I've given up on squats in favor of leg press and my new favorite: the hack squat machine. I've hurt myself on squats--my back, hip, and knee--more than any other exercise, hands down. As annoyed as I am with moving to the student gym, the hack squat machine actually makes me look forward to...

I hope things get better for you, and even showing up at the gym with everything else going on says a lot about you.

Incline DB press?

Workouts have been consistent (lifting 5x/week, running 2-3x/week), but I think I'm abandoning calorie counting for now. The students are back, which means the gym is packed, but I've been able to get it done so far.

Never forget.

I prefer cable row to BOB row: I always feel like I'm either cheating on form or overthinking it with BOB row.

I've been unable to monitor my diet over the summer with all the travel and events (daughter just graduated high school). The training, however, has been consistent. Last week, after a trip with my youngest, I weighed in at 169: the heaviest I've been since the beginning of the pandemic. :(...

While it's probably been discussed upthread, @overgeeked , have you checked out Icons: Assembled? I really like it as it plays fast but has some granularity. I can convert old MSHRPG stat blocks to it with minimal fuss...

And whenever I see that car, I just think "that's someone whose dad didn't hug them enough."

I literally just finished Swords Against Deviltry this weekend, and yeah: off the rails. I read a bunch of F&GM stories BitD and enjoyed them, but I never read these. And in this, Fafhrd just straight up murders a 10 year old who gets in his way for the crime of being in the Thieves Guild when...

When do we get our next bit of footage?
