He was an old pensioner in New Zealand and spent his days modifying and old Indian scout motorcycle. He melted down scrap and casted his own parts. There was no place in New Zealand flat enough and long enough for him to really see how fast his bike would go. He got a lot of support from the locals to raise money and was able to make the journey to the United States to go to Death Valley, where he and his old motorcycle were underestimated by all. But he crushed the land speed records (in his category) which may still be unbroken today. He was infectiously likeable and a really unexpected god of speed, the ultimate underdog
Oh they made a movie about him called The world's fastest Indian it's absolutely worth a watch if you haven't seen it

She was a punk rock girl all tatted up. She felt quite bad about dropping the deuce
My ex was day drunk and wearing lingerie and power sharted right on my kitchen floor
Lunch debt? The fuck outta here with that dystopian nightmare shit
My friends and I started getting into bad movies in high school, Troll 2 and Street Trash were some of the more memorable ones
It varies from person to person and how you have been training, but generally it's around two years I believe. But in training terms it means that you can recover faster and pack on a lot more muscle than someone who is more advanced. In my first year I gained about 20lbs, second year 10lbs and third year 5lbs. I would consider myself moving into intermediate level now
The volume seems pretty good considering that you have those compound movements in there which count for a bit more than isolation exercises.
The variation is probably optional, you're still in the beginner stages you'll pack on muscle just brushing up against the weights. Since one of your goals is improving pull-ups I think you may be better served doing pullups more often. Maybe swap out dumbbell hammer curls on pull day 2 for more pullups?
You're describing lateral raises, and because the lever (your arm from shoulder to hand) is so long, you are more mechanically disadvantaged vs when you are doing curls. So it's normal that you can'f lift as much.
Different exercises can have different training frequencies. You can train arms 3 times per week, but deadlifts for example, work huge muscles and are much more exhausting, so once per week is typically enough for those.
Rep ranges for hypertrophy are typically anywhere between 8 and 30 (or more). So stick with 15lbs for the lateral raises and increase your number of reps over time. Once you hit 20 for example, then try increasing the weight and dropping the reps back down to 8, and work your way back up, repeat
The fitness wiki is a great resource, read up a bit and hop on one of the routines recommended there. It will answer a ton of your questions and also give you incredible results compared to just winging it
A long time ago Putin filmed Trump doing some naughty things and now the USA has a Nazi regime
They'll just wheel him around like they did with Alzheimer's Reagan in the 80s. Anything to keep up doing the most evil shit they can think of without repercussions
A DIY one made from cardboard
Wow, I'm not surprised to see this. Back in the day Anne of Green Gables was syndicated in Japan and really popular. So much so that in PEI there were signs in Japanese for the tourist at Green Gables. I'm gonna watch the original and then the anime
That's the kind of place this is, lots of sexy people, not doing much work, and posting memes

Weightroom - A community for strength and hypertrophy training
I thought some folks here in fitness@lemmy.world might also be interested in a more strength and hypertrophy training oriented community, with a focus on weekly training logs, program discussions, questions and lifting techniques.
After humming and hawing about it ever since the Reddit API migration, I decided that if I wanted to see it on Lemmy I really should make it so.
One of the things that I missed the most from Reddit was the strength training subs, as they were great motivation to stay consistent, and the occasional program parties were a lot of fun. A bunch of folks trying to get through super squats and drinking a gallon of whole milk per day made for some pretty interesting workout reports.
I have not traditionally been a community builder in the past, but I believe there is big a gap in the Fediverse where strength and hypertrophy training should be.
