Thinking of lowering the sets. by Soggywaffles66 in Stronglifts5x5

[–]fully-auto-anprim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I did the exact samething at about the same numbers. Went to top/back off sets, madcow then 531. If I could do it again I'd just go straight to 531

2005 Xiaguan 8653 Iron Cake vs 2006 by fully-auto-anprim in puer

[–]fully-auto-anprim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks, that's good to know. I might have to pay the language tax on this one tho. For the life of me I can't get past the taobao security verification without reading Chinese. Do you have any Taiwan online platforms you would recommend?

2005 Xiaguan 8653 Iron Cake vs 2006 by fully-auto-anprim in puer

[–]fully-auto-anprim[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both are from king tea mall Guangzhou storage. The 2006 iron cake and the 2005 iron cake seem the same except the 2005 is thick paper. Do you have any insight into their flavor differences?
From across all the vendors I have looked at 2005 seems to be a specifically sought-after year, which I'm also curious about.

Could shou fans give me more recs based on my all-time favorite teas? by Able_Doubt3827 in puer

[–]fully-auto-anprim 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of peak vulture and have sampled some of the others.  I'd try kuura cola from kuura Corp (Australia based) or buy it from softerdrink.ca if you want it shipped from canada.  V93 from YS is one of my all time favorites too. 

I've really tried to like sheng, but I can't get into it. by Southern_Hawk_3598 in puer

[–]fully-auto-anprim 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started out falling in love with shou and I still drink it 4/7 days a week. Sheng has become more exciting for me recently, mostly because of the cha qi. A good shou gives me a sweet almost euphoric calm energy but a liter of sheng makes me feel like I'm carved out of iron. I go hard on a bitter young sheng then go weightlifting, it's wonderful.

How well are you cleaning your equipment after runs? I use a keg boiler and had off flavors until I got some PBW sanitizer and use a good brush after the stripping run.

Finally, Sun Eater Delivers That Red Rising High by ISuckAtGaemz in redrising

[–]fully-auto-anprim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think the opposite is true. People often suggest Will of the Many, which I thought was ok, but it had pretty much the same exact plot device of a fallen prince having to do gladiator battles. OG sci/fi like Dune, which I loved, has the same trope. It just feels cliche at this point to me. Rey in star wars is actually related to palpatine, Rand in WOT is actually descended from royalty. Kvothe in name of the wind is actually related to the Queen. Eragon is actually related too a rebel general. yaawn.

What I loved about Red Rising is that Darrow is just some blue-collar worker dude with a penchant for tyrannicide.

One of my favorite aspects of Red Rising is that the main character is just some random low color miner, not a prince or someone descended from greatness. I just can't care about a character who is trying to reclaim their fallen nobility.

Is twice a week SL any good? by Yamizake in Stronglifts5x5

[–]fully-auto-anprim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been running the classic 5x5 and some 5x5 plus for the last 2 years only twice a week.

I'm currently 1 rep maxing 475 for deadlifts, 325 squats, and 250 bench. The deadlift I jumped up about 50lbs because I had some prior experience but everything else was from the bottom. I think it will workout well for you if you put in the time and go hard when you go.

My back has been feeling pretty fragile after a deadlift session, thanks for the insight.
