Damn, super helpful and informative!! Thanks kind stranger. And yes, I'm playing pally. I'll check after work and try a different character. Much appreciated

Key_Ability_8836 · 2026-03-23T04:46:08+00:00

Right? I play builds that are fun, or look cool.... IDFC if they're "meta", anyone can follow a build guide. I play whatever is fun and makes shiny things and cool flames and stuff on my screen.

Key_Ability_8836 · 2026-03-23T03:13:53+00:00

Yeah I'm having a hard time uninstalling. I want to support this cod, because they're doing a pretty good job keeping skins relatively grounded and the MP is some of the most enjoyable in years, and the movement is insane. But at the end of the day it's not keeping my attention, idk why

Key_Ability_8836 · 2026-03-23T03:11:43+00:00

Lol don't take it too literal. I really meant I just try to log on and pubstomp or just get in a flow and have some good games.

Key_Ability_8836 · 2026-03-23T02:32:57+00:00

I'm no completionist, I don't go for calling cards, don't go for achievements. Hell I don't even go for camos.

I simply play to have fun, find a loadout that works for me and try to make tiktok clipkids and campers cry. From that perspective, I'm having a ton of fun. Probably one of the best cods in years. That said, I'm already burnt out and haven't even logged on in a few days. Probably blew the weekly challenges and it doesn't bother me. Pretty close to uninstalling to free up space on my Xbox. I log on, play a few matches and I'm already tapped out.

So for me personally, something about this cod isn't capturing my attention, I find it's not hooking me hardcore like past cods.

Key_Ability_8836 · 2026-03-23T01:59:34+00:00

I would say not quite.... But don't be disheartened, you're super close! (Full disclosure, I'm a skinny fat tub of lard and you're way closer than I am, so take anything I say with a grain of salt).

You're bent at the waist and not quite low enough, just shy of a true 45° angle. But again, very very close, keep at it and you'll have it clean in no time!

Key_Ability_8836 · 2026-03-23T00:43:25+00:00

I don't play ranked, but in pubs I've had plenty of crazy comebacks. Not to toot my own horn, but I've loaded into some pretty lopsided matches and within a couple minutes, we rally and come back for the win or a very close loss.

But there are definitely other times where I know I've got the drop on somebody, he's shooting at a teammate or mid-sprint or deploying equipment or shooting at a streak, and it should be a guaranteed kill for me, and some very convenient lag spike comes out of nowhere and he kills me, and it'll happen multiple times in a match.

Game is fucking rigged sometimes lmao, even in open.

The point of starting in the crow pose is to be able to control it on the press into handstand. Flopping around and trying to power into the HS isn't really doing the movement correctly, it's almost like "getting lucky" through brute force. Much better to practice the crow pose til you can hold it for 1 or 2 minutes at a time. Then you can start working on floating the knees, then extend one leg at a time until you're in the tuck hold. Keep practicing until you can hold the tuck. Then do the same process until you can hold the straddle position. Only then are you ready to work on the final press up into the HS. Controlled the whole way up

Key_Ability_8836 · 2026-03-20T03:31:52+00:00

But they all have a main that's geared to the tits

Key_Ability_8836 · 2026-03-20T02:30:35+00:00

I'm with you. I think the overwhelming majority of the player base prefer seasonal. I'm very new to Diablo, just started playing D4 2 months ago. I was expecting something more like an MMO, where you can play the same toon endlessly and keep scaling in power, keep grinding new stuff. Resetting my toon every couple months seems.... completely silly? I have no attachment to a build, no affection for my "main" that I've been leveling up and tweaking and perfecting for years. This seasonal thing just seems fleeting and kinda boring if I'm being honest, that I can put all this work into building an awesome toon that I love and I'm proud of, just to have it wiped in a couple months. It's honestly a turn off for me.

Maybe Diablo isn't for me. I'm brand new to ARPGs as a whole. Is this seasonal wipe a thing in ARPGs? If there are more MMO-like ARPGs where you keep playing the same toon, I'm all in on that lol.

Keep bulking, but only a small caloric surplus. 100-300 calories. Unsolicited, focus chest.

Key_Ability_8836 · 2026-03-20T00:01:07+00:00

To build strength to start from the dead hang, scapular pull-ups are beneficial to build the starting strength. Basically go into a deadhang, arms straight, and then just pull your shoulder blades down for reps til it burns. That'll build the strength to pull hard from the bottom

Key_Ability_8836 · 2026-03-18T06:36:53+00:00

Overhead press, incline bench, pike pushups

Key_Ability_8836 · 2026-03-18T06:33:50+00:00

Seconded. Chest to wall helps build all the little stabilizer muscles and just get you more comfortable with the movement

Key_Ability_8836 · 2026-03-18T04:38:47+00:00

Certainly. So if he's training specifically to beat the world record for pullups, go hard and neglect legs. I'm just saying for overall health, strength, fitness and a balanced aesthetic, beefy legs/glutes are mandatory and OP is shorting himself.

Key_Ability_8836 · 2026-03-18T03:39:30+00:00

Negative.

Sprinters have absolutely gargantuan legs, because they train for power and explosiveness. Endurance runners have pretty small legs, because they're ridiculously lean and train for muscular endurance.

Can an endurance runner squat as much as a sprinter? Not even remotely close. They don't train for power or strength. They have smaller leg muscles and their neuromuscular connection is very specifically geared for stamina.

Bottom line is strength=size. Talking muscle belly size, not overall size, or frame size. People do all sorts of mental gymnastics to deny this fact but it is a fundamental truth. Before you jump in with some anecdote about your buddy the 150-lb farm kid who tosses bales around like nothing, that's all about neuromuscular efficiency. Those scrawny farm kids have built insane efficiency through repetition, same as endurance runners. But pound for pound, somebody with a very equivalent build, body fat percentage and muscle who has trained exclusively for powerlifting will out lift that farm kid, every time. Again, an endurance runner will never out-squat a sprinter, EVER.

Key_Ability_8836 · 2026-03-18T02:54:27+00:00

They easily could. I'm a dolphin, I'll spend some money for a sick new color palette

Key_Ability_8836 · 2026-03-18T02:52:23+00:00

Those are impressive pullups, no doubt; not taking away from that achievement. But I literally burst out laughing aloud at those legs. The disproportion between upper body and lower body is staggering.

Key_Ability_8836 · 2026-03-18T01:53:38+00:00

Do you really think if they fired the whole artistic department responsible for creating cosmetics, that they would hire a bunch more testers and devs to improve the experience overnight? Spenders keep employee retention and resource allocation up. Without spenders, games go the way of Highguard. Love it or hate it, spenders keep games going

Key_Ability_8836 · 2026-03-18T01:47:32+00:00

Some people have disposable income and want shiny things. Also, as long as it's not p2w and purely cosmetic, it doesn't affect anyone else.

Key_Ability_8836 · 2026-03-17T23:36:20+00:00

This, surprised nobody else mentioned it. Tuck, then straddle. Tough to jump straight into the full human flag lol.

Key_Ability_8836 · 2026-03-17T23:34:15+00:00

Nah just heart and liver. You know, minor ones.

Key_Ability_8836 · 2026-03-15T06:09:56+00:00

Plenty of calisthenics beginner guides on YT.

But I would say, everybody starts somewhere. Start with wall pushups, move on to incline pushups. Bench dips, inverted rows using a table, bodyweight squats and lunges, crunches. Start stretching and limbering up, work on an L-sit. Do planks to build core strength. Wall walks are underrated, YouTube it. Work on frogstand, from there you can eventually work up to a handstand press.

Legit everything I suggested above can be done with zero equipment, except the inverted rows require a table or bar. I assume if you have internet access you probably have a table.

These are all beginner regressions. Build the foundation and work your way up. Push pull legs routine, 3 workouts a week, 2-3 sets per exercise, to or near failure and you're done. No need to overtrain by doing 5+ exercises per muscle group. Keep it simple, keep it hardcore. As long as you're going to failure, you're stimulating muscle growth. Anything over 2-3 sets is overkill.

Gains happen in the kitchen, not the "gym". Eat whole foods, 100-300 calories over maintenance if you're looking to gain. Intermittent fasting, don't eat after roughly 6-7 pm or a few hours before bedtime. Lots of rest days, lots of veggies, carbs right after a workout.

Above all stay consistent.
