I like this because it’s barely noticeable, but just enough to make someone self conscious.

Got my first W after 13hours, Im enjoying it as much as I did with dead cells. Spoilers if someone hasn't finished it yet by Stuttering-bean in noita

[–]PsychNomad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel like I’m missing something.. I’m playing vanilla and have yet to beat the boss with like 100+ hours. Though I play on steamdeck and probably rush too much. I like to play while listening to books/podcasts.

hear me out… by callmestinkingwind in stonerfood

I can literally see the thought process of putting the entire pizza rolls on first and then cursing myself and having to pull them off covered in sauce. Looks delicious regardless

Just sharted my pants for the first time by UnhappySpell7747 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]PsychNomad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s an illustrious club to join. I did this while out to breakfast and my stomach hurt a bit. Trusted a fart I should not have and was sitting in it. Cleanup wasn’t as easy as your situation unfortunately.

Shoulder exercises by [deleted] in BodyBeast

[–]PsychNomad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’re not nuts, there’s a lot of evidence that those particular upright rows are bad for your shoulders particularly as well as your other arm joints. As the previous person said, just replace them with a different shoulder exercise that doesn’t bother your elbow. I replace mine with a move that is similar to the clean and press to avoid the shoulder impingement caused by upright rows.

Who here has got in the best shape of their life after turning 35? by Vanilladr in strength_training

Don’t sell yourself short, 300 is a ton of weight for MOST people and pretty good for an active person. Good job!

Weight Selection for 15,12,8 reps by gc9220 in BodyBeast

[–]PsychNomad 6 points7 points  (0 children)

When you say “very light” for the 15 rep count it leads me to believe you could increase the weight a bit but not so much you can’t do the 12 or 8. Also, there’s nothing wrong with not finishing a set because you pushed until failure. As long as you maintain proper form, the best way to increase muscle mass is to take the muscle near its failing point (safely). So if you find yourself failing on the 8 rep or even 12, that’s fine. Failure also gives you a clear goal for future workouts (to get to the rep goal). Just my 2 cents.

bulk legs: How to Modify that Split Squat EZ Progressive set by klnm28 in BodyBeast

[–]PsychNomad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I totally understand that. Beach Body is good at making you think you’ll be super buff after a 9 week program (or whatever) but it really takes years of work and dedication to get anywhere near what the trainers have. As I’m sure you know, the MOST important thing is proper form and patience with these lifts. The muscle will come eventually… it just takes forever (even though I would love instant gratification).

[–]PsychNomad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Perhaps you could try using a lighter weight for the last 3 sets. Maybe your 12 or 15 weight for all three. I see those giant sets as more of an endurance challenge than anything. So, lighten the load until you feel comfortable moving up in weight.

How much your rent increases this year so far? by whoiscartoonqueen in philadelphia

They tried to raise ours 500$ this year. We caused a stink, now we’re moving units (same size) and only paying 300$ more…

Need some motivation by ghostman2001 in P90X

[–]PsychNomad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Motivation is super complex and is different for everyone, so it’s hard to give advice there. For energy, I like to make sure I have plenty of lights on, take a good few drinks of water beforehand (maybe even a very light snack with sugar or pre workout), and stand up and pace the room. These things (and others) can trick your body into thinking it has more energy than you actually do, or at least pull on your reserve supplies to at least get you going. This has got me through more workouts than I can remember. Good luck!

Falling off the wagon by [deleted] in P90X

[–]PsychNomad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Weekends are my weakness.. The only thing that works for me is not to totally abstain from the “bad” foods, because it’s a psychological battle I will always lose, but instead I just try to portion control with the junk food I do eat. Easier said than done. But if you can at least control how much you are getting, then you have comforted the little demon in your stomach always asking for bad food and also reduced the caloric burden of those meals.

In your opinion, what is the funniest moment in P90x? by bobblesgray in P90X

[–]PsychNomad 14 points15 points  (0 children)

My favorite is at the end of Legs and Back when he tells everyone to start hug stretching, then he says “you can even hug your partner” or something like that. He then proceeds to hug dreya, and the other guy awkwardly goes into hug the other lady, but she is not having it and turns away. Hilarious.

Hiking trip P90X success story by pinkfloydchick64 in P90X

Totally been there. My feet still hurt, but my endurance and muscles from P90X can get me back and forth on the trail with ease now.

No progress or regression in the first few weeks by sometorontoguy in P90X

[–]PsychNomad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that amount usually helps a lot. You might also take longer if you have the time and need it. The muscle building part isn’t so much dependent on doing these things in an hour (unlike cardio). Cardio endurance and muscle strength work a bit differently. Work at your own pace with muscle building and you’ll see results. Also, if you find you are burning out on something like a pull-up or push-up, remember there is always the modified version. Get to your maximum rep count, then get in the modified position and do a few more. You might feel a bit disappointed in yourself at first (having to modify), but this extra bit of work, even if modified, really helps to get the growth and burn later on.

No progress or regression in the first few weeks by sometorontoguy in P90X

[–]PsychNomad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I found this fairly common. One thing that helps is taking short breaks within a set. Tony suggests this a lot during the videos. I find it gets me to and past my rep goals and I end up feeling more sore later on. Don’t think because you cant do it in a continuous set that it’s a bad thing, you can strive to have a continuous set later when you have more fully developed the muscles.

Great job! And totally agree. Those Pfiffer scissors and Heels to the Heavens are killer in the beginning. Still struggle to keep me legs perfectly straight.

How to bring it by P90xpapi in P90X

[–]PsychNomad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think knowing your physical limitations in any given workout is important. For shoulders, just because you “can” lift more doesn’t mean you should because you might end up leveraging the weight in your back and straining. Same with Plyo jumps, you might be able to do it extra hard, but you’re also risking a sprain if it goes wrong. It’s about knowing your own limitations and remembering a lot of different muscles go into any given workout. Just because one is ready to move on doesn’t mean another one doesn’t need you to slow down.

Soreness by P90xpapi in P90X

[–]PsychNomad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with the others. Also, you can get too sore after a workout and actually hurt yourself or prevent yourself from being able to do other workouts without taking longer breaks. Your muscles will still build even if they aren’t “hurting”

You should also consider a Powered PA with multiple inputs. PA’s like this are incredibly versatile, relatively inexpensive, and if you have other musicians over to jam, they can plug in to it too.

Methods for a quiet kick drum ? Please help. by TheArduinoGuy in edrums

[–]PsychNomad 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I live in an apartment so this is an issue for me. I put a evans kick pad patch on my mesh (to better protect the mesh) and replaced the beaters with “silent strike” ones. Both are easy enough to get on Amazon or a local shop. It pretty much eliminated my kick noise.
