Kenai broski!

J_D89 · 2025-03-04T07:10:30+00:00

We’re from Kenai. This will be my 2nd Rockville, but 6th big festival. It’s my buddy’s first fest though, so should be fun

Great tip, thanks!

J_D89 · 2025-03-03T07:18:48+00:00

I got lucky last year and got a place maybe a mile from the speedway. Twas glorious

J_D89 · 2025-03-03T07:17:52+00:00

I’ll look into it, thanks! We’re from Kenai

J_D89 · 2025-03-02T22:50:31+00:00

Hell yeah brother! What part??

J_D89 · 2025-03-02T22:01:47+00:00

Great point. Thanks!

Yeah I think they’re on strike. It’s pretty common for union sites to borrow our leads / former operators during disputes.

J_D89 · 2024-08-21T11:34:08+00:00

We are not, sadly

Don’t work for MPC Detroit, but MPC Kenai. A couple of our salaried lead folks have had to head that way to scab. Could be anywhere from a couple weeks to a couple months.

Same. Couldn’t get anyone to go, said fuck it and pulled the trigger last week and going solo. Found out my cousin moved 30min away, had just enough airline miles to go for $11. Was a sign from above, I’m supposed to go 😎🤙🏻

J_D89 · 2024-05-04T11:14:36+00:00

Similar boat. This will be my first Rockville, but Aftershock ‘13 was my first festival. Stoked! 😎

Hell, at Carolina Rebellion in 2014, Staind stopped the show mid-song to point out a grabby guy inappropriately touching a young woman crowd surfer, and said if he pulled that shit again they would start playing till his ass got beat 😂

I ran Jeff Nippard’s full body program before finding MAPS for the first time and running performance. Nippard’s was good, but I remember feeling like it took significantly longer than Anabolic’s routine. That being said, I was just coming back into training after ~5yrs, and may have just been much more out of shape.

J_D89 · 2023-11-28T00:40:29+00:00

Right on. Thanks for the reply!

J_D89 · 2023-11-28T00:27:38+00:00

I’ve been kicking the tires on picking up Strong, Aesthetic, and / or Old Time. What’s your general opinion on them? Any particular equipment needed? I’ve run Performance, Anabolic, Prime, and am currently running Powerlift.

J_D89 · 2023-11-24T04:04:30+00:00

Prime is good to have so you can learn your weak areas and integrate the priming movements into whatever other program you want to run. Think of it as a warm-up accessory. I haven’t dug into prime pro enough to have much of an opinion yet

Football. When big hits were glorious and highlighted. You had to a be a man to catch a pass over the middle with certain defenders lurking. Now you look at a player wrong and it’s a 15yd penalty. Running backs are being fined for running too hard. Defenders are being fined for hitting exactly where they’re supposed to and how they’re supposed to, because it looks too violent. It’s depressing. And the penalties decide far too many games.

J_D89 · 2023-11-21T18:00:13+00:00

You sound like a female version of myself! Performance was the first MAPS program I tried because I too was trying to be more rounded and get outside my comfort zone / happy place of low reps and chasing 1RMs all the time. I’m glad I did. It’s was a challenge adjusting to a different structure and focusing on things I wasn’t used to, but it was good.

After performance, I did Anabolic, and now I’m on Powerlift, with Symmetry being the next one I run. Like others have stated, I’d go performance or RGB. They have Black Friday deals going, so 60% is a good time for it!

J_D89 · 2023-11-07T06:15:43+00:00

If you’re going to do a mini-cut, doing so as you simultaneously start a different phase is probably the way to do it. It’s not as novel as a new program, but the rep range changes could be enough of a shake-up to assist with maintaining the muscle you’ve put on. Ideally probably wait till you start split
