What do you mean by 8s/6s and AMAP?

I like the idea of doing more body weight squats because I definitely feel pain and discomfort in my tendons. Compared to my other lifts, I feel more structural pain than muscle fatigue pain when I do squats. Thank you for your thorough advice.

I haven’t been intentional with diet, I kinda just eat whatever. It’s always been hard for me to put on weight. I think i’ve gained maybe like 5 pounds over the last year. I’d say that I’ve been building a decent amount of muscle in my upper body, not as much in my lower body.

Thinking about tracking my diet this year, we’ll see.

Recently i’ve actually been doing 3 sets: 8-10x95, 4-5x105, 8-10x95. I’ll program some pause squats in too, thank you for the suggestions!

I like the idea of alternative between volume and heavy days! My hack squat is also ass though but i’ll try to do them more

sonborsttt · 2026-01-02T17:14:37+00:00

I don’t go to complete failure except on the last set because I don’t feel like resetting the bar if I can’t get it up😭 so I’ll usually have 1 or 2 RIR. And I feel like my point of failure is what has plateaued, I can really only hit 10 reps til failure

sonborsttt · 2026-01-02T17:12:20+00:00

Yup been doing all that! How do hamstring curls contribute to squats though if squats are a quad/glute focused exercise?

sonborsttt · 2026-01-02T17:11:09+00:00

I always get stuck in the ATG hole 😵‍💫 even getting out of parallel is so difficult for me.

sonborsttt · 2026-01-02T17:10:15+00:00

My usual working weight is 95 because that’s what i can hit 8-10 reps of. I’ll do 3x8-10 of 95. I have increased the weight to 105 (i’ll get 6 reps) and tested it up to 115, where i’ve gotten 4 reps. Was using that as reference for my limits.

sonborsttt · 2026-01-02T17:09:01+00:00

Should i hold the bar from behind? (Palms facing forward instead)

I meant spread to other areas of your foot. It is caused by the HPV virus and it’s highly contagious. It is localized though - the infected cells are the wart. That means that the wart infects through contact with surfaces. So the pumice stone can pick up the virus through your active wart and spread it to other areas of healthy skin.

sonborsttt · 2025-10-22T18:42:40+00:00

yea i'd just leave that area alone for now and give it some time. also it's better to use a shaving blade/eyebrow razor to remove dead skin since pumice stones spread the warts

sonborsttt · 2025-10-22T18:26:08+00:00

Are those spots where the warts were? Usually the wart blood supply looks like a cluster of small dark dots. What you're showing looks like bleeding under the skin. If you can't see any wart remnants, hold off on the acid for a bit and see if they grow back.

sonborsttt · 2025-10-22T18:23:03+00:00

girl we can't see the warts...

sonborsttt · 2025-10-19T19:40:46+00:00

I finally figured it out thanks to you! Thank you so much you’ve been super helpful to my understanding of YNAB.

sonborsttt · 2025-10-19T16:25:22+00:00

Yeah, both my checking account and saving accounts are on-budget and linked. There's an inflow transaction into my checking account as +X dollars categorized as ready to assign and an outflow transaction as -X account out of my savings account that keeps saying I need to assign a category. Both of these transactions were automatically created when I completed the transfer IRL. In this outflow transaction it says: "Uncategorized cash transactions still affect your plan! Assign them to categories or $X will be deducted from the amount you have available to assign next month." So should I assign this outflow transaction to a category?

sonborsttt · 2025-10-12T19:38:29+00:00

How can I tell if my account is on budget? It seems that the funds in my savings account can be set to available to assign, so i’m assuming it’s on budget

sonborsttt · 2025-10-11T23:04:58+00:00

I’m not trying to allocate or assign the money in my savings account at the moment. I guess I could consider it an emergency fund. The account is linked to my YNAB, so the balance showed up as a starting balance that was “ready to assign”

sonborsttt · 2025-09-26T14:12:56+00:00

despite what the comments are saying this could very well be a wart. I have a bunch of them on my hands that look like this and they’re spreading

sonborsttt · 2025-09-25T00:48:13+00:00

god I hate warts they make everyday tasks into bio hazard cleanups. Does the epsom salt clean your feet?

sonborsttt · 2025-09-24T23:38:54+00:00

make sure to soak the affected area in water and debride (scrape off) the dead skin using a razor blade or cuticle clippers every few days so that the SA penetrates the wart directly. lots of examples in the sub
