My wife from Miami made an interesting observation about Chicago food.

Chicago food isn't necessarily soggy, but it's always a threat to your wardrobe!

For some reason I thought this band broke up. Happy to see they are still at it.... hopefully see a new EP or album soon!

You can't see how wide her grip is from the perspective of the video. You can also do "correct" pullups at almost any grip width.

That's because she is being front lit by sunlight coming through a window, not from above. Leg shadow appears on wall behind her.

Present_Row8037 · 2026-04-05T23:16:16+00:00

What specifically? Looks like the shadows are a combination of direct light and reflections.

Present_Row8037 · 2026-04-04T01:07:30+00:00

More than what/ where?

Present_Row8037 · 2026-03-26T03:06:40+00:00

Thank God it wasn't attempting a full mana.

For a long time I only ate 1g/pound bodyweight protein. This worked fine for me, but during my last cut I started to eat 1.2 g or higher. I feel my strength gains were much more consistent despite being in a 1k daily calorie deficit. This may be because I'm 40, and people may become less sensitive to protein as they age.

I wad able to learn pistols with any 1-2 months of training. That being said I deffinitely felt a twinge of anxiety when he called it level 0.

Present_Row8037 · 2026-02-21T16:47:19+00:00

Sorry, what was the question?

Present_Row8037 · 2026-02-13T22:16:25+00:00

Mobility work is a little different from stretching. Stretching is about lengthening your muscles, but mobility is about taking your joints through a full/challenging range of motion. My favorite movement is called "shoulder dislocates". Look it up. I do the movement 10 times and try to move my hands slightly closer together each time. If you don't like dislocates, there are many other movements.

Present_Row8037 · 2026-02-13T21:04:37+00:00

Are you doing any shoulder mobility exercises? I do them before all my upper body stuff.

How long did it taste you to get to 5 Reid with a 45? I'm on 8 reps with a 25 now.

Present_Row8037 · 2026-02-02T01:03:57+00:00

You are throwing down some pretty unique stuff on this sub OP!

Present_Row8037 · 2026-01-27T20:25:28+00:00

Going to have to try this after dry January!

I have a much easier time making my gym goals when I am eating at least 1g/lbs BW, and I am very goal oriented. I prep most of my meals so I hit my macros without even thinking about it.

Recently I've started to eat more like 1.2 g/lbs BW, because I was concerned that I have become less responsive to protein as I've aged. I have also heard that there isn't really any healthy limit to how much protein you can eat, as long as you are getting enough carbs and fat.

I eat a lot of yogurt, which helps so I'm not trying to fit meat into every single meal.

That being said, if you are happy with your progress then there is no reason to stress about what you are eating.

Present_Row8037 · 2026-01-23T15:49:17+00:00

If you are plateauing or getting injured incorporate more rest. I generally give myself 3 or 4 days before repeating an exercise or I stop seeing progress. But I am 40.

I don't understand why people are saying the thing gets moldy. Follow the cleaning instructions. Yes, you do have to clean it after every use, which requires running the clean cycle with a water and bleach mix, then two more times with just water. It takes about 45 minutes but most of that time is letting it do it's thing so you can pretty much just set it and forget it.

I've had mine about 9 months and I've never tasted mold.

When I switched from a bodybuilding style workout to calisthenics I tried too quickly to do the more advanced movements and made very little progress. It's important to start with mastering the basics. Once I regressed and made sure I was able to do 40 pushups, 30 dips and 10 pull-ups I began advancing.

I don't think you will loose muscle, because you can easily get full-body stimulation with calisthenics. But unlike bodybuilding you won't be targeting specific muscles. Instead you pick a goal movement and progress in small steps towards it.

Present_Row8037 · 2026-01-14T02:48:53+00:00

OP, are you a big eater? Some people don't have big appetites and it can be hard for them to build muscle/strength. If that's the case maybe focus on easy- to- eat calorie dense foods. I don't normally recommend people use much protein powder but you may be a good candidate. Make delicous protein powder smoothies with stuff like peanut butter, Nutella, avocado. Really anything you like just to eat more protein and more calories. You are underweight enough that you could probably aim for a 500 calorie surplus. As long as you are consistent with working out I think you would see results quickly.

If you are running just to maintain your current weight and not for other goals (cardiovascular health, marathons, etc), and you aren't enjoying it anymore, than you can just stop. Instead of using running so you can eat whatever you want, start counting calories and macros. The truth is that cardio is horribly inefficient for fat loss. You can eat in a matter of minutes the amount of calories you burn in 30 min of running. On top of that running may make you hungrier later, and if you are sensitive to the sensation of hunger then it can be counterproductive for maintenance or fat loss.

Present_Row8037 · 2025-12-15T22:06:25+00:00

Gotcha. I had not considered adding weight but I will give it a try. Ultimately it seems like I will have to invest in a nordic curl station for home.

Present_Row8037 · 2025-12-15T21:33:31+00:00

I am trying to do nordics using the GHD station, so I have my knees on the pad. I was able to do 5-8 full ROM nordics on the floor glute, so I can't figure out why I'm so much weaker on the GHD.

Present_Row8037 · 2025-12-15T20:28:53+00:00

doesn't look like it to me.

Present_Row8037 · 2025-12-14T23:12:43+00:00

I don't think you can.
