Are you still following that "legs most days" split you shared earlier? I'm curious about both your legs and your CNS. I'm considering upping my volume now that I have the summer (and thus more time).

Glad to read another Snarf essay. No arguments about the content here, and the inimitable style is always welcome.

I use Body Fat Calculator Is it objective? I'm sure it isn't. But since I'm only using it to gauge my relative progress, it's actually quite good! There are several ways to track body weight/fat. The probably more accurate one is to do it every day and average out the results over the course of...

Saturday morning weigh in and body comp check. I've been consistent in my training, but the diet has been trash at the end of the semester. Weighing in at 166.2 lbs and 17.8% body fat. If I want to get to 12%, it means I have to lose 9 or 10 pounds and not lose any muscle in the doing. Ugh...

I can't quite tell from the image: who is that?

Is a day between those two leg days sufficient rest for you? I also notice (in the second scheme), that you have a day of "heavy legs" followed by a day of deadlifts and squats, followed by "heavy legs," followed by another day of deads and squats. That seems like a lot to me, assuming I'm not...

I'm with you on chest press machines. I struggle finding a good deep stretch that doesn't hurt my shoulders. I've liked the hammer strength plate-loaded ones that don't start at the bottom, but those are about it.

You got this.

Looking lean!

How do you like your hack squat machine? Everything I've read indicates that they're great, but I always feel uncomfortable using the one in my gym.

From this and your description of your leg day, are you doing the one-part-a-day (or "Bro") split? How do you like it?

Mostly habit, but these days I'm here for the NuTSR thread and @Snarf Zagyg's posts. I'm a fan.

I went back to my old gym this week, and I'm already feeling much more encouraged than I was prior. Like @Scribe, I'm rehabbing my shoulder. For shoulder exercises (and chest presses), it's been baby weights for lots of reps and not pressing too close to failure. For everything else, I've been...

I think a lot of folks in the Internet Fitness Community (IFC) like to bag on Planet Fitness, but I honestly find most of their machines to be much better than those at other gyms. I went to one again recently while on vacation, and I forgot how much I enjoy the ergonomics of their machines.

My update: It's been a weird batch of months. Back in October, I cut down to 155 lbs, which is about 12% bf for me. I wanted to do an extended bulk and try to gain strength at a quicker clip than I had been. It was working! I had hit a PR on bench of 270 for 4 reps, I was maxing out some of the...

Whatcha benchin'?

The maps were the best part for me, easily. DotMM is a bit of a heart breaker for me. I have wanted to run an Undermountain campaign ever since I got my hands on the original boxed set back in the early 90s. I was positively buzzing to run it for 5e. My group bounced off it pretty hard...

This echoes a sentiment stated somewhere up thread, and speaks to some rather disheartening experiences I've had around agency that, at a glance, don't seem related to the base topic of the thread but share some themes. My Friday night game is a bit of a potpourri where everyone takes turns...

I'll post this here, as it's a Let's Read of the MSHRPG I'll post this forum link here as it's a Let's Read of the MSHRPG that's really more of a comparison between the Original and the Advanced MSHRPG. https://forum.rpg.net/index.php?threads/marvel-shrpg-advanced-set-1986.908351/ The TL;DR...
