Fancy seeing you smiling, lady! It suits you perfectly <3 Also, at least there's summer *somewhere*... weather here has been like eating fresh cherries in front of the fireplace, woolly socks and all.

Insert meme. Conversely, today's also the International Children's Day. So happy birthday and long live the inner child in y'all.

I've been wearing glasses for a long time, and absolutely need them. There is simply no way to be able to furiously touch toes and jump around without them flying, makeshift wedges at the hinge or not. Running is also ruined about 10 minutes in when they really start to slip. The only reliable solution for me are…

It's been raining cats and dogs here since forever, so... this! It's grown to be one of my favourites. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aFBRopKNGfw&list=PLgSH8j4kVtfJmbRwu4c2WYEQ0mzS2r7Zu&index=5

Thank you. Genuinely. Cuz this doesn't get said as much as it deserves.

This pretty much sums up my feelings for the day.

Hey there, nice seeing you too! Hope you've been good :blush: Yeah, I figured as much. People come, people go, but then there's also waves of stuff happening "in the real world" which make a lot of folks deactivate. Still, some come back :smiley: Hey T, so glad to see you around and well too! :blush:

How does one "come back" while setting no expectations whatsoever, like a wise and realistic adult? Is this MFP like the MFP of two or three years ago? Who's still around from back then? And what are you up to? And have you made it through the 2020 rollercoaster (at least almost) unscathed? I hope y'all did.

Don't confuse life expectancy at birth (which was still around 30-ish up until the 1900s) with how much people actually lived in the cavemen times... and up until living past 15 wasn't a 50/50 chance. OP, do what works for you. If you're able to progressively overload / advance your lifting with this eating schedule, if…

That's odd, I punched your numbers in a TDEE calculator and I'm not getting anywhere near your reported maintenance number of 3,800 - even with the „very active / athlete” selection for activity. Since increasing lean mass with minimal fat gain to go along usually means going for a low to moderate surplus, you might not…

If you don't mind me asking, are you making sure that what goes in (i.e. food) is duly recorded? Are you using a food scale and weighing everything before logging? Maybe that is worth looking into. Nevertheless, even if everything is absolutely on point, the math still doesn't add up sometimes. This is for a variety of…

1. Battlestar Galactica, the 2004 series. 2. Firefly, tied with your no. 2 (Punisher and Daredevil, but mostly Daredevil S2 because Punisher) 3. Black Mirror 4. Westworld 5. Okay, GoT and Breaking Bad too. 6. But also Nip/Tuck. And since we're here... Band of Brothers, Peaky Blinders, Sherlock, Stranger Things, then Parks…

After reading everything that follows, are you ABSOLUTELY SURE he is not 21? Can he grow a beard? Have you checked his ID? Just asking. I'll add my own doubt into the full hat here in what concerns that friend of yours. One, it's unnatural to throw free chocolate away. Two, the "he shouldn't know that you know that he did…

I'm a sucker for storm and fireplace white noises. This is a cute one for desktop - https://www.noisli.com. You can customize your own thing. Then there's also Rainymood.com which is... simply that.

So.. I'm only going to a public gym for the last two months, because the thought had been a little bit terrifying for a long time. But then I started going to a local one, near me. There's all sorts of people there. Not many female lifters, so the freeweights are mostly male kingdom. Most girls that do squats, do'em on the…

Thank you! :smile: Adore, right back at'cha! :blush: A lot of things helped with learning English here; mainly the fact that we don't dub movies and cartoons (like the Italians and Germans do... and oh boy, you can tell) - so kids pick up the language a lot quicker.

But y?

There ya go, sweetheart - https://vocaroo.com/i/s07bgcqKCbyj And I love what I heard. ❤️

Hi ladies, Quick update on this. I switched to a PHUL-type of training and results have been rather nice. 1RM estimates, via Strong App, converted from kg to lb: Romanian Deadlift: 176 lb (132*10) Squat: 180 lb (still weak as hell though. That was calculated from my last 40 kg / 88 lb * 20 reps. I'm scared of going very…

I missed tix for their concert in Vienna, which was closest to me :neutral: Maynard James Keenan is one of the best progressive / alt singers out there. I love everything that he put his voice behind - Tool, A Perfect Circle, Puscifer. Used to be a big metal fan when I was in high school. From Manowar to In Flames, from…

Thanks, sweetheart! Some of them are investments, others (like these) are 1-2 USD finds on aliexpress with free shipping. Great surprises when they arrive just as you've forgotten you ever ordered them. Gym day so contacts. Grazie :blush: :heart:

Thanks (again!), @sijomial. Went and read the examine.com article - very informative, with potential effects well-summarized. Of course, given the affordability of creatine, it makes sense to play around and see what fits. I'll start after next week on 18 g (0.3g/kg), and re-assess if there's digestive problems. I'll be…

This is next level. Also @Vikka_V you upped the stakes here so high, that your post is deserving of a new thread. Sorry @SwannySez and @CookingWithCumin

Super-cute family portrait, Tammy! :blush:

1 good, 2 good, 3 needs work. Not a 5/7, but I'll take it.

* Are you kidding me?! Toilet paper stands with a minimum of 2 TP rolls are *mandatory* - and, of course, kept up. Also, the use of Zewa flushable toilet paper tubes is a must. It's all about convenience and comfort in there. Contrary to popular middle-school belief, women go number 2 as well. * You know Dick, I'm not big…

Happy 2019, folks! It's been a while. In other news, I've ended the year with EXACTLY the weight that I started it with - 137 lb. So around 4+ lb above my initial bulking goal. My waist has gone up 1.5 inches since this summer. I'm around 135 now and started to cut. It's not SUCH a big fluctuation so it's basically still…
