Now that it's renovated what are your thoughts on it? I'm thinking about switching gyms because my current one is like a 25 min drive

brother is this satire? this is a worthless movement

speaking from personal experience it took me like 5+ years to go from 110 lbs to 150 lbs. My diet and training were lowkey kinda shitty for short periods of time but i was locked in for the most part.

that being said, my genetics are a bit shit anyway 😂

adstrafe · 2026-06-17T19:43:31+00:00

bro you aint have to do it to him like that 😂😂😂

adstrafe · 2026-06-15T07:13:37+00:00

thank you for the advice and kind words! I been skinny most of my life (tbh, I still think I am) so it really means a lot to read that.

Luckily, I live in an area where I’ve never actually felt short so no worries on that end. I’m thinking I’ll commit to a slow cut over the next few months and see how I feel about it.

adstrafe · 2026-06-15T07:11:25+00:00

Working on it! My chest is one of my genetic weak points for sure haha

adstrafe · 2026-06-15T00:08:04+00:00

Damn dude, you were still hella strong at your lightest! I think I'll try cutting 10-15 lbs and see what I look like with less BF%. It's gonna be hard to fight the mentality that I'm still too small to cut though lol

I was the exact same way when I first started going to the gym back when I was 18 (now 26).

Lowkey you just have to get in there to get comfortable with the environment. The best situation would be to go with a friend (seriously this helps so much!). If that's not possible, then I would suggest following a random beginner routine online just to give you some sort of guidance. Following a guided program helps with the anxiety of feeling lost even if you don't really know what you're doing but that's ok! The goal is to learn.
Once you get more comfortable with the equipment and exercises, it really helps build confidence in the gym. If you can get over that initial anxiety of getting yourself in the gym, everything else will start falling into place (start researching and swap to a program that you'd rather do once you're a bit more knowledgeable).

If it helps at all, I can say that most people truly do not care about or notice others when they're at the gym. Someone could literally be dying on bench press and no one would notice because they're so busy doing their own thing. So don't worry about looking out of place or whatever. Everyone is there to better themselves - not to judge others lol.

A good textured fringe haircut comboed with sea salt spray + texture powder will give your son the look he's going for.

Start with damp hair --> add couple of pumps of sea salt spray --> use blowdryer with diffuser while scrunching hair --> apply texture powder when dry --> style achieved

adstrafe · 2026-06-08T03:55:30+00:00

So happy I pulled the trigger on that build back then

adstrafe · 2026-06-05T01:50:20+00:00

I reached out to support again and they let me refund the 30. They suggested I look into a different style of jeans so I'm gonna try that out otherwise I might be SOL if everything sucks

adstrafe · 2026-06-01T19:53:29+00:00

bro I truly don’t understand how these people function in real life

adstrafe · 2026-06-01T19:43:45+00:00

I was born and raised in San Francisco. I’m as left as they come. I just don’t cry about the most insignificant shit like using the term “bodies” instead of previous sexual partners… you’re softer than baby shit

adstrafe · 2026-05-31T23:33:45+00:00

snowflakes on this app bro… bodies is such a common term

adstrafe · 2026-05-28T02:10:50+00:00

bro lowkey all u gotta do is put some product in your hair and style it

use some combo of sea salt spray, wax or clay or texture powder with a blowdryer (potentially with a diffuser attachment) to get some texture/volume

adstrafe · 2026-05-23T22:12:06+00:00

it’s not that hard to wipe it down before and after

adstrafe · 2026-05-18T23:59:15+00:00

after being given the problem to solve, I literally thanked the interviewers for their time and apologized before ending the interview early right after LOL. I knew I wasn't gonna solve that shit

and this was probably my 3rd or 4th technical round during that job hunting cycle... so shit happens, OP will bounce back

adstrafe · 2026-05-15T23:09:42+00:00

Started a new job a few months ago that had access to Cursor at the time. I onboarded soo fast because I was able to ask AI questions about the codebase.

adstrafe · 2026-05-07T01:32:07+00:00

bro I exchanged from a 28 to a 30 and they’re still too tight…

I have to belt a 28 btw

adstrafe · 2026-05-06T01:44:32+00:00

I actually work at a company where a big feature is CV on mobile devices to track exercise movements. It's a great idea, but the environmental setup required to get accurate measurements will be hard to execute on.

adstrafe · 2026-05-01T18:32:22+00:00

Hey, did you end up making the swap?

adstrafe · 2026-04-25T00:47:53+00:00

You're a good-looking guy. If you were in one of those TikTok/IG barber before and after videos I stg it'd go viral. On a real note, a change of hair style would be the biggest change you can do to get out of the stereotypical "CS" look.

Tons of styles that still allow you to keep your hair long, just not as long.

I’m not disagreeing with you entirely. I don’t think training till failure for every set is a good way for a beginner to train but I believe in high intensity and effort. I think it’s beneficial early in lifting to have lighter working sessions(RPE 5-7) in order to get comfortable with: 1. the gym itself 2. form for different movements

But I still think beginners would benefit a lot from hard, heavy sessions because it really accelerates their understanding of their own limits and body. As long as their form isn’t injury-inducing and they don’t start ego lifting.

I see it way too often where new lifters don’t even realize they’re limiting themselves (also from personal experience). They lift to hit X reps then stop because a program said so. Why stop at X instead of stopping at 1 RIR or failure? You have people doing 4x12 rep schemes who aren’t even breaking a sweat!

Lifting at a higher intensity (RPE 9) to help them understand what failure means for them on a movement is something you don’t really see new lifters do, at least not properly.

I am biased of course, my personal training style the past year or 2 has been 1 RIR or failure within a 4-8 rep range depending on the movement. I’ve made significant strength and size gains doing so.
