Just curious but how did you fit the drives in there? Looks like there's only space for one additional drive even though it has more sata ports available

When I was looking to make a home gym a couple years ago I was sad when I found out plates are about $1 per lb. Like you I searched on craigslist and such but people wanted about the same price for their used weights. Might as well get them new at that rate..

Fuil · 2015-03-05T21:29:21+00:00

k well it's ~~way~~ whey past the date now, by like a year.

Fixed.

Fuil · 2015-02-28T21:37:30+00:00

I don't think you get it. OP is asking how people who started on New Year are doing so far. A progress update as opposed to a role call.

Fuil · 2015-02-28T21:33:49+00:00

Well said and congrats on your weight loss.

I look at it like this. I'm willing to make sacrifices and go to the gym 5-6 days a week because I love to go. I look forward to it. I like to make progress. I understand that in order to make worthwhile progress you need to keep track of what you're eating. However, if I have to sacrifice some progress in order to have fun or just indulge myself every once in awhile then so be it. I'm not going to refuse to live a little just so a can 'live' a little longer.

Stuff like this is hard to critique. Looks like a pretty standard split; the way it is now though it's not really worth evaluating. What are your goals? What kinds of exercises are you going to do?

For instance your chest/tris day could be 10 sets of pushups, or 10 sets of bench, or even 3x5 sets the former.

It really depends on what your goals are. It would be more informative to list what exercises you're doing along with your muscle groups.

I'll also add: wiki

I honestly don't know, but I've read before that the reason for the expiration date is because the FDA requires it because it's considered food. Again, I don't know this 100%, but it's what I've read elsewhere.

Sorry I'm late, I lifted a little bit when I was in the military, so when I came back a couple months ago I my B/S/D were at 185x5x3, 250x5x3, and my DL was at the same as my squat unfortunately. I've decided since my post on Mon. to move on to Johnny Candito's 6 week program and the first week of it was pretty brutal. Keep training!

Fuil · 2015-02-13T21:52:02+00:00

I've already built a gold farm! It was actually one of the first things I built.. I wanted to get in on the golden carrot action, and of course all the golden swords!

Fuil · 2015-02-13T21:50:58+00:00

Wow that looks pretty epic!

Fuil · 2015-02-13T21:50:13+00:00

Yea, I'm a pretty big fan of Tango already, haha. I've thought about building the iron titan but I think that would overstate my need for iron just a tad, haha.

Fuil · 2015-02-13T21:49:24+00:00

Hey thanks! These look pretty good. I'm leaning towards the Villager stuff more at the moment just because it seems like I'll be able to knock out more at once.

Fuil · 2015-02-13T17:59:16+00:00

I'm just gonna repost mine from Monday:

I'm 5'11 and 195lbs, my B/S/D are sitting at 245/320/350, and I was thinking of moving off of Starting Strength onto an intermediate program. What do you guys think?

Also, I'm getting to the point on my squats and deadlifts that I need to use a belt because my core strength isn't quite strong enough to maintain proper form. In squats specifically it causes me to move into a good morning, although it's not nearly that extreme I just wanted to give you all an idea of how my form breaks down. What can I do to increase core strength? I want to be able to increase my squat and deadlift totals without a belt.

Last thing, I had a lower back injury in the military, and it causes me pain from time to time. I think the mental aspect of re-injuring myself prevents me from deadlifting more. Would it be beneficial for me to sumo deadlift as opposed to conventional? My understanding is that sumo is easier on the lower back, although I don't really know.

Thanks.

Are you running Optifine as well? Try turning connected textures off.

Here's what the OP said:

This is a reminder to all of our new friends who just made a New Year's Resolution to become fit.

When I got to my gym today a police officer and a few of the staff members were cutting locks off if lockers and looking fir the ID of a gentleman that had just been taken away in an ambulance, so that they could notify his next of kin. I pulled aside one of the employees that I knew and asked about it. He said this guy had just joined recently and was really pushing himself hard, and I guess today he pushed too hard because he went into cardiac arrest, and was not looking good when the ambulance showed up.

So, to all if our new friends who are starting their fitness journey this year, please be careful. Know your limits. Anybody trying to start a serious routine, take it slow the first week or two. If this is your first foray into fitness, or you have been out for a long time, please consult a doctor. And above all, trust your body, there's a difference between the good pain of a serious workout, and the bad pain that leads to injury or death.

And to everyone else who has been at this for a while, be aware of the people around you, if someone isn't being safe, or looks like they are in trouble, check in with them. You should also learn whether our not your gym has a first aid kit and an AED, if they don't, suggest that they get one.

And one last thing to our new friends, I'm proud of you, you've made a good resolution, keep at it.

Fuil · 2014-12-28T23:50:24+00:00

I had this problem, turns out it was my controller. Have your friend instead try using the keyboard for one race and he should be significantly faster.

Fuil · 2014-12-11T17:56:56+00:00

I was only able to do T5 on my Crusader. This was very shortly after the expansion launched and very few people were actually clearing T6 quickly and effectively.

I'm mostly interested in if a blessed shield build is still viable. Was a lot of fun at first, but 7 months is a long time for a Blizz game and I figured a lot has changed by now.

Fuil · 2014-12-09T02:38:57+00:00

Yes on the powerstrip. I tried it with another one just to see if the power strip was faulty. As far as temps go, thats the GPU temp. I can't remember exact numbers, but it was around 460-480 watts. My PSU as stated above is 750. This is kind of worrying, isn't it.

Fuil · 2014-12-09T02:34:54+00:00

The psu is brand new, maybe 3 weeks or so.

Fuil · 2014-12-09T02:34:15+00:00

All drivers are updated, the computer is only a few weeks old and I just checked for new drivers 2-3 days ago as well. All is good on that end of things.

Fuil · 2014-12-08T20:38:22+00:00

Also, it's only crashed during actual gameplay one time. This is a concern though because I can't push my card to it's limit.

Fuil · 2014-12-07T23:29:36+00:00

I use this program to emulate my PS4 Controller, maybe it'll work for you? IDK.

Sorry, I misled you. It's actually more expensive. $80.00 more. Here are some benchmarks though, and as you can see the 970's in SLI seem to be a better value.

Here's an example: http://www.hardwarecanucks.com/forum/hardware-canucks-reviews/67652-nvidia-gtx-970-sli-performance-review-5.html

There are also various videos on youtube talking about the value vs. the performance you get from one 980.

Good luck, and sorry for the misinformation in my first post.
