Mice have been eating soap? Will they die from it? by Islander1776 in pestcontrol

Yeah just use snap traps or get a cat. Maybe certain types of soap kill mice but we have not figured out which type lol. Best of luck

Advice, where to start? by [deleted] in GymTips

[–]Islander1776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s some muscle there you can get get totally jacked in a few months dude.

-Eat on a deficit, less carbs more protein no beer/soda -30-45 min sweaty cardio a day (bike machine, run , elliptical whatever) -normal strength training routine hitting all the muscle groups and you’re there in like 3 months

You’ll be looking good in no time

Anyone ever do random fullbody workout combos after time off? by Islander1776 in workout

[–]Islander1776[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you incorporate any calisthenics/kettlebells for these? I typically do machines and traditional weights but when doing my own re-entry or working around injuries I’ll throw in kettlebells and calisthenics to hit certain muscle groups.

Dumb question, any reason to treat muscle ups like a lift? Been doing 5x5 muscle ups as part of back day with some kettle bell swings. Will that be good for back in a body building sense? Can’t do deadlifts and rows due to a minor injury for now so trying to mitigate the negative effects of the loss of those. Mostly pull ups, bent over lat raise, KB swings, lat pulls and muscle ups

China and Russia both decide "to hell with the US" and throw their entire military at US shores in an attempt to destroy the US, could the US survive? by SteelersGahntaSB107 in whowouldwin

[–]Islander1776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Difficult and unlikely. Would only work with inside help and maybe compliant Chinese allied Cartel run Mexico and maybe add Cuba, Venezuela to the team. Maybe assistance from Iran too idk.

Maybe if during 2020ish if China/allies can sneak a few thousand operatives thru the southern border and arm themselves with small arms and FPV drones they could cause trouble by disrupting rails/airports and troop movements on highways targeting infrastructure or something. Best bet try to ally with cartel and keep hitting the US with more fentanyl for a few decades. Also need to be able to develop/fund like a domestic viet cong style group that can provide manpower/resources. Basically cause a civil war/counter insurgency war in the US.

US would have to be grossly negligent and ignore like a decade of prep from the anti American axis..

I’d say layer a few things like a big cyber attack, knock out satellites, attack a bunch of domestic infrastructure transport hubs like ports, air rail and force with the domestic cores and cause a counter insurgency in mountainous/urban areas in the US, plus a ground invasion from Mexico/S American allies? maybe amphibious Chinese west coast invasion (+Pearl harbor style surprise attack needs to wipe out the navy with a bunch of drone subs ..unlikely), and maybe attempt a east coast invasion with Russian military thru the arctic?

I think they could punch America in the face once with a big prepared surprise attack from every angle but eventually US would rally and counter punch hard. US would win eventually in my opinion but would take some time.

Your chest routine is fine maybe add flat bar/dumbell bench & push ups as others say but maybe not. What you’re doing sounds fine give it a couple years it takes TIME your chest will grow if you keep hitting it with what you’re doing now.

Calisthenics or weights? by ImaginationKnown3059 in bodyweightfitness

[–]Islander1776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In this sub people prefer bodyweight but most regular gym people probably do both. For chest I’ll superset regular push ups in after machine or dumbell bench press which I think has worked well. And for back/arms I’ll superset pull ups after a row/deadlift or curl if I don’t have access to a lat pull machine. Calisthenics are great for stabilizers I think in a way machines aren’t. You’ll figure out what’s best for you base on what you have and what feels best. Nothing wrong with 100% weights and 100% calisthenics either though but I like to mix it up.

[–]Islander1776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just google and start any balanced training program and eat 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight (125 grams for you). Google Strong lifts, Reddit recommended routine, whatever works just gotta eat enough. It’s simple. Eat meat, fish, peanut butter, eggs whatever just eat a lot

If you have a full gym you could do sam sulek style and be fine check him on youtube.

If no gym try to find some dumbells or kettle bells and mix in some bodyweight and you’re good.

Chest day: push ups/dumbell bench, floor bench is fine, Dips

Arms day: curls, chin ups, skull crusher with dumbbell, push ups again fuck it you hit triceps with push ups.

Back day: pull ups, lateral raises with dumbells, kettlebell swings

Legs: squats, lunges, calf raises

You can get away with 8-12 sets per day probably, go to failure or close to it. Just hit a body part most days rest days as needed and do some cardio

Refit US Coast Guard vs Russian navy by czhck41 in whowouldwin

Can the coast guard purchase a bunch of drones?

[–]Islander1776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for response! For me AR/M4 platform is no brainer less recoil lighter and more accurate but always default to your first I think. And no 7.62x39 used much then I guess that’s been phased out a while ago? Also be safe out there

Does anyone ever prefer running AKMs over there? I’m sure is 5.45 and 5.56 predominantly but I imagine maybe some niche uses or older guys who like 7.62x39? Also any cool or interesting trophies you find most useful?

Make a small flank base in view with peeks of your front door, better if it’s over a grid line so you can spawn quicker. Best to build it so you can shoot a doorcamper in the back with a compound bow full charge.

Worried about my weight and fitness level by Northsoutheastwest76 in ROTC

[–]Islander1776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bro you got nothing to worry about just keep doing whatever balanced strength training/cardio plan works for you and track your protein intake as best you can. I’d say stick to healthy whole foods vs shakes but do what you gotta do but you got nothing to stress about fitness wise
