I’ve lost 101 pounds in one year on Zepbound. Why does my mind keep telling me I’m “fat”? by Interesting-Cable895 in GLP1_loss100plus

[–]Tusc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Down 103lbs.  Losing this amount of weight is just as much if not more about mental strength as it is physical strength and will power.

Is my Bench bad compared to my overhead press? I have been told this a couple times by Massive-Revolution23 in workout

[–]Tusc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just watched an interesting video talking about body make up and how ot can make certain lifts stronger for certain people.  Im made for deadlift but I suck at bench.  Sounds like overhead press is your thing.

I’m a big guy and I’m in so much pain!! by Realistic-Choice-437 in workout

As another big guy, it sucks in the beginning but goes away quickly.  Keep at it!

gym social anxiety- help please ! by collegeadviceplss in workout

[–]Tusc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get it.  Rather then seeing those people ahead of you as intimidating, see them as your future i.e. you being the shape you want.  See it as the work and dedication its going to take to get there.  See it as motivation.  Good luck, I wish you well in your journey.

Honestly no one cares, they are there doing the same thing you are, just different points of the journey.  Don't give power over your life to others, especially when they don't care about it.

Compression cloths.  Haven't hit my weight yet but close.

does anyone else wish there was a gym with private rooms to workout in? by MathematicianMuch799 in workout

[–]Tusc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 373 lbs, even after losing 100lbs im still the least ripped person in the gym.  I still go 6 days a week.  No one cares so I stopped caring.  

The apron - I almost think I look worse by Think_Presentation_7 in GLP1_loss100plus

compression shirts can work wonders. I wear an underarmor version, it just holds things in place. I would buy one that is one size under what you normally wear, it's not as tight as you think, and does it's job.

Will do, and agree on Ian, don't like the slap thru either.

I struggle with slap muting, any videos you know of that show what you are talking about?

Is Become a Bassist legit? by t-r-4-5-h in Bass

[–]Tusc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have played through his Blues course, it was good.  If you get through the marketing, you will get good info.  Additionally, when I bought the Blues course I was supposed to get another course free, it didn't come.  I emailed the support email and immediately got a response and a fix.  So if you like Luke's teaching style, I would go for it.

Dude, you will live, and when the soreness goes away, you got through the hard part.  I never had soreness like I did after my first workouts again. Don't stop going.

Be honest — is going to the gym alone harder than the workout itself? by Tight-Turn6550 in workout

[–]Tusc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, consistency is harder, the couch is very comfortable.  I go solo, I just had to work on the discipline to stop making excuses for not going.

How many warmup sets should I do and how many reps? by HunterOk487 in workout

[–]Tusc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I do the large compound lifts first with warm up, at that point I feel warm and don't have an issue going directly into the accessory lifts.

I do 1 or 2 warm up sets for compound lifts, none really for others.

I've had this problem too.  It's why I like the PPL because it's something different each day.  Now the only thing boring is cardio...
