@lurkerhasarisen 2/2

Other times, she tells me about relationships that have soured quickly, leaving her feeling awful after sex— something she believes her girlfriends never experience.

She confides, with visible embarrassment, that many of the men she’s interested in never call her again after sleeping with her. Preferring not to admit this to her friends, instead she will frame it as though she was the one who lost interest. The emptiness and hopelessness she feels in these moments is palpable to me.

Omfg I'm gonna write a RP post breaking down this shit. She only feels anything when she has man, gets pumped and dumped, her career bossing isn't making her happy. Typical

Some bullshit about how she is stressed with unfeminine schooling

OtherStacy dedicates considerable time and emotional energy to dating, seeking intimate connection. Some sessions, she arrives in noticeably higher spirits, buoyed by recent interactions with a man she’s interested in—texts exchanged, plans made, or even just the possibility of something more.

In these moments, there’s a vibrancy in her demeanour. She frequently tells me about how a dinner date ended in great chemistry back at her place.

I’m an idiot. I meant to put this in “The Hub” rather than here. I reposted it there.

OBE again, but I just ran across a surprisingly good article. More surprising is that it was written by a female psychologist (insane, amirite?).

So. Much. Red. Pill. (although I suspect she doesn’t know that guys like us have been talking about this since forever.). Even the comments are worth reading.

Also, Merry Christmas ya’ filthy animals!

Going from machines to free weights, I can push the same weights but dammit if the stabilizing parts of the lifts are on fire.

Think wrists, forearms for push/pull movements.

@Kloi I've never been a fan of max singles in the gym for those who compete. Save it for the meet. For those who don't, 2-3 times a year a year is plenty once you're past a beginner stage and want to test where you are. For me, low reps with heavy weight require a lot of mental focus I'm unable to provide now due to some work responsibilities, so I've been doing sets of 10 on the big 3, and sometimes even up to 20 on squats. It's been a pleasant shock to the system.

@lurkerhasarisen Oh no, there are three racks at the commercial gym I go to. I really wish it or the hardcore gym I go to when on my work trips would get a monolift. It may sound silly, but I've had joint replacements (not due to lifting) and now, walking back and setting up on squats is the hardest part of that lift for me. I'm sometimes unsteady when doing it. I'd love to have a monolift where you can just unrack and squat.

@Kloi

1RM is a replacement description for anything that requires one more push, but I dont really wanna die on this battlefield.

But then sometimes you just wanna know what is your 1RM.

Got bamboozled again. Only took one set to figure out on the plate loaded seated row, there's a 25lb starting weight.

In my defense I've always been a free weights guys. For an entire 30 seconds I couldn't figure out why my warm up weight felt heavy.
