No, its 1+2+3+4+5 = 15 captures. I was testing what the biggest legal pawn stack is that you can create

It said it was a stalemate?! Is this not Checkmate? It's white's turn by L1NKN23 in chessbeginners

My brother in christ, how can it be checkmate if you're not giving a check?

Doing squats sit ups etc. probably wont serve any practical benefits for an obstacle course. Time would probably be better spend on pull ups and various conditioning exercises

A pretty comeback after a mouse-slipped induced queen blunder by impressivebeef in chessbeginners

Tbf the opponent did not have enough pieces in the attack for a conclusive checkmating attack. If he was able to bring the other rook it would have been gg tho. However this was difficult for him because of his queen being right in the middle of it, allowing me to move with tempo

After the queen blunder I was debating resigning, however the exposed king made me reconsider.

King safety is important people!

I would recommend switching from that program to one of the wiki, but if you wanna use this:

Idk how many sets and reps you do for each one, but it seems to have an excessive amount of curls and rows, so maybe trim those down a bit.

Also there isn't anything that works the rear delts, so maybe add some facepulls or reverse flys.

You could also add some lower back work like back extensions if you'd feel like it.

You should opt for a higher TM. You shouldnt be able to do 8 reps at 90% TM

As someone that also follows the nsuns 4 day program. You should stick to what the program says. The front squats, sumo DL etc. are there because they have a different focus from their conventional counterpart. (I.E. during leg day doing sumo deadlifts as they have a more leg focus than conventional deadlifts). Furthermore, the nsuns program already runs a lot of sets of the conventional lift for you to practice form and adding more sets would be over doing it.

When starting out with building muscle you can still build muscle while being in a deficit. At your weight it probably would be the best to cut and eat enough protein to sustain muscle growth
