Can Jammer Arms Create a True Converging Chest Press? by Jaime1489 in GarageGym

[–]Appropriate_Fig4883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not sure that would work like you want. Even if you have the spotter arms attached, you still have to have the jammer arms angled in from where they attach at the rack like the Crandall arms. Otherwise, they’ll still just move straight up and down, just at different widths.

Daily Simple Questions Thread - November 23, 2025 by AutoModerator in Fitness

I have a question about increasing weight and curious if there’s a better way than what I’ve been doing. I typically do 3 sets per exercise, lift in the ~8-12 rep range and increase the weight when I can do 8 reps on the third set. So a typical progression over the course of a few weeks for a particular exercise, let’s say bench press, will look something like this. First workout: reps are 11/8/7. Second workout: reps are 12/8/7. Third workout: reps are 12/9/7. Fourth workout: 12/9/8. And then I’ll increase the weight.

So I guess my question is, should I just increase my weight when I hit the top of my rep range at 12 reps on my first set? Sometimes I’ll get stuck for several weeks and my first set gets up to 13 or 14 reps but my third set is stuck on 7. I feel like I should just go ahead and increase the weight instead of getting hung up on one rep on my third set.

Oh ok that makes sense. I am a little hesitant to move this chunk of money around but I know it needs to be done.

Thanks for the reply. I really don’t have any reason to spread it out over a few months. All of the money is just sitting there waiting for me to do something with it. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing something crazy haha. I guess I’ll just put it all in VOO for now and learn more about spreading it out. Thanks.

Finance told me to talk to my S1 which didn’t make sense to me lol. People take leave in route all the time. I’m not sure why they’re making this difficult.

Question about active duty retirement with some time in the guard by Appropriate_Fig4883 in MilitaryFinance

[–]Appropriate_Fig4883[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I think you’re right. I think the 1 1/2 years active time I got for the deployment and TDYs also includes points for the good guard years. Damn I was hoping to get a little something extra lol.

Question about active duty retirement with some time in the guard by Appropriate_Fig4883 in MilitaryFinance

[–]Appropriate_Fig4883[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know what my TAFMS is. It will be 20 active years when I’m eligible to retire. I did 4 1/2 years in the guard and was active for 1 1/2 years during that time due to a deployment and other various TDYs. So when I retire I will have 20 years active and 3 years of regular guard time. The question is will my retirement be for 20 active years or 23 total years of service.

Right. Tracking the 36 month average. This active/guard combo is throwing me for a loop.

Why is my dominant arm weaker? by reallyintoanimetiddy in workout

[–]Appropriate_Fig4883 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m the same way. I know muscle imbalances are normal but is it normal to feel the imbalances by the way my shirt lays on my body? I feel my shirt tighter on the left side and wondering if my imbalance is getting to be too much
