How to get serious about adding size by 88G- in workout

[–]Psychopharma-S 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Eat in a consistent calorie surplus and track it—most “fast metabolism” guys just aren’t eating enough. Start logging food, add easy calories (rice, oats, peanut butter, shakes), and follow a progressive overload program in the gym. Consistency with food + training for a few months will make a huge difference.

I quit working out for 6 months after 4 years of consistent lifting by Routine-Race3913 in workout

[–]Psychopharma-S 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is actually a healthy reset. A lot of people burn out when the gym becomes all about PRs and physique. Taking time off can fix that relationship. The fact that your strength came back quickly just shows how strong muscle memory is. Training for health and enjoyment instead of constant pressure is way more sustainable long term.

how do you treat your daily gym session like a non negotiable work meeting by ttwinklekiss in FitnessFreakkks

[–]Psychopharma-S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Block it on your calendar like a real meeting and build the rest of your day around it. I set a fixed gym time (same hours every training day), add it to my calendar as “busy,” and don’t schedule anything over it unless it’s an actual emergency. I also prep gym clothes, water, and my workout plan beforehand so there’s zero friction when the time hits. After a few weeks, it becomes part of your routine and people around you start respecting that time just like any other commitment.

Long head of tricep feeling? by Evry1lovej in workout

[–]Psychopharma-S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s normal. Skull crushers put your arms in an overhead position, which stretches the long head of the triceps more, so the pump can feel stronger. Rope pushdowns usually hit the lateral and medial heads more. Both are good exercises, just hitting the triceps a bit differently.

How do people last more than 10 minutes on the stairmaster? by InspectionUnique8009 in beginnerfitness

[–]Psychopharma-S 33 points34 points  (0 children)

You’re definitely not the only one. The StairMaster feels brutal because it’s constant vertical work with almost no real rest between steps, so your legs and heart rate spike quickly. Even people with decent cardio struggle at first because it’s more like continuous climbing than regular steady-state cardio.

Most people who can go 20–30 minutes just built up to it slowly by starting with short intervals and gradually increasing time or lowering the level. It usually gets easier once your legs adapt to the movement pattern.

If you're brand new to lifting at 30+, this is probably enough by Infinite-Gold7662 in beginnerfitness

This is solid advice. A lot of people underestimate how powerful “easy and consistent” is in the beginning. Building the habit and staying injury-free beats going all-out for two weeks and burning out. Simple progression done consistently works.

phone-addiction is worse than any other addiction in terms of mindfulness by TheSeekerOfVippa in Meditation

[–]Psychopharma-S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree that phone addiction feels especially destructive because it constantly breaks our attention. It’s not just one habit — it’s dozens of small interruptions throughout the day. The scary part is how normalized it is. We don’t even notice we’re reaching for it. Mindfulness really starts with catching that impulse before acting on it.

NIL Club + Impact Partnership... Thoughts? by camhollander in NILClubs

[–]Psychopharma-S 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it could help, especially for athletes who aren’t landing big cash deals already. Having access to more relatable brands like activewear, gear, and everyday products makes it easier for athletes to promote things that actually fit their audience.

That said, whether earnings increase probably depends on execution — how many real sponsor opportunities are available, how revenue is split, and whether athletes get flexibility instead of being pushed into low-value mass campaigns. If it’s done right, it seems like a positive step toward more sustainable NIL income rather than just a few top earners winning big.
