OP if you can bench your body weight, that's good. Of course the only people on here who would respond to this thread can bench impressive amounts. Not a good sample

"Back in '02, I used to be able to throw a pigskin a quarter mile." I do the same bench workout every Friday and it suits me well. Rep 5-5-3-3-1-1. I start with 225 and add 20 lbs each set (i.e., 225x5, 245x5, 265x3, etc.). After that I grab 3 elastic bands and put them on the ends of the bar going under the bench. I put 225 on and bench that until failure with a spot. Last I grab two 5lbs plates and squish them together with my palms starting from my chest and push out. 3 sets of 10. Then I go home. Phenomenal workout for those chest gainzzzzz

Dear All Fisbowls,

I have a query. Request all of yours suggestion and if you have done something similar to this please share.

You have resigned and have offer in hand suppose 15 fixed.
Meanwhile you get another offer but they will give around 17 fixed.
I am thinking to quote my in hand offer as 17 fixed with changes in it and share it with them.
So that they can give me around 20 fixed.
Request to share honest detail here.

Hi! I have a quick question and could use some advice:

I have just interviewed for a position closer to home and a base salary of 65k, but haven’t heard back from them in about 2 days (He said he would make a decision by yesterday and I’ve reached out).
I have to decide on the first offer by Thursday but I haven’t heard back from the second yet. Thoughts on next move?

I’m a very experienced veterinary assistant who has been doing this job for about 4 years in total however because of my skill level I would say I am more of an unlicensed technician. I’m looking for input on what I should ask for a raise. Given the minimum wage, I make about $5 over but that hasn’t really changed to match inflation of living, etc and truly feel like I should be making a decent amount more given my skills. Any helpful advice?
