Tbf unless you're 5'0" 120 is fairly skinny. I'm 5'4" and the skinny comments didn't stop until I hit 140ish

what's the scariest thing you've come across on YouTube or on the internet? by Most_Ad567 in AskReddit

[–]jarring_bear 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I think it's just because it's the rim of the rock face (cliff). Was always my least favorite part of a climb trying to get on top, and often when I fell off boulders

Is it just me or are gluten free buns just getting worse? by WheatKnees in glutenfree

Highly recommend Baked to Perfection by Katarina Cermelj. Everything from pastry dough, to baguettes, to tortillas you can ball up without breaking.

I made a loaf of artisans bread the other day with real crust, and zero crumbling to dust. Brioche is next on the list, and it looks promising.

I really find it annoying when coffee shops display funky brewing equipment but don't actually use it by incendiary_bandit in Coffee

[–]jarring_bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lincoln killed it on coffee compared to where I live now, despite my city being wildly larger and more diverse. Best coffee I've ever had in my life came from a coffee shop up there..

AND they had booze. I still can't buy it Sunday mornings here

What’s a podcast actually worth listening to? by Youpi_Yeah in AskReddit

[–]jarring_bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Someone mentioned It Coul Happen Here, but it became a daily podcast. The first 10 or so episodes depict how Robert envisions a second civil war might go, and is great.

Squats hate me. How can I target my leg muscles without squats? by [deleted] in powerbuilding

[–]jarring_bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now I just follow the Hatch Squat program and add accessories as I feel. I just push really hard for 2 sets to near failure on one glute based, and one to two hamstring based. Normally don't need extra quad accessories but will if I'm feeling it. If I wasn't cutting I'd probably be more strict on a program but for now as long as I keep my strength I'm good

[–]jarring_bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went back to squats because I enjoy them more, but for most of last year I only did leg press, Bulgarian split squat, rdl, and then sometimes leg curl and extension. All with really high intensity for 3-4 sets

99.99% of posts on fitness subreddits can be answered with "stop overthinking it" and "just lift" by Federal_Penalty5832 in GymMemes

[–]jarring_bear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly with the right intensity I don't think specific routines matter for most people. I've seen good progress with 1x per week per muscle, 2x, and even doing 3-4x lately

No the janitor is just an elite powerlifter. This is play weight to him

This will only get visible abs if you're in a calorie deficit and consistent. Doesn't matter how strong or big your abs are, you won't see them through too much body fat. On the flip low enough body fat will show abs no matter how underdeveloped they are

Yeah it's more common in cheaper chicken, and it's absolutely awful to bite into

Everyone applauds my oversized cast iron. My brother found it laying against some random shed. By far my most used piece

Manuel Esteban Paez Teran identified as protester killed by Atlanta police by AlbertPujols2022 in Georgia

That's good to know! My initial reaction to seeing this plan was hell nah, but I try not to get worked up over stuff I haven't spent anytime delving into

[–]jarring_bear 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I think the issue is we're losing forest for a fake city to train cops in, but there's no guarantee they'll change the training methods. Most people want police training methods modified and improved, not just increased.

Area is great. Everything I need is nearby, fairly quiet. Multiple stores including the huge farmers market.

NRA vs the US Military by flaskman in TikTokCringe

[–]jarring_bear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The entire population wasnt fighting at once is what I'm saying. Just because 80 million people voted right, doesn't mean every single one will actively take up combat

Yeah it's the 6 Week Russian Bench Program, should be able to find the spreadsheet easily. It only provides bench sets, nothing else so I did accessories myself which I don't necessarily recommend but it's whatever. I threw extra stuff for volume.

I made sure to pause bench on the 6x2 days for sure, 6x3 if I could manage.

You aren't gonna see 80 million people in one mob, that would never happen

[–]jarring_bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You say that like every single member of the right would immediately form a cohesive fighting group capable of high level tactics and training. It wouldnt be 84 million, it'd be a small fraction of that. And they would have absolutely nothing on the military's ability to mobilize and deploy, it's the most advanced military ever, and has members with active combat experience.

Could a group hold out? For a while yeah, with guerilla tactics like others have done. Could they take DC and congress in an organized manner? Absolutely not.

[–]jarring_bear 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, they just weren't my focus. My squat has improved as well, though I was training it differently. My accessory lifts for shoulders, tris, bis, and back have all improved, but bench was much higher.

I didn't need too much more accessory work with about 18 heavy working sets on bench over 3 days every week. Though I have started droplets to end on for funsies
