159I like cycling, powerlifting, bad video games and metal.
Otherwise, I occupy my time with various bits in RISC-V land.

@ljs When I started working out I was a fat shit with zero muscle (3 years of sitting at a computer after quitting sport), I tried lots of different stuff. Compounds were what kept me coming back, and I stuck to it. If that's machines and hypertrophy for you, more power to ya :)

@sven @ljs Yah, I didn't think you were saying it was easy. My point was more that that day was awful, even though the volume wasn't the highest and there was nothing else in it. For context, my 1rm at that time was 130 kg, so those triples were at like 85% of my max. Still better than high volume squats though, since not nearly as taxing on your body.

@ljs I like number going up, which is the whole point of powerlifting training I guess.. I only ran that sort of extreme program to try something radically different because my bench plateaued at like 100x2 for a few months with what I had been doing. It was only done for like 3 months, into a few week break, into 3 months again. Rest of the program was indicative though of what I ran pre covid.

@sven @ljs If there's one thing I have, it's legs.. Never really did volume stuff, just pushed the weight but I feel like I'm genetically predisposed cos my lil brother didn't get my parent's chicken legs either. Calves I feel like you gotta cycle for or something, calf raises always look like such a cope exercise to me.

@ljs this is what I was doing that I considered unsustainable, but my bench flew up doing it. Really benching 3x a week is probably enough volume for me, but I can't even get 3x a week of it in with my current schedule. Never really done much by way of isolation stuff, pretty much don't use "machines". Well, other than the pulldown/row combi thing and back extensions. Never really liked them compared to compounds or db stuff.

@ljs Usually there's something I am actually not understanding or some unexplained reason for doing things as they are (so poor commit message) that everyone less knows or w/e. This time, I think the change just is wrong. Project maintainer is good and (usually) responsive, so I'm sure it'll be explained to me if actually don't get it.

Sometimes I come across a change that's been accepted and sit there for ages scratching my head wondering if I am completely missing something, because the patch makes absolutely no sense to me and I cannot figure out why multiple people think it is fine.

Get up early, go to the gym, nice sunny day ahead of me - sit indoors depleting keys in wow all day instead :)

@monsieuricon Meant to reply to your mail but forgot - I had trouble with someone else's anubis protected page not loading but the kernel ones work fine :)

@monsieuricon <something>.kernel.org, but I don't think a play on cgit is better than something KISS.

See garbage in someone's patch, go digging to find out who is to blame before yelling, only to figure out it was you.
