Frustrated with Ally (CDs)

I have a CD ladder. Before each CD matures, I go online and request the interest to be disbursed to a checking account. For the past two months, Ally has not be honoring what I requested. And, the interest is just rolled over into the new CD and renews. I want the interest for other things.

This happened once in the beginning of the year and thought it was a hiccup. Customer service fixed it and the interest was then disbursed into my savings account after the 10-day window. However, for July and August, nope. One Email even asked what I needed MY money for to help determine whether they should honor my request (and, they didn't). For August, I even Emailed them a screenshot of what I inputted online - "they will research what happened."

Also, what's funny is that the Email also included renewal instructions for when my Jul and Aug CDs expire. I never inputted any instructions for those CDs. Unsat.

I have been a fan of Ally, but not anymore.

STKB 3 day a week programs

Good day. I am finishing up Double Kettlebell Precision - one of my favorites so far along with ABF and DFW. I would like to do more STKB's routines and 3 days a week is good for me since I travel for work.

First, what other programs from Joe Daniels is 3 days a week? I know I can do 4 day programs into 3 days and expand the program, but just wondering. I see that TGTFU is 3. Any others?

Next, anyone can recommend another program? Thinking about KBOMG 4. Recs? Thanks!

I don't think it's bed bugs

I travel for work... I checked into the hotel, took a nap, and woke up with these bites on my upper arm. I checked behind the mattress and under the bed and no signs of BBs. They really aren't really itchy (a sign of BB bites) except when i shower and wash the area. There is singular bump on my bicep and forearm (but I think those are pimples or ingrown hairs).

ABF Second Time Around

Sorry if this has been addressed, but went searched for ABF in this sub.

I finished ABF a few months back and did some other programming (currently on DFW). I want to go back to ABF.

Weeks 1 & 2 of ABF is what I consider "finding your weight." I know what weights I am going to use. I am going to skip Wks 1&2 and "add" 2 more weeks at the end. I will then gradually add reps vs ABFs recommended increase of Weeks 3-6 since I am going to go heavier than last time (using new 5RM from DFW).

Has anyone ever done this? Recommended? Pros and cons? Thanks.

Steinbrenner and Calzones

Steinbrenner bought the Yankees in 1973. The Calzone aired in 1996. Even though he lived primarily in FL, he must have been to NYC hundreds of times in those 23 years. So he never had, or even heard of, a calzone in those 23 years??? Or, maybe he never had an eggplant calzone... what a sheltered life!

DFW and new 5RM

I finally did it. New 5RM dbl press of 32kg's.

Not C&P - didn't try because I think it's supposed to be press and I didn't want anything else to make me fatigued.

No one else I know would prob care so (sorry) I need to brag here.

One thing I changed was that 28 was my previous 5RM. On Day 1, I would stick to 28s. Day 2 and 3 every 5th set, I would use 32s.

DFW variations

Per DFW, GN writes do to the C&Ps, put weight down, then do the squats. I don't usually put the weights down since I like the TUT. But, for auto-reg, I may towards the end of the work-out.

Thinking about putting weights down, as written/before Sqs, to do more cleans (and some more biceps work)

Anyway, has anyone ever completed it using chain or complex? For ex, for sets of 3, Cl, Cl, Cl, P, P, P, Sq, Sq, Sq or Cl-P-Sq, Cl-P-Sq, Cl-P-Sq.

Colored vests/pinnies

Been going to the games and wondering what are the different color vests for? To me, it doesn't make sense. Ream, Schnegg, Toklomati are wearing green (so it's not defenders).

Started KSK 1.0 today. GN states to start with a 7-8 RM Kettlebell (32kg)

However, Wk1, Day 1, the rep scheme is 1,2,3,4,5 in 20 min and I only got 4rds. Seems not that much - I was wondering if I should drop down since 1.0 is for "maximum effort, moved quickly..." The snatches were explosive, but breaks got longer.

So, I am debating dropping down to 28kg on days with 5 reps and on lower rep days, use 32.

Thanks
