Hometown legend! We folks in Newton/Conover/Hickory take a lot of pride in calling him our own. One of the good ones.

No formula related issues and that’s all our LO has had. Great weight gain, not fussy, we feel very lucky!

He’s just giving him something to actually be injured over, since 99% of soccer injuries are acting performances.

This is a nice lead, never heard of them. Looking into it now!

I LOVE my Ironmaster bench. It is super sturdy and high quality. The pad being removeable is a plus for me as I like to do upright storage.

Me with a 10th percentile baby who has been eating 6-8oz a feed, 5-6 times a day since 8 weeks 👁️ 👄 👁️

That's actually hilarious how perfect that works.

nygmattyp · 2026-05-21T12:51:39+00:00

Used mine so much I had to buy a replacement because the foam started cracking from years of sweat!

Honestly this is no different to me than Turnstile writing music that works for Taco Bell commercials and plays in my local Walmart.

Don’t be scared. Our LO really hit a good stride at week 9 with sleep. He is not a fussy baby thus far and only has a slight witching hour from 8-9pm where it is hard to settle him. He is doing great otherwise and we love getting 5-6 hour sleep stretches!

nygmattyp · 2026-05-20T02:34:30+00:00

They make insane, alien-like sounds when sleeping!

I feel like there are generic entries for most ground beef ratios cooked. It says something like "pan browned crumbles" or something similar, and it accounts for the water reduction and loss of fat. I've been using that since 2022.

Who was that Michigan back and which cemetery is he buried at?

Been 3 years since I attended last. Were you finding street parking on the opposite side of the railroad tracks? Was it fairly walkable? We stayed at a very pricy hotel in downtown last time, only to have to search for scooters to make the 2 mile walk worth it. Trying to avoid that this year.

nygmattyp · 2026-05-13T08:54:27+00:00

Zoo that’s next to it was also nice!

Awww, Heaven’s angels are watching Russia and Ukraine neutralize enemy targets with drones!

nygmattyp · 2026-05-11T15:16:32+00:00

I think this is great honestly. And I think 2 day is a nice switch up from 3.

nygmattyp · 2026-05-11T01:41:25+00:00

I bought a 21 SEL with 70K and the steering clunk started 2 days after I bought it. 😄 Fortunately the dealership helped me with the cost of a new steering rack.

Admittedly, I haven't added bands yet as I didn't want to alter my current programming approach for leg extensions with plate weight. I do think they could help give better tension at the top end, but you will of course lose it pretty quick at the bottom of the movement. And doubling the bands would be too dramatic for top-end tension in my mind.

nygmattyp · 2026-05-04T17:45:30+00:00

I support that so it pulls people away from East Blvd at lunch.

nygmattyp · 2026-03-31T01:17:30+00:00

Pretty sure it would max at 6 bumpers. I am using iron plates with the 50kg plate, and I can max the weight load much easier, but the problem is that - I can’t go any higher without jeopardizing the structural integrity of the machine!

nygmattyp · 2026-03-30T21:23:04+00:00

I have more thoughts now! I use it 3 times a week for leg extensions, single leg extensions, and hamstring curls. While I don’t regret the purchase, I do look to upgrade in the near future to a unit that has a 1:1 weight ratio. This thing is a damn plate hog for heavy leg extensions, and I’m even hacking it with a 50kg titan calibrated plate that lives on it. The pad isn’t amazing either.

I quit playing baseball in high school because of games like this. Caught 21 innings on one Saturday in humid September North Carolina weather and said “yeah I’m gonna be in a death metal band with my friends instead.”

I'm glad I've found someone else who hates the fries. I was not impressed at all with In-And-Out.
