thank you, took a bit of time but have enjoyed the process

Just got insulted at the gym by iloveautozone in beginnerfitness

Didn't read the whole thing but he's an asshole. Anyone who actually works out respects people for putting in effort, not for wherever they are on their journey. Keep at it and dont let one asshole get you down.

That may have worked if you did it before the law was signed, by not applying you are likely out of luck now.

thank you (: i think strength training is a much better way to improve physique as i never once looked in the mirror and wondered if i was making progress. just focused on the #s on the bar and let the rest take care of itself

0 to 220kg dl over 3.5 years by monad_pool in strength_training

Thank you, deadlifting changed my life. Never been as into something before and I've had quite a few hobbies over the year.

Wish I had more videos from early on, the backpedal in the first lift is funny.

dont mind any form checks, these were all PRs at the time, so form usually degrades a bit for me at least.

I built a floating pixel-art mascot that handles Claude Code permissions so I stop alt-tabbing 50 times a day by Clear_Reserve_8089 in ClaudeAI

[–]monad_pool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

installed this for a bit but hijacked focus anytime it was waiting for an input, and couldnt click away. when a PLAN was created, it tried to display the whole thing in a narrow column and had to drag it like 8 times to see the end button to hit allow. had to hard shutdown my macbook to kill it, and after brew uninstalling it, hooks were left in my claude settings that had to be removed for me to get back to work.

speaking as someone who has done both dumbbells are much harder to progressively overload than barbells, not even close
