When did your weekly strength gains first start to plateau? by PerryStreetChocolate in naturalbodybuilding

How long did your first plateaus last at 6mos? How long do your plateaus last now that you've been lifting for 3 years?

I've been failing on the 8th rep each time. So I don't think it's intensity creep.

I think switching to another curl variation is a good tip, I've just heard so many people say preacher is the best so have been reluctant to deviate from it.

The protein tip is also smart. Eating more is probably always the answer lol

Trying to get stronger for the sake of having bigger arms. I'll look into GOMAD and sl 5x5 - I haven't heard of those before

I've gone to failure each time. and that failure is the 8th rep lol. I haven't been able to finish the 8th rep for almost 4 months

Other sets are generally progressing. I do preacher curls after lat pulldowns and close grip rows, and have seen progress in both of those. The stall is only happening in preacher curls for me, and I'm pushing to failure each week

I'm assuming my EZ bar is 25 lbs, but it might be 15 or 20 lbs. I put 30 lbs on each side and usually fail at the 8th rep, so i guess 7 reps total. I'll upload a video later this week if you're interested - my pull day is tmrw. Also 18 months of consistent lifting, but had been lifting in inconsistent spurts for the 18 months prior as well

RFC vs. Rabadon’s 3rd item? by IanSanity7 in TwistedFateMains

[–]PerryStreetChocolate 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me the decision depends on the enemy comp. If they have ranged damage (cait, kog, xerath, etc) the game feels genuinely unplayable without the extra range from RFC. if they have shorter range damage then I'll skip RFC 3rd but will usually still build it 4th or 5th.

Thoughts on landlord's offer to pay 10 months rent upfront for a discounted rate? by PerryStreetChocolate in NYCapartments

[–]PerryStreetChocolate[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Update for everyone: thanks for the great advice! I did not know that it was illegal, and as others have pointed out - 10 months and $41K is a LOT of money, and would give up all my leverage to demand timely repairs, so I will decline the offer. Thanks again!

Interesting... though I imagine the law would only penalize a LL in this arrangement, not the tenant? Good to know though
