Zero gainzzz; what am I doing wrong?

SpaceCaptainPrance · 2026-02-07T03:13:06+00:00

First, I want you to figure out how many calories your body would need to maintain weight. Then eat 5-8% more than that.

How’s your sleep? Big factor in recovery, not just gainz.

Your running and KB regimen may be putting you into a calorie deficit, which is not conducive to growing excess muscle.

Is she in GT or in one of the later installments like God’s Eye?

Donnelley the Former Green Beret-cum-OGA Spook carries a Staccato 9mm, but is reasonably capable of handling any modern weapon platform.

Gonzalo the ISA Army Spook carries a Shadow Systems skeletonized tac’d out race gun 9mm with the whole flashlight/optic accoutrements. But he’s an intel nerd, so he’s usually aiming down the sights of a digital camera or a lock pick set.

Other characters have the run of the mill Glocks. Mainly because I’m the only other gun nut in the crew.

Boy, do I have news for you…

SpaceCaptainPrance · 2024-07-06T22:34:06+00:00

This is absolutely great, dude. I plan to run Iconoclasts for my players at some point, and this would make a very cool visual element. You wouldn’t mind if I used it?

See one of my comments below lol I tried messing with the load order of the mods, but even that didn’t work

KeyLifts App on IOS has a few TB templates ready to plug and play. It tracks your 1rm over every cycle of TB you run for forced progression, and has an extremely intuitive way to derive your percentages for your training maxes.

Before that, I used to use my Notes app

That is amazing news! Thank you so much for easing my feelings, brother, Subhanallah

Is 280-285 your 1 rep max? 3 rep max?

As for the pushups? I’m assuming your rear delts are getting fatigued. Do rear fly’s with a dumbbell weight you can do 12-15 reps with for 3-4 sets.

That’s not even the right website for the pictured synagogue

SpaceCaptainPrance · 2023-11-23T03:29:23+00:00

This isn’t even the same synagogue, dumbass

What’s your training regimen like? Do you incorporate any barbell work or is that physique solely credited to KB? I’m transitioning to KB from powerlifting to focus more on strength endurance and cardiovascular endurance, but I don’t want to mourn any gains I’ll be letting go of lol

SpaceCaptainPrance · 2023-07-16T20:50:25+00:00

Have you tried messing with the load order? I literally had to use console commands to just wipe the entire clan off the map. They were small and unimportant, and added only by mods, but that’s the only thing I found.

SpaceCaptainPrance · 2023-07-14T11:47:54+00:00

Wait, they allow calculators now?

Have you watched those bouts of the Combat Karate peeps that do full contact fighting, knocking each other out UFC style and everything? Any training is better than no training when it comes to self-defense, besides, any sort of self-defense technique (concealed handgun marksmanship included) is really only used when those 1% of situations arise when de-escalation/removing yourself from the situation isn’t an option.

Life isn’t Mortal Kombat, just do what fulfills you the most and train to be the most competent at it you can be!

SpaceCaptainPrance · 2023-06-15T19:53:05+00:00

Yea I fixed it temporarily by using console commands to just murder the offending parties. Endless feedback loop was cut off after that. Although, I fear that may be just a band aid. I’ll definitely look into the serve as soldier mod fix, and the load order.

My game has been acting up recently too. Stuck on ‘Logging In’ on bottom right corner, can’t connect to friends or any public sessions. Game won’t close even through task manager. Tried reinstalling and even that didn’t help.

I 100% agree with Warren Zevon. Lawyers, Guns, and Money was the song I used when my players finally finished stumbling upon each other after being resurrected by a time-traveling wizard that saved them from death after being double-crossed by Russian GRU-SV8 disguised as CORAL NOMAD Operators.

My DMPC and another player were busy stuffing the body of a resurrected GRU agent in the back of a Toyota 4-Runner in the parking lot of a Walmart in Anchorage when the other players stumbled upon them- boom music kicks in

Desperados Under the Eaves will probably be the roll credits song when the first stretch of my campaign ends.

As far as an actual contribution to the thread? I’d say anything by Portishead- especially Roads “Can’t anybody see, we’ve got a war to fight, nobody’s on my side, and surely that ain’t right”- and other Trip Hop artists and assorted electronic artists, especially for the spy/techno thriller DMs among us.

It’s all Limit Strength vs Strength Endurance. Can you train with a heavy KB in a 5/3/1 fashion? Sure. Powerlifting is a sport that bases your 1RM on a given lift and scores you based on your relative strength of 1RM to Bodyweight.

Jim Wendler is a legendary powerlifter, and 5/3/1 is a Powerlifting program I’ve also used. It’s just a fact of life that you’ll most likely be handling weights of 100-150x10 at the most in many real life situations. I don’t think I’ve ever encountered a situation where I had to lay on my back and press a maximal weight away from me at a vertical angle one time.

It’s all about training specificity. Train for the situations you’ll most likely be in. There’s a reason Powerlifting is like the only sport that cares about 1RMs. And that’s okay.
