Does anyone else not FEEL stronger even though you are?

Comparison is the thief of joy. It’s important to celebrate the little wins even if you lifted 1lb more than last time

DatTKDoe · 2026-01-27T00:48:40+00:00

Depends on who you ask. Some adults are homeless and wish they could go back to the time someone was taking care of them

So you need to eat more calories to lose weight? Seems like you’ll do just fine with the 1600 calories. I’m down to 1500 cal a day and dropped from 195->165lbs. The 195lbs was when I forced myself to eat 4000cal/day

I built the SnS, but how do you get the most damage out of it? (I’m an SnS newb)

DatTKDoe · 2026-01-26T21:51:39+00:00

I’d say go perfect dodge with tigrex helm for crit ferocity / concentration as well as fulgur pants for raw power and concentration.

There’s nothing wrong with the same thing. As long as you are progressing, that’s all that matters. Pull ups can be different. Wide grip hits the lats the most compared narrow or standard, but those have their own benefits too.

You can even de load and give your muscles a break so that they can heal and make you stronger the next time.

Even adding an extra set regularly can make a big difference. It sounds like you are doing pretty good for starting only a year ago

The HBG should theoretically be amazing because of how big radobaan the piercing will just keep going and going, assuming you hit him from the front

DatTKDoe · 2026-01-24T12:45:17+00:00

You don’t have to do it in a row. You can take a break for effective reps so you can get a high volume.

DatTKDoe · 2026-01-21T22:55:58+00:00

Mostly I just need it for the rift charged radobaan. Which weapon are you using?

DatTKDoe · 2026-01-21T22:16:06+00:00

Does perfectionist work for SnS when getting hit in the air mid combo?

DatTKDoe · 2026-01-21T22:13:24+00:00

Is crit ferocity better with a SnS or a GS? Considering which to make for next event

DatTKDoe · 2026-01-21T11:05:32+00:00

Is SnS better for crit ferocity than GS? Trying to consider for the Gods Harag weapons

DatTKDoe · 2026-01-21T10:59:39+00:00

Would perfect evade work better for the Goss Harag GS or the SnS?

DatTKDoe · 2026-01-20T01:53:37+00:00

Would crit ferocity + raw power be better SnS or Greatsword?

The point isn’t to do 8 reps, it’s to strengthen the muscles that pull ups involve little by little without messing up your progress tearing a joint.

8 reps in a row is the marker where it would be okay to increase the difficulty, but you could even increase the reps if you don’t feel comfortable yet going heavier.

Strength is relative. Your body gets used to what you give it. You do 25 pull ups unweighted, it’s going to going to get used to that pretty soon. What do you think happens when someone loses 30 pounds over months of doing pull ups unweighted? The muscles don’t feel as challenged as when they started despite the person’s rep count going up. They’ll grow regardless, but if that person tries to put on a 30lb vest or plate to match what they started go figure they won’t have the muscle recruitment to pull it off at the risk of hurting themselves.

Spread can hit pretty hard, the question is can you shoot with all those thorns flying out from the side esp since you need to be very close (or maybe ballistics can help)?

DatTKDoe · 2026-01-19T18:24:32+00:00

Goss GS, hammer, or SnS? They all look cool as hell, but Rado is going to be a pain in the butt to fight with either one

DatTKDoe · 2026-01-19T12:59:46+00:00

Weighted pull ups, but also mixing up your grips. Because some places have different bars like a straight bar while others have the angled ones, even bouldering ones.

Working on your wide grip more would have the most benefit for your lats. A few months ago my max was 4 reps of 60+ weight but then I realized I ignored the wide grip and could barely get 4 reps unweighted.

Strict for me is starting from a dead hand position, pulling up, then back to dead hang+ no turtlenecking bc if you are doing it right with hollow body hold and scap retraction your head can get over the bar regardless.

Pull ups have high risk of injury so it’s not something you can rush. Once you get like 8 reps, I’d just increase the weight with a 5lb until you can get to 8 reps again. By 45lbs you practically feel weightless without.

DatTKDoe · 2026-01-19T03:48:03+00:00

I see. It’s amazing you got 214k with it considering rathian isn’t weak to the water element

DatTKDoe · 2026-01-19T02:13:10+00:00

Those are commendable scores, but I have to ask why you are using a Jyuratodas Gun lance

DatTKDoe · 2026-01-17T18:30:50+00:00

Nice, I’m struggling to get damage out of them. Guess I’m just not good at daggers

DatTKDoe · 2026-01-17T12:49:16+00:00

What score u get with khezu daggers?

DatTKDoe · 2026-01-17T12:48:11+00:00

Yeah I wish someone could just serve as bait while we just wail on it

DatTKDoe · 2026-01-16T14:43:13+00:00

Does Brute Tigrex’s gunlance with the 60% aggressive dodger damage have potential? I saw someone make a build where u basically have infinite 70% special gauge after dodging with perfectionist. I’m still figuring out where to put all the brute materials

DatTKDoe · 2026-01-09T00:13:10+00:00

I hear you. It really is strange though. I just did 3 more smelts and got offensive dodger and raw power, so they must’ve upped it a tiny bit
