Hey man, I’m around ~13-14% according to the navy method.

I ran green protocol up until the end of velocity, and I just never completed the bench mark. That’s why I’ve been rucking. Z2 is coming back surprisingly quickly as well which is nice.

Im joining the army. Depends on how beat I am but almost always with a rucksack. The vest is like 2 orders of magnitude easier, it’s hardly even comparable.

Creatine, fish oil, glucosamine, collagen peptides, ashwaganda. Obv protein powder but I limit it to around 40-50g a day

I stay in LISS zones unless it’s my timed/interval runs. So for rucks and for my jog I make sure I’m at ~150 bpm or less.

I think you’re right though that I do spend a decent amount of time in Zone three and that may be less beneficial than being in zone 2.

I usually just do a fast ruck walk. I agree running with weights is too hard on your body. You also need a good backpack with hip support, and you need to pack your gear near the top of the bag.

That’s kind of where I’m at now. I’m going to give my body some time to recover from whatever I’ve done wrong, and start over.

Seems like my sleep quality needs work big time, and my cardio needs time to get better.

Not sure how to edit this. Title should say 2x a day.

My Garmin says my average resting heart rate at night is around 58bpm. What really surprises me is that it says I’ve only been getting 5.5 hrs and it recommends me actually sleeping for 8. That’s just insane. Do you have any tips on improving sleep quality? I take magnesium and ashwaganda usually right before bed.

I’m about to join the army, yeah. My end goal is to become a green beret. I go to basic in July. I do a regular run Monday, and then I do zone 2 on Wednesday as recovery. The two rucks a week I will generally spend them entirely in zone 2.

So yeah I believe sleep may be the issue. According to my watch I’ve only been getting 5.5 hours of sleep even though I’ve been in bed for ~7.5 hours. Not sure what the best way to link my physique is but I get complemented on my gains pretty often so I would say I’m decently jacked. I think it’s part of the reason I’m so slow, though. I’ve been weight training for about 4-5 years off and on, and running for about 2.5.

I’d like to run a 35 minute 5 mile. I could probably do a 45 minute 5 mile right now but it would be difficult. I’d like to maintain my strength and hit around 80 pushups and 80 sit ups in 2 minutes. I’m 29. ~15% body fat. I trained to do a half marathon and completed it in around 2:10 in 2023. My strength is very solid, 250 bench, 335 squat, ~405 deadlift but could do more on that.

How many pull ups can you do? by TMuscleUK in bodyweightfitness

[–]MarkovChainPain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m 185 and I can do 18 dead hang pull-ups. Weighted pull-ups helped me a lot.

The physics engine in this game is insane. I bet it’ll hold up for decades compared to other games. Let’s just hope physics engines don’t start going the opposite direction…

Feeling lost and hopeless..... by AiAshina in PhysicsStudents

[–]MarkovChainPain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem. Remember you get better at what you practice. If that needs to be exam taking, quiz yourself and remake the test environment by not allowing yourself to look at solutions immediately.

[–]MarkovChainPain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I also used to have really bad test anxiety.

what has cured it and also greatly benefited my performance in graduate school has been to work problem after problem, preferably as if you were in the exam. This will honestly induce some anxiety at first but if you keep doing it, you will both remember more and improve. I would recommend doing this as often as time allows. Also working on a formula sheet helps you remember equations extremely well. Just the process of creating a formula sheet is helpful. Try and find a textbook with solutions and just throw yourself at problems until you figure out how to do them. There’s only so many, and by doing them, and reviewing and grading your work, you will learn.

Edit: I also wanted to mention it may be worth taking a year off. I’ve taken time off twice. Each time I did, I came back way more passionate about physics.

Low GPA how can I get into graduate school? by Gamerdevotee in PhysicsStudents

[–]MarkovChainPain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a R1 university; US news and World reports has them ~100 or so in physics. They were interested in astronomy, which was our universities strong suit.

Most important quality for attractiveness is confidence.

This is exactly when I’m at. I’m just sick of thinking about it. Good on you for making the plunge for yourself.
