QUEST FORUM

I’m prepping for a national competition and looking for an edge that’s still within reason. I’ve considered but I want to be absolutely sure I’m not jeopardizing my health or career. What do serious lifters do when they choose to go this route?

I’ve been thinking a lot about how much visual content actually affects attraction nowadays, especially on dating apps and social platforms. Like, can just a few pictures really shape how we feel about someone before even talking to them? I’m curious if anyone has noticed how much more attention they get just by tweaking their photos or the way they present themselves visually.

Back in March, I had to move out of my apartment in Fishtown on pretty short notice. My lease was ending, my landlord decided to sell the building, and I had about three weeks to figure everything out. I thought I could just wing it with a U-Haul and a couple of friends, but the reality hit hard once I started actually packing. I forgot how much stuff I'd crammed into that tiny place. Plus, my couch wouldn’t even fit through the front door the same way it came in—don’t ask me how that happened. I ended up scrambling to find a moving company last minute and let’s just say, not all of them are what they promise online. Some didn’t pick up, some quoted me double the price once I mentioned stairs. It was a mess until I finally found one that didn’t treat me like a nuisance.
