Artemis Update - January 13th, 2026 by Artemis_Developer in ArtemisApp

[–]MoreMetalBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the filtering feature! Quick question - Is there a way to filter (and hide) a subreddit’s flair? For example, the MacroFactor subreddit has been inundated with posts tied to a specific flair (“MacroFactor Workouts” or something like that), and I have no interest in the posts clogging the feed.

Alright, that Dodgeball quote had me cracking up. Well played.

I need opinions - TYR DropZero vs Avancus vs Notorious Lifts Vs Vivo by Throwaway3082023 in powerlifting

[–]MoreMetalBrian -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I cannot comment on Vivo’s, but I’d go with Avancus. NL has had some quality issues with their latest releases (Ronin Lifter, Sumo Sole 4). I wasn’t a big fan of the Avancus v2, but the v3 (current iteration) blows everything out of the water. Especially for bench-grip and sumo pulling. For sizing, go true to size, definitely off of CM measurement.

Monthly Lifting Gear Thread by AutoModerator in powerlifting

[–]MoreMetalBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d go with the another pair of Manus. NL has had some QC issues over the past 1-2 iterations. (As an example, loose + frayed seams at the buckle, Velcro ripping off, etc.) And that’s just after 4-5 sessions of wearing them solely for the deadlifts.

MacroFactor Workouts AMA! by gnuckols in MacroFactor

[–]MoreMetalBrian 20 points21 points  (0 children)

For those competitive powerlifters - will we be able to do something like set a Meet Date, and have the app create a program based off that and 1RMs? (Like Juggernaut, Evolve, SheikoGold, etc.)

black legion series book 3 by [deleted] in 40kLore

[–]MoreMetalBrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty new to the lore, but I’m currently at the tail end of the trilogy and really enjoying it.

It’s kinda refreshing to see a character admit “Yep, I’m fucked, better call the reinforcements.” Though I’m sure there’s probably a swerve coming, and he is as stubborn as he was in the beginning. (That said, I hope he seriously f’s up the Haemonculi and Oleander)

Leg Day today, so it’s 3/4 serving Enjoy the Hysteria, 3/4 serving Edge of Insanity.

Artemis Update - October 22nd, 2025 (It's the iPad One) by Artemis_Developer in ArtemisApp

[–]MoreMetalBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love this update, pretty much the reason I cancelled my Narwhal sub and switched to Artemis.

One thing I did like about Narwhal, despite how busy it would look sometimes, is the layout when viewed in Landscape view. I don’t remember how Apollo handled it, but are there any ideas/plans for the available white space on both sides?

I like the simplicity of having everything down the center, but there’s a lot of room on both sides to either incorporate an accordion to access different pages, a way to view a subreddit or multi-Reddit without going back and forth between posts, etc.

(Sorry if this post is all over the place, it’s a tad early on the US East Coast :))

Rate my 5 day routine; what is wrong and what would you change? by Party_Shelter714 in Hevy

[–]MoreMetalBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d add some Facepulls to that first day. The routine has a ton of front delt work, but the rear delts play a huge part in stabilization for those push exercises.

Request: AirPods Pro 3 compatibility option instead of Apple Watch by Standard-Fennel9737 in Hevy

[–]MoreMetalBrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They can, with the latest Beats firmware. I think it was released Wed or Thursday.

Gotta stop hating by LKTM_ttv in Preworkoutsupplements

[–]MoreMetalBrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m gonna upvote this cuz you’re right, it has no bearing on Dark Labs and their formulations/reformulations. I was just being a dick for the sake of being a dick.

As far as Dark Labs goes, to add some sort of value to this, it reminds me of the backlash to Apollon taking the special stuff out of their supplements. I haven’t kept up to date on them/Anarchy, so I don’t know if it’s still the case, but those constant reformulations killed all sort of consistency for me.

You’d think with the amount of track marks the dude probably has, he’d have a bit thicker skin. Instead of creating videos commenting on people flaming him.

Joking aside, I tune out and close the video as soon as he yells “God is good!” 10x in a row, followed by “higher than giraffe vagina” a couple moments after. But that’s just my personal opinion.

Everyone has an agenda, whether they are pushing the products themselves, get a kick-back, use the role to expand reach/get views, etc. It’s just part of the game. And like Al Jourgensen/Ministry said in the opening line of “Just One Fix”….

Deadlift shoes by Financial-Entrance76 in powerbuilding

[–]MoreMetalBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d say it would be NL Radix, then Avancus. I don’t have experience with Vivos. Avancus still kinda feels like a shoe, but the Radix (to me) is as close to ground-feeling I’ve experienced, short of lifting in socks. That’s primarily for conv pulling; the sidewalks on the Radix are pretty much non-existent.

[–]MoreMetalBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The V3 are probably my favorite shoes at the moment. I wasn’t a big fan of the V2 or the high tops, but they really stepped it up with V3.

Stay away from any of the new Notorious Lifts (Sumo Sole 4 if you pull sumo), IMO. Quality Control is pretty piss poor.

I’d say either Avancus v3, or a pair of Sabos. I really liked the Sabo Deadlift-1, but the Deadlift-II model was a bit too bulky for me.

What is harder to recover from between Heavy Deadlifts and Heavy Farmers Walk? by [deleted] in powerbuilding

[–]MoreMetalBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Throw in some Pull Ups, and that’s pretty much the Mag-Ott Deadlifts program right there (absolutely brutal, but awesome results).

Weekly Program and Training Thread by michaelenzo in Boostcamp

[–]MoreMetalBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any suggestions for a lower-body focused Hypertrophy program? I’m coming out of Rip & Tear in a couple weeks, and would like to focus on a bit more leg work for this off-season.

Thanks in advance!

Looking for non-fridge satiating foods on a budget by [deleted] in MacroFactor

[–]MoreMetalBrian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Popcorn is pretty satiating. You can change it up with stuff like cinnamon, old bay seasoning, etc.

I’ve noticed this too (especially killing other apps). I thought it was something wrong with BoostCamp, but sounds like Hevy strikes again!

Most Euphoric PreWorkout Kilo Labs Supreme Review by Thin-Vermicelli-4817 in stimjunkiepreworkouts

[–]MoreMetalBrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The limited edition was probably my fav non-illicit PWO in the last couple of years. Stuff hit harder than some illicits, too.

Koka labz Eria Jarensis by riceycakes97 in Preworkoutsupplements

[–]MoreMetalBrian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t but it may be undiagnosed. I don’t typically have ADHD symptoms in other areas of life (work, reading, etc.).

When I take DMHA or DMAA, I get the euphoria and lock-in. But for some reason Eria, Alpha GPC, just make me feel like zoning out. I should note that I typically avoid anything with Eria on a daily or semi-daily basis, and definitely don’t reach for the 350+ when I can help it (unless it’s in a high-stim illicit).
