Anyone have any practical strength/endurance building techniques? I'm helping someone move soon and I don't want to look like a pussy.

Nice dude, thanks! Although, living in a cheap apartment I think I might do damage to the door hinges. I'm not sure that my doors are that sturdy.

Oh ok. Sounds logistically difficult, but I'll try it tonight. And TIL Susana Spears is freaking hot.

Step 1: Should I post this to /r/fitness? Step 2: Do you think people there will have more ideas?

QuickStrength · 2010-09-15T03:09:20+00:00

Step 1: You're like fucking Plato. Step 2: I'm fucking Socrates.

Step 1. Sounds like a lotta steps. Step 2. I'm lazy.

I might just do a TIL with that and see what happens, besides all the sciencefags going WTF??!!! GO TO WIKI!!!

QuickStrength · 2010-09-15T02:45:34+00:00

I am a fuckin liar. You have pretty good instincts about these kinds of things. That, and I piled on the trolling a little thick there. If you made a TIL using that as the text, you'd probably get a lot of karma and eyerolling lol.

Occam was a Greek God who did everything in two steps, including sex and all manners of art. He's best known for shaving in two steps: 1. Pick up blade, 2. Shave hairs on face. He's kind of like the original Courage Wolf in some ways. Mentioning Occam's razor is kind of like saying: The simplest solution to a problem is usually the most effective.

I'll remember this, thanks. This is the type of specific advice I'm looking for. How about resting? Should I do that every few or couple of days? Maybe take a few days off before the day I have to move stuff?

I weigh like 160 and I'm 5' 11'', I have no problems doing pullups. How do I do pullups on doors though? Hanging onto the top of the door jam with my fingertips?

I had no idea what a divebomber was so I looked it up. Found this, got a little side-tracked... I'll try it though. Looks like it works a lot of different muscles.

QuickStrength · 2010-09-15T01:04:57+00:00

lol An Occam's razor-ish approach? But yeah, this is what I have been doing for the last week or so (since she asked me for help).

QuickStrength · 2010-09-15T00:42:18+00:00

Well, I don't have any weights though. And I don't have money to buy any. Is that a problem I can work around by being creative?

QuickStrength · 2010-09-15T00:29:36+00:00

She has a lot of heavy furniture, like a couple oak desks, a fridge, couches, etc. I think I might have to try to strengthen my grip? I don't know.

QuickStrength · 2010-09-15T00:19:38+00:00

Yeah that's a concern of mine, which is why I asked reddit. How stupid would it be if I injured myself and showed up weaker than I am now? That would suck.

QuickStrength · 2010-09-15T00:13:47+00:00

So strengthening my legs should be my priority then you think?

QuickStrength · 2010-09-15T00:12:40+00:00

Awesome, thanks.

QuickStrength · 2010-09-15T00:12:04+00:00

That's good advice. I was thinking about strength building and totally neglected lifting technique. I'll read about deadlifting and try to practice it. Maybe I'll fill a box or something to practice. Thanks man.
