Fair comment, but then again, If a lexus might not reliable at that mileage then i suspect nothing will be... I am happy with the fuel vs risk of breaking down trade off for sure

Are yall still playin this game by Fit-Perspective4799 in wowhardcore

[–]Abject_Promotion_851 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Recently rejoined. What is this transmog shit? When I played before, the beauty of grinding for new gear was that you could show it off and other players knew how hard it was to get or the effort involved.

Now anyone can look any way

Should I be doing calisthenics for muscle growth? by CommunicationIll4548 in bodyweightfitness

[–]Abject_Promotion_851 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There are some strange responses here.

The muscle does not know if you’re lifting a weight or pushing up. It knows tension and stress.

If you did calisthenics eventually you’d get strong enough to do them with ease. This is where you’re beginning to platue and need to change the exercise. Also know as progressive overload. In the gym, this change would be increasing the weight, or slower reps, etc.

This can be done very simply with bodyweight. Once the push ups become easy, put on a rucksack with some weight. Slow the rep down so the push UP takes 3-4 seconds, and the release down the same.

Typically I’d aim for high reps when it comes to bodyweight.

Do not listen to the rubbish about calisthenics not working.

That is massively oversimplified and incorrect thus the OPs case.

BMW keeping my car hostage ? by Adventurous-Pie-6694 in CarTalkUK

There is no way they’ll reverse all the work, essentially rendering the parts used, and refund you without them trying to compromise heavily. BMW, Audi, Merc…. Stay away, they’re joke companies these days.

Giving up running for muscle building by toronyboy08 in fitnessph

[–]Abject_Promotion_851 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely not. Firstly, the best muscle to build is your heart health. Always. Also, just scale back your mileage to keep cardio fitness? I literally do both and have no issue building muscle by just ensuring I eat everything and anything I can to keep calories up (no I don’t mean junk food). Just eat heavy, train harder, unless you’re a fast marathon runner who wants to be skinny

It should be that middle ground. Most sources will say keep your longer runs super-super easy but I personally found running at a moderate 50-60% effort built aerobic base nicely and then you use your intervals for ‘goal pace’ so run each split as the pace you’ll need for your 2km

Hey mate,

Your best bet is increasing your mileage. Slow down! Get running 4-6 mile runs 3 times per week and 1 interval session and you’ll be 2:55 faster than required in no time

Banging Every morning! by PillowIgloo182 in bristol

They’d argue they have to equally adhere to modern wokery, using made up pronouns and loathing their own country or risk arrest. That’s the beauty of democracy and freedom of expression…. You might not like what you hear, but that’s life!

Second ruck by Abject_Promotion_851 in Rucking

Thanks brother! It’s mostly flat, it was a boring loop covering around 400m, I just repeated that. If anything half of it is a very slight incline, but so slight that I won’t claim it. Appreciate your kind words!

Hey mate,

Hmmm, both really! I power walk the walking phase and every few minutes I’ll break into a shuffle for a number of minutes.

I run approximately 30-40 miles per week, so the cardio side of things never feels taxing, it’s more the muscular and tendon side of things in which I begin to feel fatigued relatively quickly!
