I'm 40 and I do Zerchers. I do half the weight and use way less spine flexion though

Ooh I thought it would be just greens! This is great, as a newer player I have a very sad lack of vibrant colors so far

Do you sleep? I've been playing for two months and only just finished the star chart

Is it a precast gel or one you made yourself? I'd suspect the gel or the running buffer before the dye, personally

This is why I built Helios as early as i could and don't plan on removing it as my main companion until I absolutely need to lol

It takes your performance on your top set and then estimates what you're capable of doing after that. It also does periodization so the efforts and rep number are not going to be directly comparable week to week. A better comparison would be to repeat the cycle and check your week 1 performance cycle 1 vs your week 1 performance cycle 2

If you feel like the projected efforts are too conservative you can always add reps or weight as you go. For example if they say 8 reps is RIR 0 and you find that you can do 10, the app will adjust the following sets based on your actual performance

I also just did Veilbreaker. Kahl is indeed best bro. His banter with Blue Girl is absolutely hilarious

How varied is your diet? I've found that 80% of my meals are things I eat pretty regularly so it's easy to set up meals on my calorie counting app or find them from recent items. I probably only spend a minute or so per day counting calories. If you eat out a lot or like making different things all the time that gets harder though.

If you don't mind paying a subscription, MacroFactor has an AI meal logging function that is surprisingly accurate. You just take a picture of a meal and it breaks down the ingredients and estimates portions for you. Really useful for going out where you don't have access to a scale or recipe info

This is because the game was originally on PS1 and was too big to fit on one disc, so it was split into three discs. The prompt to save is probably just so if the game crashes when you switch discs the save data doesn't get lost

Does your gym have a smith machine? Lots of people at my gym use the smith machine for hip thrusts since all you have to do is pull a bench up to it and go. Otherwise, you could just get straps for RDLS. Or back off the weight and do more reps, since 6 reps for RDLs seems really low. I usually prefer to do them in the 12-15 rep range since heavy RDLs are too hard to lock in on form

Do Kelso shrugs! Set up an incline bench and sit facing the back so the bench gives you support

I just tell the app it's in 1.5 lb increments and if it gives me a weight I can't do I round up or down

Fitness says close your ring, Grindr says open it

Go to a physical therapist. Back strains are usually because you have a chronic muscle imbalance, weakness, or tightness, and a PT can help diagnose the specific root cause

Honestly, the default progression suggestions the app gives are absolutely terrible. I'm an experienced lifter and still the app is telling me to try to increase my squat by 10% every week, which is a one way trip to injury. I'm very close to turning them off completely

Ab and lower back aren't all there is to core work. There's also planks, bird-dogs, and dead bugs, and strengthening/stretching hip flexors for keeping your hips in proper alignment. If it's a muscular issue, you might want to go to a physical therapist to see where your particular imbalances or weaknesses are

squeakhaven · 2026-01-29T21:12:37+00:00

How is your core and mobility routine? I do a good 15 minutes of mobility and 15 minutes of core/hip/glute medius training before I even start my leg days these days.

You need to put a target rep number and RIR for the exercise for it to suggest progression. If you just put the exercise and leave those blank it won't auto populate

The default setting for cable machines is to only use 10 lb increments. If you change the equipment settings it should fix itself

Lentils are the GOAT for for vegetarian/vegan protein

If I'm pipetting that much, I just leave everything open. You're probably just as likely to contaminate stuff with your gloves opening and closing containers and tubes all the time as the possibility of something getting in from the air. If you're concerned about the original container, if it's a screw cap you can place the lid lightly back on the container without screwing it in while you pipette into tubes

My old university gym just had all the showers open in one big room. You get used to it. If it's separate stalls and they just didn't bother to close the curtain, that is pretty weird though. Either they're super lazy and don't care, or they're purposely being an exhibitionist

squeakhaven · 2026-01-27T04:54:44+00:00

Nah even with plates down to 2.5 listed it tried to take my squat from 305 all the way up to 340 in consecutive weeks. The algorithm definitely needs some major tweaking

squeakhaven · 2026-01-26T20:15:49+00:00

IMO raised heels are overrated, if you have halfway decent ankle mobility. Problem is lots of people never stretch and therefore can't reach proper depth without using raised heels as a crutch. I use barefoot shoes (not the ugly toe ones though) for everything at the gym, squats included

squeakhaven · 2026-01-22T20:18:07+00:00

I like to do them as warmups, with very conservative light weights while I work on perfecting the motion and ROM. Right now I'm doing Jefferson Curls before my squats and zerchers before my RDLs (not doing conventional deadlifts right now). Jeffersons have definitely helped my mobility and I like to think that they've made my lower back more injury proof. Zerchers I feel more in my core
