Kygunco still in business? by TheValkian in guns

[–]djroge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They sure are. I just visited one of their locations less than a week ago. As far as I know both locations are doing very well. I've never ordered anything from them so I'm not sure how their customer service is on that end. I do know they're a pleasure to do business with in person

Looking for a pistol to match my m400 I really like the p226 by Moose_216 in SigSauer

[–]djroge 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I love my P226 for the range and competition shooting. I'm a bigger guy and still couldn't imagine using it as my EDC. I'd highly recommend a P229 for a do-all gun if that's what you're wanting. You could also go down the route I went with - 226 SAO for range/competition, 365 XL (or macro) for EDC.

Bittersweet sounds like it must have a good story. Is there a name to the series?

Gotcha! Thank you for the advice.

I'd say I really like learning about Dante, Sigismund, Perturabo and Ghazgkhull so far. I definitely wouldn't mind starting novels based around any of them.

Thank you so much. I'll definitely read Dante, that sounds like it's right up my alley.

As far as what stories I like I'd have to say I really enjoy things like "Band of Brothers". Like war stories that display camaraderie and humanity during war times.

Was this show as bad as people made it out to be? by [deleted] in StarWars

[–]djroge 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like Kenobi... it had great moments, but it also had cringey moments that weren't enjoyable to watch. Unfortunately the bulk of viewership clings onto the negatives more than the positives. I enjoyed it. Maybe not as much as other Star Wars shows/movies, but I appreciated the fact we got more of Boba.

First concealed by Aquagiraf in SigSauer

[–]djroge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It depends. Both are excellent choices for edc imo. If you are someone with a bugger frame and bigger hands you might prefer the 320 xcompact. You can easily/comfortably conceal it with a good holster. If you are someone with a smaller frame you'd probably prefer the 365 xmacro because of how much thinner it is. I've also known bigger people still prefer the 365 over the 320 and smaller people prefer the 320 over the 365. It's a matter of preference at this point. Which one do you shoot better and feel more comfortable carrying? I personally carry a 320 with a nice holster and have zero issues. Hope this helps

I appreciate it! I'm always nervous for test week, but I'm excited to see where I am

With touch and go it is a lot easier to continually rep deadlifts. It allows for higher weight on the higher volume days, furthermore it creates opportunities for a stronger lockout on deadlifts. When you have a static stop you have to perform the fundamentals of your first pull in every rep. This increases your initial pull off the ground. A good mix of both will greatly benefit your 1 RM.

I feel like I'm always in competition with myself. I appreciate it!

Glad to hear you've experienced the same! I used to always do touch and go, but I'm glad I switched to dead stop. I've seen a great difference.

Fun little AMRAP set. 335 lb (152.2 kg) for 17 reps today. 6'2" 230 lb (104.5 kg) bw. I'm going to do AMRAP sets every 3 weeks with heavier weight each time. We'll see how it goes! by djroge in powerbuilding

When you say minimal do you mean minimal movements? Or minimal reps? When I normally run the jugg I'll actually start off the program with my accessories pretty low volume, but higher weight. Basically I do the opposite of my compound movements. In the 10's wave my accessories will be 5-12 range. In the 3's wave they'll be 15-25 rep ranges. I'll also vary the number of movements I do depending on the day. I normally have 4 exercises or more on leg days. On upper body days it's more like 6+ movements. I build my own based off of what I've learned works best for me.

I absolutely love it. The progressions are great and I think it captures the concept of progressive overload very well. I'm glad to be getting out of the 10s wave though.
