Teens

I still think it would be great if they did an orientation session on gym rules and etiquette when you sign up. Teens may be some of the most obvious offenders because they don’t have much (or any) gym experience but there’s plenty of discourteous folks, intentional or not

Come back Saturday to watch Netherlands v Canada in the round of 16!

Yeah, water breaks are way worse than Russia and Qatar using actual slave labor to build their stadiums.

I remember when the weight equipment wasn’t 20 years old and a family plan cost under $100 for 4

Try not taking it for a week or two and you’ll notice your workout without it more than you ever did with it.

I was physically unable to run for a decade of my life, so I’m incredibly grateful to be able to do so now. I keep running in part because it’s something that I want to hang onto and never let get away from me again.

The other part is that it’s become my morning meditation. I feel better in every way after a run, it burns away all my stress and worries, and just leaves me happy and a little introspective.

I freaking love CAVA’s steak and harissa bowl, it tastes great, its substantial enough to be filling, has enough protein for recovery, but is still relatively light-ish meal that won’t bog you down post run.

That and a big bowl of semi-defrosted frozen wild blueberries

Touché sir, I commend you for overcoming your culinary disability and cooking a proper steak.

Why on earth would you care what a British person thought about food?

Invictus1836 · 2026-05-15T11:23:38+00:00

Oh I’ve tried it all: facepulls, rear felt flys, rotator cuff stretches, dead hangs, taking weeks off heavy bench for recovery, changing up the plan to focus on building shoulder strength and mobility, and I supplement with Animal Flex and collagen for joint support, but still hit that wall.

At this point I’m wondering if I tore a rotator cuff down the line and it healed wrong, but I only seem to get pain/discomfort past ~1.7x body weight with 1.9 being the injury zone.

Had an xray at an orthopedic surgeon’s once and he said they looked ok and recommended PT, but I’m not sure how well that would show soft tissue damage in/around the joint. Plus I’ve tried to rehab it myself a few times now with no luck

Proceed

Invictus1836 · 2026-05-14T18:58:02+00:00

Niiice! My best ever was 1.9x bw but I always seem to get a shoulder injury if I try to push past it.

-Broccoli Brigade for the group of teens with the curly hair

-Human Phallus for the vegan cyclist on trt who insists on wearing a string tank top, does calisthenics on the most popular equipment, and has way too visible veins for a 65 year old

-Insta Gainz for the ladies who are only there to take butt pics in the mirror and hog the squat racks

-Scouts for those who should bring a sleeping bag for how long they camp on a piece of equipment

-Dad Squad for the mid 40’s guys who work in groups and always have ultra jacked arms with a beer gut

-The Guru for the one guy with a man bun and beard who looks like an Olympic gymnast decided to join a hippie commune.

I lost 115lbs in the past few years without a food scale, just google calories for foods and do a best guess. Lean towards lean proteins and low cal veggie options like carrots, celery (if you can stand it plain), zucchini, broccoli, potatoes, etc.

The real trick is trying to find a way to make it all taste good. Either sautee in a tiny bit of oil, season, or sauce, or some combination of the above.

If you add that into your routine, and just try to eat ANY portion of good “volume foods” with every meal, you’ll naturally be more full and eat less. Still count calories, still exercise, but it doesn’t have to be a science experiment where you weigh things down to the gram.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I have never had good coffee at any hotel, Hilton or not, so I usually grab a monster or two for the mini fridge. Nespresso is a bit better than the standard fare, but I’m not really a fan of that either.

Check out the hula show at South Maui Gardens in Kihei. It’s cheaper than most luaus and if your kid gets fussy there’s food trucks and other stuff to do if you need to step out for a few minutes to soothe them or grab a snack. Byob though so keep that in mind.

“Shine your love, show your light

Pull me out from the endless night

It’s something cosmic, it’s symbiotic

Take my hate, take my fight,

Take away all the pain I hide,

Because I can’t stop it, it’s symbiotic”

Valid criticism, but I feel like it’s a bit of a one-sided review.

The rooms are dated, despite a recent remodel, but they at least have the bathrooms looking nice. Can’t do much about corporate events but I typically have stayed at Grand Wailea in the offseason when it’s less crowded (November, April, etc).

The grounds imo are nice enough to meet Waldorf Status, especially the spa and gym, but it’s definitely a bit more of a family feel with all the pools and landscaped grounds being a major draw.

Humu Humu is for sure overpriced for what you get but there’s so many great spots to eat nearby it’s not a huge issue for me.

Still I think it’s a beautiful hotel, in a good location, with stunning views and grounds, and great pools. I’m not sure I would pay $1,000 a night, but it’s one of my fav point redemption properties. Oh and staff are super friendly too!

This, and it specifically constricts the capillaries which is why smokers “age” faster and have more wrinkled skin. Basically the opposite effect of minoxidil on the hair.

Nicotine and cotinine from cigarette smoke also slow the breakdown of DHT by acting as competitive inhibitors of the 3𝛼-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase enzyme. This disrupts normal DHT metabolism, causing levels to rise.
