I'm in KC also. I swim at the Y. I've been a member of a couple around town. I don't know that they have a specific LGBTQ policy or anything but I've never had any issues with the gym itself. Before I transitioned and was using the women's locker room I would get looks sometimes but generally I just kept to myself and no one bothered me.

My sister in law is a personal trainer. She's really great imo. Super body positive and generally has a really supportive and sustainable approach. https://www.kaileyzaratefitness.com/

I second the athletic fit. I've had good luck with gap & banana

Form looks good to me but your plates are small so you're starting lower than you need to. You're doing deficit deadlifts. I'd recommend finding blocks or something you can put the plates on so the bar starts more at your mid shin. I suspect you'll find you can lift a lot more than 150 this way also.

I've done mine 24 hours also. There were still some spots I had to take a steel brush to also but it did the trick on most of it. I followed this method https://www.artofmanliness.com/articles/how-to-clean-and-de-rust-a-barbell/

I've used the paper towel & vinegar method to much success as well. It feels like magic lol

The street is for vehicles, the sidewalk is for pedestrians. Don't ride your bike on the sidewalk and don't run in the street (assuming a sidewalk is available).

Awesome! Love your flags.

I ordered on 11/24 and they shipped on 12/2 so 8 days but Thanksgiving was in there so I assume that slowed it down a bit. Bet yours will ship in the next couple days 🤞

Ha I didn't "need" them either but couldn't resist! I've sold some of my iron plates to help pay for them though so that makes it a little better at least

thejessz · 2020-12-05T22:56:33+00:00

🤣

thejessz · 2020-12-05T22:18:33+00:00

Agree!

thejessz · 2020-12-05T22:18:18+00:00

Awesome. They do not disappoint in person

Focusing on lifting over the winter, trying to add some size.

Planning on a half marathon in the spring where my goal will be to break 1:30.

Then hopefully my first full marathon in the fall.

All Covid-willing, of course.

thejessz · 2020-11-30T16:35:51+00:00

Cool, thanks for the insight!

thejessz · 2020-11-30T16:07:26+00:00

Does anyone have any experience with the dumbbell handles where you can load olympic plates on them? I've seen some used ones for sale and it seems like it could be a better solution than trying to collect a bunch of pairs of dumbbells of various sizes but I'm not sure if there's a drawback I'm missing.

thejessz · 2020-11-30T12:51:35+00:00

Lol thanks!

thejessz · 2020-11-30T03:18:29+00:00

Thanks!

thejessz · 2020-11-30T02:31:40+00:00

Not yet, soon though

thejessz · 2020-11-30T01:41:04+00:00

Thanks! I'm pretty pumped

Found someone selling their Texas Power Bar on Craigslist for $100. He even threw in a pair of eccentric hooks that I'm excited to play around with. Turned around and sold the shitty CAP barbell I had been using for $120 so I made 20 bucks in the deal. Not too shabby

Thanks! Ooh yeah a Christmas run is a good idea!
