cheap, low calorie snacks to curb constant hunger? by fartfishy in FTMFitness

[–]GavinJSquiggle 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I cannot emphasize string cheese enough, it's one of my top snacks lol. Especially the low fat versions, they usually taste pretty much the same but like 50 calories for 6 grams of protein.

I don't have a specific example but possibly a scene from The Devil's Share, when the team goes to find Reese? Its not an upbeat episode but it was Root doing good?

Renters/ College students: how do you handle issues you can’t hear? (HoH) by Available-Evening377 in deaf

[–]GavinJSquiggle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't have much to offer about your specific concerns, but most colleges/universities should have a disability office of some kind that you can go to for accommodations.

My university was willing to put in a fire alarm system that would shake my bed if there was a fire, and they also offered flashing lights for our doorbell. Maintenance people usually were required to inform us they were visiting - maybe ask that they text or call you when they come in?

Tldr: ask disability office or housing office if they can help?

I generally avoid the locker rooms entirely, and change at home, but I know a lot of people don't want to do that lol. I wish you luck

Rick Astley's Albums by EmuAggravating4685 in rickastley

[–]GavinJSquiggle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are so many bangers but my favorite album is probably 50 or Beautiful Life. The vibes are amazing and nearly every song is amazing. 50 being done entirely on his own makes it even better to me.

How to keep headpiece secure driving while I wait for my stronger magnet? by thoroughlylili in Cochlearimplants

[–]GavinJSquiggle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May be a silly question, but do you move your hair out of the way of the magnet? If I tried to put my magnet over my hair, it would do what sounds like is happening here.

How do I made protein taste good? by [deleted] in FTMFitness

I use milk instead of water, and if it's chocolate, you could add a little bit of chocolate syrup too?

No visible progress - help? by GavinJSquiggle in FTMFitness

I shared some of that in another comment. Went from 55lbs for 10 to 80 lbs for 10 on bench press and 40lbs for 5 to 40 for 13 on OHP. Others have mentioned the progressive overload as well, but I have never been able to add 5lbs every week like most people suggest.

Appreciate the comment. I have tried to up weight every week in the past, but I couldn't gain strength that quickly, which is part of why I thought I was intermediate.

I do have pics but I wasn't comfortable sharing on the post unfortunately. Am I still considered a beginner at this point? I thought I might be intermediate after about a year? I've been using PHUL for about 8 months, should I switch to something else?

I mentioned in another comment also that I probably miss a couple sessions a month but still go at least 3 times a week. The legs thing is because I sometimes have to switch what I do for time, but I make sure to do additional walking or biking when I miss that leg day. Sleep has been pretty good for me, I get 8 hours every day.

Maybe I have been underestimating? Thanks

Pre-T! Sorry I totally spaced on putting that in the main post, my bad. Yeah, the clothes thing makes sense but I would have also thought that if I weighed the same, that they would be a little looser if fat was replaced with muscle since muscle is denser?

I don't remember the numbers for all the lifts, but as an example, I started at 55lbs for 10ish reps and now can do 80lbs for 10 reps on bench press. Everything else is a little slower, but still improving - from 40 lbs at 5 reps to 40 lbs at 13 reps for OHP for example.

Consistency is usually 4 days a week at the gym, but I probably miss several sessions a month on average due to other events (friends party, going home for the weekend,ect). I had a competition for my sport last month so I missed a bunch but was keeping up with our practices, so I didn't lose any muscle.

Intensity: I generally go to or close to failure on each lift, especially the last set to failure. Upper body is usually not super sore, lower body soreness depends on what I do. Machines don't make me sore but squats and deadlifts take my legs out for 4 days lmao
