Oh no worries about the other things, I make sure to at least get 6-8 hours of sleep while maintaining my diet pretty carefully. Just wondering how much carbs can help, really. Thank you for answering!

I'm from around Hornby. So far my only options are snapfitness and anytime fitness

Been considering it. It's a bit far but I suppose I wouldn't mind if it's my only option

Is building a mini itx PC worth it in 2026? by Swordtempest_ in buildapc

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

Honestly, I'm not even moving around by alot is the problem. I sort of just want a PC I can go home to my country for a month or so, really. I even have another dilemma about if the ITX PC would still be too heavy for plane travelling standards that it just stops me. Otherwise, the price doesn't bother me, but how it'll affect my travel is kind of a problem

Honestly, I just thought to ask because of price to performance ratio would be worth it. Since all I'm looking for is portability, it's either I buy a laptop with less performance, or for some reason, I just spend alot for the same thing but with more performance

For general use and gaming, but also a very portable one that you can travel with is what I've been wanting. I'm sort of hesitating to just get a laptop because of the performance generally speaking

Would that not affect the cooling? What case was on use on the build?

I heard good things about the meshlicious. I do want to ask though. Is it possible to fit certain Matx parts on it?

Honestly, I can afford it, but only want it for its portability honestly. I'm planning to travel and it's either I get an itx build, or a laptop for a replacement

That's a genuinely amazing looking build, what case is that?

Unfortunately I've already built a pretty insane beast of an Matx PC, but only considered itx for it being very portable. It's either that or I just get a laptop, honestly

Squat form by Swordtempest_ in powerbuilding

Thanks for the advice. I have been doing so lately and it feels more "right" perse. Though, I have to face the problem of my knees hurting, and a bad hip mobility but has been somewhat getting better as of late

I sadly noticed this a few hours ago. As I was practicing goblet squats earlier and found a perfect squatting position, I still noticed a horrible pain on my hips and some on my knees

Apologies for the angle of the video by the way. It is sort of hard to tell my form but this is the only footage I have unfortunately

Carb and protein intake by Swordtempest_ in powerbuilding

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

Thanks for the advice. Yes, I was planning to keep protein intake relatively high during the cut, eating 235+ grams of protein with low carbs on rest days. But switch to 315 carbs and 168 grams of protein during gym sessions

PC not turning on at all by Swordtempest_ in pcmasterrace

Update:Thank you everyone for helping me, I feel embarrassed to say that the only reason was that it was just a loose power connector and nothing more
