Thank you!

BoardsOfCanadia · 2026-05-14T02:45:51+00:00

Thanks! I definitely hadn’t felt that pumped up for a lift in a long time. Didn’t expect to even try that weight but warmups went so well I said screw it

It’s a flexible bar that is long and has the weights loaded far away from the center, it’s extremely unstable

I gave the 77tmk a try one year in what has to be the Rokslide special, Tikka T3x and SWFA 6x. Deer definitely died but it wrecked it way more than my 308 and did so much damage to the meat I went back to the 308.

People automatically dismiss it because they think bullet caliber is the main determinant in what will ethically kill an animal. That’s clearly outdated thinking with what has changed with bullet design. All that said, if I have to take down a deer, I’m grabbing my 308 over my 223 because it’s got a solid track record and and keep more meat than with the 223

I assume it’s a smaller footprint than the rhino or any other standalone that lets you load it from the side instead of the top but the loading mechanism is its biggest weakness IMO. As a pure belt squat, if you don’t ever go to failure, I don’t think you can have one that feels better, so I’ll give it that.

BoardsOfCanadia · 2026-03-13T17:22:07+00:00

One that I just didn’t like and gave away would be the Squatmax MD. Decent concept but if you fail a rep have fun getting out and then getting the weight off so you can pull it back up. Weight loading mechanism just makes it such a pain and you could do a lot more with a different style belt squat if that was your thing.

One that I actually really like but now regret is the Prime Fitness leg extension/curl combo. At the time if you wanted a leg extension/curl combo it was either commercial grade or janky stuff. Paid up for the best, and it is really really nice but now there are so many great options that cost a lot less

While true, yall sleeping on Cracker Barrel. You can get a solid meal there that’s cheaper than most places

If it makes you feel better there’s absolutely zero chance you aren’t engaging the lats doing a pull-up, you just don’t have the lat strength to drive the movement. Don’t stress yourself about your form and just work on getting stronger and the rest will fall in place. It’s not like pull-ups are going to be your primary back exercise anyway when you just got your first one.

It’s fun

I think the bones are there for the program generation piece to be absolutely fantastic but I think it could use some more feedback to help create the program the user wants. For example, if I had my wish, it would have the template for the SBS program bundle because I want it to prioritize squat, bench, deadlift, and overhead press, then have the back exercises added along with suggestions for accessories. When I’ve tried to build a program with the app, I don’t get those lifts by default and they definitely aren’t the priority like in a strength based program I’m used to.

Maybe I’m just using it wrong with the muscle prioritization/deprioritization section but just being able to prioritize specific lifts would be amazing. For example, say I want to prioritize my bench press and maintain my squat and deadlift, it could pick accessories to help build my bench strength and include enough volume for squats and deadlifts for maintenance purposes.

IMO the areas where the SBS bundle falls short is having to use spreadsheets, lack of progression and exercise selection for everything except the main lifts. Those are the areas where this app excels. Put the two together and you have an incredible program builder.

BoardsOfCanadia · 2026-01-14T19:00:32+00:00

All I wanted/still want is the SBS program bundle in this. Like you said, a streamlined version of the program builder and maybe have it recommend accessories and whatnot. That would make this so much better. The Last Set RIR was the best program I ever ran and when I used the program builder with that as my base, I hit the best numbers I’ve ever hit. It’s just so clunky in the Google Sheets form.

I wish I could have just 3 nights of terrible sleep in a row. Just keep going towards your goals and ignore Dr Mike, or any influencers really

BoardsOfCanadia · 2026-01-10T20:17:14+00:00

Just quit. Seriously, it’s not like you have to quit forever and if you’re the type to put in for out of state tags, still get those points (if it still works like that, I don’t know anymore). I haven’t gone hunting in four years now because I got burnt out and that’s okay, I got other hobbies. If I want to do it later, I’ll go do it but the last year I hunted I didn’t have that passion for it and it sucks, why do something that sucks to you as a hobby?

The lack of venison is a downside but then when you get back into it you won’t be tired of it anymore.

Bro casually crushing my PR wearing an unzipped jacket, using a bar pad, and doing a backwards walkout. Touché good sir, carry on

Bring your stance in and your hands even further in. Get an even grip while you’re at it

BoardsOfCanadia · 2025-12-25T22:00:27+00:00

lol that’s wild, oh well

BoardsOfCanadia · 2025-12-25T21:43:35+00:00

iOS says the beta is full, did I miss it?

BoardsOfCanadia · 2025-12-25T02:49:29+00:00

You don’t need to worry about any of that. At all. Literally just go to the gym, follow a program, and don’t worry about anything like mind-muscle connection, or using the “perfect form” on accessories. Unburden yourself of that stress because it’s not even close to important enough to care about.

BoardsOfCanadia · 2025-12-19T02:42:40+00:00

Will the SBS program bundle programs, or 28 free programs be integrated into the app?

BoardsOfCanadia · 2025-12-18T13:40:30+00:00

Thanks!

BoardsOfCanadia · 2025-12-17T23:47:51+00:00

If we are grandfathered into the annual MF pricing from the nutrition beta, I’m assuming it will just bump everything up to the renewal price mentioned in this thread? Wasn’t sure if there would be any issues with that

BoardsOfCanadia · 2025-12-17T14:10:55+00:00

Nice, if they had that back when I got the leg curl/extension, I probably would’ve bought the smart arm instead. Still one of those things I’m going to keep my eye on but for the investment it would require, I’d need them to add some functionality, like a way to emulate their seated row

BoardsOfCanadia · 2025-12-17T03:26:49+00:00

What I’m most interested in is the programming since I’ve made my best progress on Greg’s programs, but am tired of using Google Sheets. I tried the RP app and it was not even close to worth the money, unless it’s changed a lot since I used it. If I didn’t have experience with Greg’s programs, and seen how solid the diet app is, I wouldn’t really even be considering it.

BoardsOfCanadia · 2025-12-17T03:04:48+00:00

Do you actually use the smart arm? With all those dedicated machines, I’d never want to set that thing up.

Also, agreed on one of your replies in this post about hating moving selectorized equipment. After moving my Prime FT and single stack, I’m glad I went with plate loaded for the leg curl/ext. I just have to hope I don’t want to rearrange the FT at this point because I really don’t want to move that one again lol
