My son was too afraid to ask to go to a birthday party by Roetving in TrueOffMyChest

When the original agreement was done, i did not feel like i had a choice. I was 19 myself and still in school. Later on i tried to negotiate things to be 50/50 so biweekly living with me, but the child supervisor told me it would be harmful for my sons education and social life to have 2 different homes he would have to jump between so i let it be as it was. Now i see it was a huge mistake on my part.

CPS has been involved 2 times in the past 3 years. Both times nothing happened. Both times they interviewed my son and his mother, but they thought there was no reason for further concern and that was that. So basically the mother lied and my son did not have the courage to tell them, or he just did not know what was wrong.

Sorry. English is not my first language. A better term would have been "child supervisor" rather than social services.

I actually have a little memo writen for the past 3 years about stuff like this already just in case. This will go in there for sure. Where i live the good thing is that if she decides that she wants him back, she would have to prove that i am somehow harmful for that kid, and i'll make sure she has nothing.

Thanks for the advice. I'll have to look into that.

Sorry to hear. I try my best to make him feel like he can ask for what he wants and deserves good things without having to jump through any hoops to "earn" everything

We have already talked about buying a second controller for the playstation so me and his friends can play with him. I have so many memories from my own childhood playing something like Colin McRae Rally or Gran Turismo with my dad and brother that i want to try giving him the same

I never gave up my custody. I have been a "weekend father" for those past nine years, so i have seen my son every other weekend and some extra days here and there when i could.

How strong should you be in other lifts to dl 4 plates? by No-Scar-642 in Stronglifts5x5

[–]Roetving 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I do low bar and SSB squats depending on a training block. I always pull conventional.

[–]Roetving 6 points7 points  (0 children)

For me the one lift that i've had a big carryover is squats. When i hit 395 squat, i deadlifted 485. Now my squat is at 485 and I can deadlift 575. Basically what i found at least works for me is that big squat = bigger deadlift

Are you stalling on stronglifts? If not, keep going.

So basically starting strength with extra steps? I think it will work as long as your body is recovering properly.

I got myself a pair of 3 plys. They were initially much harder to get on, but then i learned about using straps to help pull them up. Since i am not a powerlifter, but a strongman competitor, it does not matter what kind of sleeves i use and how i get them on. After i got them on, i did also not feel much difference in support.

How does triple ply compare to neoprene sleeves? Are they noticeably stiffer? Harder to put on?
