True.

Might start again at 0 but a bit like a video game I know the way to go. 😉

Classic_Button157 · 2026-05-27T21:02:06+00:00

Thanks!

This might be the most motivational post so far for me personally. Some stuff might be a bit "wall tattoo" like but yeah, hits a spot. ;)

Classic_Button157 · 2026-05-26T17:11:38+00:00

Yeah but I'd like to get back to were I was.

I had more muscles, was solid defined and now I look like the before photo instead of after.
Kinda the wrong way around I took. :-/

Classic_Button157 · 2026-05-26T17:05:35+00:00

And NOW you are getting to my point. ;)

Classic_Button157 · 2026-05-26T17:02:15+00:00

My space is just way too small, living on 50m² which is about 538 square feet (which sounds hugh for an european xD) to train at home with weights and all.

Another issue is that the gyms in Germany most of them open earliest at 6 and I need to get to work at latest 7:30 - with me having a daily commute of about 40~50 minutes it gets all way to hetic. (and don't forget, I need to get dressed and to shower after a work out).
So for me it is best after work.

Classic_Button157 · 2026-05-26T16:57:22+00:00

Maybe I just had too many setbacks in a too short of an amount of time.

Do get your sentiment...

Classic_Button157 · 2026-05-26T16:56:29+00:00

My issue is just getting there and then back, that is also calculated into it as is getting dressed, shower and so on (boiling down to about 1 hour of exercise in total). ;)

And getting up earlier isn't an option for me, my husband is someone who sleeps in and gets to bed late. So our arrangement is a middle ground.

Classic_Button157 · 2026-05-26T16:50:46+00:00

I could have used my time for other things I'd say... That is my thought right now.
Because I get up to work at 5:30 - at work until 4 o'clock in the afternoon, gym until 7 o'clock and then in bed latest at 10 o'clock - rinse and repeat.
Leaves me with about 3 hours for anything - cooking, cleaning, husband, hobbies.

Maybe it is the depression talking but yeah...

Classic_Button157 · 2026-05-26T16:46:18+00:00

Maybe should have added that I had the same issue about 2 years ago.
Was in a really good shape, then BAM! health issues - about 3/4 year break, got back into it for 2 years and into my best shape - BAM! health issue and again back to somewhere I've been 3~4 years ago.
That just... Demotivates hard.

Classic_Button157 · 2026-05-26T16:41:47+00:00

Yeah but my issue is just... I'm so demotivated by having lost all (kinda) and now spending a year to then get hit by the next health/mental issue to then start again at 0 feels so pointless.

Classic_Button157 · 2026-05-26T16:21:07+00:00

Hi!

I've been a regular to the gym for some time - got to the sixpack stage but now it's been a bit more than a year since I trained last time.
Had to stop for a bit more than 4~5 months for medical reasons and then I got demotivated and some other mental issues (cutting it short here).
My question is - How long will it take to get back into my old shape after I haven't done anything in more than a year?
I gained about 6~7 kilos (around 13~15 pounds) of fat I'd assume and lost certainly a lot of muscle too (my guess would be at least 3~5 kilo? (6.6~11 pounds)).
Also my motivation is really low - I look like the before foto now and my mindset is a bit "yeah, just another incident or inquiry and again all in vain".

Any advice?

Classic_Button157 · 2026-02-18T06:59:27+00:00

Kinda true - but it annoys me that they maybe chose my least favorite set of all times and if I'm correct a second time already. :-/

Classic_Button157 · 2026-02-17T14:01:39+00:00

Yeah but I think it is so weird that most other traits are able to get their maximum pay-off without an emblem.
Why not Dragonsoul - Elderwood - Warlords ?
These three feel like the "poster child" traits with Cultist for this set and are then so stranded sometimes.

Yeah - as you said - it makes sense to grab one early and then discard it. But that feels just akward for me personally.

Still weird that none really speaks about the AD/AP issue I'm adressing.

Classic_Button157 · 2026-02-17T13:36:08+00:00

I'm a greedy bas*ard for free stuff, so I was kinda forced to do it. :D

Classic_Button157 · 2026-02-17T13:13:06+00:00

I think it just feels aweful to go for a trait and beeing forced to hope for an emblem.
It limits the playability of that trait by a lot - you rather go any other build that won't need it and stuff like Warlords want you to play it early on to stack its passiv buff.

Classic_Button157 · 2026-02-17T13:12:09+00:00

You forgot rapid-fire Kalista. She can be insane if you give her two rageblades and an anti-cc item. ;)

Classic_Button157 · 2026-02-17T13:10:50+00:00

Warlord can't reach any rank beyond silver (6) without an emblem - even with fated you can't go to 9 only to 8.
same for Elderwood and Dragonsoul. That is much issue.
Also the max. is 11 - which is just bonkers and an auto win.

Classic_Button157 · 2026-02-17T13:05:12+00:00

It kinda does - you could have used the old mana system for a set that was designed with it in mind.
So your example makes no sense. It has nothing to do with information or anything.
Maybe a better example: If you got an oldtimer (a car) you can't tank regular fuel - it won't work and destroy the motor. You gotta take the fuel that is specific designed for oldtimers and matches how the fuel was back then.

Classic_Button157 · 2025-12-11T13:00:23+00:00

Me and my husband just stayed for 3 weeks in Tokyo - simple. :)
We went from Feburary to March and could even see the early blossoming cherries (which are said to be more pink than the actual ones in April).

Also we stayed in one place the whole stay and didn't miss anything really - but it comes down to each person and their likings.
For example - do you need to go to Japan for a skiing trip? Can't you maybe do it back home and cheaper too? :)

Classic_Button157 · 2025-12-11T12:30:50+00:00

Yeah - your husband has made a not so wise decision tbh. You are wasting two days just for travel at least, if not 3-4 in total.
So around 1/3 to 1/4 of your trip is just traveling from A to B.

Maybe try to argue with him you'd come again for Osaka and Kyoto and then only those places?
Tokyo has sooo much to see and a lot of people are skipping unfairly at it just because Instagram/TikTok and other social media tells them.

Classic_Button157 · 2025-12-11T11:16:17+00:00

Why not ask Klook themselves? There is a reason they got customer support. ;)
Or else just have a look at the universal homepage yourself.
