    I usually get a little bit of soreness, but I'm walking like a fuckin' penguin here.

    I know right? It's only 200lbs of weight. I think the bulgarian split squats (with 40lbs of weight) is more aggressive though. I'm doing 3x12 on them per leg.

    Didn't do legs for a couple weeks because of the above excuses (travel and then sickness), have DOMs after my leg workout. This is bullshit.

    Nothing in particular, just general lifting. I'm willing to try something different, but I only have access to dumbbells.

    I don't have a strong opinion about my workout program but leg day looks like: 3x8 squats 3x8 bulgarian split squat 3x8 front squat 3x8 oblique side bends I'm pretty much toast after that.

    Had a trip last week where I was in the frozen tundra of Michigan for several days and only able to eat off the land and not lift. I came back, got a couple days of workouts in and then got sick. I think I'll be able to lift tomorrow, but I feel like I've completely fell off the workout wagon.

    Mass Effect: Andromeda - Autism reaches outer space

    With exception to Casey Hudson, listening to a lot of these guys reminds me of bad interviews with dudes who clearly road the coattails of everyone around them. In this case they rode Drew Karpyshyn's coattails.

    Assassin's Creed Origins set in Egypt

    Finding it tough to play this game for more than half an hour at a time, not totally sure why. I think I'm not invested in the story, and somehow the only site I want to see is the pyramids. The game might've used more of an introduction, maybe I would be if I spent 3-5 hours completing...

    So with respect to my previous comment about getting muscular fatigue really easily (legs feel like jelly like 4 sets into my leg day workout) I've been naturally increasing the duration of my workouts so I'm figuratively taking naps between sets. I've started to fight against that by using a...

    Assassin's Creed Origins set in Egypt

    I picked up the game Sunday morning and this post exactly mirrors my thoughts on it. After Shadow of War I kind of like the new combat, since Shadow of War was so similar to previous AC games.

    Pretty remarkable progress for a guy on a vegan diet: 170 -> 185 lbs (3 months). Clean bulk on vegetarian diet. Pictures, diet and routine inside. • r/Fitness

    Star Citizen Online - The search for more money

    It's hard not to watch the above CitCon video and feel hopeful about the game, just to see what a 200-300 million USD scifi game looks like. And it's hard not to feel depressed after reading posts like yours, knowing that in a few years when revenue drops and RSI goes bankrupt all we'll get is a...

    EQ has such a small and old playerbase I already feel like a Daybreak insider. Being able to just openly post to the EQ beta forums and be pretty sure it'll get read by Dzarn, Aristo, Ngreth or Absor is something you'd only get on an early pre-kickstart alpha, lol.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    So I'm at level 8 of the shadow wars. I'm slicing through them pretty well, I have a very versatile build I'm running (2pc marauder, 2pc warmonger, 2pc vendetta) that enables me to roll over enemies, and all my regions are kitted out in pretty tough opponents. But I think I'm done with the...

    So if AC3 was all about building a settlement and listening to native americans whine, and AC4 was about ship combat and listening to sea chanties, what is AC:Origins about?

    The JFK Files Discussion Thread

    So what'd we learn so far in the JFK files? 1. LBJ was in the KKK. 2. More evidence of two shooters. 3. More evidence of Cruz' father involved. 4. That the KGB thinks LBJ did it. I will believe anything that looks old and like it was originally made with a copywriter, put into a computer...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    Yeah I agree. And I think games that are outliers and earn the community's ire and focus still push the Overton window of acceptable MTX in games. SoW is a funny case because the MTX in the game are pretty tame, it was just the handling of it that was bad and offensive. The Forthog dead dev...

    Yeah a lot of the programs I see have 5 rep sets on DL. I might slowly decrease the # of reps I do as I increase the weight.

    Could be. I do my pullups after my deadlifts each time. I have a theory that my lats aren't activating properly. My attempt to get them to fire is to finish my pull-day with wide-grip pullups where I do a few and then do negatives. By that point I'm thoroughly exhausted, especially my biceps...

    I'm taking it easy, but n00b gains are 4 real. This is all noob talk, but I feel like I was pushing myself an appropriate amount when I was doing 60lbs 3x5 on Sept 19th (when I got my dumbbells), but last night I did 100lbs 3x10. And now when I lift a 60lbs dumbbell it feels so light. The one...

    Sooooo.... I'm pretty sure @Ossoi was right about my 3kcal diet being too high. I've been tracking my caloric intake, calculated 1rep max ( Calculate Your One-Rep Max (1RM) ) lifts on the big three (bench, deadlift, squat) and my weight (every morning). The result is that I've gained some 3lbs...

    I agree. I wish the game was set up such that if there's no orcs high enough on your "nemesis scale", Sauron would start sending brutal orcs after you that would increase in power until they started kicking your ass.

    Some amazing legendary mob showed up to fight in a conquest. Tough son of a bitch with curses, fiery weapons and incredible regenetive capabilities. I considered replacing Az-Laar with him and put Az-Laar to the test. Az-Laar actually went berserk and accidentally killed one of my low-level...

    I didn't notice any true input lag in either SoM or SoW for PC, but thanks to consolitis there's quite a few control issues since they have to map so many actions to so few buttons. Tallion will do a lot of things you don't want him to do, including: running up a wall instead of vaulting over...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    Just in case there's any confusion, you get significant amounts of legendary gear ingame as well. At a guess I've gotten ~30 pieces so far, and I've just started Act IV and haven't tried farming legendary gear (or anything else) in any capacity.

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    No, lol. Though there is more reason to buy loot crates (vs orc crates), because at least the legendary gear you get could possibly change the gameplay a lot, and legendary gear doesn't betray you (though the big orcs can break your legendary sword, which creates a mission for you to go try to...

    Middle-earth: Shadow of War (Shadow of Mordor Sequel)

    Nah. Pretty much everyone playing it says the same thing: Act4 doesn't frustrate anyone into buying orcs, and the whole loot crate debacle is overblown reactionary nonsense by well-intentioned fools.
