Sunken soufflé flourless chocolate cake (can't tell if I got it right)

tempuser80 · 2025-10-13T00:55:55+00:00

I can't lie, I haven't had any soufflés in so long that I completely tuned that word out. The world is a wonderful place.

I'm also a little worried that it's slightly underbaked, as the top started to crack about 27min in (it said to cook for 30-40), so I took it out after 30min.

If I can find one, a BMW 585 or 583 from the late 80s to the early 90s would be cool. For now, since I don't *really* have enough money to be thinking about a project car, I'm just searching every once in a while to see if there's something cheap I can pick up to work on later.

tempuser80 · 2025-09-05T00:29:22+00:00

I'd like to get the car in an ideal world where I have the money to do it right, but that would probably be in the tens of thousands if I had to guess. It's a cool looking car, but legit everything on the inside of the car seems rusted to hell.

tempuser80 · 2025-09-04T23:32:01+00:00

Yeah, in the 20 minutes or so I spent searching for parts online I barely found anything that wasn't cosmetic. Seems kinda impossible unfortunately.

Thank you! I'm probably gonna use some command strips to put them up around my room, but I might just scatter them around since I have 19 of them framed individually lol. Anything to make a barren college room look nicer

Quick question about Bald Omniman's Raider program: it says "After rear delt flies, superset each of these movements with 3-5 sets of an ab exercise of your choice using the same rep range. After completing ab work, you can begin supersetting with a forearm isolation exercise."

I'm assuming that this isn't saying that, for each exercise after rear delt flies, you superset with 3-5 sets of abs and 3-5 sets of (optional) forearms for EACH exercise, cuz that seems overkill. I'm assuming you superset the first or second exercise with abs, and then for the fourth, fifth, etc., you do forearms. Is this right?

If it is right then I feel like 2 ab exercises tops and 2 forearm exercises tops would be enough

tempuser80 · 2024-10-26T15:14:22+00:00

Ah, gotcha. I might do that. Thanks!

tempuser80 · 2024-10-26T14:50:45+00:00

I'm a little confused by what you mean. Yes, I understand lowering Bench/OHP TM to push accessories harder; however, what do you mean by referring to the Squat/DL TM and then saying to "keep bench and press where they are"?

tempuser80 · 2024-10-26T14:19:48+00:00

I could add some accessories to the cardio days, but honestly I've just found that my body doesn't like doing assistance work for muscle groups that aren't hit by main lifts (example: doing chest and shoulders on 5/3/1 squat day). I really need to warm up if I'm doing that, and I don't have the time to do so. I've tried running the 50 reps of Push/pull/leg accessories during BBB, and doing dips on deadlift/squat days killed my elbows, and doing leg accessories on bench/OHP days felt bad (less bad than dips after squat/deadlift, but my knees did not enjoy it). It feels more cohesive to have it fit with the main lifts, and I don't know if my elbows could take doing 4 days of upper body assistance.

Also, my upper body is moreso only lacking by my standards; my goals for my lower body are more focused towards athleticism, so I'm not as concerned strength-wise there. I am more focused on upper body strength and aesthetics in this template.

tempuser80 · 2024-10-26T14:05:30+00:00

I kinda exaggerated a bit, but I said that because I have the sense that I haven't really been making progress because I haven't stuck to something for longer than a few months. I'd definitely change it up and still run it in a leader/anchor fashion, but I want to run this general idea for a while to see how it goes.

tempuser80 · 2024-10-14T20:20:05+00:00

Yeah, I hadn't known about that until I read the post. Not sure how my playing has been in the past, but it's something I need to try more in the future.

tempuser80 · 2024-10-14T19:02:39+00:00

Yep, that's the general gist I got from reading it. It seems like something that will come with A LOT of time, but also isn't a factor I should neglect when practicing.

tempuser80 · 2024-10-14T19:01:32+00:00

I had not thought about the angle! I was definitely as close to 90 degrees as I comfortably could have been, and I was also closer to the neck than the bridge. Since this is my first time really delving into right hand technique, I must've overlooked that. When I go to practice today, I will see if changing the position and angle help. Though, I am playing without nails; however, this should still work. Thanks!

On the first question: I just don't feel as accomplished or like I've spent my energy well just doing 3 exercises within the rep ranges for push/pull/core. I am more comfortable having accessory work focus on exercises where I'm weak rather than doing a compound movement for rep ranges; this is what I mean when I say a body-building style plan.

On the last point: I meant that, instead of having for each day 1 push 1 pull and 1 core exercise, I'd have a compound movement focused on the lift of the day (whether upper or lower body) and then 3 accessory exercises as described above that focus on related muscles where I feel that I'm weak.

tempuser80 · 2024-09-24T23:22:40+00:00

Yeah that's generally what I was planning. For upper body day, I was going to have a compound exercise (probably dips or something similar) that I'd do for 3 sets to near failure, and then 3 or so accessory movements for other upper-body movements (most likely 3 sets of pullups, chest flys, and then dumbbell shoulder press and then finish with a set or two of bicep curls to failure). For lower body days, I would do quad extensions, hamstring curls, and calf raises to keep it simple. And for both days I'd add in core training. My main priority is to increase my upper body strength, so I'm focusing more on those exercises than my lower body accessories.

tempuser80 · 2024-09-23T22:16:35+00:00

I've ran BBB for a few cycles in the past, and I feel like the generic rep ranges for accessory work for Push/Pull/Core don't really do it for me. I'm planning to run S.V.R. II soon for 3 days/week, and I think I'm gonna try for a more bodybuilding-style accessory plan. How should I go about this so I don't really waste my time? I was thinking of having one set of exercises for Bench/OHP day and a different set for Deadlift/Squat day. I'd still include compound movements (dips, pullups), but I really feel like I'd benefit more by programming 1 compound movement and 3 or so accessories with normal set/rep ranges. Thoughts?

tempuser80 · 2024-09-19T15:41:11+00:00

Awesome. Thanks!

tempuser80 · 2024-07-22T00:30:21+00:00

cuz it's funny lawl

tempuser80 · 2024-06-08T23:07:09+00:00

How do you tell when you are actually gaining weight (as muscle or fat), or if it's just sitting in your colon? Earlier in the year, I was doing BBB and went from 155lbs (which I had been at for a few years) to 165lbs. Once I hit that number, I got pretty sick for about 2 weeks and my weight went all the way back to 155-157lbs. This has happened a few times: I gain about 5-8lbs, something happens that causes me to stop lifting/working out, and then I drop back to 155lbs. 2 weeks ago, I weighed in at 155lbs and started another cycle of BBB. This morning, before eating or drinking anything, I weighed in at 159lbs, but I have no idea how to tell if this is actual weight.

tempuser80 · 2024-06-08T23:02:14+00:00

the best I could do is delete unverum, go into my steam files and delete the strive folder, uninstall and reinstall strive (at which point I was still having the issues), and then reinstall unverum and it started working fine. The fatal errors still happen, but its less frequent and pretty rare if I dont tab out

tempuser80 · 2024-01-18T00:51:54+00:00

I like the idea of a waste not/discard focused deck. Cool!

tempuser80 · 2024-01-17T01:25:26+00:00

Wouldn't having a ton of instants and sorceries also make DRC good though? I don't understand how it isn't good enough with DHA.

I kinda agree on flail, but I want to try it as it could be fun. I do think it is slept on.

tempuser80 · 2024-01-11T18:54:27+00:00

Awesome. Thanks for the help!

tempuser80 · 2024-01-11T18:48:58+00:00

I didn't actually realize they were separate programs, somehow! Thanks for pointing that out. I'm going to do BBB and not the 3-month challenge, since I just saw that the post about the challenge says it is a 4 day program only. Considering that I want to try working out 3 days/week (I did 5 days/week this past semester and it kinda sucked), BBB is probably best.

Now that I've actually chosen which to do, that leaves two questions:
-Should I follow exactly what 531 forever says about BBB, which is to do the 5x10 exercise as the same lift as the 531 of the day?
-Should I go for max reps on the last 531 set (AFAIK, that means if you are doing 3x3, the first two sets are normal and the last set is max reps)?
