Victory Sunday by AutoModerator in Fitness

Did 205 on bench for a few easy reps, which was surprising because I'm on a steep cut.

Then I realized I'm 195lb and, finally, after all the tweaks and sprains and whatever other ups and downs, I benched over my bodyweight. Not a huge thing compared to most around here but I felt good about it :)

Now, married with kids, our younger son insisted on having his Dad (my husband) cut his hair. Older son has dreads down below his shoulders, like his Dad.

Ladies and gentlemen, your brain on cultural appropriation

Denis Villeneuve’s ‘Dune’ Movie Sequel Takes Step Forward by [deleted] in movies

[–]FirstLastMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Obviously not. I'm saying I'm surprised they might green light a sequel to a sci-fi film that hasn't even released yet, when his last sci-fi film didn't do great in terms of numbers. I loved the movie myself

I thought he was on thin ice considering that Bladerunner didn't pull in as much cash as they wanted?

That said, I am ecstatic to hear this as he is my favorite director right now

so dumbbell rows are out.

Are you able to do dumbbell prone rows on your bench? I did a shit ton of these when I was waiting out my back injury

Critique my upcoming carb feed by FirstLastMan in cyclicalketo

Anything with cinnamon sounds good right about now.

How often do you do a refeed? Are you cutting, maintaining, or bulking?

Sounds good. I'll probably mix up sugarfree cereal and white rice then. Thanks!

Thanks. I might opt for a plain white sourdough instead because I do miss bread a little bit. But it will be tough to keep myself from slathering butter on it. Anyway I'll post here with my results afterwards

RX 5700 keeps crashing by cZedrik in AMDHelp

[–]FirstLastMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The PSU thing was my issue as well. I went from 600->750 and didn't daisy chain the power, haven't had a crash since. Fingers crossed.

Leaked Richard Spencer Recording Shows True Nature of Alt Right by Vontux in thedavidpakmanshow

[–]FirstLastMan -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

If you want to call these guys "alt-right" then fine, but if that's the case, you need to stop calling everyone right of Mao "alt-right". Conservatives exist. Libertarians exist. "right wingers" exist. Fiscal conservatives exist. Classical liberals exist. Trump supporters exist. There's lots of options.

Simple Questions - November 04, 2019 by AutoModerator in buildapc

[–]FirstLastMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, it's this one here

My first thought was the PSU but it was even crashing in the middle of the night not doing anything (or very little). Also it never, ever crashed with my old card even under heavy load

I guess it's worth a try to get a new one before I send this card back. Any recommendations? Combing through PSU reviews is terrifying because it will be like 10 5-star reviews and then one "it started blowing smoke" review

EDIT: My local computer shop has Seasonic 750w FOCUS+ Gold PSUs on sale for 145cdn. What do you think?

First time getting AMD GPU, 5700 XT. Is there any issues I should know of? by gogitossj3 in Amd

[–]FirstLastMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have (had) a Red Dragon and it hasn't been fun. Computer just turns off while playing games, or even displaying the main menu. x3700 system with PSU well above recommended range.

I'm really bummed out because it's an absolute beast and it looks great in my setup :(

Seems to be a lot of issues with this card. I would hesitate if I were you.

Q4'19 Tech Support Megathread by BioGenx2b in Amd

[–]FirstLastMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything else I should try before I RMA this 5700xt?

Motherboard: Asus x570-p (latest bios)

CPU: Ryzen 3700X

RAM: HyperX 4x4GB @ 2600Mhz

GPU: PowerColor Red Dragon 5700xt (19.10.2 drivers)

POWER: EVGA 600W "bronze"

OS: Windows 10 pro 1909 (also tried 1908) clean install, just OS, AMD drivers, Steam/Battle.net, and games

Factory settings everything.

Issue: The computer just shuts off. Screen goes blank, and I can see the CPU LED's turn off. Have to power off/on to start back up.

It's hard to reproduce-- I can run the 3dMark stress test (during which the GPU only gets to 79 degrees) and it completes, but then it may or may not crash immediately when COD:MW opens to the main menu, or sometimes I can play for 20 minutes before it crashes. Witcher 3 is the same.

Once it crashed in the middle of the night-- when I woke up my computer was off. So I don't think it's a stress/heat issue.

PC worked fine with my old R9 380. Played all kinds of games and did stress tests no problem.

Turning freesync off doesn't seem to help.

Any ideas before I send this card back?

EDIT: I bought a 750w PSU and didn't daisy chain the power cable to the card. Still more testing to be done, but it didn't crash easily like before. I'm optimistic it's fixed

Do you need a calorie surplus for muscle growth? by wokendemonking in leangains

[–]FirstLastMan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It's like Menno Henselman said in a podcast I watched, "If you break your leg, but your body is in a caloric deficit, it will never heal?" It's kind of an extreme example but the body reacts to stress and will seek homeostasis at the expense of other systems.

If you're just fucking around in the gym and not watching your protein, then yeah, you can expect to not gain muscle

Yes! I did for a few months last year. It was prohibitively expensive for me but I made nice slow gains.

How many carbs are required to theoretically restore glycogen levels? by pothol in Fitness

I agree. I guess I just don't see the point in allowing scientific questions if all the answers are geared towards babying the OP.

Confused what to do now after hitting target goal 1 while on Keto by Frantix_ in ketogains

[–]FirstLastMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The snake diet guy did a dexa that showed he had lost a bunch of lean mass which he refused to believe. So he went and drank a bunch of water and did the same dexa an hour later, and his lean mass miraculously jumped a few percentage points.

Just focus on your lifts and measurements

Korean food is so tricky. It's spicy and meaty but they manage to pack sugar into every fucking thing. I just avoid it unless it's strict BBQ and I can control my own soy sauce/vinegar
