I have never filled the pitchers on mine, and they fill with liquid themselves pretty easily. I just feed it flies.

Once you go Green You'll never... return serene? Best I could do.
We have beans, beef stroganoff, and moths. And people are nicer. I believe that all of this is related.
I like to go with as much volume as is necessary to get a positive response. If my reps are going up and/or RPE is going down I know that I'm making progress and that whatever volume I'm using is adequate. That might not be optimal, but I don't get burned out this way, and if things start to stall I have room to increase volume further if I need to. That's just my preference, though.

This is awesome! Love that he's into cooking.
9 sets is just fine. Recent research seems to suggest that 10 is optimal (some gains after that but returns diminish quickly).
Take a look at the work by Dr. Pak (Androulakis-Korakakis) on minimum effective dose training. I might get maybe 3-6 sets of chest a week deepening on what wrist is going on and I'm still making gains.
So my coach told me that my snatches were so slow that they might get red lights in competition 😂 so that was encouraging. Guess I need to work on my speed under.
I did 4x4 front squats with 82kg last week. I'm building my squat back up after multiple issues, starting with a quad tear about 7 years ago. Hopefully I can get it back up to a decent level soon.

Obviously you have to use your fingers, because you need to stick the olives on the ends of your fingers and wiggle your fingers around first before eating the olives.

Spice blend:
- 2tbsp Sichuan peppercorn
- 6 chile de arbol peppers
- 1tsp peppercorns
- small piece of cinnamon
- 1 star anise
- 1/2 tbsp cumin seed
- 2tbsp chicken bouillon powder
- 1tsp brown sugar
Toast everything but the bouillon and sugar over medium heat until fragrant and smokes a bit, then grind everything in a spice grinder.
Chicken (estimating amounts as I did not measure):
- Crushed corn flakes (I think this was about half a large box)
- 3 tbsp spice blend above, divided
- Coconut yogurt (could just use greek yogurt), about 1/2c
- 6 boneless skinless chicken thighs
Pound thighs out so that they're flat and even. Mix yogurt with 1tbsp of the spice blend. Coat chicken thighs with yogurt mixture. Mix crushed corn flakes with remaining 1tbsp of spice blend. Press thighs into the crushed cornflakes until coated evenly all over.
Place thighs in an air fry and cook at 350F for 18 minutes, then at 400F for 5 minutes.
Sauce (estimating amounts as I did not measure):
- About half a cup of doubanjiang (could use gochujang here or maybe even sriracha)
- 1/4c Korean chile flakes (use something mild if you have to substitute)
- 1c honey
- 1/2c unseasoned rice wine vinegar
- 1/4tsp msg
- 1/2 tbsp corn starch
- 2tbsp sesame seed
While the chicken is cooking, whisk the sauce ingredients together. Cook in a pan over medium heat until it starts to bubble - it should thicken at this point, so remove from heat. When the chicken is ready, dip the chicken into the sauce on both sides, then slice on a cutting board and serve with rice (or put it on a bun and eat it as a sandwich).

So far 2 of the 3 scions are putting out growth. I'm hoping the 3rd gets around to it eventually.

I think they'd drink up the nutrient solution but I've never tried it TBH. I just feed mine flies when they're available. I do think humidity can be a factor so keep an eye on that, but I think that's more of a matter of keeping the plant well watered. Mine seems to fill the pitchers as they grow and also seems to keep them topped off.
Point being, I just feed mine flies and water it regularly and that seems to keep it happy. I don't mess with it much outside of that.
