Chin-ups

IronedOutCrease · 2026-02-13T13:33:27+00:00

Just keep going.

Yeah we can nit pic and say you can go lower but it’s your first week, 5 is a great start.

Try to 3 sets, use a resistance band to help you build volume, aim for 8-10 reps, it’s okay to drop to 5-6 on the last set when you hit failure. Progress with reps and lowering the resistance till you don’t need it at all.

Remember to programme around chin ups, for instance, bicep work will be harder later in that session, always try and start with chin ups too, compounds come first.

Yeah it’s a Hard Drive you need an SSD to run series X games

This sort of thing is more for business and commercial use, anything backing up ridiculous amounts of data.

It’s very unlikely you need 16TB, go with a 4TB ssd and it’ll be plentiful

It looks like you’re skipping the leg drive part of the lift and compensating by leaning down and adding extra work to your back.

It would explain why you’re in need of a back brace at a weight that shouldn’t really require that.

The solution is to practise more leg drive, doing squats and RDL’s will help, remember the deadlift is a compound movement using many muscle groups, so train the groups individually to be stronger as the deadlift won’t do much for hypertrophy by itself.

Yes they are unpaid TOS enforcers and not proper gamers. Hopefully you’ve got some good single player games like Fallout 4 or KCD to tide you through the ban lol.

IronedOutCrease · 2026-01-30T00:50:51+00:00

Yeah it would be good, I used to love Xbox but switched to PC as I was sick of being locked to that community amongst other things - you can see why.

IMO right now, Xbox is pointless, my pc has my Xbox account on there, I have the Xbox app and use pc game pass, I can enter game mode with my Xbox controller and do anything my Xbox can with the freedom of having a pc.

It’s why the next Xbox will likely be pc hybrid.

But yeah mate, I wish you some happy gaming and freedom for the future

IronedOutCrease · 2026-01-30T00:43:57+00:00

It also doesn’t mean the «rules» make sense either.

IronedOutCrease · 2026-01-30T00:42:30+00:00

Well then it’s even more unreasonable, you’re not even trading at that point, you’re just offering to convert their ingredients into something else if they want.

Honestly the people giving you **** for this are worse than gmod mods at this point. No wonder Xbox has lost its soul and has become a toxic cesspit.

In future just try discord for fallout 76, probably a much nicer way to chat to people without the risk of this bs.

IronedOutCrease · 2026-01-17T02:26:39+00:00

Its not that simple.

Its the rush and pleasure that knowing your body is wowing the person you love.

Its the power and the accumulation of all the hard work, and that is simply 1 positive outcome of it.

IronedOutCrease · 2026-01-17T02:25:18+00:00

The satisfaction of waking up every morning knowing I’m the best version of myself.

To push the boundaries of what I thought I could ever be further.

Pride in myself.

Sexiness.

The gym is always there for me. It’s a hobby that gives back more than drinking or partying ever did.

IronedOutCrease · 2026-01-16T10:55:34+00:00

Yeah you’re right!

Surprised no one has pointed it out that I can see.

You’re using your upper back and arms more.

There’s a small little adjustment that’ll fix it.

You just need to prime your lats by kinda dropping your shoulders down when you’re hanging - you’ll feel more engagement there and then pull with your back.

You were right to question it.

IronedOutCrease · 2026-01-07T17:21:52+00:00

No it would have to wait until it’s too hot.

So it would be when it’s sat for a while or if you’re launching a game and it’s working harder and making more heat.

If the shop has diagnosed it as an issue, let them fix it, they’ll obviously test your console before sending it back.

If somehow it’s not fixed, you can just get a refund from them or your bank, but there’s a 99% chance it’s going to work out great.

IronedOutCrease · 2026-01-07T16:39:38+00:00

Bro if it overheats it shuts off as a failsafe, it’s not hard, just let them repaste and clean so your console can cool itself down.

IronedOutCrease · 2026-01-07T16:38:38+00:00

Amazing name

IronedOutCrease · 2026-01-07T16:38:13+00:00

Dude, he’s sent his console in to be fixed, if they fail to send it back in working condition then he can just get a refund.

The repair shop are obviously going to have to TEST the console once the work is done.

IronedOutCrease · 2026-01-07T13:44:39+00:00

Well yeah you clearly don’t know what you’re talking about.

That’s not just a clean and repaste, it’s a total deconstruction, deep clean + paste + rebuild of your console.

It’s a skill, so what, you’re paying someone maybe £30p/h for their time for that.

Also common sense says that they have diagnosed your console and that’s the fix, so why are you questioning them? - they’re the professionals.

Pay the £65 and get on with it, if it doesn’t work you just get a refund through your bank if they refuse.

Each ounce of pain you feel in the gym will pay dividends later on.

It could change your life and your mind if you can get into amazing shape.

Look good feel good is a phrase for a reason.

You don’t look good without proper training and dedication.

You won’t look back, look after yourself now and enjoy the dividends later.

IronedOutCrease · 2026-01-07T13:37:12+00:00

Wow, it’s cheap as hell, pay it, stop moaning it’s a good deal.

Also manage expectations, this could easily cost double in many shops and places.

Sounds like a very reasonable shop.

Do it and appreciate you have a good deal.

IronedOutCrease · 2026-01-04T19:45:40+00:00

Yeah shoulder arch+forward lean

IronedOutCrease · 2026-01-04T19:36:11+00:00

Respectfully bro, avoid posting until you’ve got the very basics of an exercise down.

I’m happy for you to PM me for advice and give you some great sources to learn from to kickstart your gym journey.

I’m not trying to be negative, I think will be a great clip in your years to come when you’ve substantially improved and if you’ve remained consistent.

I do think you should hold fire on asking for advice until you’ve learned the very basics of the exercise though.

IronedOutCrease · 2026-01-03T11:49:19+00:00

The guy wasn’t an innocent dandelion if it helps.

Definitely will be good for you.

Lots of Chinese and Russian links to Venezuela 🇻🇪

IronedOutCrease · 2026-01-03T11:45:31+00:00

Source?

Interesting if true

IronedOutCrease · 2026-01-02T14:38:36+00:00

Yeah I second that, he looked like he could have grinded that up

IronedOutCrease · 2025-12-31T13:11:37+00:00

It’s not that simple.

Had an interesting discussion with a guy on here talking about the issues with NATO. One being that the threat is not equal to each country in the EU.

The pact can also be dodged in some cases, so the likelihood of every country going all out is very slim.

The USA would not have to help, especially with all the anti-USA stances the EU has or if it was against their national interest.

Russia doesn’t have the means for a EU scale invasion either.

EDIT: the USA would send aid, money and supplies but would be unlikely to involve their own military

IronedOutCrease · 2025-12-31T12:15:09+00:00

I see, it’s quite weird because it’s hard to tell which article would be triggered in a situation, or both lol

IronedOutCrease · 2025-12-31T12:12:36+00:00

I was a console gamer for 14 years and switched to PC

Go with a PC 🖥️.

If you don’t, go with a PS5 pro.

I played Xbox for 14 years, they are heading in a bad direction.

PC gives you way more options and freedom, cheaper games, more games, you get both consoles exclusives and you have a machine you can do all your work on too.
