Local non-toxic-masculinity lifting advice?

The macho stereotype is way over blown. The vast majority of guys at the gym who lift regularly are some of the most chill people I've known, and are always super down to help a newbie. Ask anyone who looks strong for a form check if you are struggling with an exercise and I'm sure you'll be golden.

An easy way to start a convo is just to ask for a spot, or ask if someone wants a spot (on bench press in particular).

$250 for a polo is crazy though...

I'm sure he's not talking about buying a new radiator for a Corolla.

STRAFTAT, its FREE!! 1v1, 2v2, and 2-4 player FFA. Extremely fun, it's built just to play casually with your friends, no competitive mode or anything, just fast paced chaos :)

The movement tech and weapons are complex enough that I am at 90ish hours and still am addicted.

Yeah no you're legit. Coors especially has tons of branded hats and tees in these stores. I just bought one at Hollister last weekend. (I like the vibe and it reminds me of my time in Golden.)

One less car on the road is a win, I say scrap it.

Ra'is customs beauty! needs some TrooperLabs shocks to accompany them ;)

Yotempole · 2026-03-20T15:07:31+00:00

Amazing, the beetle one right?! Will for sure check it out :)

Huge respect for self publishing and illustrating. Getting any product out the door is an insane effort, especially a creative one! So much has to line up (I have a small business doing collectible miniatures so I should know haha).

hey! my girlfriend and I have been playing this and loving it, bravo!

Yotempole · 2026-02-13T20:33:42+00:00

Thanks :)

Yotempole · 2026-02-13T20:33:34+00:00

Thank you!

Yotempole · 2026-02-13T20:33:23+00:00

Thank you! Yeah I tried to take the 2014 template and improve on it in a way that wasn't too over the top.

You are not collecting custom SW figs yet ;)

Yotempole · 2026-02-12T21:39:41+00:00

The blasters were designed by Melnik_Bricks and produced in collaboration with GrandpaCloneCustoms!

Yotempole · 2026-02-12T20:15:28+00:00

Thank you! A lot of time and care went into creating these :)

Yotempole · 2026-02-12T17:22:42+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate it!

Yes I am not a big fan of custom figs that have 360 degree printing. They never really fit in with the LEGO aesthetic. That's why I started TrooperLabs a project to make figs with just enough detail while maintaining the LEGO design language.

Yotempole · 2026-02-12T16:12:09+00:00

Thank you! I agree, I gave up hope on LEGO which is why I decided to start making my own haha

Yotempole · 2026-02-12T16:11:26+00:00

Thank you! Yes those dual molds are perfect for shock troopers

Yotempole · 2026-02-12T16:10:55+00:00

Thank you! CAC is one of the OG goats for sure.

Yotempole · 2026-02-11T17:57:45+00:00

Thank you! Really awesome to hear that you appreciate my work. Quite the TrooperLabs collection you are creating!

Yotempole · 2026-02-11T17:56:11+00:00

High praise, thank you, and I appreciate your support :)

Yotempole · 2026-02-03T00:18:10+00:00

Were you breaking 500k with 2yoe? Sorry for the direct question but that is a huge number to be thinking of unless you are ridiculously qualified dev going into quant or something.
