daaaaaamn!!! looks massive. awesome.

how long will that ant last in "captivity"? i imagine you treat them "well", from the vids etc. wonder how long they live.


She is quite big, but not as big as the largest species.
Also very good eyesight she can track me from a metre away.
This one can do a small jump, and a nasty sting....



They can live for a long time, depending on species and how much rest they get over winter if you don't heat them up, so they stop laying eggs over winter.
You can have bad luck where they die after a year, but if they survive they can live from 10-20+ years

that's crazy. had no idea. very cool.

Decided on a whim to give planche stuff a go. I can do a legit tuck planche now! Have never really managed it for more than a couple of seconds before, so this is exciting. Will alternate dips and planche for push work now.

that's cool hah. you know you're just getting overall stronger when you can do stuff you previously couldn't, out of the blue. that's probably the best form of "gainz".

not sure if i've been mentioning my grill saga.. but the $500 grill i got for $138 turned out to be a "nightmare", because it didn't exist.

so after 1.5 weeks of trying to sort it out, homedepot online priced matched a $1,049 grill to $500, because it was a legitimate "system error" which resulted in me not being able to get that same grill, "ever".

massive upgrade.

Genesis II S-335, coming soon:

i wonder if there's anything like that for flexibility/stretching. ie, "you stupid inflexible pig, all you have to do is.."

daily mobility work, tissue/release work and stretching for 40 secs to a min has worked for me

The high frequency is needed

There is a guy called Got Rom, check out his YT channel, lots of good stuff.
I fixed my right outer hip issues from a few years back with his info

nice thnx

once he starts demonstrating his flexibility in his intro vid, i get "jealous". will check out some of his other vids.

i've made some pretty crazy flexibility gains lately - but not enough. especially in my hamstrings/adductors, which have been problem areas for years.

my main goal right now (other than getting crazy lean), is to get very flexible - which i've never been.

today i've been stretching my right hamstring/adductor every time i go into the kitchen (by propping it up on the kitchen countertop and doing a relaxed/long hold). the right side is much more jacked up than my left, it has to be a major problem.

i'd like to get to full split level and stuff like that. other than maybe when i was 8 years old or younger, i've been very inflexible in my hamstrings/adductors/glutes. around that age i just tightened up, and that was it. been "stiff" ever since.

right ankle, heal a little sore


51 min easy to moderate walk to park and bush trail
Dry fasted today. The walk should cause more dehydration for more fat loss :)

And I caught a Myrmecia nigrocinta bull ant queen at the bush trail  :highfive:
She's 2cm long, with good eyesight. She can see me a metre away



daaaaaamn!!! looks massive. awesome.

how long will that ant last in "captivity"? i imagine you treat them "well", from the vids etc. wonder how long they live.



one lindt ball lol.

that's some willpower. if i eat one lindt ball i'm eating the box :<

yeah, but when I see 150 calories per ball, I go oh shit!  :uhcomeon:

same. each ball is magically dense.
