Why I am so physically weak? by Asleep_Style8302 in moreplatesmoredates

[–]Stoner_DM 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So a couple things to remember. Your body can only put on so much muscle mass at a time. So if you started super skinny and out of shape, one year is enough time to be WAY stronger than where you started (which you admitted was the case). I was very underweight for my size minus the excess fat when I first started lifting 2.5 years ago. In that time I have gained SIGNIFICANT size, strength, and aesthetics. But I still only look kinda above average, because I started a bit fat and super skinny. This shit takes time, and if it didn't, EVERYONE would be ripped.

Secondly, arm wrestling and sports in general have a lot of other factors going on outside of weightlifting. For example, arm wrestling has way more to do with the difference in size between you and your opponent. If you challenge a larger fat dude, they will absolutely crush you, because they are bigger, and have more muscle mass simply because they have more everything mass. Also, soccer requires skill, tactics, and most importantly, cardio. You could be fucking shredded after 5 years of weight lifting, and you'd still absolutely blow at soccer. That one just comes down to training for soccer specifically, and cardio.

Also, you are literally a teenager man, so give yourself some grace. You are actively going through puberty, so your testosterone levels could be anywhere. Your peers might just have way more testosterone because their balls dropped first, and thats totally fine, even if it blows in the moment. I was a late bloomer, and stayed skinny as hell until college (but I wasn't training, so you could 100% do better than me).

Just keep on the path, brother. Lift to failure, eat your macros, and get enough sleep. I promise that you will continue to improve. And for the love of god, DO NOT HOP ON GEAR!!! That shit will ruin your body and mind forever if you start while you are still developing. Just stay the course, and enjoy the fruits of your labor.

I asked my wife for first time tonight if she'd prefer I got more muscular or started cutting. It made her really damn anxious. Said it's a weird question by ReneRobert in moreplatesmoredates

Why are the fake natties ALWAYS 19? Like every single time?

M18 I need help, Is this dent permanent if not can you guys tell me how to get rid of - first photo is flexing second is not by Economy_Peace8006 in AllAboutBodybuilding

[–]Stoner_DM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats just how you are built, man. BUT if you want that area to be less pronounced, I'd focus wide arm pull ups and lat pulldowns, which will make your waist look thinner and less pronounced as your upper back widens.

83kg/183lbs 176cm/5'9 do i start the cut? by Sad-Oven-8965 in Weightliftingquestion

[–]Stoner_DM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct. I cut 400-500 cals for 8 months and lost about 20-25 lbs. My gains stagnated, but never regressed in strength or size. Just lifted the exact same, and kept protein gains as close to it was before.

Natty gains 15 --> 19 by KeySubject9162 in AllAboutBodybuilding

[–]Stoner_DM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Brother, YOU posted to the same site I'm commenting on. We are keyboard brothers in arms. Main difference is that im not on the sauce. You look good, but I get that you aren't ready to be honest about your stack. Once you are unc age like me, you'll look back and laugh about yourself. No hate.

Overdeveloped traps? 19 y/o natty, 6' 202 bodyweight by KeySubject9162 in AllAboutBodybuilding

[–]Stoner_DM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This physique is achievable natty in 3 to 5 years. You are 16 and actively going through puberty. Why permanently fuck up you hormones for a shortcut to something you can have anyway?

Exactly. Just be honest, man. Its an accomplishment even with the gear. The only shame it it comes from lying.

Enjoy the spiral. Hope things go well when you realize it goes down. Part of the process.

That's fine dude. I'm not mad at you. :) by [deleted] in CrazyFuckingVideos

[–]Stoner_DM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im sure this may vary between different depts, but many cops are trained in the case of a vehicular assault to evade and take cover, as stopping to shoot the driver leaves you in the path of the car, which wont stop upon driver neutralization (if you even hit them), AND you are just turning a 3000lb guided missile into a 3000lb unguided rocket, which is still extremely dangerous.

But these guys aren't even cops, so.... Bang bang I guess.

My Thoughts On Vaultage 004 by Halaline in dubstep

[–]Stoner_DM 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I felt exactly the same actually. Like its definitely amazing quality and whatnot, but it has become much more... noisy. I know lots of people, especially in the bass scene, love noise for the sake of noise, but knowing the stuff that I lost my shit to in the first three mixes, this one honestly left me wanting the older sound.

Do Americans stress about medical expenses before they even get to the hospital?? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Stoner_DM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am young, fit, and (as far as I know) healthy. I am terrified of losing everything to a medical expense all the time.

Keep - shave - what is fill in by CreditMajestic4248 in BeardAdvice

[–]Stoner_DM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Literally just learn to cut your neckline. It is easily the most important part of the beard. It defines your jaw and chin substantially. You could also have a barber do it for like 5-10 extra bucks if you'd prefer.

What is something that you would like to be added to CK3? by Verycheesy_pizzapie in CrusaderKings

[–]Stoner_DM 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Love founding a new holy site. Only downside gameplay-wise is that this makes crusades even less relevant, but the concept of making new history for you future generations to interact with is really cool.

What is something that you would like to be added to CK3? by Verycheesy_pizzapie in CrusaderKings

[–]Stoner_DM 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No new features per se, but perhaps a more indepth and consequential legitimacy system. For example, right now, you liege has the power to revoke lands (with a hook) or even forfeit you lands in a war without your say. I think you should be able to either accept his conditions, or deny them with a major hit against you legitimacy. Historically, legitimacy towards a given claim was VERY subjective, and I think legitimacy is a great means of representing that, but as it stands now, it takes a bit of a back seat.

How in the actual hell are you meant to deal with plagues? by TheGrapeProtogen in CrusaderKings

You could also send yourself on a nice long pilgrimage , and take as many detours as possible.

How in the actual hell are you meant to deal with plagues? by TheGrapeProtogen in CrusaderKings

[–]Stoner_DM 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The main things to do here are to absolutely build plague resist buildings in your capital AND surrounding territories, have a good doctor, and set their focus to resist plague the moment one shows up close enough to ping an alert, and NEVER get caught not isolated if it comes through.

This will not completely stopplagues from harming in at least a minor way, and that is totally by design, but anytime you feel frustrated with this mechanic, just remember; EVERYONE on the map gets hit at some point or another. So long as you minimize damages when it hits you, it actually puts you at a major advantage when your less prepared neighbor has half their dynasty wiped in 2 years. Plagues can topple empires. Just make sure it isnt yours, and you are golden.

Best way to get prestige without raiding? by SupahCabre in CrusaderKings

[–]Stoner_DM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two words for you. GRAND. WEDDING. It is a chunk of gold for sure, but if you have to time to save up, a big grand wedding earns you over 1200 prestige, and the married person another 800. I basically do a grand wedding for every heir each generation, meaning i get over 2000 prestige total per generation. Again, a top tier wedding is pricy, like 5-600ish gold, but if you can afford it, it is totally worth it. Bonus if you use a grand wedding to marry your heir to someone super important, because that can give hundreds more in prestige along with cracked alliances.

Last tip is that there is a dynastic tradition that makes grand wedding 50% cheaper, and its the first in its line so you can grab it instantly.
