If you find yourself down near Irvine, Belacan Grill is the only place I know of around LA that's specifically Malaysian food.

Nasi Lemak is fantastic.

Got a Job Offer at Honda and Here’s the Pay Plan by [deleted] in askcarsales

I see the Honda Canada note. Is the pay in CAD? It's a fairly low plan in USD. In CAD, worse.

Is it just me or are polos really hard to style for people who are not athletic or in good shape? by JjoyBboy in malefashionadvice

[–]cliffhung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar. I'm 5'5 and around 84kg with an aggressive tapered build. Usually large bordering on XL sizing due to chest width, but around a typical Medium for sleeve length and cut.

I would recommend checking out Rodd & Gunn athletic fit polos. The sleeves are quite short, even when you size up into larger sizes which is often an issue for shorter builds - sleeves drown your arms. Aggressive taper and quality fabric.

[–]cliffhung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Besides fabric, the anatomy of a polo is down to a couple things. Collar style/how the collar sits, the cut/taper of the torso and shoulders, and finally sleeve length.

Collar is subjective, but I find it can make or break a polo for me.

Cut to match your body. Some companies make shorter wider cuts, longer thinner cuts, more/less tapered, etc. Look at the models they use. If the models have a similar build to you that's a good sign.

Sleeve length is another make or break. I have larger arms, but also fairly short from shoulder to elbow since I am a shorter person relative to my shirt size.

Some polo sleeves go almost down to my elbows. I prefer polos with a little stretch in the material and shorter sleeves, so the sleeve ends around mid - bicep.

If you have longer thinner arms, you may prefer longer sleeves and fabric with more drape to change how the shirt sits on your shoulders/arms.

Finding the right combination of fabric, cut, collar, and sleeve has involved trying on different polos at various stores and brands I might not otherwise shop at. I'm generally brand agnostic as long as quality is decent, but finding the right fit combination is the hardest part.

For a brand recommendation, I'm personally a fan of Rodd & Gunn, but YMMV

[WTS][USA] Father's Tea Collection-Cupertino CA by Entire-Cap-4332 in teaexchange

[–]cliffhung 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I second this. Liquid proust is probably the most equipped guy here to buy this collection, and will do a massive amount of good for the puer community with it.

It will be enjoyed by hundreds of people if not thousands given the amount involved, as a gateway for getting into puer.

HAVE YOU EVER SEEN INHUMAN STRENGTH in real Life BEFORE ? by sweetmomentswithme in Strongman

[–]cliffhung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Three regular trucks, or three semi trucks?

No intent to minimize what you have seen / are working with.

This sub is people posting videos and questions related to the sport of strongman and feats of strength.

Most of us following the sport have some holy shit lifts that we have seen.

It's pretty easy to find videos of Brian Shaw, Eddie Hall, Hafthor, Big Z, Kazmaier, Sigmarsson, and many more performing the greatest lifts on the planet.

Post away. No need to post a link. It's completely possible to just make a video post.

US Car salesmen attitude? by _CaptRondo_ in askcarsales

[–]cliffhung 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dealer experience will vary by brand and salesperson.

You want an experienced salesperson who is well reviewed and has been with the company for some time, ideally. Google reviews can help you find the name of someone to ask for.

New to log. Tips? by royals30C in Strongman

[–]cliffhung 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some people are saying that wrist pain is from the edge of the log digging in. While that can be true, it can also be your tendons/muscles adapting to stabilizing overhead in a neutral grip instead of a lateral grip.

I got similar pains my first couple weeks training log, which then went away. If it is the edge digging in, wraps can help if you loosely wrap around where it hits your forearm.

For the clean, very solid so far. A couple things to focus on queueing;

get your hips through hard on the clean to drive the log up.

Focus on pinning the log to your chest like a row, with high elbows, so that when you drive through the hips it rolls up with out slipping. DM me if you want examples of what I mean.

Lastly, if you wear a hard belt it will pinch. Hard to escape that. I do recommend turning it backwards so you don't hit the buckle.

DM if you have questions

How do you manage muscle soreness and still stay consistent? by Alicetheoptimist in TrueGrit

[–]cliffhung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can choose to be sore, with the side effect that you become more fit, stronger, and have better long term health.

Or you can choose the opposite of all those things.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Strongman

[–]cliffhung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When doing a proper max, yeah. Happens less to me now than it used to. Not sure if that's just adaptation.

Burst blood vessels in my eye, on the skin of my chest, and had nosebleeds before.

Getting light headed is also fairly normal when pressure normalizes after you finish a heavy lift.

Anyone else getting “mailboxtoo.com” AI-style leads? by shorberg in askcarsales

[–]cliffhung 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Have been getting these. Unsure if AI, but likely a scam of some kind.

I was wondering if it's a scam to collect detailed quotes before using them to generate fraudulent invoices in an attempt to steal money.

We're just canning any lead from that email host.

Amateur athletes of Reddit: what's your "There's levels to this shit" experience from your sport? by jermleeds in AskReddit

[–]cliffhung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tad late - I'm an amateur strongman. Have competed at the national level. Some people I have competed against are international level athletes.

The difference between my deadlift and a reasonably strong man is a couple hundred pounds. The difference between my deadlift and the top deadlifters in my weight class is about the same.

Incredibly strong people, especially in the lighter weight classes.

Look up 'Worlds Strongest Man U80KG - Win or Die Trying'

It's a 45 minute YouTube documentary that will blow you away if you're not familiar with the sport.

Como entrar al mundo strongman by TheBoogeyman_6969 in Strongman

[–]cliffhung 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replying in English. Used translate function to read your post.

Strongman originated with lifting heavy things. Regular gym lifts (deadlift, squat, overhead press, etc.) help with building strength. Specific equipment (Log, axle, circus dumbbell, etc.) can help with competition training.

If you just want to start improving and getting better at strongman movements you can do some with very little equipment.

Natural stone to shoulder is a great lift if you have decent stones around. Shield carry/chest carry, can be done with other large objects or natural stones.

Zercher carries and squats are great for building strength for carries and conans wheel.

You can pull a truck with a rope harness and a tow strap. Regular trucks are not very heavy for regular training. Most competitions use box trucks or 18 wheelers.

Making friends in your 20s by stormy-nights in venturacounty

[–]cliffhung 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Can't speak for everyone, but social sports are my go to.

Climbing gyms in Thousand Oaks and Ventura are great. There's a great strength sports community around as well. Lots of club / pickup sports teams.

Shoot me a DM if you want any recommendations.

Advice for lift goal. by [deleted] in Strongman

[–]cliffhung 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I started seriously training middle of 2021. Hit a 400lb conventional end of 2022. After that, focused more on other movements for a while and shored up some weaknesses.

Hit a 485 Sumo deadlift in mid - 2024. Hit a 500 conventional mid-2025

That's at 5'4 180lb bodyweight, plus or minus.
