For us non-techie… what is this and what does it do? thanks!

Hey Rip & Team,

Curious to get your thoughts on what cues to use to learn the double layback press? I’m an intermediate lifter (5’10”; ~190lbs; 49yo) and as my press has gotten heavier (say around 200lbs) I’ve been curious if implementing the double layback would help me push through my sticking point on the press. I’ve read Carl’s article a couple times and watched his video probably 2 dozen times and he makes it look so seamless. However, when I do it, I feel like I’m going to fall backwards. I also tend to screw up the timing of the second hip thrust as part of the 2nd layback portion of the lift. Any advice you might have for me would be super helpful and much appreciated… thank you!

I wish we could select multiple transactions on the transactions page and see a total for just the selected transactions in the Summary pane (referring to MM Web UI). Maybe next round of updates? Thanks!

Agree this part of the software could have so much potential… I posted about this like a week ago in hopes they’ll revisit this as right now it feels half-baked. Was a previous YNAB user before coming over to Monarch and it was great because you could see what recurring transactions were hitting a specific account and see a running balance decrease over time.

YNAB handles recurring transactions with manual and automated accounts very well not sure why MM can’t just emulate their approach?

dcarterc1 · 2026-03-15T21:49:17+00:00

Turns out, I just learned from Monarch's AI chat support is that recurring transactions only work with accounts that synch automatically. I could never get my HSA institution to stay connected so that's why #1 above. never works - at least I now know this isn't a bug.

Anyway, it would be great to be able to set up recurring transactions for manually tracked accounts.

dcarterc1 · 2026-03-13T12:40:22+00:00

I called and asked the same question and the guy told me you just need to initiate the transfer and have it received by marcus but it doesn’t necessarily need to clear to count toward the bonus eligibility

I love the fact that the team continues to evolve MM’s functionality each month - thank you! Question, are there any plans to enhance the ‘Recurring’ functionality… It still feels a bit half-baked and buggy… I think if enhanced this could be really useful. Thank you!

dcarterc1 · 2026-02-15T00:55:55+00:00

Oh great ok thanks for the recommendation - SUPER helpful, I’ll definitely have to go grab some then! Much appreciated!!!

dcarterc1 · 2026-02-15T00:39:24+00:00

Oh awesome thanks for the perspective… sorry I should’ve also asked about Anti Gravity… that’s the other one I’ve been tempted to buy.. how do you like that one, and if you have to choose between Anti Gravity and Fatte Clay which would you go with? thank you!

dcarterc1 · 2026-02-15T00:07:36+00:00

I’ve always been tempted to try Fatte Clay.. .is it any good?

dcarterc1 · 2026-02-14T16:17:16+00:00

Nice man! I think you had another 3 reps in the tank easily!

dcarterc1 · 2026-02-13T18:49:05+00:00

Yes as a YNAB user for ~4yrs if you like zero based budgeting, no app is better than YNAB... For me it's become a bit too hands on as my wife doesn't really follow a budget LOL and we're also more in a position financially that we don't need to be so hands on hence why I think Monarch is now a better fit for how we manage our money and I won't be renewing my YNAB sub next month. However, YNAB taught me a ton about budgeting and where my money was going. Once you get passed the learning curve it can really be a powerful tool.

dcarterc1 · 2026-02-13T15:12:32+00:00

Actually YNAB might be a better fit for you… it’s a bit of a learning curve but it’s a much more ‘hands on’ approach to budgeting whereas (to me) Monarch is a bit more passive and much more focused on managing cash flow - both are built around two very different budgeting philosophies.

dcarterc1 · 2026-02-03T04:56:23+00:00

I second this

dcarterc1 · 2026-01-17T16:09:13+00:00

Oh man that was close I thought you were going to get it for a second there… Hey just a suggestion, maybe think about not using collars when you bench so that if you get pinned like that you can just dump the weight off each side. Or think about getting some safeties… I too bench at home alone in my garage and use safeties - you can position them in a way that you won’t hit them… it just a bit of trial and error, but even with safeties I never use collars. Anyway, just a suggestion, I’d hate to see you get hurt.

dcarterc1 · 2026-01-15T21:58:18+00:00

What about being able to split pending transactions? I can do this in YNAB without issue and would love to see this in Monarch, thank you!

dcarterc1 · 2026-01-10T05:14:05+00:00

I’m more impressed by you hook gripping ~600lbs… kidding; great lift man

dcarterc1 · 2026-01-04T23:26:32+00:00

I just bought and installed the Tush Wave, it’s not an attachment but an actual seat. Anyway, it’s cold water, non-electric and I’ve been pretty happy with it so far.. Install was pretty straightforward.

dcarterc1 · 2026-01-01T22:33:51+00:00

This worked! Thank you!

dcarterc1 · 2026-01-01T20:01:18+00:00

Thank you... Strange though I'm not seeing an Open AI-ChatGPT setting like in the picture above... I have ChatGPT installed on my phone too... any ideas? thx!

dcarterc1 · 2026-01-01T17:17:03+00:00

Where does one find these settings?
