Do you mean making it look like you peed? I haven’t noticed this in myself, probably because I’m so obsessed with the awkward boob-shaped sweat I get. Like, the breasts themselves either don’t sweat or have more wicking material, so each breast is encircled in visible sweat. We went hiking on a hot day a couple of weeks ago and I made the mistake of wearing a gray t-shirt. We went for pizza afterwards. It was harsh.

Negative, but I do laugh heartily when I stand up from something I was sitting on and there’s a wet impression left behind. Then I have to go find something to clean it up as to not be a dingus. Another benefit of the home gym though, I can let it air dry if I choose.

Typically if I’m with anyone when this happens it’s my husband, and we laugh, too. I like using the term “butt sweat.” “Here, let me wipe my butt sweat off so you can sit down.”
Good times, lol.

Sounds interesting. It’s more or less spring down here, but the weather is already creeping up into the 90s. I can just be running errands for like an hour and there’s sweat already going everywhere. I can be wearing Jeans, sweat pants, basketball shorts, etc. Just sweat right through them.
So I’ll give those a look. Material sounds interesting too.
Yeah pretty much that.
I used to sweat mostly in my armpits and my face, but lately it’s just been from the waist down.
Anything grey or like faded blue is a no go lol.

It’s funny when I’m by myself. It gets awkward when I go to the gym during peak hours. I guess it’s not a big deal since sweating is normal.
I wear golf pants during the summer to help avoid the sweating ass problem. Although, I haven’t yet found a shirt that isn’t soaking went by the end of the day. Nothing worse than going to bathroom after sitting in a meeting for an hour and seeing pit stains down to your hips and a soaking back in the mirror.

I made pasta from scratch, and maybe it’s just the machine but it’s been in boiling water for 20+ minutes and is still not cooked…

? Fresh pasta is supposed to take LESS time than hard pasta. Something is wrong.

Wheat. You are supposed to make it from wheat.

Confession: I’m excited about something for the first time in a long time.
Just finished my first clinical rotation as a physical therapist assistant. Day 1 was only observation but by day 4 I did 2 full treatments in a row including documentaion, billing, manual therapy techniques, and creating home exercise programs. They put me to work pretty fast.
I really enjoyed the environment there. All of the therapists were great and most of the patients were really laid back and funny. I’d consider moving to the area just because the environment was so nice.
I’ve been in and out of school for a while, got a bachelor degree back in 2016. Started going back in Aug 2018, will be done this December. It’s nice to see a career I’ll enjoy in the near future.

Sigh… I think I’m going to sign up for a Planet Fitness.
It gets brutally hot in my garage this time of year (115-120+) and with the hours my wife and I keep with the kids it isn’t possibly to shower after working out these days… so I think I’m going to pay the $15/month to work out in the AC and get a shower in for the next few months. It’s the only 24 hour gym that doesn’t involve a 30 minute drive
I’ll be working out at like 11pm so hopefully no one lunk alarms me (not that I scream or shout or anything, but I’m sure I let out a grunt or two), as the people there at that time should hopefully be pretty serious right?

I just wrote about this in another thread. Planet fitness as an organization is shitty, and generally attracts a certain type of clientele, but they have enough equipment to get the job done.
Pull-up/dip stations, cable stations, DB’s (only up to 60 but you can still do work with those), smith machines, leg extension/leg curl/leg press/chest press/bicep curl/tri ext/lateral raise machines. If you can’t get a workout with all that, it’s you that’s the problem. This is coming from someone who lives across the street from a Planet Fitness and pays over 3x their monthly dues to drive a couple miles down the road and work out in a gym with lots of loud grunts and clanging metal. I don’t like PF, but if I only had that, I’d be fine.

Do they have any barbells or only dumbbells?
They have technique bars for curls and skulls and the like, but you really can do a lot with a smith machine, dumbbells, and a machine for any body part.
Confession - I have Planet Fitness black membership - $240 per year.
Confession - I have an iron head gym membership - $360 per year.
Confession - I am considering an LA Fitness membership - $360 per year.
Confession - my gym membership addiction might be the cheapest of all of my addictions.

This quote from @Paul_Carter should be a header on all training sites and a sign in gyms everywhere:
“How do I know if I’m a beginner to intermediate?” Because you just asked that question. That’s how you know.

I teach in a high rent hood, Jewish kids mostly, a few Italians, etc. We suck at football, and pretty much every sport.
My friend is the volleyball coach, was, they’re firing her for calling a kid chapstick because of a hickey.
Anyway, their weight training program is WOD.
How pathetic is that?
Two years ago one of my kids went D1 for Lacrosse. I asked him about his training for college lacrosse - trust me, it wasn’t WOD. There was a lot of conditioning (plyometrics) and Olympic lifts, and stretching.
My dad sent me an article yesterday about the S&C coach at University of Illinois, Hernandez, who said, “I love yoga.”
My friend, female, squats and does deadlifts (pushups for curses, so about forty five a day). Her volleyball teams won like ten county championships.
Our football team does WOD. They have won two games in the last five years
You can’t fix stoopid.
