Was just about to @ you in a response to this thread, haha.

I've seen similar stuff, but I have to say that one of the things I'll likely miss from the student gym is the seated (bent-knee) calf press. I dunno why, but my calves get fried on that machine vs. the straight-legged calf extensions I've done years prior at the townie gym. I'm sure some of...

I don't remember: does a cover of the song count? If so, I'm out. Otherwise I have somehow made it this far.

My dude can press! What's your diet/calories looking like these days?

Aaaaaand that was the final straw. I planned my workouts over break accounting for the student gym's limited hours. I went today and discovered that the lot was closed for a game they didn't bother to announce. Again. I went back to the townie gym and reactivated my membership. The equipment...

I've switched to hack squats and never looked back. You're making me want to swap B'bell BO Rows back in now. shakes fist

I prefer standard array and point buy for the games that I run to avoid drama and hurt feelings (much like @Clint_L). However, when I get a chance to roll? Let's go! I recently played an X-Crawl Classic character with a 3 Intelligence but slightly-above-average scores in Stamina and...

That all makes sense. I haven't done B-O BB Rows in awhile; they're one of those exercises that's too easy for me to get in my head over: "am I cheating? Is my back rounding? Are my knees supposed to move? Am I feeling this the right way?"

2025 was a good year with some lessons learned. Pretty much all of my gaming is online (Roll20) these days as my closer friends have left the area for good jobs. -Sunday Night is my "main" game of regular players that I DM for. We played Dungeons of Drakkenheim using the 5e 2024 rules. It was a...

What kind of scale are you using? I'm asking you and @Scribe about this stuff because I'm--very reluctantly--getting back to cutting and would like to make sure I'm not losing too much muscle. Like Scribe, I'm guessing I'm around 20%.

Do you have a goal for BF%? What do you estimate is your current BF%?

You'll be missed!

I'd offer another vote for Forge of Fury. I'll also say that I really, really enjoyed Ythryn from Rime of the Frost Maiden. I don't find extended dungeon crawls with the 5e rules to be very fun, but Ythryn's approach as a broad, shallow sandbox of mini-dungeons works really well for it. My group...
