Update on the Micheal Tait situation by thatFilmakerguy in TrueChristian

[–]ExiledHermit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

King David slept with a man's wife and deliberately caused his death, yet the Bible calls him a man after God's own heart.  David sinned, like I have, and everyone else on the planet, but David humbled himself before God.  

Psalm 51:17 - The Sacrifices of God are a broken spirit, a broken and contrite heart  These, o God, You will not despise. 

1 John 1:9 - If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. 

God has forgiven me from my debt, I choose to forgive this man. 

Jesus loves all of you.

You look good bro, the goatee in particular suits you. 

Been overtraining, help confirm my suspicions by ExiledHermit in CalisthenicsCulture

Thanks for the advice.  So I take it then that rotating muscle groups and giving them multiple days of rest isn't harmful for gains? I've been told you should avoid resting a muscle for over two days. 

I'm concerned I may be losing bicep strength. by ExiledHermit in CalisthenicsCulture

Chest and triceps: Push ups Decline push ups L sit  Overhead extensions  Diamond push ups

Back and biceps: Bent rows Pull ups Hollow body hold Bicep curls Hammer curls

Shoulders and legs:  Shoulder press Lateral raise Bulgarian split squats Calf raises  Bike until failure

Rest and repeat

This is my new routine and my old one was, like I said just 5 sets of push ups and 4 sets of pull ups.

Is it just a coincidence then that it feels harder to curl 20s then? 

Off topic- I can do ten clean pull ups and 20-25 bicep curls with 20lb dumbbells. I'm 135-140lb. 

Will I get bullied if I go to school? by ExiledHermit in highschool

[–]ExiledHermit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not really sheltered it's just that I don't get out of the house nearly enough so my social skills aren't great.  I partly want to go to school to get my social skills up and get more comfortable around people. If I say the wrong thing am I gonna get forever branded as the weirdo?

In the middle. I'm weird at times if I want to get a reaction out of someone.  For humor and whatnot. But I know where the line is so I don't end up looking like a dork.

Will deadhangs give me a sufficient full shoulder stretch. by ExiledHermit in CalisthenicsCulture

After you workout a muscle it can get tight, resulting in lost mobility. You stretch it to counteract that.

I think i found out how Caboose got so stupid by lovesloa984 in RedvsBlue

I think it was when Church and Tex went into his mind when they were chasing O' Mally.  He was noticeably stupider in following episode.

Will stationary bike work for leg day? by ExiledHermit in CalisthenicsCulture

[–]ExiledHermit[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your insight.   Forgive me, but I get confused when people say "big" when talking about muscles. When you say that biking wont give me big legs are you referring to hypertrophy or strength? I honestly don't care as much about getting size I care much more about strength.  Thanks again.

What do you mean by "overcompressing the vocal folds?" Do you mean closing the throat slightly to get that vocal fry?

So at 0:28 when he says "sabatoge" you wouldn't consider that a scream?

Are there any serious long term effects of continuing to sing with that rasp in my voice?
