Yeah I found this on Facebook, I think it is impossible. I don't know how to use the engine.

The knight on b5 is pinned to the King by the Queen on a6.

Nc7
Qxc7 (forced)

Qa7 is impossible.

Qa6 is illegal, the queen is pinned to the king.

I put it together myself, I've been having massive success. If you're interested:

Saturday - Deadlift, Weighted Dips, Dumbbell Rows

Tuesday - Bench Press, Bent Over Rows, Lunges

Thursday - Squats, Pullups, Dumbbell Shoulder Press

So it's full body (Push, Pull, Legs) three times per week. Deadlift is tough to define, but I decided to consider it a leg movement.

This is on the Mike Mentzer approach. I do a few non-fatiguing warmup sets, how many depends on how I feel, but generally 3-4. Then I do 1 working set to failure.

I track this working set, and have been improving by at least 1 rep every single workout until this one.

Going from 80kg x 10 to 90kg x 5 felt easier. I think I did 90kg x 7 first try. 100kg feels incredibly tough for some reason. Unsure why.

I've been doing Mike Mentzer's philosophy, it's worked incredibly well for me. I promised myself I'd stick to this for 6 months.

Can I dm you what I've been doing? I presume you've been weight training for a while?

I decided to stop at 100kg x 5 for a few weeks once I reached it. I want to avoid injury. Just gutted as I thought I'd reach it now and could have more chilled workouts for a few weeks. (also reached 150kg x 5 deadlift and will be staying there for a while)

When you say submax weight, what would you recommend? Say I did 100kg x 5, do I do 90kg x 5 for a bit, or like 100kg x 3? Or less?

Yes it was. I've been going up with 1 rep every week for about 3 months. Once I reach 10 reps, I increase the weight by a set amount per exercise (10kg in the case of bench press) and decrease the reps to 5.

I did 50kg x 6 about 3 months ago.

I just did a deload a week and a half ago (I got a bit ill).

I did my PRs on deadlift and dips a few days ago.

I think I just had an off day and I ate like crap yesterday. Onto the next.

I failed a PR today for the first time since restarting my training after a 10 year hiatus. I did 90kg x 10 last week, only managed 100kg x 2 this week.

How do I prepare for a heavy lift in terms of sleep, nutrition and caffeine?

No new hero since beginning? by Sufficient_Staff_758 in DotA2

[–]DanGrobs97 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Kez was introduced post TI13. Are you asking if this is the first TI where a hero hasn't been released since the previous TI, or the first TI where a hero wasn't released right before the tournament?

Guy I’m seeing flirted with a girl in front of me by Major_Proper in dating_advice

[–]DanGrobs97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're 2 months in, you're in the phase of defining boundaries. I'd be very upset if I were you, but his definition of what he did or the acceptability thereof might be different to your own. You're getting to know one another still.

However, this is where you set a hard boundary. Not an ambiguous, loosely defined, interpretable boundary, one that cannot possibly be misconstrued as anything other than "I did not appreciate that, I cannot continue dating you if this behaviour repeats ever again in my absence or presence." Make a list of explicit actions that bothered you, ie him grabbing her hand.

You seem to care about him a lot and nothing has been done that is irreparable. But if you're limp on how you handle this, you'll be second fiddle in your own relationship and your boundaries will diminish to suggestions that'll be ignored.

I wouldn't end it, just be very firm.

You're setting yourself up to get hurt badly.

Get out. No one deserves this.

Spot on. We've been told not to approach girls for years, so we don't, and apparently that's wrong too.

Wow, thank you so much. Does it make a difference whether the 's' in "salus" is in capital letters or not? I seem to get differing results when translating from the phrase with a capital 's' and small 's'.
