re: How much do you tip when purchasing coffee in a drive thru?

Posted by WaydownSouth on 4/17/26 at 12:58 pm to JackieSonnier

$0.

I order a black coffee with 1-2 pumps of a sugar free syrup. That does not deserve a tip

No. I'm anti prescriptions and have asked my PCP for a low dose statin

re: How often do you retest your max lifts?

Posted by WaydownSouth on 4/14/26 at 7:43 pm to MarkInTable

I don't.

Just do progressive overload. Try to go up 5 pounds or so every week or do 1-2 more reps of the same weight.

Maxing out just increases injury risk without much benefit unless you are a powerlifter

Costco every 2 weeks and maybe a small run to Kroger or Trader Joes in between if we need anything before the next trip

I believe it.

Watched my grandfather take his last breath.

We were all standing around his hospital bed watching, saying our goodbyes. He kept fighting it. It seemed like 30 minutes or so rattling off breaths.

The hospice nurse suggested we leave the room. As soon as we turned our back and left, he stopped and passed. Almost like he knew we were standing there watching

Maybe it was just the cheese one. I'll try a different next time I go. But there is no way they cooked it like that for Portnoy. It had so much grease it flopped immediately.

I usually waste my weekly cheat meal on pizza and I was not impressed

re: How are people able to just up and move states like it’s nothing and why

Posted by WaydownSouth on 4/9/26 at 11:36 am to Galloglaich

Got doctorate out of state. Realized how bad Louisiana sucks. Moved back to within 2 hours of family in Louisiana. Had children. Family would come visit 1-2 times a year. Both parents still work and have at best 7 years until retirement.

Realized there is no point to stay close since we'd see them about the same as is and they are no help with our kids.

Got better job offer further away and did not think twice about moving

re: What statin are you on?

Posted by WaydownSouth on 4/8/26 at 8:33 am to dallastiger55

I actually asked my PCP for a low dose statin since high cholesterol runs in the family. Just wanted for more of a preventive. She didn't want unless my lipids became out of whack. TC was good, but my LDL was slightly elevated.

Started taking a half dose of red yeast rice. Lipids have never been better

re: What are your ties to LSU? Any legacy stories?

Posted by WaydownSouth on 4/6/26 at 10:37 pm to Powerman

Lots of family went to LSU. Grew up going to Skip Bertman baseball camp and John Brady basketball camp.

Did not attend LSU because it was basically free to go anywhere else in the state. Did not want to have to take out loans for undergrad because I was planning on doing something that requires an advanced degree

re: There is zero reason to ever eat unhealthy food - not even for a snack

Posted by WaydownSouth on 4/6/26 at 10:33 pm to Harry Rex Vonner

Too many people view food as something pleasurable instead of its main purpose. To fuel your body.

Do I enjoy a pizza or a burger every once in a while? Sure.

But there is not a single instance that I can think of where I would regret not eating bad food. Which is the main reason I hate eating out. I will be out $200 and a day later, it will have had no impact on my life if I didn't go out to eat or not

re: Strength Imbalance Between Left and Right Leg

Posted by WaydownSouth on 4/4/26 at 12:31 pm to Yung_Humma

I have a similar issues. Except the opposite left leg is stronger than my right.

I do alternating single leg leg extensions, single leg, leg press and single leg hip press

ETA: It also prevents me from having to load 6+ plates on each side of the machine for 2 leg work.
