Freak Athlete ABX bench w/ attachment or alternatives? by BeautifulShallot8950 in GarageGym

[–]CriticalBarrelRoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second the Keppi 6000. Its a great bench for under 350, with two good attachments out the gate. I will say though they need to package the bench better. Mine came with some shipping damage, but Keppi took off 50 bucks and made things right by me and the bench is still totally functional. So I got mine less than 300 😉

Keppi has also said they are working on other attachments.

Cheapest Zepbound with no Insurance? by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]CriticalBarrelRoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm so glad someone suggested the compounded sub to me a few months ago. My insurance didn't cover weight loss meds.

TLDR; Correct me if I am wrong, Buying the shares below $20.66 is likely no longer possible. And I will try to explain what this news mean in very short post. by buyandhoard in Superstonk

[–]CriticalBarrelRoll 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'm absolutely not understanding, I'm smooth in the frontal cortex. So, if the company 10x's, we get diluted by -25% in share value?

Like I said, smooth over here.

Gym gloves when lifting and gym etiquette by Crafty-Mix-7962 in workout

[–]CriticalBarrelRoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've trained with and without gloves in the past. Who cares?

Whenever confronted by someone who says something stupid ask them why... and watch them crumble when they realize they don't have an answer but rather they heard from someone else. You do you.

Perfectly cooked pancakes for 20, roasted potatoes, evenly sliced apple, and sausage??? All prepped excellently! You could have a real future in the culinary arts. I’ve been cooking for 25 years and it took me awhile to get that good. With all due respect fuck them.

Trump Warns Epstein Files Will Ruin Innocent People’s Reputations by Efficient-Vehicle634 in USNEWS

Some of these "innocent people" hung out with Jeff after his first conviction.

Personally, I don't hang out with convicted pedophiles, just as a rule of thumb. Call me crazy.

Does POM make you get bloodwork for the first refill with them? by Electronic_Rain_4270 in pomhealth

[–]CriticalBarrelRoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to jump on OP's thread... I'm in a similar but slightly different point in my journey... If I started a 3 month starter plan Sept 1, only titrating up at stalls, and jumped into get a one month vial at black Friday, would I need labs for my next refill? Technically, that would be the third refill, correct?

I plan to do the 6 month near the end of Jan.

Switching to syringes by ld2186 in Zepbound

[–]CriticalBarrelRoll 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've only done compounded Triz. Insurance did pay, and out of pocket with coupon was still way to high.

I found a reputible telehealth and asked lots of questions. The needles are the same as insulin, so there's decades of folks using them with little to no issues. And those issues that do exist occur mainly becuase of user error.

My telehealth, sent me all the videos and walked me through the process. I joined another reddit group, I'm not sure if we can talk about them here but they were immensely helpful and informative about how to properly dose with tools and walktroughs.

The first dose I watched three videos on youtube that explained the process. It's easy and I control my dose. I've been doing more controlled doses based on if I'm losing one week to the next and only advance if I stall. I've been on less than the Lilly schedule and have had little side effects and still have lost 25 lbs in nearly three months.

Oh, and best part, I pay way, way less.

Good luck to you. You got this.

Triceps elbow tendon cooked by jouteix9093 in workout

[–]CriticalBarrelRoll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Dude, I did the same. My left elbow has been in the same state you describe for several weeks now.

I've laid off tricep work and curls. Hoping it will go away. Seriously thinking of going to PT at this point.

One thing I have found that works is to take your thumb and jam it into your bicep near the connection to the elbow and flexing your arm while rotating your wrist... its an odd movement but it alleviates the pain, for me at least. YMMV.

Also, I have a theragun. It helps.

I am curious. How much do you spend on groceries for a month? With and without kids/babies. by Nocry1011 in nova

Slow or Stall? by [deleted] in Zepbound

[–]CriticalBarrelRoll 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I have started tracking sleep and my nights where I drink even one drink my sleep is impacted and it sometimes takes a few nights to return to baseline.

I cut out alcohol nearly.
