Complex

@tris_does_stuff @metabolic_print Yeah I don’t have hours to spend in the gym every other day so 6-10 sets per muscle group per week has been enough for me to get in and out in an hour or less. Gains have been fine. Plus doing compound lifts instead of isolation will give more volume overall.

Fair enough, I misread then. 2 sets per exercise is reasonable as a low end. 25 sets isn't necessarily junk volume, there is strong research showing that adding volume tends to increase hypertrophy even to a ridiculous number of sets per week. But you're right that most of the gains come from far fewer sets, maybe 5-10 per week. I think I'm tired of the "low volume high intensity" crowd claiming it's superior for hypertrophy, just because Mike Mentzer or whoever their latest hero is trained like that. It's reasonable if you're not bothered about being as big as possible, and want time efficiency however.

I thought the 2 sets to failure thing was just a meme but honestly i'm never going back

@trq212 How do I dislike a post

To manage growing demand for Claude we're adjusting our 5 hour session limits for free/Pro/Max subs during peak hours. Your weekly limits remain unchanged. During weekdays between 5am–11am PT / 1pm–7pm GMT, you'll move through your 5-hour session limits faster than before.

@tris_does_stuff @metabolic_print I don’t think he’s suggesting 2 sets per muscle group per week. Just per exercise. Nobody needs 15-25 sets per muscle group per week. That’s ridiculous junk volume. The extra gains are so minimal with that much volume and possibly detrimental to recovery.

And that's because doing 2 sets to failure is easy, but it feels like you're working hard because failure. What's actually hard is doing 15-25 weekly sets per muscle group with 1-2 RIR. Which coincidentally builds far more muscle than the 2 sets or 4 or 6 sets per week that you're doing.

@30SecondYou @ATabarrok Cleanings every 3 months wtf

After 11 years of an amazing family owned dental practice that was 5 mins from my place, cleanings every 3 months, no cavities, take very good care of my teeth, the practice was sold during COVID to a PE firm and all the dentists were swapped out with the most slimy fucks ever. Was asked to find another dentist after I refused an x ray (temporarily I told them would do so next visit) they flipped out, forced me to “talk to the dentist” who refused to look me in the eyes kept giving me excuses with why I was forced to do the x ray right now, it was genuinely bizarre. Still on the hunt for a new spot

Went to the dentist for a cleaning. Refused the blood pressure check, refused redundant x-rays, refused to sign a waiver for refusing the x-rays. Three nos to get one teeth cleaning. I am now known as a troublemaker.

@noahzweben FINALLY, thank you.

You can now schedule recurring cloud-based tasks on Claude Code. Set a repo (or repos), a schedule, and a prompt. Claude runs it via cloud infra on your schedule, so you don’t need to keep Claude Code running on your local machine.

@bryanlieske @FenixFella @CCW4COs Lay off the crayons

Not that anyone cares about your opinion of Trump, since you obviously voted for Kamala, the most unelectable candidate to ever run for President. But the last two decades of incompetent foreign policy and leadership are what caused this terrorist nightmare in Iran. Trump is the only one who's had the balls to clean up the mess.

@feioustudio @amorriscode I send all knowledge work to Code. Why should I have to remember to switch tabs to Cowork for that? What benefit would Cowork give me that Code can’t already do?

@amorriscode the "Cowork → knowledge work / Code → building" distinction is the clearest I've seen it articulated. most people conflate them and then wonder why their AI assistant can't follow a complex codebase. they're different tools for different cognitive modes.

if you like claude code desktop today, you're going to be pretty happy in the next few weeks. things are starting to feel really good. thanks for your patience while we iterate on this one. happy sunday. 🫡

@amorriscode @chrisbalt This isn’t obvious at all. I just send everything to Code and it seems to work fine. Cowork seems to be redundant unless it can do things that Code can’t? I even use Code for general chatting. Why even separate the three tbh?

@chrisbalt Cowork -> knowledge work tasks Code -> building

@ConradEduard @Romy_Holland It’s not a skill issue, it’s an affordability issue. Ask me how I know…daycare and mortgage leave nothing left at the end of the month. Stuff was a LOT more affordable when my parents had me relative to their take home pay.

I agree. But it's more important to make sure kids are able prepared to care of themselves. 1) make sure they are educated and trained for a skill. 2) make sure they learn how to work hard. 3) make sure they understand early on at what point they are expected to be able to financially take care of themselves.

i don’t feel like my parents owe me any inheritance and would be happy for them if they had fun spending all of their retirement savings. but i also feel really good about the prospect of leaving my own children money that would make their lives easier, and thru this lens the boomer behavior of taking cruises while your kids are struggling to afford daycare and houses and stuff seems strange. like maybe when my baby is grown up i’ll feel differently, but i doubt it? i find myself wanting to promise him that as long as i live i want to help him and be there for him.

@ConradEduard @Romy_Holland Parents should financially take care of their kids until their kids can financially take care of their parents. It’s something Asian cultures do incredibly well that western cultures can’t seem to grasp.

That's all sounds fine and dandy. But I, as a 62 year old, look at it this way. First of all, I spent a small fortune educating my kids, it was always my first priority. 2nd, I should have enough to make it through retirement, but it's not quite assured. 3rd, sooner or later a kid will have a real crisis and will truly need help. I'd like to keep my powder dry. 4th, nothing wrong with doing a bit of traveling.

@BasedBiohacker Sincerely interested in your thoughts on aspartame and acesulfame potassium

give me a cold coke zero in a glass bottle and a 150 mg sublingual armodafinil and i might fuck around and solve world hunger before sunrise

@bodybuildingwk @tuCpakoa The fact that nerve related back pain isn’t very top of this list immediately tells me it’s a bullshit list.

@tuCpakoa Where is sciatica? Worst pain I have ever felt.

L'université de McGill, au Canada, a établi une échelle des douleurs les plus intenses chez l'être humain, de la plus tolérable (10) à la plus insupportable (01): 10. Névralgie du trijumeau 09. Migraine 08. Colique néphrétique 07. Fibromyalgie 06. Polyarthrite rhumatoïde ⬇️

@AppartDesign Are the photos AI or something? What’s going on with the second photo with the chairs and the flower pots?

@YawnyLion @banteg Same on the L5/S1 from rowing but never got the surgery. How’s your back now?

@banteg I rowed on college club team with guy who went from never been in a shell to holding 2k m erg world record in a few years. We worked these hard. I blew out L5/S1 disc during a time trial after 9mo of form coaching then had a bad back surgery. Be careful: legs, timing, form

bought this thing, send your advice

@EthanCopple @2112Power It’s a decent idea if you don’t have an orangutan president threatening tariffs via tweet during his morning dumps.

@2112Power It's a decent idea if you don't have 7,000 mile fragile supply chains based in an adversarial country. The implementation didn't evolve past the post-war, 1960's world.

Just in time supply chain was a dumbass idea.

@Wellseee_ @penguin_curator It has nothing to do with technical analysis or levels. The orange monkey can’t keep his mouth shut about tariffs.

@penguin_curator That 109k rejection was brutal. Classic liquidity grab above 110k before the dump. These fake breakouts are getting more violent - might be a sign we're closer to a real move than people think.

Just about fucking had it at this point

@Rociiopavon @BRICSinfo Nice original content

@BRICSinfo Get ready to pay double for groceries, your iPhone, and car repairs. 130% tariffs are an economic nuclear bomb. The market just crashed 878 points on the news. But sure, let's all pretend this is fine.
