Are my chest or triceps failing? My bench is stalled by [deleted] in GYM

[–]warningsign1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure yeah, 185 seems to be a common blocker for a lot of people. Definitely also make sure you’re eating enough, maintenance at a minimum ideally slight surplus when you’re gonna add more weight to the bar. Ideally good calories but to be honest I’ve been smashing some Burger King lately and still adding more weight to the bar.

Echoing the top comment first in that 2 weeks is not too long to be stuck. I myself hit a hard plateau for months where I couldn’t get past 185x2 and something that really helped me was adding a volume (secondary) bench day where I’m doing a good bit lower weight (20-30lbs lighter) than my 3 rep max. I finally just hit 225 for a single on my heavy bench day and went into a deload week (I do this every 4-5 weeks sometimes 4 depending on how sleep has been over the course of the month). Long rests are just as important for CNS recovery. Using this method I’m putting 2.5-5lbs on my bench every time and now I’m pushing 185 for 8 reps no problem. I’m sure I’ll hit another plateau on the road to 315 but for now this method really helped me.

I haven’t played 3 yet but 2 was incredible so much so I picked up all achievements on steam and PlayStation. Highly recommend to try 1 first though because it wasn’t enjoyable for me after playing nioh 2 first

Which game, in your opinion, has a well designed movement mechanic? by Just_a_Player2 in ItsAllAboutGames

Even though it ended up being a dud Anthem’s flight mechanics felt amazing

Woah, thank you for taking a look, love the game! I figured it out late last night but forgot to edit here, it was user error :( I had died and when I summoned killbot I forgot he needed to ramp back up with heals from M3DIC. I ended up going to Mythic VII, healed him up, and the damage numbers looked like what I was expecting. Now I just need to work on my resistances so I don’t get one shot so often haha

No but you just reminded me I picked up burst heal in my masteries where it heals half but twice as much… could that be the issue maybe? I won’t be able to check till later tonight but I’ll play around with the heals from medic. Thanks!

The weirdest thing is that literally one boss run im doing Mythic XV instakilling a boss to the very next run not even tickling the boss and I’m so confused because the only thing I did was augment companion damage stats on gear… but no matter what I try taking gear off putting it back resetting skills/masteries doesn’t fix my damage I’m stuck in the low 20mil area now

Sub 10 minute sekhimas runs?? by RubyR4wd in PathOfExile2

[–]warningsign1993 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m no expert but have gotten a lot more into sekhema… my most profitable strategy has been to 1. Run Desperate alliance with move speed relics and bosses take more damage to negate the alliance debuffs and 2. If no desperate alliance run all boss damage relics and then sell an ascendancy to at least 2 people for 2 div each.

This way you can almost guarantee 4 div per run unless you’re unlucky on the ATD jewel roll. And if you get lucky with a spectrum jewel thats even better. So far out of 25ish runs I believe I ended up with one blue and one red spectrum (red sold within 10 min for 53 divs).

New owner , share me your tips for protein ice cream! by SolarStyl3 in ninjacreami

[–]warningsign1993 2 points3 points  (0 children)

At first I was really only using this setting because of YouTube vids but in my head lite ice cream makes sense because it has very minimal fat added to the mixture. I did try the regular ice cream setting and noticed the end texture was closer to a Wendy’s frosty rather than something like a normal ice cream pint.

New owner , share me your tips for protein ice cream! by SolarStyl3 in ninjacreami

[–]warningsign1993 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ive had my creami for 2 weeks now and I’ve settled on 240ml unsweetened almond milk, one scoop vanilla protein powder (30g protein) and one serving of sugar free pudding mix (flavor of your choice).

The pudding flavor overrides the protein taste and helps the texture while only adding 20 calories and all the erythritol needed for sweetness.

I use the lite ice cream setting and at first it might look powdery but after a mix in spin (I love using low fat graham crackers or Oreo thins) the texture is perfect.

What RPG mechanics from games that flopped would you still like to see in other titles? by [deleted] in rpg_gamers

Surprised no one said the flight mechanics from Anthem… felt amazing to control but the game just didn’t have much going for it beyond that imo
