I'm going to max out my barbell soon, I'll be deadlifting 170 lbs next week and I think the max weight is only 180 cuz it's not an olympic barbell. Don't think I have room in my apt for a larger barbell, though. I know 170 lbs isn't very much but I didn't think I would even get here cuz of my recurring back problems. I thought for awhile I would have to give up deadlifts because they kept making my back sore, and even threw it out once, and that was only like 100 pounds. And that made me really sad, cuz due to space constraints deadlifts are the only "big" lift I can do, unless I got a gym membership. But I think my form has gotten better. I feel there's more room for improvement, though. Also, I've been doing FULL range of motion pullups rather than like 80% range that I normally do, and boy does that last 20% down to a straight arm hang focus on the lats. Which is what I'm aiming for... I've got pretty decent shoulder and arm development but would like more of that V shape.

It looks terrible on Android too. At least it's a mobile site, but hopefully a change from the stock design is imminent.

I wish I could just say screw it and put out quiet mixes with minimal limiting, but I always worry people will listen and immediately turn it off. Which is the whole paranoia behind the loudness war.

Experience most likely.

Wow, Zircon, you put on that weight fast. 20 pounds?

This is bullshit. Narrowing down to 3 shitty categories that suck.

You could just ask someone for their project file for a particular track, they might oblige. But yea, the real problem is not having the same plugins or DAW.

Ok. I've gotten kinda lazy with that.

Ok. I'm getting back into deadlifts and pullups after getting bored with my current routine. I'm definitely down with the weighted pullups. It's putting the focus on the lats that's always tricky for me.

What did you do to bulk up your lats? I can do pull ups and stuff pretty good but my lats seem timid and hesitant to grow.

wow, great job man. Looks like you've cut a lot. I would like to tend to this belly fat but I just can't be arsed to watch my diet that much. I'm too weak willed.

I hate you so much

I pay projects to write music for them.

The stomach fat pouch. I hate it. Granted I've been indulging in fattening foods like chorizo lately. It doesn't help that it is so delicious. I'm ok with my current body weight (5'9, 161 lbs), though I could definitely lose some of it. But that stomach fat... even when I was 10 lbs lighter I still had it. Very annoying.

Most are NFR

I'll be buying it. If only I could get the money back for my plugins that Omnisphere put out of commission. lol

If all else fails, straight up clipping will help ya out.

I've been taking a break from weights and rings and stuff, and working on yoga and simple bodyweight exercises lately. It's kinda fun totally switching up a routine and trying something completely new.

I'm going to Disney world end of February, so I have that to look forward to. cold I can deal with, snow I can deal with, it's the constant grey days that get me down.

Work on freestanding handstand and get that down. Travel at least 2 places. Lose some extra weight I've put on from bad eating, shouldn't be very hard with my metabolism. Won't make any music resolutions cuz I don't really have time for it anymore....

edit: wrong thread

I'm becoming more and more convinced I need a stretching routine, a lot more than strength training. I wake up in the morning and I'm all stiff and stuff. And my joints. Bleh. I may dial back the strength work to focus on stretching and flexibility.

I dunno where else you advertised it, but your only explanation here was a terse post in the Kickstarter thread that people are prolly kinda burned out on, and some a couple of threads in the Workshop that aren't known for a lot of comments. Like Brandon said, if you don't have a following you can't really expect people to show up out of nowhere to back you.
