    7th Annual Anandtech Tax Time Thread

    Quick Roth IRA question... Does a contribution to a Roth IRA via company retirement plan count in the $5,000/year limit? So if I have my own personal Roth IRA, would the max contribution I can make be $5,000 minus retirement IRA contribution. Thanks.

    7th Annual Anandtech Tax Time Thread

    Hey everyone, I have a 5405 question.... I bought a house in August 2009, and as far as I can see I have the option of amending my 2008 return via 1040x or file the 5405 with the 2009 return. The issue is that if I file with 2009, my AGI would prevent me from collecting the $8,000 Home...

    The Deadlift Thread - Lets move 2,000,000 pounds

    I DL every week. I usually do a high volume every other week. In the other weeks I might do low reps/sets with heavy... like 315x5 405x5x3 ... Not sure why... that's the way it has progressed and just become my routine. I might need to switch it up, since I feel like I've hit a wall at my...

    are you supposed to tip at all inclusive resorts?

    In DR we tipped... just singles for drinks and couple bucks for daily room service (usually we requested more beer/water)... Good thing is after the first 2 days the bartenders knew us and would serve us first tip or no tip... every couple rounds we'd tip

    Quest for 5 plate Deadlift - My workout journal

    Good lift... any reason why you're using the sumo stance rather than the typical DL stance (arms outside legs)? Recently I've been trying to work-in the sumo DL into my routine (I've hit a wall on my DL using the current stance) and arms on inside feels off.

    Did DL on Tuesday. Somewhat easy day... didn't feel like doing the 455 or 495 for a couple. 10*135 + 8*225 + 5*315 + 5*405 + 8*315 + 10 *225 = 11,520 Total: 32,910
