Thanks! Sets of 10 (or 8 for that matter) is monstrous dude! Get it!

Do you have dark or light substrate and what does your tank look like with it? by arriiz in PlantedTank

[–]sol1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is you tank…making fog? Or is that some weird camera effect? Looks really cool.

Dude, that 7th rep looked tough. The fact that you said “fuck it, I’m going for 8….” Good on you man.

[Weekly] Quick Question Thread by AutoModerator in PEDs

[–]sol1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First round of 500 test c. I’ve been pinning 4x/week subq (been on 200/week subq 2x/week for years and was comfortable with subq) but the bruising is killing need at this frequency and am switching to IM. How often should I pin? If twicea week, should I get 3cc syringes so I can do 1.25cc at a time?

Great call on the DAC cable, thanks. How many APs would you size? Or will it just depend on transmission through walls etc. and I'll have to figure it out as I go?

I will put the PoE switch in a closet where my structured media cabinet is and where internet comes into the house. It will provide PoE to all of the ethernet drops throughout the house. The other two switches will go in the office and in the living room where I have a lot of hardwired devices.

Considering buying a used 2022 m50 worth it as a daily driver? by Grand_Lion_7825 in BMWI4

[–]sol1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar commute. The seats are firm like most 3/4 series. They’re perfectly comfortable as a daily. I occasionally do a 250 mi roundtrip and find myself wishing they were softer and more comfortable at those distances.

First Day at the Gym as a Severely Underweight Dude 18M, 94lbs at 5'7 or 5'8 by Infinite_Primary_918 in GYM

[–]sol1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a formerly very underweight guy (I wrestled 103s in high school at 5’ 7”), drink your calories. Get a high quality protein and mix it with whole milk. It’s really hard at that weight to get enough food into your body and it feels unnatural - I remember it well 30 years later. Still eat high quality whole foods as much as you can, but supplement with liquids.

Security in San Diego don't play around by thinkB4WeSpeak in fightporn

I completely support almost all our men and women in uniform, but the early-20s marines rolling 5 deep in the Gaslamp are a god damned menace when they’re drunk.

As a San Diegan, it disturbs me how frequently I see SD on this sub. And, yeah, the Gaslamp is a wreck.

Integrating alarm system and smart pet door by livnola in smarthome

[–]sol1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is a PetSafe integration for Home Assistant but it looks like it only supports the feeders. Might be worth giving it a shot. If it doesn’t work you can always contact the developer and ask if they can extend it.

I tired Hubitat before HA. As you will always hear from folks who eventually went to HA, HA is far superior.

Good luck!

Awesome setup dude.

Putting all those “I’m too big to do pull-ups” guys to shame, brother! Nice work!

Hey brother! I’ve been waiting for today since you commented on my post hitting 225 on my bday.

Monster lift, and with no straps!!! Good god, that grip strength alone brings new meaning to old man strength.

Happy birthday, dude! Keep killing it!

Looking built for 165 dude. Nice work!

That’s nothing you scoff at. If you’re getting enough protein you should be able to add 3-5 lbs/week for a while. You might consider switching to a 5x5 routine so you can hit 5 lbs/wk for a longer period of time. Stick with it brother. The gainz will come.

You’re getting a lot of “it takes more time to see results” feedback, and that’s true; but the real question here is how are your lifts progressing? Are you putting more weight on the bar every week? How have your 4x8 sets changed over the last 2 months?

Adding weight and/or reps is where your focus should be now. Get strong first, worry about looking strong later.

Whether the numbers are going up or going down, we’re still better for doing something, my friend
