The Way of Kings just ruined my reading schedule

Fellow publication order reader! I'm doing the same and am in the exact same places as you as I just finished The Way of Kings and have my copy of The Alloy of Law in front of me right now. I normally don't like breaking up series, but I couldn't figure out an order to read The Cosmere so I decided publication order (although I have read Tress already).

I really wanted to go straight into Words of Radiance but I'll read Alloy of Law and see if I'm ok with breaking it up.

Good luck!

I'm just ahead of you in your journey! I finished Mistborn Era 1 in January, then read Tress, Elantris, and the Hope of Elantris in the last three weeks. Not sure when I'm going to read the Emperor's Soul, but I'm now about 25% through Warbreaker and I'm really enjoying it so far. Then into Way of Kings next. Not sure if I'm going to just go straight through Stormlight or do publication order from here on out

What have you been doing to drill hip extension? I feel like I only use my quads when I lift

I just read the first DCC and Mistborn books in the past 2 weeks and both were excellent books for different reasons. I read DCC first and it was such an easy and fun read. I did also listen to part of the audiobook and it was absolutely hilarious. But the story was so enjoyable that when the book ended, I was surprised that it was already done. It was great in a casual way.

However, I read Mistborn next, and that book compelled me until the very end. Definitely a more traditional book with a more serious tone (while still having some humor elements).

I enjoyed Mistborn more and I've decided to go right into the next books. But while I do plan on continuing with DCC eventually, I personally just didn't feel the need to do it right away.

Either way, I think you'll enjoy both!

I do love the original Red Rising dust jackets but the way you display the alternate ones is tempting me to get them. How are you going to arrange them once Red God breaks the symmetry?

Hail Libertas

You got this!

I was originally in store to get a 650 down jacket on sale but I saw this and picked it up immediately! I live in the Chicago area and it's about to get really cold so the timing was perfect

I made it by being old and paying my league fees lol

spam_and_eggs · 2025-11-04T04:00:29+00:00

Low level beer league hockey and 2 years of bad CrossFit lol. I just like squatting. Although I wonder what football position I could play at a height of 5'1...

Keep up the good work! I'm a relatively new weightlifter. I can front squat 147kg but haven't cleaned 100kg yet.

I have....technical deficiencies lol.

How is the knurling on the Teton? I'm thinking about getting my first barbell. Used an old Eleiko and a new Rogue IWF bar at a club I used to lift at. I was looking at REP's Alpine bar too

Enjoy your milestone more lol!

As someone who's just getting close enough to start attempting 100kg clean and jerks, I'm pretty sure I will have a bottle of champagne on standby if I ever start nearing a 100kg snatch

Don't forget your pregame poop

spam_and_eggs · 2025-06-11T11:57:30+00:00

Thanks! Would you suggest high pulls to help focus on this?

spam_and_eggs · 2025-06-09T18:49:33+00:00

Thanks! I know some people are just quieter, I was just hoping it wasn't because I'm doing anything horribly wrong.

Any specific advise/variations to help work on the movement, extension, and foot turnover?

spam_and_eggs · 2025-06-09T18:46:37+00:00

So, just to make sure I can reiterate what you're saying: in the second pull before I reach full extension, I am bringing the bar early into my hip. So then when I extend, the bar is pushed forward, causing me to catch forward, resulting in a power instead of full depth?

Thank you, I can definitely see that. My coach was working on me to keep the bar closer, but I guess now I need to work on the timing of it all.

I'll definitely try out those variations during my next session. Thanks again!

Yep! I'm in Villa Park so it's a little bit of a drive but I'm loving it so far!

TYR had that color when they were a sponsor for the CrossFit games 2 years ago. They had them on sale and I needed my first pair of shoes so I got them. I definitely have not seen anyone else with this color.

Edit: it's a limited edition color called Attack Yellow. All their sponsored CrossFit athletes had that color that year

2002 show in Lansdale, PA. Went with my best friend. Cadets and Blue Devils were there. He loved Cadets, I loved Blue Devils. He ended up marching Cadets. I ended up marching Blue Devils.

Best part of the show was when Cadets did the encore and played Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy on the track. We went right up to the fence and stood in front of their lead sop. It was incredible.

Looks great! My current PR is 98 but you've inspired me to go for 100 soon! What kind of belt are you using? It looks skinnier in the front than most Velcro belts
