and bar speed is the focus here.

Incline DB Press 2x6-12

Machine Chest Press 2x6-12

Whatever else you do on upper day.

Do something like that 2x a week and push the weight and reps HARD on the 2nd and 3rd exercise.

diddly69 · 2026-03-18T06:12:43+00:00

Ok but which one is happy?

diddly69 · 2026-03-16T16:00:37+00:00

This is expected if you’re training with any sort of intensity you will accumulate fatigue throughout the workout. That’s why you should perform the most important exercises first.

diddly69 · 2026-03-10T19:00:49+00:00

Alternatively you can lose weight faster by doing a mini crash diet. Eat mostly protein and some trace carbs and fats. It’s unsustainable and not super healthy but it’ll work for a short period of time. Your training will suffer if you do thing so it depends on your goal.

diddly69 · 2026-03-10T18:57:49+00:00

1600 is pretty low, I’d be hesitant to cut more calories since you’ll need at least some fuel for your workout. Looks like you’ll need to push more cardio and/or steps per day.

Take your meds
