I'll be real, while money used to be the biggest factor for me, now it's convenience.

As a kid I was obviously broke and torrented a lot. There was a period in between then and now where I stopped and was paying for a bunch of different streaming services.

I properly started torrenting again last year and the reason was because I got absolutely fucked off with shows constantly getting moved around streaming platforms and having to maintain all these different subscriptions.

Setup my first media server last summer and I'm never looking back. Having everything in one place is amazing. But realistically with the amount I've spent on drives, the server PC I bought, cloud backups etc, I ain't recouping my costs that would've gone into subscriptions for a while lol.

Was at the gym yesterday and saw a younger guy benching 130kg. After his set I went up to him to let him know how impressed I was, kid was 19 whereas I'm 25 and can barely bench 100kg. As a joke I said to him "bro you gotta gimme the stack you're using", and he actually started to list off what he was taking. I clarified that I was joking because I couldn't tell whether he was being serious, but he was totally serious. He listed off like 3 or 4 different things...

At the start of this year, I set myself a goal to be able to rep out the 40kg dumbbells for 5 reps come summer time. Been making good progress. Been working in the 3-5 rep range. With the 36kg pair, my reps have been a bit all over the place, sometimes I'll only get 3, but sometimes I'll get 5 (getting it up is always the hardest part), so in my head I thought I wasn't ready to move up.

Anyways the 36kg pair were in use today and I saw the 38kg pair staring at me. Wasn't gonna grab them but then my gym buddy told me to just go for it. Managed to get them up and did 2 sets with them, and got 3 solid ass reps for both sets. I swear it's a mental thing, because after I did the 2 sets of 38kg, I got the 36kg pair which were free now and got 6 reps.

40's coming soon 💪🏼
