    The Biggest Smont ever! 🤔 Lets find out

    I would encourage you to look at some of the numbers. This is not even considering that housing has way outpaced inflation nationwide, but just based on pure inflation: $9/hr back even as recently as 1990 would be the equivalent of $22/hr in 2025 (and inflation in 2025 to 2026 was a crazy...

    The Biggest Smont ever! 🤔 Lets find out

    I don't know, I think it's understandable. Situation for young adults these days is sort of fucked compared to when we were coming up. Inflation has made COL shoot up and salaries have not increased to match and housing costs have increased at even faster rates than inflation. Super...

    Jimothy's Back (and worse than ever)

    Just wrapped up a pretty solid pull session, all things considered. At a different gym than usual for this day, so machines a bit different, but effort level was very high and was able to progress some weight on exercises that were the same across gyms. Amazing what 450mg caffeine and a little...

    It's a weird thing, because the longer you stay in the job, the more money you need just to be able to stay in the job. It goes out damn near as fast as it comes in (especially in NYC) because you have to outsource your whole life. No time to cook? Gotta order food or buy meal prep services...

    Didn't make it to the gym this morning, or bed last night. Got 90 minutes of sleep sitting at my desk. Might try to run to the gym around lunch and (hopefully) log off early today. Will see how it goes.

    I only subscribe to it if I'm taller than you; if I'm shorter than you then height doesn't matter.

    The staffing people know, but nothing they can do about it. Not like any of the partners would drop me from their deals just because of have work on another partner's deal. They haven't given me any new staffings for a while, but I haven't had anything close in a long time and a lot of my...

    Yeah, I have maybe an hour or two of productivity after the gym, but that's just until the rest of the 500mg of caffeine I took to get to the gym wears off and then I'm struggling to keep my eyes open at my desk. Would really like a more regular schedule so I could train in the afternoon or...

    Honestly, think the Atlantis at my other gym feels a bit better than the Pannatta one. Part of that maybe is that I couldn't get the ramps set up high enough on the foot plate to really take advantage of them because it's a bit too wide for the hooks they come with, but I'm gonna try to get the...

    Was always my best lift back when I competed. Would always end up in the later flights with the guys in heavier weight classes at the start of the meet based on my squat opener, and then would immediately come back to Earth and put up a paltry little bench and deadlift lol.

    Yeah, I don't know that that was the primary selling point (just price, really), but just figured it'd be nice to have them for a meet if I ever did one lol. Don't know that this holds true, but generally figured if IPF allows them then most of the cooler feds probably do too.

    I want to say yes, but it's been awhile since I ordered and I don't want to lie to you lol. Think I bought off Amazon, and looks like the IPF certified ones they sell there are 7mm, so feel like those are the ones I grabbed. Recently got their elbow sleeves too, which I've been pleased with...

    The Gymreapers ones continue to work well for me. Obviously haven't put years of wear and tear on them yet, but can't complain about how they've held up over the past 4-6 months or however long I've had them.

    Haven't blown up my bathroom yet today (major change from the past few weeks), so might've been the SNS Lean GLP I had added towards the tail end of the cut before I went on vacation. Will see what the next couple of days look like.

    Got 7 hours that night lol. Only 5 last night though, so that could've gone better. Good thing I only had cardio today.
