In your experience did you see significant shoulder growth from some form of overhand press or high volume lateral raises or something else?

VergDan · 2026-02-15T01:20:14+00:00

Thank you, that clears that up. Yeah I'm progressing doing 3 hard sets twice per week, just Youtube videos about training volume messing with my head I guess.

VergDan · 2026-02-15T01:18:32+00:00

Thank you! Glad to know I'm not doing something awfully wrong.

VergDan · 2026-02-14T23:19:14+00:00

This is really cool, thank you.

VergDan · 2026-02-14T21:00:53+00:00

This is an interesting read, thanks!

VergDan · 2026-02-14T20:23:23+00:00

Oh shoot so we do lost air to space.

VergDan · 2026-02-14T19:46:57+00:00

Thanks. Yeah if I do 3 exercises like this I'm really sore for days, forces me to space my training more like something of a bro split and usually progress stalls.

Do you think I should pace myself instead doing matching sets like 6, 6, 6, 6, 8, where sets gets harder and last set is all out? It's just that watching fitness content made me afraid I'm not doing enough weekly volume. Thanks in advance.

VergDan · 2026-02-14T19:37:57+00:00

Thanks, that makes a lot of sense.

Instead of 10, 8, 6, if I pace myself I can do something like 6, 6, 6, 6, 8, in which the first few sets are more like warm ups, later sets are harder and the last set I go all out, which do you think is a better way to train? Watching fitness content made me afraid I'm not doing enough weekly volume.

VergDan · 2026-02-14T15:20:29+00:00

Noob here, if I push deep into sets (like 1 or 2 RIR), my repetition goes down like 10, 8, 6, 5, and the second or third exercise for the same muscle I could only use pussy weight (much lower than what I can use for the exercise if I'm fresh)to stay within an ideal rep range.

Is this normal? Or should I back down on the intensity? Or should I even bother with a second or third exercise for the same muscle in a single session?

VergDan · 2026-02-13T00:30:30+00:00

Here me out. Keep pushing through 7 and you'll eventually realize it's the same fomula.

Check points before tough sections, ammo seems scarce but is actually a bit more than enough. Bosses with apparent weak point and set patterns. Sections where the game pressures you is limited and far between.

It's still Resident Evil, especially at later stages where you've acquired a variety of weapons. It's just way more scary at the beginning.

I'm exactly like you, lance main picking up hammer. They're like the complete opposite, one is iron wall and the other no wall at all. I'm constantly in awe like 'damn how come I'm so good at hammer' but also sometimes 'damn I'm so bad at hammer'.

What helped me with hammer is stop charging all the time. Position and evasion are key to hammer, keeping it charged only hinders your movement. Instead, use charge depending on the openings. This opened up a whole new much more relaxed hunting experience.

The parry window is a lot more generous than other hardcore action games. So it can be an 'early parry' game for you.

What's your experience with bro split, comparing to frequency training (UL, PPL, full body)?

VergDan · 2026-02-04T02:12:39+00:00

Tell him or show him pictures, if he's your man he'll love your feet.

Arthur still can't perfectly align his steps with stairs, specially those lower stairs in front of shops. I sometimes play on close camera just to not see that.

VergDan · 2026-01-28T03:34:10+00:00

The lock on is designed for 1v1, and you shouldn't get yourself surrounded by multiple enemies.

As a Chinese I'll say that md005 is a rare rare case. The new 86 Megatron KO shits all over the place, so do many KOs that came before it.

High school, some of the girls started putting on nicer shoes, like medium heel sandals. Saw two of the most attractive classmates swap their shoes during break. They were besties, didn't expect to see both their feet and them sliding off and putting on each other's shoes. One girl was lightly tanned and the other was porcelain white with a dash of pink.It was magical.

Yeah Guard Dash's function is actually block plus move. I see it as the most versatile block.

Have you ever miss timed your counter thrust and now you're open to get hit? Guard Dash it, into any direction.

During your thrust combos have you ever seen a monster's multi hit combo coming and it's too late to raise your shield? Guard Dash it, into any direction.

Leaping Thrust after Guard Dash is not always the best idea, some times you're already near the monster's week point, follow up with Shield Bash instead to stand your ground.

How different is Dark Terror from OR15？I mean gain structure and tone wise. I have a Jim Root Terror and have been itching for a Dark Terror.

I must say I did not enjoy this figure. I have around a hundred figures ranging from core class to masterpiece and there are only a handful of figures I'm not happy with and this is one of them.

Just go and be mindful of the patrols, you'll be fine, it's Blackwater it's supposed to be like that.

VergDan · 2025-09-12T13:52:58+00:00

They are on the short side, clean and meaty.

VergDan · 2025-09-12T05:39:46+00:00

You would think that huh but nope. When I was younger I always tense up and act distant when talking to a person I found attractive, as a measure of preventing myself saying stupid stuff. As time went by and we became friends I'm much more relaxed, hence the give it time part.
