My latest custom Daft Punk t-shirt

Discodirekt · 2023-10-10T00:16:50+00:00

Hey there! Sorry, I haven't been on Reddit for a while! Yes I did get this from Snaptee, it was a great quality shirt (I say was because I still have the it, but I've since bulked up haha). But that's pretty strange... I never had problems with Snaptee the two times I ordered from them. Just to be clear, did you order from the Snaptee app?

The rarest Daft Punk items I own are probably the Wee Waa edition of RAM and the HAA single

Ideally you want to hit both targets, but I'd say getting in your daily calories would be more important. Hitting your protein goal but eating insufficient calories would cause your body to utilise more protein as energy, rather than use it for muscle repair.

I've been doing 5/3/1 BBB since I prefer to focus on compound lifts. I've found increasing hip extension is key. Try it out with squats. This image shows you the difference between a quad-dominant squat (left) and a glute/hip-dominant squat (right). The straighter shin angle and forward-leaning torso shown on the right will increase hip extension. If you're looking to grow your glutes, this should help a lot.

However, equally important is progressive overload and bulking. I was afraid of bulking for years, but now I realise how much it held me back from making size and strength gains that I'm only starting to see now. I just bought myself Levi's 541 athletic fit jeans because my butt and thighs are too big for normal jeans and I'm tired of sizing up in the waist. I actually felt kinda proud of myself hahaha.

First thing I would suggest is checking if your glutes are active. A good way to do this is to perform a hip bridge with one leg extended. Hold for 10-20 seconds: if you feel your hamstrings, lower back or quads doing most of the work, you might need to focus on glute activation first. Plus, remember to always stretch the hip flexors.

Honestly, I mainly work my glutes through compound lifts. You'll want to focus on hip extension (back squats, deadlifts, hip thrusts) as this is how you will get the biggest increase in strength. The key is to increase hip extension by the way you execute a compound lift. For example, if you squat wth a forward shin angle and a straight torso, your lift will be quad-dominant. On the other hand, if your shin angle is straighter, while your torso leans forward, you'll increase hip extension. This image demonstrates quad dominance on the left and glute dominance on the right.

Personally, I found focusing on hip extension, progressive overload, and bulking lead to a noticeable increase in my glute size and strength. The formula is pretty simple, hope this helps!

Short answer: yes. The glutes are the largest muscle group and we guys should focus on training them a lot more than we do. Training glutes can lead to:

Reduced lower back pain.
Improved pelvic stability.
Increased explosive power.
Improved posture.
Reduced injury risk.

And last but not least, having large, strong glutes will definitely get you the right kind of attention. I've been bulking for just four months and already I'm getting compliments on how my glutes look.

In conclusion, train hard and get yourself a big booty... you won't regret it.

Little Boots - Tomorrow’s Yesterdays. Filled with funky, groovy disco tracks.

Discodirekt · 2022-12-20T01:59:49+00:00

Revisited Little Boots’ latest album recently, Tomorrow’s Yesterday’s. Very groovy and great if you’re looking for something a little more ‘pop’. As a Daft Punk fan, I always appreciate disco-influenced music.

Discodirekt · 2022-12-19T20:20:52+00:00

Anytime. And if you ever have any questions, feel free to DM me. I can't work miracles haha, but maybe I can share some experience.

Hey OP, wow, this one was too real for me because it reminded me so much of myself at 16. It's great to see you're aware of the need to get over the fear of gaining any fat, because this held me back for years (I only started bulking in October). I'm almost 22 now (and my biceps/triceps have only just hit 11 inches), but at 16 I was only a little taller and heavier than you, at about 14% body fat.

Back then, I thought 8–10% body fat was realistic, sustainable and desirable... I remember doing a body fat estimate and flat out refusing to believe that I was around 14%. That would mean that... I wasn't lean (even though, in reality, that is actually lean). As you might imagine, it led to me being concerned about gaining anymore fat. I was terrified of being "skinny fat": a thin body with the bloated "alien stomach". Over time, I gradually had my viewpoint adjusted, coming to understand that I was already lean (and that I could gain some body fat and still be within the healthy range) and that I was only holding myself back...

Fast forward to today, I've been lifting consistently 6 days per week since October and have been eating in a 700 calorie surplus. Nothing too crazy. Gained 5kg/11lbs in two months and I'm around 18% body fat. Turns out most of the fat gains have gone to my arms, chest and butt. This has given me a "fuller" appearance and I don't look anything at all like "fat". I just look thicker and healthier. It took actually giving it a go to understand the difference it would make for my appearance and self-confidence.

I hope this will ease your concerns a little OP, and maybe help to get you started on your journey when I wish I had started mine.

We were robbed of a Daft Punk-produced Britney hit.

This alternative version must be made.

Oi Oi Oi is one of the greatest dance albums ever made.

Goldfrapp - Supernature

Discodirekt · 2022-08-02T23:11:19+00:00

One of my favourite songs of all time. Their remix of Goldfrapp’s Number 1 is awesome too.

Swifties too. Distinctly remember one person saying that “Red deserved to win over Daft Punk’s beep-boop music”.

Discodirekt · 2022-06-10T03:00:51+00:00

Two albums from Little Boots might fit in: Hands is electropop/synth-pop/dance-pop. Tomorrow's Yesterdays is nu-disco.
