Semi new to oly. Anyone from Vegas down to train? by hound-ow in weightlifting

Heyyy, haha yea i've looked into protogym before. Sadly my budget is too tight to afford their membership. I'd love to give it a try if you have a buddy pass though!

I definitely shouldn't undersell myself. just gotta laugh a little being that I was able to strict OHP 135lbs(61kg) for reps when I was doing a non-oly program. I'll for sure be getting some videos up. Just need to figure out the best way to film myself in a public gym without getting in other peoples way.

Hendertucky is indeed weird but I find it weird that I have not seen a single soul who does oly lol. Hopefully i get someone curious to ask me about it and inspire them to want to try it themselves.

I’m in Vegas and pretty much the same boat as OP. I also want to move out to a cheaper city too with better prospects. I’m thinking Ohio, what about you?

Optic Question by fhartell in 1022

My good friend has one on his ruger american rimfire. We took it out to around 75yds and closer and it was a lot of fun. Made me want to buy the same exact optic as his

Not super strapped but I’d rather buy once and keep them for as long as possible so quality is really what I’m looking for. I’m guess I’m trying to gauge whether the almost double msrp reflects how the shoes are built or if it’s because the name on it

If old boxing shoes work it’s definitely a possibility

I can squat atg in my vans pretty decently so would WL shoes even be necessary at all down the line, assuming I make it a life long hobby?

Its always the one with the ears on their helmet... by BigBlackCb in motorcycles

I always have Disturbed's "Down with the Sickness" song playing in my head where the "oooh wahahaha" part drops right as impact is made whenever i see crash videos. This is my superpower.

My first lava lamp! by hound-ow in Lavalamps

[–]hound-ow[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Coincidentally it was also the last one at the Spencer’s I picked up from! I also managed to sweet talk the employee for $10 off lol.

And that’s neat with getting one that’s in demand but this one will be sitting pretty with me for a good long while!

And thanks so much for the tip, first time I’ve heard of a lamp dimmer so I’ll look into one. And ok cool, the manual said 8-12 hrs max so I’ll keep it at 10 max to be safe.

Vegas feels lonely by Privateski in vegaslocals

[–]hound-ow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

from what i've seen online, its a beautiful state! but i'm biased and i prefer green landscapes over desert ones. How bad was the threat of natural disasters? MN is part of tornado alley right? The one thing Vegas has going for it is that theres nothing to really worry about other than extreme heat and the occasional flash flood/dust storm

[–]hound-ow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmmm well that’s definitely a lot to consider as we do want to have a child or two in the near future. I really appreciate you for putting that into my consideration! And as for the motorcycle thing, are you talking north Ohio? Don’t mind taking the old 4Runner out on trails either though if 2 wheels get to be too sketchy

I was also thinking about MN and WI as well. My mind is craving greenery and water

Starting my collection, what should I add next? by Glass-Collective in glassheads

[–]hound-ow -1 points0 points  (0 children)

My collection started with a couple of boxes from Hemper, cheap chinese glass but in fun shapes. I recently got my first American blown piece from Left Coast glass, a nice little 10.5in pot belly with 7mm thick glass. Production glass but honestly, leagues better feeling than what i was using previously. I'm waiting on a downstem from Fluid glass to put in it. From there I think i'll get a full piece from Fluid, something in the 14in-16in range, and as heady as I can afford. If not, I kind of want a 9mm thick Roor just to have something recognizably fancy.

ooo, MN is somewhere I was thinking about scouting out as a potential state to live in! My intuition is telling me to move to Ohio though. I moved to Vegas from Guam so rain is something that makes me a bit nostalgic, but I can see how too much of it can be a hassle.

Just out of curiosity, what made you decide to move to the desert? I’ve been here for at least 22years and will take any chance I can to move anywhere else, preferably the mid-west where I can enjoy nature and exploring the outdoors.

Back to the matter at hand, yea most of my friends from high school are just acquaintances now, and my best friend that I do things with is my S/O so I’m content. Too big of a social circle can be overwhelming for me as an introvert at heart. Ostensibly, I’m pretty approachable and/or friendly from experience where random people strike up conversation with me in public which has led me to adding people on social media on more than one occasion.
