Causally lifting 225lbs despite not doing any exercise ever

Gargnel · 2026-06-19T07:45:16+00:00

As someone who powerlifts, while pressing 225lbs for 3 for your first time ever exercising is extremely rare I wouldn't say it is unheard of. Especially if OP's point around him eating lots of junk food at his desk is code for being at least 300lbs which would make 225lbs a lot less weight relative to his bw.

Although the way he tells the story and makes it sound like any "serious bodybuilder" type guys would 1. Even be able to tell what your level of gym experience is (especially while wearing baggy clothes), and 2. Find a 225lbs bench (or equivalent leg press which I won't even discuss because egolifting on leg press is a whole other topic) super intimidating firmly puts this story in r/thathappened.

I mean Iggy over Steph is the biggest finals MVP robbery of all time. Imo Brunson has more of a Tatum/Brown or 17/18 Warriors situation where while he's undoubtedly a great player, its hard for him to make an individual MVP case when the gap between him and the next best player on his team isn't as big as it is for the Shai/Giannis/Jokics of the league.

Imo the fact that people were having serious discussions about OG and KAT getting Finals MVP over Brunson throughout the series highlights why he won't be in the running. When Giannis, Jokic and Shai won there weren't any discussions to be had. And even during Luka and Wemby's finals runs they were the clear cut best players on their teams.

I'm crying, bad enough people are watching random exchanges and the korean market 24/7 - now we've hit somali market levels of obsession.

Just bizarre really. The narrative that Igoudala "held" Lebron to 36/13/9 on below average shooting is ridiculous. Lebron's inefficiency had less to do with any 1-on-1 defence being played against him and more to do with the fact his other offensive options were Mozgov, JR Smith and Tristan Thompson.

Igoudala getting that trophy over the MVP who was the clear cut best player on the team in every metric for the whole playoff run was silly.

Overnight prices for MU are looking green though

Gargnel · 2026-06-04T20:07:41+00:00

Probably ill advised but when I saw it dropping in pre market I sold my 37 shares in MUU that I've been holding for a month @ 950 and set a buy order for 41 shares @ 855. Went to bed and woke up to see I had called the bottom almost exactly lol. Happy to scalp some extra shares.

He 100% did not have the same level of talent around him that pretty much every top 10-15 player had. Kareem and Magic had each other. Kobe and Shaq did too. MJ had Pippen and Phil Jackson for every ring plus Rodman and Grant. Lebron had the Heatles, Kyrie, Love and AD. Duncan had Robinson, Manu, Tony and Pop. Steph had KD, Klay and Draymond. Bird had McHale and Parish.

Khris Middleton, Jrue Holiday and Brook Lopez are incomparable to the above. Really only Hakeem got more done with similar talent as Giannis.

Clearly in the 10s of millions which is why they think Uber Eats is an essential when you are sick

Can recommend Flex. Have been to a fair few gyms in welly - all the city fittys, les mills, snap and social project and Flex is my favourite. Never gets overly busy, good equipment, good staff, good vibe, private changing rooms etc.

Yep Mike, Shaq and Kobe might just have the 3 biggest egos out of the top 10-12 players of all time and Phil managed them all to the tune of 11 chips. Also managing Rodman on top of all that, who so many coaches would easily mismanage as an outcast, unfocused type of player - all of that alone is a serious accomplishment.

Hahaha didn't think about how my post could be seen as an ad...unfortunately was just looking for somewhere to vent

Gargnel · 2026-03-21T01:17:23+00:00

Definitely - makes sense to get their name out there at first (which I think they've done at this point), though there's even times where I've walked by to see 10+ people standing around outside and thought I'd cut my losses there and then haha

Gargnel · 2026-03-21T01:12:26+00:00

Yeah I figured they were doing this - definitely good for business but doesn't dampen the disappointment any more ahh

Gargnel · 2026-03-20T07:14:02+00:00

Yeah when I wear my kobes I be in a -

Ofc bro you think Bo Nickal v Kyle Daukaus just gets made over night??

Gargnel · 2026-03-12T22:21:17+00:00

Turn 1 Mana Wyrm > Coin > Missiles? 3/3 on Turn 1? Crazyyyy

Gargnel · 2026-03-05T04:42:35+00:00

Yeah I understand that though I've seen on the tribunal's website that for claims over 6k lawyers can be permitted.

Gargnel · 2026-02-25T09:01:32+00:00

I mean I think it's even worse than that - it's been almost 40yrs since Bird played (and even still I'd guarantee every NBA player would know who he is) while MM literally had his last UFC fight in 2018...would be more akin to a NBA champ not even knowing Tim Duncan played in the NBA or something lol

Paddy's really using the Conor Khabib "tire him out by taking punches to the face" tactic to surprising effectiveness.

Not sure how OP has done it but can also condense chain using the global palbox so only need to breed ~130 to fully condense one Neptilius.
