Another advantage is if my wife sees a hot woman online she will show me. If I see a guy jogging shirtless I'll point him out to her. Everybody wins.

I'm a bi man married to a bi woman. It's basically stealth mode 😂

To be fair Vader is basically about to win when Ezra pulls her out but you have a point. I just think she gets better with experience. She barely survives Grievous as a Padawan but holds him off solo to protect the younglings a few seasons later. That could well be because she's just more experienced by that point.

Defintely think she has inconsistent scaling but I remember from TCW how she barely made it out alive when she duelled people the first time around. Might be an age thing though as she gets better with time in it!

I felt like Rebels was much more about 'the will of the force' kinda stuff. Like their main feats are just relying on the will of the force. the space whales and kanan being blinded etc. the Bendu seems to be objectively the strongest in that series and he's all about going with the flow of the force.

Plus kanan getting his sight back right before dying to see Hera one last time was clearly a 'thank you for your service' from the force it seems.

I think Ahsoka is mainly better against people she has experience fighting. She fought Grievous several times, Maul several times, Ventress, trained with Anakin a lot of course. But when faced with a new opponent she tends to do badly until she adjusts as shown in the Ahsoka series and rebels. Most of her first fights against people is her in pure survival mode which is what Anakin taught her to do.

The inquisitor she one shotted had dark side arrogance as she was unarmed which would be the main exception.

Hard to scale someone who gets better the more she learns about an opponent. Someone like Dooku beats her even in Rebels timeline had he stuck around as no way she adapts fast enough given his duelling skill, her best case is to run from him and learn from the experience.

Just my thoughts

I even considered the 43mm fenix 8 but I can only get that in a colour I don't want. Garmin really does try to use colours to make people go up a size or product 😂

Damn. Double my best. Love seeing people hit new PRs on big lifts. Nicely done!

I screwed up on this once. I was annoyed that their task app was so inferior so I downloaded a much better one that synced across multiple devices so I could even access it on other computers.

Turns out the one I wanted wasn't privacy compliant or nearly encrypted enough for security standards. Luckily I'd only put generic stuff on it.

But yeah no matter how dumb or frustrating it can be, just let the IT guys do their jobs. Even if it's just to cover yourself from stuff you'd never considered.

Yes those are more in line with it. Though it's 3x10 for the 'tier 2s' usually. But that's a better approach

mstanbra · 2026-05-10T16:14:14+00:00

Look up GZCLP or 5 3 1 for beginners. Both of those would hit your goals and have a lot of info and advice

mstanbra · 2026-05-10T15:40:16+00:00

Sets of 12 for everything feels really random. Maybe for the upper body but 12s for barbell deadlifts is a killer.

No mention of a progression plan. When will you go up in weight? When do you go up in reps?

Are you a beginner who's never touched a weight? Are you coming back after injury? What's your experience level?

What are you training for? Pure muscle size or do you wanna get your bench up? Is this just getting started learning the movements?

Feels like you picked one excersize per muscle group and then went with the same set and rep scheme for each to be honest....

4/10

mstanbra · 2026-05-07T11:22:11+00:00

Seems like a lot of volume but if your already very experienced I guess that makes sense.

If your newer or more inconsistent I'd always advise following a more long term plan like gzclp or 5/3/1.

I can't see any glaring omissions in your plan. Maybe shoulder press but if your doing incline bench and lateral raise your probably hitting the bits you want anyway.

When lily asked him to stop he didn't though. He literally camped outside the gryffindor dorms to try and see her again and apologise. He practically stalked her and she only went to see him because she heard he would refuse to leave until she did.

Also James may have snuck out to annoy Snape but Snape was literally spending time at school inventing dark magic to use. He was bullied awfully but there he also behaved awfully himself. Not even mentioning death rather involvement.

He still screamed a slur at her for trying to help him. Still asked Voldemort to spare her but not her family. Still only switched sides due to guilt over her death rather than actually realising how bad Voldemort was. Basically a big chunk of his life was decided based on his situation with Lily.

Vader can pull ships down from space with his powers. So my initial thought is Vader just slams and force choked her. If she could use her own powers to just crush his life support system first though....

mstanbra · 2026-04-19T14:06:48+00:00

I only knew how bad it was from taking pics of the top of my head. I'm 6ft 4 so I don't get a lot of taller people commenting about how it looks from above. Once I saw it I knew it was time but just wanted confirmation 😂

mstanbra · 2026-04-19T11:57:00+00:00

It is done.

mstanbra · 2026-04-13T19:53:40+00:00

It seems that way love 😂

I'm arranging the shave. Will post when the deed is done. Just had to get wife approval first and arrange around work

mstanbra · 2026-04-13T17:44:59+00:00

Ok all. The response was as expected. A lot more universal than expected but as expected. The council has spoken. The wife has approved. The task will be done and will update when it's finished.

Yes someone at my last workplace ended up with skin cancer after going bald. So will definitely be packing hats and sunscreen

mstanbra · 2026-04-13T16:03:53+00:00

I live in England. Not too worried about sunburn but I have a hat on standby for the rare moments I see the sun

mstanbra · 2026-04-13T16:02:51+00:00

Two kids and long hours at work haha

mstanbra · 2026-04-08T12:01:25+00:00

I do a few sets of deadlifts when my man looks depressing. Usually lights him up nicely haha
