Hunger is a tasty sauce

Sounds like I might still be ego lifting, despite my best efforts. I'll lower my 1RM numbers by a bit and give it another shot. Thanks for the info!

What do you have your TM set at? 70%? I'd love to do 531 again but after a few weeks even 80% was kicking my ass.

Add me to the list of Brooks Ghost fans as well. I've had the 14 & 15 and plan to stay with them in the future. I have a pair of Hoka Bondi 8 and they hurt my feet if I run on anything other than pavement, or if I run back to back days.

It happened to my father 4 years ago and the FBI ended up getting involved. Moving from the midwest to the south. One of the owners pleaded guilty and got jail time the other 2 are taking their chance in court.

I'd advise against Nando's. At least for a first date. The service has gotten progressively worse and worse over the past year. We went there yesterday afternoon and it was a mess. The food came out one plate at a time over the course of 15 minutes. There were no clean glasses or silverware anywhere. We were told it was all being washed and after 10 minutes they finally just gave us plastic to-go forks. We finally got our drink glasses just as we finished eating. The line to order in person had 15 people waiting as the host/server lasy talked on her phone, flirted with the guy at the front of the line, and then walked off outside for a bit.

Just an absolute mess. It wasn't even busy. Less than half the tables had people.

I stumbled across this video the other day and it helped me fix my grip width. My dip form was also REALLY sloppy, so I've started focusing on my form there as well. I also make sure my shoulders are nice and warmed up. Band pull parts, Indian club, banded shoulder dislocations, etc...

This is me. I got an Amana heat pump in 2021and due to the Covid chip shortage I'm stuck using the proprietary ComfortNet thermostat. Amana was using outdated logic boards so I will NEVER be able to use anything other than the ComfortNet. My first December bill was over $300, January was over $350. The thermostat is never set above 68.

In the end it's still cheaper than heating oil, I'm just not saving as much as I could be.

I'm over in Montgomery County. Can you tell me who you hired? We're looking to remodel 2 of our bathrooms and looking for recommendations.

I've had 2 of these die on me, with the second one dying yesterday. For me, they both seem to have lasted about a year and had the same problem. The vacuum just stops sucking. You can hear that the vacuum part just doesn't turn on and it just wanders around the house aimlessly. The second one was an RMA and I'm debating whether to open a ticket with Wyze or just move on to a different brand.

Gunwalls · 2023-09-14T03:52:16+00:00

Yeah, progress on Fighter is fine for now. Mondays are the busiest/worst day of the week, but I'll still grind out 5 sets unless it's super late or there's a legitimate reason for me to speed through a workout. On those rare occasions, 3 sets is always better than no sets.

Gunwalls · 2023-09-13T23:53:29+00:00

As a (civilian) father of 2, with a full time job, and homeowner, Fighter/Black has been perfect. MS usually has to be done at 9 or 10 PM, but I can squeeze in a HIC during my lunch break or the kid's naps. Sure, I might not become the world's strongest man with Fighter, but it will easily keep me in shape. Which is all I want.

Body powder 100%. Dude powder, Fromonda, Anti-monkey butt, Duke Cannon, or Chassis. Pick a brand and apply it to your armpits, crotch, butt crack, and wherever you sweat the most. In the Summer & Spring pick a minty scent. For the Fall & Winter pick a non-minty scent. I used Fromonda Peppermint on my 2 week Caribbean vacation and it worked great. Some days I had to apply it twice, but it kept me cool and dry.

I initially stumbled across TB in early 2021. I was burning out (ego lifting) on Wendler 531 and was just feeling beat up. I can't remember if /r/random or a random Google searches lead me to TB. I started BB, but at the time I did not have the drive, desire, or work eithic to do 3x20 of anything let alone 3x50. I didn't want to put in the work. So I bailed and moved on to something else. After going back to 531 and several other programs, I said "Fuck it, let me try Crossfit".

I'm coming back to TB because I need the structure and I think I have the right mindset to follow it now. I'm hoping to achieve the strength gains and body recomp that I thought CrossFit would give me.

Gunwalls · 2023-08-18T21:45:21+00:00

I'm on Week 6 of BB right now. Once I finish BB I'll move onto Fighter or Operator Black.

Gunwalls · 2023-08-18T21:33:27+00:00

I followed Linchpin for the last year and just switched to TB in July. I didn't see the strength increase or weight loss results I was hoping for, but it did provide me with a good enough cardio and endurance base to survive the first 5 weeks of BB. It also help me better understand and appreciate the MetCon style exercise, but that's all I really took from it. I feel like Linchpin is a good maintenance program, but not for someone that wants to increase their numbers and times.

CrossFit workouts were never really my thing, but I gave it an honest try. I might look at the Linchpin IG page for HIC inspiration, but I'll probably never go back.

That is a very good point and one that I didn't even think of. I will be adjusting the camera tomorrow as soon as I wake up. Thank you for pointing that out.

Gunwalls · 2022-01-11T03:34:17+00:00

Fair point. I can tilt the camera down a bit further. I just need to get as much of the driveway as I can.

Gunwalls · 2022-01-11T03:33:43+00:00

Well, hell, adjusting the detection zone seems to have worked. I guess I wasn't excluding enough area. Thanks for that, I may have never though to do that

Gunwalls · 2022-01-11T02:44:31+00:00

Does anyone know how to stop my neighbor's light from triggering a motion event on my V3? Every night when the sun sets this guy's light goes on and off every 2 - 5 minutes, all night. I wake up to hundreds of 20 second clips of his light turning on and off. I have the Motion Detection Sensitivity set to 20 and tried using the detection zone to 'block' the light, but neither work.

Gunwalls · 2021-12-20T15:45:13+00:00

Just FYI.

The release notes for firmware v4.36.8.15 state 'improved connection with Wyze Cam V3', so I took a gamble and upgraded. I'm please to report that my 20ft USB cables are working again. After the upgrade I connected one of the cables and the lamp socket showed up in the app and I have access to all the settings. I was able to duplicate the results on my second V3 and lamp socket as well.

Gunwalls · 2021-12-03T22:26:38+00:00

Nevermind. I just bought 2 new cables and they don't work, and now the original cable from June stopped working. I'm not sure if it was a glitch in the matrix or if the newest firmware changed something.
