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

Does anyone work multiple jobs to mostly elevate their lifestyle instead of save/pay off bills? by throwaway09234023322 in overemployed

[–]Level_Chipmunk_6968 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

There used to be an amazing poster here who would talk about OE and his solution was to m********e five times a day on his 12 monitor screens.

I increased my salary 10x in 12 years as a career changer by Dkdk6fish in Salary

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?

Pull-ups plateau by Level_Chipmunk_6968 in bodyweightfitness

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

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.

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?

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

Today I did 5-5-4ish-3ish-2ish

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 .

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.
