My fam always preferred from scratch, but because my cooking skills sucked up until the last couple years and just recently for pancakes, I prefer the complete mix. Aunt Jemima buttermilk mostly, sometimes that crappy Betty Crocker one when it's on sale. Do not like Bisquick. I haven't tried Hungry Jack of Krusteaz.

Personally the brand name Krusteaz reminds me of dried semen so I tend to avoid looking at the bags... Anyway, I usually add a teaspoon of white vinegar which reacts with the baking soda inside leading to fluffier pancakes. I usually ad a tablespoon or two of sugar with the batter. The key with any pancake mix or from scratch is to leave the tiny chunks that are 4 mm or smaller alone and not blended them in. They'll cook just fine, but your pancakes are super fluffy and soak up the butter and syrup.

TBH, these all in ones are very much the same recipes except hyper stabilized. You can make a very runny mixture and make faux crepes. You can make them thicker than the recipe calls for and they'll rice. Personally I want to make those giant German pancakes you slice up and serve with cream and jam. Klinschnitzewinsigheil something.

obv will move couch when in use. Gotta buy more weights too, just bought a couple plates so i could use it the first day. Also the photo makes the end of the barbell look closer to the wall than it is.

So essentially, you're going to build your own home gym?

>.> I mean, the rack is nice by my standards, but how much are you looking to charge?

EDIT: Also, I'd think twice about letting people into my apartment when I'm not home. Even if there are cameras.

lol that's why I asked, not sure about prices. Not trying to build a gym either, just nice to have an open squat rack when needed. I'd have to be home, can't get in without my key card and code. I was thinking just $1 or $2 a session. If someone wants to use it 2x a week, that's $8/month or $16/month for just a squat rack. Maybe offer a scoop of whey for $1. Students don't have tons of money to throw around anyways.

I'd love a home gym whenever I buy a house for myself, which I hope is within the next 2-3 years. I'd probably get a power rack, a multi bench unit and a set of dumbbells. Oh and an adaptive motion trainer, though that costs like 8 grand. x_X

[Domicron]

definitely wouldn't let other people in. camera, release waiver, whatever: nothing's going to help when someone drops a weight or hurts themselves. your apartment complex will say you're not allowed to run a business, you'll get sued, you won't have insurance, etc.

if you want to make a business of it, do it right, otherwise, enjoy your private workspace.

Feels. I always cut longer than I should. My last two cuts have pushed 9 months, with lots of wheel spinning. When it's time to stop, it's time.

Yeah I was motivated as hell at first. But after -20lbs... I'm sick of it.

It's like you're speaking for me lol.

Down 20lbs though, you're doing well. I'm so surprised as to JUST how much fat I had on me starting out lol. Thought I'd be at 12% BF by losing like 15lbs, ha. Down 19lbs as of today and still got more to go

[SOJA]

Owen Wilson should continue cutting.

9 months? holy chit. ive been cutting for 2 months and im done

[tara19]

1 month cutting down.
Will probably do another 2/3.
Could not bare to do 9

[tbarabash]

I bought a new saw today. A dewalt double bevel sliding compound mitre saw.

I wanna build my deck waaaaaah

Landscaping might get done next week, probably won't be able to build the deck before the usual winter blizzards roll in in october or so. At least I can probably do my basement this winter

I can already tell that's going to be me when I start cutting... which hopefully won't be until around Feb, Mar, or maybe Apr.

I'll probably try and cut pretty aggressively... just so I'm not cutting for 6+ months... keeping it realistic and not doing anything stupid though obviously.



On another note, I hit 200x5 (squat) the other day. Previous PR was 195x4, and 215x1. I finally feel like I'm ready for 2 plates...





lol at going for deadlift PR the next day... no chance.

wat?


Owen wilson looks like he's 115lbs.

so much...


just so much stuff in one thread.

[cumminslifter]

i think it was a pretty successful cut. took just shy of 2 months.
started at around 195-200, cut down to about 182. weight is always swaying like crazy
all lifts stayed the same and have actually been getting slightly stronger

[VmissileX]

Successful as fuk cut.


I need to check my BW this week to see how many lbs have been lost thusfar.

[ZMan45]

9 months? holy chit. ive been cutting for 2 months and im done

Probably maintaining or extremely slight deficit most of it. But the length still wears on you. Next time I'll be more aggressive, but waaaaaay shorter.

You looked fine before you cut. You could easily push 210-215 with a good frame and base.

Second pic has better lighting, but definitely looks like good progress for 2 months. Much more visible abs and shoulder striations as well
