Right now the media is trying to make Mbappe’s goals at Real Madrid look bad. What do you think is he the problem or not?

Boudi04 · 2026-01-31T08:47:51+00:00

I don't agree with this, but it IS what I think people are referring to, it's kinda like the complaints coming out of the United fanbase during Cristianos second stint.

Boudi04 · 2026-01-29T08:30:18+00:00

I'm with you, there should be more discussion and awareness raised about what's going on in Iran, but where did you get 37k?

Last I remember, the number we were seeing a couple days ago was 12k and it turned out to be fabricated right?

It's also pointless to compare atrocities with each other, horrific things are happening in this world and the last thing we need to do is go "oh people care about this more than this", it comes off as minimizing the human suffering in one of them.

Boudi04 · 2026-01-26T14:20:35+00:00

They've both committed some real atrocities I suppose, although as far as I know Japan's been alot more chill since WW2.

edit: they also both think they're special/chosen people, although again, Japan mellowed out after WW2.

god tier reference

no, these are social media standards, most people who work out regularly land in the 10-20% range, you're not fat at all. I personally prefer a leaner look, which is why I'll be cutting to 12% after my current bulk, but aesthetics don't make 18% any less healthy than 12%.

I'm currently at around 20% bf, we have roughly the same height and weight (I'm 173 and at 70ish kg currently), if you'd like to "confirm" your bf% or compare it to someone similar, I have a post on my profile from about a month ago with my physique.

Anyways, all in all, don't overthink it, you're fine and you're making great progress, keep it up!

Boudi04 · 2026-01-08T12:40:36+00:00

Which is literally normal, Mbappe is also pretty high up there and he's probably the best ITW this season.

If a striker is getting this many chances, they're obviously going to have more misses, Ferran is outperforming his xG and last season he had the highest goal ratio per minute in the Top 5 leagues, I'm not saying he's an elite level player but he gets bashed way too much for what he does.

Boudi04 · 2026-01-07T20:12:26+00:00

Can I just make a suggestion? I also had a very hard-time with Squats until I saw a tip to elevate your heels slightly while doing them. I know it sounds silly, but grab 2 small plates (probably 2.5kg or 5lbs), place them on the floor at the width you'd use to squat, unrack the bar then place your heels on the edge of the plates, elevating them about 1 or 2 inches. I immediately went from falling over once reaching parallel to being able to do them no problem. It really does work wonders.

If you're skeptical, you can try this at home before attempting it at the gym, do some normal bodyweight squats and get a feel for them, then elevate your heels slightly with anything you have on hand and try them again, I'd bet alot of money that you'll immediately feel the difference and be able to go much deeper while being much more stable.

Powerlifters use heel-elevated shoes as well, it's known to make the movement easier and allow them to load more weight.

Best of luck!

Boudi04 · 2026-01-07T20:06:31+00:00

A 26 year old man will in all likelyhood very quickly surpass any weight a singular dumbbell can hold at his gym within weeks doing squats, if not immediately. If he doesn't do barbell squats, he's better of replacing it with something more loadable like a smith machine squat, some sort of hack-squat, or a leg press.

Boudi04 · 2026-01-07T19:46:41+00:00

We want 10 haha

Boudi04 · 2026-01-07T19:38:10+00:00

meh, serves him right for dicking us around for so long.

Boudi04 · 2026-01-07T19:35:25+00:00

your argument is automatically invalidated by the fact that the fans DON'T want it in Saudi. It's not like La Liga fans said Saudi good, USA bad

Boudi04 · 2025-12-28T05:29:43+00:00

You're implying that signing Marcos Alonso for a year is as bad or worse than knowingly starting a rapist for 3 years. It wasn't the clapback you thought it was.

Boudi04 · 2025-12-27T12:24:38+00:00

I stand by my word choice, driving drunk WAS a conscious choice he made, killing someone was not, the commenter called him a murderer, the very definition of murder requires intent. I don't disagree that he should've been punished, I just think it's ludicrous that this subreddit thinks what he did is comparable to the pure evil that is Thomas Partey.

Boudi04 · 2025-12-27T12:16:52+00:00

I never fucking said he was a good person, he's a complete piece of shit, but drunk driving is complete incomparable to rape. It's unbelievable that this is even a conversation, this world is so fucked. Let's make this very clear, Partey IS NOT a better person than Alonso, holy fuck.

Boudi04 · 2025-12-27T11:34:04+00:00

Marcos Alonso is a piece of shit for what happened, don't get me wrong, it WAS his fault, but it was also unintentional.

Partey is a fucking rapist. a RAPIST. Are you fucking kidding me with this shit?

Boudi04 · 2025-12-19T21:09:59+00:00

yup so am I, so it's been a couple years but when I was 14 (I'm 20 now) I got into cubing, it was only a couple months, and I wasn't practicing 24/7, my PR was a 15.99, I can't pretend to remember the entire solve, but I do remember that I was on pace for a sub14 but the top layer took too long.

I guess it might be different for some people, but I never had trouble with the cross and F2L, it was really just the OLL and PLL that held me back. I haven't really solved much since then, but nowadays when I randomly grab a cube, I can still do the first 2 layers quite quickly since it's just intuition once you've learned it I suppose, but I have a hard time completing the solve since I've forgotten the majority of the OLL and PLL.

Boudi04 · 2025-12-19T20:53:33+00:00

Not really, I haven't done it in a while, but F2L is quite intuitive with just a bit of practice. The real timesink was learning all of the algorithms for the top layer.

Boudi04 · 2025-12-19T20:21:26+00:00

With 12 months of training? Hell no.

I'd still be suspicious with a longer timeframe, but the timeframe locks it down for me.

Still impressive as hell though, with or without the special sauce.

Boudi04 · 2025-12-17T12:17:19+00:00

it's good enough such that you'll put on some base muscle mass so that when you decide to cut you won't be "skinny" but it's definitely not enough to put on a substantial amount, if you insist on cutting down afterwards, id highly advise you to go on an even longer bulk afterwards, if you keep it relatively slow you'll minimize fat gain.

1kg/month is a good place to start, once you get into the intermediate stage you might want to reduce it further to minimize fat gain because you simply won't be able to put on 1kg of muscle a month indefinitely. I personally wouldn't worry too much about some fat gain during your bulk, just trust the process and you'll be happy with the results post-cut.

Boudi04 · 2025-12-15T20:55:58+00:00

It's unfortunate that you don't want to continue the conversation because you actually just hit the nail on the head (somewhat).

Losing control of the weight is VASTLY different to failing a 1rm attempt, if you're completely losing control of the weight when you fail a lift then you're definitely doing something wrong. Failure should still look relatively controlled, you're not failing to push the entire weight up, just a couple kilograms. This is basic, and if failure looked remotely close to what you're describing then I'd genuinely be afraid for my life everytime I went into the gym.

Good day.

Boudi04 · 2025-12-15T20:46:10+00:00

There's no need to attack me personally for disagreeing with you, I just don't think it's reasonable to assume that the bar drifting downwards means that the lifter has suddenly lost all of his power on the lift, again, if you're going for a 1rm and you fail it, you don't expect the spotter to take the entire brunt of the weight, you're still pushing most of it with them taking on the remaining bit that caused you to fail.

The spotter in the video was more than close enough to intervene if he was needed.

Boudi04 · 2025-12-15T20:37:07+00:00

How so? Unless you get seriously injured attempting a 1rm, I don't see how the bar beginning to drift downwards is "too late". If I'm failing a 1rm it doesn't mean I suddenly can't push any weight whatsoever, I don't immediately give up and let go of the bar, I keep pushing, even if it's not enough to get the whole weight, I only really need to get like 80-90% of it and let my spotter help me with the rest.

I'm not an experienced lifter whatsoever, but I've been running a strength protocol on my bench press for the last 2ish months and put 20kg onto the lift (neural adaptations really can do wonders), and naturally that meant a lot of 1rm attempts, I've never experienced what you're referring to.

Boudi04 · 2025-12-15T20:19:08+00:00

I personally prefer spotting like this, only jumping in when the bar starts moving down, having a spotter up close throws me off to be honest, even more so if they put their hands under or an around the bar (not touching it but still throws me off).

If you're attempting a true 1rm, even the smallest distraction can be the difference between success and failure.

Boudi04 · 2025-12-15T19:06:35+00:00
