    I feel like I'm on a bit of a hamster wheel lately. I know I need to track calories and protein, and I've done so successfully in the past. Lately, however, when I get a day or two in, the wheels fall off completely. Because I'm not tracking that stuff, I feel like I'm not making meaningful...

    I was feeling my elbow in the last set of preacher curls (not sure what the bar weighed). Combined with how my knees felt after Sunday, I'm a bit worried about combining an increase in volume with lowering the rep range and going heavier for some movements. I've only just begun and I'm already...

    It is taking everything in me not to approach the young person on the leg extension and say “in the time it’s taken you to complete one set and a rest, I’ve completed 4 on other machines while waiting for you to stop playing on your phone.”

    D&D General What version of D&D are you playing?

    My forever hot-take is that 2e gets a bad rap.

    Ya Basic! Trying To Understand the Perception of AD&D and the Sales of Basic

    About 10 years ago, I played with a group that used the Perrin conventions (both sides going through each step). It baffled me because how are melee characters going to interrupt casting?

    I use compression elbow sleeves on most upper body exercises, and I use knee wraps for presses/squats. That seemed to help. I've also lightened my loads and upped my reps in general. Cutting down volume and using drop sets also seems to have done wonders.

    Nice! Are you using a spotter? A rack with a catch? How close to failure are you getting? I'd typically open my Saturday workout with bench, but I've never consistently had a spotter so I always ended up leaving a rep or two in the tank. I've recently switched over to the smith machine for...
