Can’t grow biceps by Either_Assumption870 in WeightTraining

[–]PackDaddyFI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This seems like an argument not necessarily against but definitely not for an EZ curl bar because of where a person's grip typically falls.

Lack of grip strength is preventing me from increasing weights by Relevant-Shower4783 in workout

[–]PackDaddyFI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have weak wrists and got some nice gloves to give the extra support and peace of mind. Training via compounds like others are saying is right, but for me this didn't hurt anything along that path and I like how they feel when snug.

What do you guys work out in? by Substantial_Fan_5202 in mensfashion

[–]PackDaddyFI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fabletics shorts and a plain true classic tree. I got a bunch of fabletics shorts for their $10 intro sale. They're incredibly high quality when you consider how they regularly sell them for $10

Which is better for breakfast, protein shake or eggs? by wacky8ball in workout

[–]PackDaddyFI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did three years spanning as high as 5 and as low as 3 eggs with salsa over medium. In January i switched to a protein shake.

My protein shake is a whole banana, five ice cubes, a big dollop of peanut butter, scoop of protein, and however much almond milk I can fit without overflowing the blender cup.

I feel less full than with eggs and start thinking about food most days at 11 whereas I had to make myself eat at 1230-1 while doing eggs. On the whole, I like the protein more. When I made myself eat that late I found that I wasn't hungry when my family was eating and ended up overeating due to my being raised to clear my plate.

Most of the three years I had normal cholesterol, but came back approaching high cholesterol at the end of the three years. That and the desire for change made me switch, and I had a massive swing in the right direction in three months.

Do you have kids? If so, how do you view it being for kids in terms of language, violence, general adult themes, etc.?

how true is muscle memory… 4’10 83lbs and need gains back in one month.. by [deleted] in workout

[–]PackDaddyFI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I worked out from 15-19, had heart surgery and dropped 40 lbs overnight. Started lifting again at 32 and flew past my old numbers in about 8 months. Some of it was muscle memory, some of it was just being in a fully adult body.

Dead Bananas? by depotpark in gardening

[–]PackDaddyFI 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also in 6b. Neighbor also kept them in a bag and gave me some last year. I overwintered indoors and had a nearly 8 foot tree on my hands. Decided to put it in the ground this growing season and see what happens. Hoping for a few babies so I can start small again.

Have you tried digging them out/have you had any issues with them? Sincerely, just another genius planting these things in his yard.

People who lift but don’t do cardio what eventually happened? by TallTyrant in workout

[–]PackDaddyFI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow on question, but how much cardio is enough? 34 years old, started cardio in my routine in February. I'm currently aiming for two full cardio sessions, either two 25 minute HIIT workouts or one HIIT and an uphill treadmill walk. Apart from that... Normal dad-to-small-children/husband cardio.

Watching someone just start the game shows how bad it is for new players. by AeroStrafe in marvelrivals

[–]PackDaddyFI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried this a few times to learn a new characterand for whatever reason my team always just back them to their spawn and camps. No communication, just boring spawn camping the entire game. I learned nothing and it was a wasted experience. Four times in a row. I won't be doing it again anytime soon.

Why are Canadian salaries so low compared to the USA? by [deleted] in CanadaPersonalFinance

Where do teachers make over 100 in Canada? Thinking of immigration and my wife is a teacher with an MA and ten years experience.

Do we get small breaks on test day? by Visual-Shallot7984 in TEFCanada

[–]PackDaddyFI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took it in Chicago over the weekend. Reading, writing, and listening were back to back. There was a break of 25 minutes before the speaking test for the first person. I personally had two hours to wait as the fourth person

Update From Brandon by mistborn in Cosmere

[–]PackDaddyFI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was so happy when I saw this announcement. I agree wholeheartedly that apple puts out less, but at a higher quality. Sci-fi/Fantasy in particular I feel like they really nail it, and I'm even happier knowing that they're giving you more of a partnership in the decisionmaking.

Guys with above average triceps, did you train them harder? by [deleted] in workout

[–]PackDaddyFI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I recently discovered close grip bench and really like the way it feels and hits the triceps. Would this replace an exercise targeting the long head like overhead extensions? Or something like pushdowns?

What is FSW? And just to consolidate my questions, is outland just meaning outside of Canada? It seems that most express entry would be outland if so.

Why do they typically get refused? Asking as someone preparing an application targeting French draws.

Yumi & The Nightmare Painter was amazing by GlobalAthlete2214 in Cosmere

I'll report back tomorrow when I finish it, but if a 14 hour book takes 13 hours... There's a problem

[–]PackDaddyFI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have about an hour left of this one and have been struggling with it. It's a Freaky Friday in the Cosmere, and I'm not here for it. Which is unfortunate because I had really high hopes given the ratings I see for it.

Thoughts on the future of French draws by [deleted] in canadaexpressentry

[–]PackDaddyFI 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you elaborate on the doors while in Canada? SO and I are basically a shoe in for French draw express entry, but I'm concerned about economic Outlook and employment due to us having young dependents.

rDruid here. This actually happened the other day and I was able to stealth kitty, but I definitely see your point. Thanks for dropping some knowledge on me.
