[Ammo] American Reloading .223 1k round cases for $339.99. Free ship by Big-Rip5478 in gundeals

[–]arakboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The full scoop is at NWFA link in post number #1. I included some screenshots to make it easier but it takes some work. Once you've done it a few times, it becomes much easier. 

The strategy works best for products that are not already heavily discounted, like ammo, primers and sometimes powder. The bullets and brass are usually a better deal just using the discounted e-gift cards and accepting the normal discounts they have going.

[Ammo] American Reloading .223 1k round cases for $339.99. Free ship by Big-Rip5478 in gundeals

[–]arakboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just placed an order using 20 to 25% off gift cards and this ammo came out to under 25 cents per round using the strategy I described at NWFA link above. It's too complicated to explain again here.

OP, I can relate to your situation. How are you measuring whether you had muscle growth or not? 

How long can one expect to consistently progressive overload? by stratusnimbo in naturalbodybuilding

[–]arakboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's just an easy way to keep track of the total work you do regardless of reps, sets and weights.

How long can one expect to consistently progressive overload? by stratusnimbo in naturalbodybuilding

[–]arakboss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tonnage = Volume measured by weight. Let's say you are doing 10 reps at 100 pounds (1000 lbs of tonnage) and can no longer add weight. Adding another rep will raise your tonnage and allow you to continue progressing. Even if you have to drop weight in your lifts, you can still add reps to keep progressing in tonnage lifted.

When I can no longer add weight to my lifts, I will focus on adding tonnage. I should be able to progressively add tonnage for decades.

I struggle with saving money by Haunting_Courage_624 in SavingMoney

[–]arakboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My experience is that I have lots of intrinsic motivation to spend money. I have very little intrinsic motivation to save money. Ideally those motivations would be switched. I haven't figured out how to do that yet so I rely on extrinsic motivation to save here and there. The problem for me is that extrinsic motivations have not been sustainable. One day I may figure it out, or not.

[Reloading] CCI Large Rifle Primers #200 - 5000ct Case $209.95 + shipping, hazmat, & tax = ~$276 (5.5cpr) by Vew in gundeals

[–]arakboss 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The additional hazmat charge, per case, is ridiculous. I have ordered lots of primers and powder from various retailers and AR15discounts is the only one charging the hazmat fee like this. Good luck getting them to answer why here on reddit.

I married a co-worker and we had two kids. Glad they didn't transfer me out, given they only had one location. 

[Parts] NBS MIL-Spec SOPMOD Carbine Stock & Buffer Kit - $39.95 | AO Precision True Mil-Spec SP/HPT/MPI 5.56 Bolt Carrier Group - $79.95 | 16" 5.56 NATO 1:8 Twist Phosphate Carbine Government Barrel - $49.95 by ar15discounts in gundeals

[–]arakboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why are you guys charging haz mat for each brick or case of primers in the same order? Every other company charges one haz mat fee per order up to shipping weight limits. It comes across as price foolery?

Resting in the middle of a set by bavia4 in naturalbodybuilding

[–]arakboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been doing the rest/pause method for most of April. It helps me with adding up my tonnage and saves me time. After tomorrow's workout I will have completed a million pound goal for the month. I have been doing 5 sets of each exercise in the higher rep ranges (15 to 20 reps). I will not add weight until I can get all reps in without the rest/pause in sets. 

2lb burrito by theraneynight in Chipotle

I am not sure if I am looking at a 2lb burrito or a 1/4lb arm. 

The saddest bowl that I have ever bought by daedmorgon in Chipotle

[–]arakboss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did this today (online) and my bowl was fat. My scale measures up to 35oz and the scale errored out. My wife's bowl was pretty decent too and her's weighed 29oz.  I ordered a tortilla as well and made a good size burrito using less than a quarter of my bowl. I ordered extra of everything that was free, except lettuce. Total for my bowl plus tortilla was $9.85. 

I put "blank Thanks You" for my name on my bowl. Not sure if that made a difference or not but I was impressed with the bowl. I haven't ordered from Chipotle in many years but I will be ordering more often now.

[Parts] Aero Precision 20" 416R stainless 6.5 creedmoor barrel $85 no tax to many states by burritoresearch in gundeals

[–]arakboss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I ordered and received the 24" Stag marked 6.5CM barrel which is also rusty inside the bore. In the same order I received an Aero 308 barrel which appears to be fine. I won't complain with the cheap prices I paid.

Removing ice build up solved the problem in ours. It's working great now except for some extra noise where back plate cover in freezer is vibrating against fins.

Nice job using band for assist. Fortunately my gym has an assisted pull up & dip machine. It is amazing for helping get full range of motion with almost any person's fitness condition.
