    I’d agree with this, mostly. But with time and a lot of effort, you can naturally get stronger and be lean. Just takes years where as gear gets you there in months and introduces tons of health problems.

    You’re correct, the cardiovascular system does have to work harder. I don’t plan to do this past 60 and I’ve never taken gear (never will) so I’m trying to be clean about it. I don’t compete, I just do this for me and for my wife. I could cut to 215, but I would be hangry a lot. Every body is...

    No, I do body building and power lifting as a hobby. Last scan was 16.4% body fat.

    BMI is all nonsense anyway. I’m 6’0” and 230 but lean. According to the govt I’m obese!

    That height/weight isn’t bad, honestly. Slight diet changes and walking more will drop stomach fat. You’re doing just fine.

    What vehicle do you drive?

    No, doing your own thing on private land like that is just a matter of money and bringing the materials in, unless you are in certain zip codes or municipalities, as mentioned. If you open it up to membership or then public use, that’s when it’s likely to get dicey with laws and codes and red tape.

    Nah, that’s makes sense. Been wearing some Pilotis the last few times. Now I know at least, but it’s a hassle.

    My shoes setting off the metal detector (according to the snarky TSA agents) multiple trips in a row, requiring me to take them off. Only metal on them is the eyelets for the laces…

    They are fantastic, no doubt. Lots of great trim levels to choose from between the two models.

    You guys must not be in high-end corporate that requires certain rules be followed when corresponding with C-Suite. Do that shit or else, basically.

    I’m toying with the idea of a build now after this whole discussion and the advice given. I end up with better hardware and a 30% cost savings. Hard to ignore that.

    Don't know if NewEgg is shitting the bed or if my build is now fucked, but I changed several things around (as seen below) but whenever I try to re-look at MOBOs, I get an error saying there aren't any that match my selections, despite everything being the same brand (except the cooling system)...

    Based on the advice here and using some of the pre-mades as a starting guide, this is something I came up with for a mid tier but upgradable computer. Definitely open to ideas and revisions if I'm missing the mark on certain pieces (for instance, RAM selection/quality). CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X...

    Looked up all the parts from the Maingear pre-made ( and I swapped some they allowed, like the cpu and power). $2500 ordered separately and built at home or $3200 ordered ready to go. Big delta.

    This is fantastic information, thank you. I'll dig deeper into these topics this weekend and look up all of my options for longevity, then make the call. I think I'm leaning towards future-proofing options rather than a brick wall today. Even at a $400-$500 gap it would be worth the better...

    I appreciate this insight. I'll admit I don't know all the terms you mentioned, nor all the impacts that might have on what I'm doing, or how I'll upgrade the machine over time. But, I think context on my end might be helpful as well. I'm not going to be using this new computer - or expecting it...
