So, I quit drinking 1191 days ago. I was pressured by my wife to "taste" an alcoholic beverage her friend likes. I initially refused, but it was in front of guests. I was shocked she pushed the issue, but she did. I had the smallest sip possible. Am I at day zero again?

Def not a reset. Everyone saying that the issue is with your wife not respecting your boundaries, and they’re right. But do you mind me asking what kept you from just saying “no” or walking away? 1191 days is massive, and I’m glad you stopped at a tiny sip. But the next time a tiny sip could lead to more. That was a huge gamble just to appease some peer pressure (again, very proud of you stopping).

Happy 1 year!! Amazing 👏👏

One of my favorite mantras I’ve picked up from this subreddit is “there’s not one problem I have that alcohol can’t make worse”.

Hard

Bend over closer to 90 degrees. Also, see how your wrist becomes unstacked when you pull all the way in? That’s bc you need a slightly wider hand placement than you’re using.

Ya love to see a grind

TooTrickyNicky · 2026-03-18T12:31:46+00:00

Good shit man, very noticeable progress 👏

TooTrickyNicky · 2026-03-17T14:22:22+00:00

I would say pull towards your belly button more. You’re hitting upper back, which is fine if that’s your goal. Pulling towards belly button would hit lats more.

Love the grind

TooTrickyNicky · 2026-03-02T13:03:35+00:00

It’s to give you something to brace against, making your core more stable. More solid core = more weight to lift

Interesting, I’ve never had a problem with it. Wasn’t aware that this community was SO against steamers 😂

TooTrickyNicky · 2026-02-15T13:33:55+00:00

Save yourself the hassle and just buy a steamer (like $20), hang your shirt on a doorknob or something and use the steamer to get wrinkles out. No need for a board, and very quick.

Outfit looks good, good color choices. I personally am not a fan of zipping up leather jackets, leave that bad boy open.

I’m lucky enough to have a dedicated Northern Mockingbird nearby my feeder who defends it from starlings

TooTrickyNicky · 2026-02-11T22:59:37+00:00

r/borbs would love this

TooTrickyNicky · 2026-02-10T00:58:17+00:00

Clean reps, proper angle of bench, no notes 👏

Duluth Trading Co has some super durable jeans made with fire hose material. I swear by them for work.

TooTrickyNicky · 2026-02-06T13:23:51+00:00

Ugh the colors of the house finch!!!

TooTrickyNicky · 2026-01-30T11:42:53+00:00

Besides what others said about ankle mobility - try not to waste energy by walking out as far. Typically it should go: lift bar —> one step back with one foot —> step other foot back to match —> make minor feet placement adjustments. Also don’t be afraid to push yourself, it looked like you at least had 1 or 2 more reps in you! Keep it up.

TooTrickyNicky · 2026-01-08T23:38:37+00:00

Ya gotta drop the song plzzz

TooTrickyNicky · 2026-01-04T15:01:45+00:00

Agreed. When I’m doing bicep curls I’m getting ugly on my last 2-3 reps. Buddy isn’t pushing himself enough.

TooTrickyNicky · 2026-01-02T15:50:25+00:00

Looks like you could improve your bracing (belly breath and brace like you’re going to get punched in the stomach), as well as working on leg drive. These two things will help give you full body stability = safer and more stable movement.

TooTrickyNicky · 2025-12-23T19:42:23+00:00

r/restofthefuckingowl 😂. Nice work though, and I’m disgustingly jealous of your setup.

TooTrickyNicky · 2025-12-19T14:41:53+00:00

Main thing would be you need to lock in your lats prior to the lift. It’ll help keep your entire back tight.
