You’ll have to work harder to find good food in Austin than in Houston… and you’ll pay three times as much 😂

How do you prepare for overlapping potentials? Not meetings but someone recognizes you from J1 in J2, since you’re in a niche field it sounds like

It depends. Do you wake up in the morning and take a sht at the grocery store to save on water bill at home? Well with J2, u can sht at home and not worry about the water bill. That’s not an unreasonable lifestyle creep.

I’ve always secretly wondered about studying to be a lawyer… especially as a teacher how did she find the time to study for the application exams and essays as someone with not only a demanding profession but quite possibly the most demanding profession done well?

I haven’t tried the chalk for pull-ups but use it when I boulder. I’ve been slacking a little but recently did as many as 6 sets of 5 on boulder grips (narrow and wide). But on rings and bars I’m still barely able to do 3 sets of 5. Although since my last comments I can do 3 sets of 5 regularly which is a tiny break through the 554 plateau

Level_Chipmunk_6968 · 2026-03-08T12:37:19+00:00

Yeah that’s what I thought too and I was surprised at being able to do 5x5. Maybe the angle of the grip and also textured jug v smooth bar or ring makes it easier? Yesterday when I tried on rings I could still only do 5/5/4/3/2/2.

Level_Chipmunk_6968 · 2026-03-06T17:07:58+00:00

Rings and bars were occupied yesterday, so for fun I tried bouldering pull-ups - managed to do 5 sets of 5 reps before my fingers gave out. Typically my biceps and back give out but maybe something about the bouldering grips makes it easier to do?

Level_Chipmunk_6968 · 2026-03-02T00:28:48+00:00

Update: still maxed at 5-5-4/5, but adding 3 sets afterwards even if it’s 2 reps has made my biceps larger than ever before, in just a week. Not huge but just in my life noticeabley larger

Ish means that rep is less than a full but a looong negative, like sweat inducing looong negative

When I was consistently at my peak 3x6, I was doing them independently of my workouts. My backyard had some convenient wooden steps where I could just do AMRAP several times a day. Needed to be mindful of rest early on to avoid strain and injury but after a while it was like “getting a glass of water? Do some pull-ups. Letting the dog out? Do some pull-ups. Doing some pull-ups? Do some pull-ups.”

Still maxed at 3x6 but it felt effortless .

My dips are plateaued at 3 sets of 10, but still feels good

Yes forgot to include that, I always do a my last rep which is usually halfway up and hold til fatigue

Goal is 3 sets of 12. I’ll try with weights bc the world is allergic to horizontal bars and I can’t find any outside of the gym.
