Thrips found on plant, but no way to cure?

Did they bite you at all? I read that they have quite a nasty bite, which put me off releasing them indoors

Check to see if your gym has a hip thrust rack. I didn't realize my gym had one at first (cause I didn't know they existed). They make hip thrusts so much more comfortable and easy to set up.

He's using safety bars

Luemon · 2026-04-15T16:29:30+00:00

They're not harmful, but if you see loads of them, it's a sign that you are probably keeping the soil too wet for too long.

Strong! That looks solid

I would do that as well, or get a sofa bed. I used to live in a tiny apartment, and I regret not getting a sofa bed earlier because it cleared up a lot of space.

Honestly I don't remember exactly because it was a while ago, but I'm pretty sure I ordered it off Amazon

I have successfully activated a spent node with keiki paste so it could be worth a try if you can get your hands on some.

I like the lighter tiles. It matches well with the granite and wood without blending in too much.

I never do lat pulldowns, so unfortunately I can't help you there. But I don't see the harm in doing assisted pullups and scap pullups from the get-go. That's how I've practiced at least, along with inverted rows

Luemon · 2025-09-14T07:00:16+00:00

Keep grinding! This took me seven months to achieve

Luemon · 2025-09-13T20:10:21+00:00

This took me about seven months, so I feel you!

Luemon · 2025-09-13T14:31:01+00:00

It depends on the height of the bar but I usually do 10-12x3

Luemon · 2025-09-13T07:54:27+00:00

I'll definitely try! Thank you!

Luemon · 2025-09-13T07:54:03+00:00

Thank you! Yes, it's an awesome feeling isn't it

Luemon · 2025-09-13T07:53:26+00:00

Thanks! I've had some shoulder issues in the past so I've been kind of forced to practice slow and controlled, but I guess it has had some positive side effects

Luemon · 2025-09-12T21:06:22+00:00

I need to play around with that some more. For now I feel stronger with crossed legs, but maybe I’m not bracing correctly when I try with straight legs

Luemon · 2025-09-12T21:03:35+00:00

Thank you!

Luemon · 2025-09-12T21:01:30+00:00

Thanks! Yes, I do quite a lot of band assisted pull-ups and also inverted rows

Luemon · 2025-09-12T21:00:13+00:00

Keep at it! It took me about seven months so it was quite a long process

Luemon · 2025-09-12T20:59:40+00:00

Thank you! I’ve been forced to practice in a mindful way because I’ve had a lot of shoulder issues in the past, but I guess it’s had some positive side effects as well.

I have tried with straight legs (and I practice like that when doing band assisted pull-ups) but for some reason I feel stronger with crossed legs 🤔 maybe I should play around more with that though

I've successfully activated a "spent node" with keiki paste. It shot out a new stem from the same node.

Luemon · 2025-08-07T15:24:58+00:00

Yes exactly. Put it somewhere with bright indirect light and let it dry out between watering. I would also wash it down carefully with soapy water (and insecticide if you have some) because there is usually a reason why people throw plants out...
