My Ultegra groupset was supposed to be delivered by FedEx on Saturday. According to their tracking it was about 1 hour away from me on Saturday, in Allentown PA.
Now they say it's delayed and location is now 2 hours away from me in North Jersey, and the site won't give me an estimated delivery date.
Is this SOP for FedEx?!?

Nice to see bampilot06 charged the phone. It was dangerously close to dying earlier.

Until now I was unaware bottle cages had names. None of mine have names, that I'm aware of. All but one are aluminum, and some are 30 or so years old.

I think that I could increase upper body strength without adding more than a 3-5 pounds of muscle and still get to a target weight of 170 next spring.

I've switched to hitting the parallel bars and pullup bar. Dips and leg lifts and pullups. I should probably mix in a day a week of light weights, but I never get around to it.

One guy in particular was lifting nearly as much as the heavyweights and he was around 175# iirc.
I haven't done any lifting in way too long and now that I don't work my arms and upper body are pretty weak. I gave away my bench and all my weights when we moved 5 years ago.
