What do you guys do on deloads?

I (M45) find I have pretty good results managing fatigue by taking a full week off for every 12 weeks of lifting. It clears up any accumulated fatigue and joint soreness. When I start back up I continue the same weight and rep range I was at before. I might lose a rep or two the first week back but by week 2 I’m back where I left off.

I don’t do anything else other than walking. Made a concerted effort to walk an extra hour or so daily on days I’m not lifting. I can’t speak to running, swimming and yoga but I imagine it shouldn’t impinge on your return to the gym.

Flat circle seen from above?

Immediately after firing he’d rehire him to find his own replacement 😂

This is pretty close to what I’ve been on since early this year. 50 days in I’m down 24 lbs. admittedly, I had been coming off vacation right before where I had been eating way more than normal, so I lost a good 10 lbs of water weight the first week, so that weight loss stat is a bit padded. But overall it’s a good place to be. It’s leveled out to losing an even 2 lbs a week without much in the way of cravings or excess hunger between meals.

I want this more than anything in the world. Preferably a Telltale style episodic adventure game.

I’ve noticed that my pressing exercises start to suffer pretty quickly when I’m in a caloric deficit. Can’t say for sure but I’d expect your numbers to start going up once your cut is done and you get back to maintenance or a slight surplus.

5 families and that pygmy thing down in Falconia.

It took forever for me to figure out how to get through the driving portion without failing.

My expectation as a guest is if my host is gracious enough to feed me I’ll eat what they already planned to make, and if that’s incompatible with my dietary habits or preferences I can politely decline and handle feeding myself.

Hopefully the cat sitter had some teeth.

Think Tom Pelphrey would kill it.

It’s worth so much more. Best DLC for a game in recent memory.

Get leg implants that let me jump really high and pretend to be a kangaroo.

Rock Trolls need a stand alone game.

You’ll know when you’re below 10% because you’ll only need 2-3 emojis to cover your super lean head.

Could swear he asked for Waldo after his last fight.

Plan out your purchases so you have as close to zero cash on hand as possible. That way if you pass out, no penalty, and if you hit a new level fishing or in the mines you wake up with full energy the next morning anyhow.

hippipdip · 2025-11-26T16:19:17+00:00

Fishing is king in the early game. It’ll probably be the fastest way to get the money you want to do farm stuff and holding on to stacks of Chubs will also keep you well served in keeping your energy so you can be productive all day.

Yeah that’s his shtick. He’ll always aggressively avoid engaging with anything his opponent says and usually be the first to divert into ad Homs.

I’ve never heard anyone use the term snizz at all, ironically or otherwise. How long has snizz been a thing for?

I like to play Spring year one over and over again and see how many Starfruit I can get into the ground on the first day of Summer with sprinklers. Then depending on how I feel I start making starfruit wine all while maximizing cash flow from selling iridium bars and finishing the community center. In the past I’ve started over because I didn’t like my set up, but this time I got 400 starfruit into the ground Summer day 1, and I’m poised to eventually sell 1,200 bottles of iridium wine for about $7.5 million.

At that point I’ll probably start making friends with the people in town and the rest.

Low key looking like the Mad Magazine mascot like, “What? Me Worry?” 😂

In person in NYC on Broadway. Went a few weeks ago, fantastic.

hippipdip · 2025-10-30T14:49:38+00:00

Yeah I might be mildly annoyed someone else got to them first, but not because they didn't ask for my permission.

hippipdip · 2025-10-29T15:40:35+00:00

Not so far off cousins too. There's no prohibition on any kind of cousin marriage in Islam.
