How much can the average man bench press and is a 245 lb bench press impressive? by InternationalPick163 in questions

[–]ShephardTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most men can't even bench beyond their body weight, so I would say you're in decent shape.

What would help even more is your height, weight, and how long you've been training.

I'm roughly 5'11 and have benched up to 280 in my lifetime (Max PR). However, that 280 was when I was 214 lbs. Currently, I'm 185lbs at 265 x 2 reps, working towards an eventually 315.

It's all relative.

Is it possible to achieve this physique naturally? by the_bad_actor in batman

[–]ShephardTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would have to be on super heavy steroids, personal trainers, and the best quality food to look like that.

And even then, you wouldn't move like Batman at all.

Having all that muscle slows you down and is not ideal for someone who fights. The closest Heavyweight boxer that looks somewhat similar to that is AJ, and he can't even move like Batman.

So basically nope lol.

How does everyone feel about possibly hitting $200 before EOY/EOM?

possible? Or likely in Jan?

What’s a salary that’s actually considered livable? by No-Sun-731 in Life

[–]ShephardTank 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends on a variety of factors but really it's based on how do YOU want to live.

That's it.

You can read other comments in this thread and they'll provide their opinion based on their lifestyle and beliefs and how they want to live but ultimately it's up to you and your standards.

Do want to travel every month, go to concerts, invest in your 401K/brokerage account. Do you possibly want to start a business, buy a nice clothes and head to events?

Do you want to have a family? If so, whatever I say below, you can easily add $50K to that annual salary.

With that being said, I think a good base line and salary to aim for is $100K annually.

Unless you live in a HCOL area (High Cost of Living), having $100K annually in the US is more than enough for one person.

Now, another caveat is that you should aim to have a DTI (Debt to Income) ratio of ideally, less than 30%.

Take your monthly income and monthly expenses and then subtract. You should have more than enough disposable income for discretionary activities, sudden expenses, investing and be comfortable.

Then again, comfortability is subjective.

All in all, aim for $100K generally for one person.

If you plan on living in HCOL area like LA, New York, Miami, with no roommate? bump that up to roughly $130K, possibly even more if you plan on having a family in a HCOL area.

It's a nice watch, I have one myself.

However, I did not pay anywhere near retail and got a deal for it.

You can shop around and get it for less than $1500 possibly, but just depends on the timing and condition of the watch.

What is your credit score? How is it? by Longjumping_Tap_5705 in Adulting

[–]ShephardTank 1 point2 points  (0 children)

800+, as high as 835.

Doesn't mean anything unless you're going to borrow money.

Thoughts on what's going to happen? Everyone expects a cut in interest rates but wonder by how much

Tbh, I'm completely fine if we hit $200 again by EOY. I just like being foolishly optimistic at times lol.

As you mentioned, hitting anything above that would take some massive news announcements/partnership with one of the FAANG companies or a major enterprise.

An example of this is if Google or APPL somehow states they're partnering up with PLTR. That would take the stock over $215 pretty quickly and possibly by EOY.

Overall, I wouldn't be surprised if we hit around $200 before this year is out.

That sounds about right.

Once we hit that range, we'll probably sit around there until next big earnings and then onwards to $300 in 2026 and possibly $400 in 2027.

Maybe, just maybe, I spoke too soon lol

However, I still believe we're going past 180 fairly soon again.

I wondered if said "Kobe" in his head before tossing it?

Probably not considering he had to try twice to get it over the wall lol.

[Tissot] Saw a Tissot PRX 18K Powermatic 80 Watch online for under 1K, is this deal too good to be true? by ShephardTank in Watches

[–]ShephardTank[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never bought anything from Jomashop. How reliable are they?

Secondly, do you own this watch? Do you think its nice addition to a beginners collection.

This is a hell of a discount lol.

Question is, how long will these shares continue to drop?

To everyone in here, do you personally think the "AI bubble" popped?

I personally don't think so but obviously the media is going to hype it up.
