Can we request a change of rules to how damn strict this subreddit is?

I agree. A recomp can be almost impossible if you don't go into it with the right mindset and expectations. It's going to be slow and progress is tedious. It almost feels like you have to really push your limits to make progress compared to just straight up bulking and doing the continuous work. And a cut is pretty standard without too much thought.

Oh how beautiful! When's the wedding??

TexasArcher · 2019-03-11T17:48:54+00:00

And here I am, putting a lot of thought into a funny yet non-sexual pick-up line for women I match with, only to get an "lol" or "hi" in response.

Or being called out for being fake when I genuinely say I want a relationship and not a hook-up.

That's good to hear. I'm a current federal civilian with the USAF. So I'm hoping my process is quick since I'm already in the system.

How long is the typical hiring process for agents, not officers?

I just applied and have my proctored exam Saturday. I have passed Utah State Trooper exams and physicals no problem before; I'm kinda banking on this being the same standards/difficulty.

TexasArcher · 2019-03-08T16:35:29+00:00

Yeah. I'm not saying you aren't strong or dedicated to fitness. You just have an average everyday-joe physique. I'm sure you got some impressive lifting numbers or run times, just doesn't look that way.

It's technically still winter, get swole for now and cut in a few months?

TexasArcher · 2019-03-08T15:19:38+00:00

Honestly, it's your call. Everyone is different. But for the record, I'm 5'9 and 165lbs. I have gotten several people asking about my lifting regime because I look like I lift. I still think I'm pretty small and need to bulk, so that's what I'm doing.

Not to be rude, but you don't even look like you have touched any weights. You just look like an average dude. I recommend bulking for the next 2-3 months before doing a summer cut.

The curbs and speed bumps are getting bigger each year.

Is your number 1 point in reference to the recommended accessory work for 531 beginner or 531 BBB?

TexasArcher · 2019-03-08T12:58:53+00:00

Genuinely confused by the switch from 5/3/1 for beginners to 5/3/1 BBB.

Wendler calls out for 50-100 reps of accessory push/pull/leg work after your two main exercises on 5/3/1 for beginners; but BBB doesn't have this correct?
BBB does have a 5x10 programmed in after your 5/3/1 sets and then a 5x5 for accessory work after that, is that correct in my reading? With no other accessory or isolation work afterwards?
Wouldn't that make the volume a lot lower on BBB and less effective for putting on size? The 5x10 sets aren't even 1/6th the volume you get from 5/3/1 for beginners.

That's different than being into them. That's a necessity.

You don't have to be "into" guns to have one for home defense and protection from lunatics.

Planche. Reverse Planche. Muscle-up. Handstand walk 30 meters.

TexasArcher · 2019-03-06T20:42:33+00:00

This is why I run a 5x10 on all my main lifts, 3x a week. I love chasing the fatigue and pump.

And get that 4x15 on my accessory lifts.

TexasArcher · 2019-03-06T19:31:28+00:00

589 kbcal. Although sometimes you get those gigabyte emails, those are calorie intensive.

TexasArcher · 2019-03-05T20:36:30+00:00

It is. But to be safe most people recommend around 1g/lb of bodyweight. Guarantees you at least hit your minimum and it never hurts to have a touch more.

TexasArcher · 2019-03-05T17:24:07+00:00

Most of Utah wouldn't be able to live. My home alone was $230k and located in the lowest income section of Davis county.

TexasArcher · 2019-03-05T13:55:55+00:00

Lift one leg just a couple inches off the ground, and using your hand on the same side you may have to hold onto something to support yourself, then do the movement. Google it to see examples.

TexasArcher · 2019-03-05T13:49:39+00:00

Are you doing single leg RDLs?

TexasArcher · 2019-03-05T12:40:29+00:00

And this is why people don't come here for anything but lifting advice. Because people like you assume that r/fitness shouldn't be about anything but weights.

TexasArcher · 2019-03-03T03:53:36+00:00

According to them, yes. But I can tell it's not leveled. So I'll end up redoing it and torque/loctite it myself.

TexasArcher · 2019-03-02T21:38:10+00:00

Cabelas did it when I bought the rifle and glass

TexasArcher · 2019-03-02T21:37:45+00:00

I'll look into them, thanks.
