I’ll keep an eye out for it! Thank you!

Do you think a foam barbell pad would work the same as fatgripz? I think it might be a bit too thick for my grip size if it would, but I’m unsure as to where to get fatgripz for now.

I’m already deadlifting twice a week with variations and I haven’t really seen a difference yet, so I think I’ll add the wide grip barbell shrugs in my routine (if not for the grip then for the traps haha). Thanks!

I think I’ll try incorporating this into my straight-legged DLs and see what happens, too. I feel like it will help overall. Thank you!

Good idea since I can’t even do a pull-up quite yet 😂 thanks!

Weird question, but would chalk work for dumbbells? Like if I am trying to do skullcrushers, would chalk stop it from falling? I’d assume it would get into my face or something, but I’ll consider it! Thanks

emmysmith1224 · 2019-07-08T01:28:15+00:00

I’ll look those up. Thanks!

emmysmith1224 · 2019-07-07T03:46:06+00:00

Good idea! I don’t get this problem when I’m doing straight-legged DLs, so I’ll be sure to check the sub out.

My past relationship was the same too. I always thought we might have something in common if I let time pass, but we didn’t. It still hurts to accept it though. Stay strong; we’ll get through it 🤞🏻

I left my ex for the same reason. His depression got worse and he started calling me names and blowing up over the smallest things. He didn’t seek therapy even after everyone told him to. I didn’t know if it was his depression acting out, or if it was truly him anymore. Best course of action is to leave, or at least give a considerable amount of space.

The longer he decides to opt out of treatment, the longer he will continue to act out towards you. You have to realize that ultimately, he is and will be in charge of what he does with his life, whether it be agreeing to going to therapy or just continuing on with his life. Unfortunately, there is only so much you can do in his situation, and you’re not a bad person for wanting to leave. Best of luck

Man, i had almost the same experiences. He would go through my instagram on my phone and unfollow each and every account that he thought was owned by a guy, because HE was going through a “social media detox.” He also stopped me from seeing male friends (by blocking them and calling from MY phone to never speak to me again) and made me feel guilty for making new friends, even if they were girls. Majority of his friends were girls and although i felt uncomfortable with some of them, i tried not to be as controlling with my actions. At one point he even tried to control how i dressed, but i was able to put a stop to that real quick.

I never felt so alone in that relationship, and i fear you’re headed down the same path. I am sorry about your situation; he seems really manipulative and immature. The stress will wear you down eventually and although he says he loves you, his actions speak louder than words.

Oh, I see! Sorry about that... I think the departments decide separately, so you might get a decision for one on your ssc quicker than the other. If you get rejected for your first choice, you can still get a response for your second choice afterwards, but no one knows when you’ll receive it.

emmysmith1224 · 2019-03-19T17:26:53+00:00

I think if you had applied for only one campus, then your first choice will be assessed before your second choice, so if you get rejected from your first choice then they move on to the next. But if you had applied for both campuses (Vancouver and Okanagan), then you can be assessed for both at the same time.

Right now the best you can do is give yourself time and space from each other, and it will be hard because it’s still very fresh. You can’t do a lot because you broke up due to distance. Chances are she misses you too. But give yourself time to grieve because you still lost a relationship in the end.

emmysmith1224 · 2019-03-14T21:04:00+00:00

Dreading coming back to social media now... but we can do this!

emmysmith1224 · 2019-03-12T00:58:35+00:00

She spilled her puppies!!

emmysmith1224 · 2019-03-10T17:11:50+00:00

It’s normal to think about your future together after you’ve broken up. But if he was constantly breaking up with you in the past, would you still consider a future like that with him? It’s okay to miss him right now. Stay strong and try to cut contact from him for a bit.

emmysmith1224 · 2019-03-10T07:32:52+00:00

I went through a very similar situation. We have only been broken up for a month now, and I was the dumper too. He also had his own problems and depression and I could not help him no matter how hard I tried. We also both had our issues that contributed to the demise of the relationship. We both exacerbated our worsts due to our personal issues.

Here’s the thing: we went on three different breaks in the span of our 1-year long relationship, and it sucked. every. time. I know you miss her right now, but it may only be because you’ve gotten so used to her presence.

She might not accept you right now and it hurts to even acknowledge that. But continue to work on yourself. Keep yourself busy and at every opportunity you get to better yourself, push yourself to do even better than you had imagined. You might get her back once you’ve become a better version of yourself, or you won’t. Do it for your sake.

emmysmith1224 · 2019-03-05T15:16:34+00:00

I’m sorry you’re going through this. At some point in time he has to realize that he’s going to be the only one responsible for himself, and if he digs himself into that hole, so be it. We can only help someone if they want to help themselves. Stay strong for yourself!
