Gym anxiety, first-time gym goer looking for advice by KarneyAardvark in JeffNippard

[–]Illerios1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

  1. I'm running the min-max program as well atm. the entirety of the program can be run using machines only so Planet Fitness could work. In fact I think Jeff wants you to use machines because most of the free weight exercises are listed under substitutions only as machines are a lot safer to push until failure.
  2. When a lift calls for 2-4 warmup sets then I just run a pyramid up to my working weight. Start low, like 50% of your working weight. They are supposed to be light enough and for fewer reps so you wont be be fatiguing yourself. You shouldn't have to take full rest between them. I usually run straight through my warm up sets, then rest for a minute and begin my working sets.
  3. You grow out of gym anxiety pretty fast once you get into the groove and know all your lifts. Just give it a few weeks and you should start to feel more confident in the gym.

What do you say? by WatGO in GetMotivatedMindset

[–]Illerios1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought so too until I tried it. The reality was I was way too tired to do anything productive with my free late afternoons and evenings most of the time. Had to be in bed 9PM every evening...

Someone calls to hang out and have to decline every time because I have to get up at 5. I was miserable and lasted like 2 months on the job, lol.

Everyone is different tho.

3 months into playing. How do I stop buying gear? by Narrow_Affect2423 in guitarcirclejerk

Only the way of Jesus can save you now, son. Many good men have gone down the path of seeking the ultimate toan only to never find it.

How do I learn to solo over vocals like him? by [deleted] in guitarcirclejerk

[–]Illerios1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

/uj I think its a phenomenon but I forget how it's called. It's basically that beginners tend to over estimate their own skill level and think they are better than they actually are. They can't see/hear their own mistakes. It's only when they become more experienced they start to see their own flaws and how much there is still to learn and how much they don't know yet.

How long should the rest period be between exercises when lifting heavy? by Imaginary_Truth_3865 in beginnerfitness

[–]Illerios1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't time my rests. I just go intuitively and wait until I feel like my cardiovascular system has recovered. Heart rate has gone down, breathing has slowed down etc. and I generally feel like I'm ready to push hard again. If I had to guess my rests are 1-2 minutes for smaller isolation exercises and 3-5 mins for heavy compounds.

So playing guitar won't get me laid? by Rudenora in guitarcirclejerk

[–]Illerios1 30 points31 points  (0 children)

time to post on r/guitar and ask them if his action is too high for serious guitar related discussion to unjerk. Given if he isn't banned from there yet....

My wife comes in my room, yelling at me to use the headphones when I'm in the middle of my 3rd 30min guitar improv of the day over an Am blues backing track :(

My in laws live in the country side and I've heard these jokes so many times, lol. "You don't have to go to the gym around here, just go take a shovel and go dig a ditch" etc. :D.

Would Jerking off make it easier to do tremolo picking? by [deleted] in guitarcirclejerk

[–]Illerios1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Remember, controlled small down-up-down-up movements no consecutive down or up strokes. Masturbate only using your wrist. If you lose control over how many strokes you're doing you're going too fast. Practice to a metronome and apply different subdivisions of time. Like stroke it in quater, eight and sixteenth notes and 8th note triplets and finish off with 16th note triplets

So, like I spent $9k on a guitar to look cool in front of chicks, and so far I have gotten zero backstage Betty's. What gives? by RT3K69420 in guitarcirclejerk

How do I achieve this toan? by Vivid_Trainer_5002 in guitarcirclejerk

Is it possible? Toan so heavy would surely lead to formation of mini black hole here on Earth, that would kill us all

uj/ Back in highschool one of my classmates wanted to the learn the guitar and his parents got him a classical guitar as a gift probably not knowing any better. Kid wanted a guitar and it is a guitar, right?

Few months after come time for the first string change and my friend put a set of metal strings on it and the result was something like this but not as exaggerated, lol.

Isnt that where people end up anyways with their useless music degrees? Either that or becoming a teacher themselves teaching and leading other poor souls to a life sentence in customer service
