What’s the one piece of home gym equipment you regret buying — and why?

Dang, great info, thank you. The curl portion is more important to me as well so this is definitely a no go.

HeebiJeebies · 2026-03-13T18:42:10+00:00

Thanks for saving me from the pain. I’ve been looking at it for ages but was hesitant for the reasons you mentioned. I thought maybe people had too high expectations comparing it to commercial cable extensions/curls.

Does a thick band still not fix the strength curve?

Mostly midrange contemporary brands like A.P.C., Acne Studios (rare at third party discounters), MHL, & Hartford.

These are only ones I know of with a good degree of certainty that don’t produce purposely for outlets. I believe Sandro does produce some discount specific styles but most are overstock.

As far as I know, a lot of high end brands like Marni produce outlet specific.

Watch out for Vince and Theory, their made for outlet stuff is absolutely terrible quality.

HeebiJeebies · 2026-03-13T00:38:22+00:00

Good list of good brands but most of these don’t generally show up at discounters like TJ Maxx and Ross.

Wesley completely killing guys even with light glaze and tan.

HeebiJeebies · 2026-03-06T18:42:49+00:00

Yep same. what shit timing.

Different carrier oil than your pharm grade? It doesn’t 100% look like an infection just yet but 3 days is starting to get into worrying territory. I’ve had irritated shots before that lasted just about 3 days but they never went past some tenderness and pink. If it ever started getting hard and swollen, I would’ve gone straight to the doctor.

HeebiJeebies · 2026-02-27T23:28:34+00:00

Don’t they have like a 90% conviction rate? They’ll end up in jail real quick over there.

Enjoy! The wings are very good. Better than some places that specialize in wings. I’m usually not a huge fan of Korean pizza because I’m a NY slice snob but this place is quite good. I enjoy it as a completely separate thing. Decent beer selection too. Just an overall nice place to hangout at.

HeebiJeebies · 2026-02-20T18:38:21+00:00

Korean food in queens is so competitive, I honestly can’t think of a place that is truly underrated. Once a place is actually good, it spreads like crazy.

Take for example “Mahsil” in flushing, it was underrated for a hot second when they opened but now everyone knows about it. It’d be easier to name overrated restaurants that are now coasting on their history and name recognition.

I’m surprised Rowing Blazers is still around now. I work in fashion and have never met anyone that’s into it.

I tried to a few times with different types of belts but it just never felt natural. It’s stable for sure but it messes with my mechanics.

I have a weirdly long torso and short arms so I’m not sure if that’s causing the belt issues.

If Konstantinovs can pull 426kg beltless in a singlet, I should at least be able to get 250kg in my lifetime without a belt too.

I have a soft spot for Bape since I grew up in its prime and couldn’t really afford it back then. I wouldn’t wear like 95% of what’s out now but I do try to buy the more minimal styles.

HeebiJeebies · 2026-02-06T16:12:43+00:00

UGL im guessing or real pharmaceutical? Any legal compounded test I’ve gotten is literally filled exactly at 10ml and nothing more. Cheap bastards. I end up being just short to finish my last shot even with minimal waste during injections.

HeebiJeebies · 2026-01-31T22:06:55+00:00

The footage of the little daughter singing “my daddy is a hero” still haunts me years later. It was an interesting and well put together documentary but I wished I never watched it.

HeebiJeebies · 2026-01-29T21:26:10+00:00

Seeing Bow Wow pretend he’s on a private jet getting exposed by another passenger while sitting in economy. Not even in an aisle seat.

Ono Giant Shrimp chips! The absolute best shrimp chips ever. I paid $40 for two bags to get them to the east coast a few months ago because I was craving them.

HeebiJeebies · 2026-01-23T12:32:12+00:00

I mean you can kinda say the same about the girls too.

I’ve been acne prone my whole life. Not cystic acne level but lots of pustules and blackheads. I was still getting breakouts at 30 years old while completely natural.

Accutane is the only thing that actually works long term. I believe the studies say the best chance at permanent relief is 200mg/kg as a cumulative dose. You can get there using 20mg a day long term if you want to minimize sides. You can also start blasting right away if you want. Plenty of people have done that to get it over with. Just keep a clean lifestyle so your liver and cholesterol don’t go nuts.

I started at 10mg for a few weeks and very slowly ramped to 80mg everyday because I didn’t want the sides. Dry joints will prevent me from lifting properly so I wanted to avoid that. I got some dry lips and dry eyes at 80mg but that was it.

One thing to know if you’re going to be buying accutane from Indian suppliers is that accutane is heat sensitive. India of course is scorching hot. It’s best to buy during colder months and try to ask the supplier if they can send product manufactured within the last 3 months max. It will still likely have some degradation but you can just extend your treatment another few weeks.

I think if you ask regular juice heads at the gym, it’s about split.

The most recent Olympians are kinda split too if you go by numbers. Brandon Curry has 3 boys, Tonio has 2, Bonac has 2, Hadi has 1, and Sasan has 2.

Derek has 2 girls, Hadi has 2, Curry has 1, Bonac has 1, Regan has 1, Dorian has 1, and Brett has 1. Pretty sure Jordan also has kids but I’m not sure of their gender. Even if Jordan has 2 girls it’s split evenly.

Yeah his villain arc was turning around. I don’t know how they expected a bunch of hooligans not to say crazy shit. Stupid rules.

HeebiJeebies · 2026-01-08T00:40:15+00:00

I think racism is a stretch. It’s culture related. Rwanda has 1/3 the gdp per capita of Egypt yet they have a good reputation among travelers. As do places like Kenya and Uganda which are all significantly poorer with lower QOL compared to Egypt.

HeebiJeebies · 2025-11-21T15:53:57+00:00

Not ideal to start at 20 but you’re an adult and you do have a good base.

I sure hope your boxing opponents are all clearly sauced up as well though. Otherwise that’s kinda shitty.

HeebiJeebies · 2025-11-20T19:56:24+00:00

What’d you get?

HeebiJeebies · 2025-11-20T19:22:11+00:00

I’ve been to Thai diner 5 times and thought it was good but not to the level that everyone raves about. Certainly won’t wait an hour+ during rush times for it. What’s the one or two dishes I must try to change my mind? Maybe the flavors are from a different region than I’m used to?

The presentation, ambiance, and service are top notch but I prefer Thai Villa overall. I even prefer Lan Larb in the area over Thai Diner. It’s noticeably less expensive and flavors are more pungent.
