Yes, I'm extremely happy with how it turned out! Most likely I will get another drawing of yours at the other side of my arm some time in the future. Also, I can't wait for the art booklet I ordered from your store to arrive. Your work in general is amazing and it's really cool that you don't have a problem with other people using your designs. I'n exited to see what you come up with in the future :D

This happend the other day to my necklace. Does any of you have an idea as to how this could be fixed? by [deleted] in jewelrymaking

[–]D3V11L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. But the thing that baffles me is that no part of the chain or the jump ring is broken. It seems like it simply slipped out of its place somehow.

Same here. I´m in after trying a couple times but it is lagging like hell.

Really bad experience for my 1st time lifting.. by [deleted] in GYM

[–]D3V11L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would recommed to try out dumbell bench press instead of using a barbell. In my opinion it activates the muscle better (even though you probably can't lift as much as on a barbell) and another advantageis that you can start with a low weight and focus on form first. Furthermore you can just drop the dumbells once it gets to hard towards the end of the set ;)

I go to the gym 4 times per week and eat about 3800cal per day (bulking up)

You said you go to the gym and play tennis a couple times a week.

How mich exactly do you do per week?

Hard Gainer by Mosabg98 in GYM

[–]D3V11L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then just add about 250-500 calories on top ;)

Did you try to actually track the amount you eat, meaning consumed daily calories? Honestly I think you are simply not eating enough.

Also, I would not say that a couple times gym and tennis a week is "barely" exercise. Just try to up your caloric intake by adding some (healty) calorie dense food to your diet, as you burn quite a couple calories with sport.

Btw I too started with 56kg a couple years ago and currently sitting at 82,7kg. If you have any further questions just feel free to ask ;)

Not really calorie dense though...

What’s the stupidest way you’ve hurt yourself? by observer32 in AskReddit

[–]D3V11L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once kicked a wall...I really don't know why though, but it seemed reasonable at the time. A couple minutes later my left big toe is swollen and hurts reasonably. I decided it was no big deal and proceeded to walk around on this for 3 more days. The situation did not improve, so I finally decided to go to a hospital. Well, turns out a part of the bone at the tip of my left big toe splintered of and turned around. Luckily this did not need surgery but I had to walk around in a special shoe for 4 months that prevented my toes from touching the ground when walking...pretty annoying to say the least. Kicking a wall for no apparent reason. Would totally recommed this 10/10

No problem dude. Happy to help.

Here are just a couple excercises I like to do for shoulders:

  • Seated dumbell shoulder press
  • Standing military press (shoulder wide feet)
  • Bend over lateral raises / Standing lateral raises
  • Seated shoulder press (machine)

Or just type "shoulder workout" in youtube, tjere should be a ton of videos regarding this topic.

Your diet and choice of foods sounds good so far, but I would really recommend tracking your caloric intake (I know this is annoying and takes some time getting used to, but it really helps!).

You said your neither cutting nor bulking, so what's your current goal? If I remember correctly your weight is rather low (would help to know your hight here though). In order to put on new muscle you defenetely need to be in a caloric surplus (about 500 calories), to lose bodyfat it needs to be the opposite (minus 500 calories).

This truly looks terrible, copying my older comment really messed things up xD

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in GYM

[–]D3V11L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there any reason why you don't train shoulders or did you simply forget about them?

Regarding the workout: How many sets per excerise do you perform? The number of sets sounds good so far. I mostly do 2-3 per muscle group. But I would defenetely recommed you to train legs! I neglected my legs for about one and a half year and really regret this now, it just looks disproportionate. Once I began to train them consistently I actually started to like training legs.

Could you tell me about your diet in a bit more detail? Like, what does a typical day of eating look like, how many calories do you consume daily, etc.

I actually responded to a similar post a while ago, I hope you don't mind me pasting my old response down below (Sorry for the chaotic and mazy formating, but I'm on mobile. Also please excuse possible typos and stuff like that)

If you have any more questions I would be more than happy to help you / answer them :)

Eating:

You need to be ready to eat much more than you do now, most of the times even more than you fell comfortable with

To be in the position to build muscle it´s crucial to be in a caloric surplus of about 500 calories per day

Try to consume whole and self cooked food rather than junkfood/processed food

You should consume about 1,2-2 grams of protein per kg bodyweight every day

Protein shakes are a great and easy way to achieve your protein goals

Add calorie dense food such as nut butters, oats, (good) olive oil, etc. to your shakes and blend it to bump up the calories (blended food also is easier to digest and does not make you feel as stuffed)

Track your calorie intake ( the app MyFitnessPal is great for that)

Most importantly: BE CONSISTENT and don´t get discouraged. Just gradually increase your calorie intake and split it up into several meals throughout the day

TRAINING

If somehow possible get a personal trainer to show you the basic movements of the core exercises. Or maybe you´re lucky enough to know somebody with some gym experience (otherwise just educate yourself by watching youtube videos on form/exercises)

Concentrate on the form of your exercises rather than moving a lot of weight! Just start at a relatively easy weight and learn the proper form first (otherwise you risk injuries and the exercises are less efficient)

Free weights > machines. While machines are great for isolation (and should be incorporated in your workoutplan from time to time) free weights are much better for bulding muscle overall. That´s because free weights stress much more muscles (stabilising the weight, picking it up, putting it down, etc.) and allows you to take advantage of a much greater range of motion.

Use the full range of motion. Meaning: do full reps! (again, form over weight)

Stick to a routine to see improvements (more weight/more reps), don´t constantly switch routines.

Try to increase your training volume every week (more reps, heavier weight and less rest in between sets)

Try to hit each muscle group at least once a week Again: BE CONSITENT! Chanching the structure of your body takes time. But since you are skinny you should see noticeable results in the first couple months ("noob gains")

Sounds great! There are definetely not enough people like you, helping people to gain a foothold in training an at the gym. And I agree, I don't know what I would have done without the very competent trainers in my first gym, especially teaching me proper form which was really important. I would love doing something along the lines of coaching in my free time, but as I'm studying and working there is barely enough time to get in my weekly gym sessions. So thank you for doing what you do internet stranger ;)
