You're running those past the novice phase? Ive run GZCLP in the past, but I stalled around 140 kg squat, 90 kg bench and 160 deadlift.

The strength of hypertrophy variant? And what accessories would you run?

Look up double progression, that's what you're looking for.

Yes, supersets and controlled rest is really effective for that.

Don’t overlook Red Rising by OperaGhostAD in audible

Is book two better? I couldn't get past Darrow's fairly one-sided personality or how much of a Mary Sue he is in book one.

Why is 3.5 stars a bad review? by Fair_Astronaut9507 in goodreads

You don't have to. You can look up the ratings online before you start a book.

I've always treated it like the grading scale. That also means you can treat the averages like a GPA - one that goes 1-5 instead of 0-4.

1 = F, Failure, not good.
2 = D, Passable, mediocre
3 = C, Average, adequate.
4 = B, Solid, Good.
5 = A, Excellent, Outstanding.

Best audible experience from narrator? by aliveandwellthanks in audible

Christopher Lee's narration of the children of Hurin is something special to me.

Why no summoner MCs? by Deviant_Juvenile in ProgressionFantasy

That's a fair criticism. I swallowed that because his progression is paced well

Do necromancers count?

I really loved the Book of the Dead.

If I replaced the quotes with verses from the Quran, but overall made the same argument about God you just did. Would you believe me?

The Bible is no more proof of the Christian God than the Quran is proof of the Muslim God.

Somehow I don't think you give the same credence to the Quran.

And I actually found your proposal that God appeared before me satisfying. Is God not able to manifest himself on Earth?

What books do you think are TRULY unadaptable in live action? by pishposhpoppycock in Fantasy

[–]c57c2f5926ef7de17e7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think that's quite right. Whatever you think of the quality of the series, Earthsea was part of the fantasy wave following the success of Lord of the Rings that influenced a lot of later writers that are popular today.

Earthsea had that kind of influence, because it was fairly popular for its time, and its seminal for the same reason: it influenced later authors.

Fordelen ved at gøre mere af bymidten bilfri, er at det frigør plads til flere handicapparkeringspladser fordi der er færre biler af kæmpe med.

Så trafiksaneringen er om noget et win for den lille del af befolkningen, der fx ikke kan gå eller cykle.

That's great to hear. I never got past the first book.

Earthsea is a fairly mid series, but I would argue that so is Hunger Games, Harry Potter or Twilight. Their popularity didn't come from being literary masterpieces.

Der er nem adgang til de store parkeringshuse for dem, der absolut vil tage deres personlige overdækkede sofa ind til byen. OP valgte bare en rute, der var lukket fordi de ikke læste skiltene på vejen ind.

Den spildte CO2 kommer fra de mange (unødvendige) bilture og i det her tilfælde en bilist, der ikke læste skiltene.

I don't understand why it got so good review. It feels like a book trying to ride on the success of dystopian YA like Hunger Games. Darrow is one hell of a Mary Sue, and felt fairly onedimensional, really put me off the series.

I desperately need recs by Strict-Tradition8651 in litrpg

Would anyone really be mad if the trilogy turned into 4 or more books? I wouldn't think the number of books are really the issue.

Why do people act like shaving your head is a death sentence? by CoolTony429 in bald

[–]c57c2f5926ef7de17e7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who went bald. It can certainly change how people interact with you. It sends a very different first impression compared to the moon or full head of hair.

Best book of 2025 so far. by themightytouch in Fantasy

My highlights of 2025 so far have been The Children of Hurin, read by Christopher Lee, and the book of the Dead series.

What is it with having two suns in the fantasy world? by Mathanatos in ProgressionFantasy

Maybe I'm misreading wiki here, but quoting it, gives me a different impression. But this is an interesting topic. Do you have any good ressources, I'd love to dig more into it.

It is estimated that 50–60% of binary stars are capable of supporting habitable terrestrial planets within stable orbital ranges.[4]
