Yep it is active, it’s the nicest place I’m in, I highly recommend the matrix server^^

What do you mean by ‘generalized experience’? There’s federation and you can subscribe to whatever

Check out the GZD matrix instance it’s cozy and nice: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/1294067

and the mastodon/akkoma/pleroma instance also run by our fellow comrades: https://lemmygrad.ml/post/3850925

On what Mastodon instance are you registered?

Doesn’t seem like Tencent has that much ownership of it unless I’m missing something

Reading “Sexed Up” by Julia Serano. I’m halfway through it and it’s a great read about sexualization and trans struggles.

Okay, thank you for your detailed writeup, much appreciated, I’m making notes from all the comments lol

I did overall good progress though, I have way more visible muscle and bulked around 13kg. I’m not following any social media persons, I started working out using Critical’s prolewiki guide. I’m not yet doing squats and deadlifts because I want to go through some checkups first and I have flat feet. I know and apply the rest of the tips you’ve mentioned.

Yep I figured, thanks. At the moment I’m just increasing weight on my current exercises, seem to be doing okay

I have to research reps in reserve and dropsets myoreps etc I haven’t heard of them.

I meant the amount of reps in a set (english terminology is really confusing) like 3x8 or something like that which I saw you didn’t mention

Thanks again

Currently watching TheFinishBolshevik’s Marxist Economy series, seems great so far I’m a couple episodes in

Yeah I do that in around 1h30m. I started around June 2023. My new gym doesnt mark the weights which is annoying, it just marks them like level 1-13, I assume one weight is 5kg. I’m unsure about my body fat ratio, how can I calculate it?

For months I had to do use the assisted benvh simulators to get to a basic muscle level; when I started I was way too skinny, now I’m in the normal muscle range I think.

I was under the impression that I’m doing way less than before XD It takes me around 1h30m to complete it.

The “middle chest” is a device called that, my new gym doesnt have it though; was something like simulating a bench press but with weights and not an individual barbell.

I see you don’t count the exercises in the set themselves, just work to failure, which is interesting, I usually did this for my last set only.

I know about the illiac lat pulldown but I’m not really using that zone of the gym too much to be honest. Thanks for the tips, I’ll check them out!!

Esperanto was also popular in the beginning of the USSR iirc also Stalin studied it in prison

I’d want to learn Spanish at the moment, I already know a romance language so irs easy, but still a lack of motivation at the moment
