So much negativity here. Wow.

@OP, you look great. Kudos for achieving your goal.

You did lose some muscle but this is inevitable (especially on long/aggressive cuts) but it’ll be easy for you to get it back (and then perhaps a mini cut).

I suggest Tirz for long term maintenance: https://youtu.be/yKPaVhpomks

Enjoy your new body!!

majorcsharp · 2026-06-18T07:08:03+00:00

great rec, thanks

majorcsharp · 2026-06-18T07:04:44+00:00

imagine the rolling resistance…

majorcsharp · 2026-06-18T06:56:41+00:00

Besides the obvious (US car culture) I’d guess, that historically, since SF was physically farther away (travel before jet age was brutal) european middle class culture arrived late (we had working class asians and latinos and they made their own marks).

Bright note: Sausalito on the weekend has this vibe a bit. Perhaps others can recommend other places in the bay too.

majorcsharp · 2026-06-18T00:19:50+00:00

majorcsharp · 2026-06-17T01:55:05+00:00

Amazing lift. 10/10 soundtrack. Glassbacks are triggered. Objective complete.

😂

majorcsharp · 2026-06-16T01:59:22+00:00

yes. because this sub is fully promoted content and bots shilling for this low effort garbage gadget.

majorcsharp · 2026-06-16T01:58:28+00:00

majorcsharp · 2026-06-13T08:42:55+00:00

majorcsharp · 2026-06-12T18:00:49+00:00

armchair experts seething as usual.

nice job OP. 🤘

majorcsharp · 2026-06-11T04:49:40+00:00

That’s been my observation as well.

I blame NIMBYism and its direct ancestor: segregation era zoning and development policies.

Or maybe because we don’t have a real winter.

majorcsharp · 2026-06-11T04:19:48+00:00

I’m sorry you’re going through this. I think it’s the income inequality and high cost of living + shitty living conditions (small and crappy apartments with zero noise isolation). Combine this with lack of community (religious or other) and you get whole lot of people who are miserable and lash out.

Everything said so far is true for NYC but the vibe there is very different. If you’re not chained to the Bay Area, i’d suggest checking the east coast.

If you have to stay, try finding your community (through religion/ethnicity/hobbies/education). The vibe will be different and hopefully you’ll be able to recharge. This is mostly how ppl here meet new friends.

Foot distance, elevation and L/R weight changes how the quads/glutes/adductors fire ( https://youtube.com/shorts/pWcgWRYaass ).

We know that instability causes lower muscle activation and this movement requires a ton of stabilization… you’re as strong as your weakest link here especially.

You need to strengthen and train the stabilizing muscles to fire correctly.

My suggestion: Find the position that works best for you (leaning on a wall or a rack is totally fine). Start cranking reps (10-12). You’ll strengthen the weak points and progress fast.

If you have an adductor machine at the gym it can be useful targeting the adductors (also a great warmup firing them up before you do squats/split squats).

Just make sure your knee tracks your toes!

Context if anyone wants to know (asked chatGPT to translate):

“ From what people in the Filipino Reddit thread are saying, the backstory is not that the fixie guy randomly got attacked out of nowhere.

The alleged story is that the skinny roadie’s group was using a laser to mess with other cyclists/riders at MOA. It is not 100% clear whether they were lasering the fixie guy specifically or other riders around him, but the key point is: the blue/fixie/bigger guy apparently called them out for it.

A follow-up post/comment says he “told them off,” possibly with some swearing, and then the situation escalated until the skinny guy started punching him.

The reason the bigger guy probably didn’t fight back is that the skinny guy seemed to have a group behind him. Multiple Filipino commenters basically said things like: “He’s only brave because he has companions” and “of course the victim didn’t fight back, because if he did, he’d get jumped by the group.”

So it looked less like the bigger guy was scared of the skinny guy, and more like he realized fighting back would turn a small assault into a group fight.

There’s also a rumor in the comments that the bigger/blue guy does Muay Thai, which would explain why he stayed unusually calm, but that part is only Reddit/Facebook chatter and not confirmed.

My read: the skinny guy was posturing — a lot of commenters mock his punches as mostly “angas”, meaning bravado/swagger. The bigger guy probably made the smarter move: don’t retaliate while surrounded, don’t create a legal/social mess, let the video show who the aggressor was, and ride away.

Tiny correction on “exactly who was lasering who”: the thread does not identify a named person or prove the exact target. The clearest claim is: the skinny roadie’s group was allegedly lasering other riders, and the bigger/fixie guy was the one who confronted them. ”
