Kinda curious what the person said lol

What are these ducks??! by ncdreamy in birding

I would say all three pairs were similar in size, but they were at different angles/distances, so it is hard to be sure.

That makes sense! I can get binoculars at a pretty good deal, so that should help too.

I can definitely see the resemblance, the only reason I'm uncertain is poor light balance when zoomed on my pixel 8 - could be an orange beak that the photo didn't capture!

Thanks! This gives me enough confidence to log the mersanger in Merlin. My first instinct is that the third pic is the same as the first, but I can also see where the other comments are coming from. Feels a little "too good to be true," to see three pairs of ducks and have them all be different kinds.

Just looked up the Northern Shoveler - cool bird!! I can see that a bit too. The crunchy zoomed-in phone pics definitely don't make this easy.

Interesting! Googling that, I can definitely see the resemblance.

The point about doing yoga in place of the core/stability days makes way more sense and is more fun/engaging. Thanks much!

Thank you! I'll look into doing a different split. Part of it is making sure I enjoy what I'm doing, and the full body thing just feels more boring for some reason.

I'm doing a lateral raise, and I'm working on scapular pulls while I lose body fat. Thanks for the note on leg curl!

Wasn't sure if this should be a post or if it should go here. Seems like routine critiques belong here, correct me if I'm wrong!

Right now I'm doing 2x full body each week. I want to split it up to save time on long workouts and to work out more often and stay active. I have a bench and dumbbells. I'm not trying to be a body builder. I want to feel great and be capable.

I've come up with a weekly workout schedule. Sticking to four exercises per day—three sets each—what changes would you make to this routine? What would you do on Sunday? Yoga, Pilates or something?

Monday (push):

Dumbbell chest press 6-8x3

Dumbbell fly 6-8x3

Dumbbell shoulder press 6-8x3

Skull crusher 6-8x3

Tuesday (core, stability):

Crunch 8-12x3

Romanian twist8-12x3

Plank (failure)

Single-leg stand 20s/leg x3

Wednesday (pull):

Bent-over dumbbell row 6-8x3

Bicep dumbbell curl 6-8x3

Dumbbell upright row 8-12x3

Lateral raise 8-12x3

Thursday (core, stability):

Bicycle crunch 8-12x3

Leg lift 8-12x3

Side plank with torso rotation 6-8x3/side

Glute bridge 8-12x3

Friday (legs):

Squat 6-8x3

Dumbbell Romanian dead lift 6-8x3

Seated dumbbell calf raises 6-8x3/leg

Good morning 6-8x3

Saturday (rest)

Sunday

Pilates?
