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...

Tragically, no. I've liked the first FASERIP retroclone, which basically takes the chassis from a mashup of Basic and Advanced and mashes it up with the Great Power supplement for Icons: Assembled. Though I don't condone piracy, I will note that a Google search will disclose a pile of PDFs...

This is a hobby horse of mine and pedantic as hell, but I would say the original yellow box for the Marvel Superheroes RPG (1984). A lot of people think of it as the basic version of the more widely known (and loved) Advanced rules (1986), but they're quite different beasts and play at the table...

100% this. V:tM (2nd ed) was such a watershed RPG for me in high school. But even my first pass at it had me house-ruling to shore up some of the obvious sticking points. By the time we got in college and realized how many more botches were being rolled with high skill characters, we kind of...

I finally broke down and hit "Ignore." I can't help but wonder why someone would hang out on a primarily 5e board only to use any conversational opening/excuse to bash the edition even when no one asked or it's not germane to the topic at hand. What is this experience affording you?
