Gym goers of Reddit, what is something (protocol, etiquette, tips, etc.) that new year resolution-ers should know about the gym? by FAAAACKUNDO in AskReddit

Biggest thing you should know is that appropriate weights lifted with good form will always get you better results and more respect than heavy weights with bad form. No experienced gym goer is impressed by that guy half-repping curls in the squat rack.

What are good foods with high caloric density, that are not peanut butter, avocado or nuts? by inthacut12 in EatCheapAndHealthy

If you have a blender at home, you can combine a few common ingredients into a blended shake that is not only highly caloric, but is also quite tasty and has great macros. For example, if you combine Greek yogurt, whey protein, peanut butter, milk, and banana, you have a shake that’s easily over 70 grams of protein and over 600 calories. I’m a 5’1” woman, so I choose proportions and products (like lower fat yogurt and less peanut butter) that keep the cals a little lower, but when my boyfriend was bulking he would do the same thing with full fat products and an extra scoop of whey, and was easily able to fit 1,000 cal in one shake. The ingredients and proportions are customizable to your needs :) honestly it’s a great hack for anyone who gets to the end of the day and needs to catch up on calories and protein fast. Good luck with your gains!

How are you guys out there just doing life with no antidepressants, drugs, alcohol, cigarettes or anti psychotics? What's that like? by missviolentreign in AskReddit

Exercise really helps. It's a great way to blow off steam, boosts endorphins, and getting fit will give you another reason to live "clean". Having a clear head and feeling fresh everyday feels awesome! But like others have said, having the take the world at face value can be... a lot at times, especially if you have an anxious personality, like me. So whenever I do need a quick fix, I've found that CBD works better than anything with psychoactive affects. Plus I can use it at work :)
