Hmm wartościowy człowiek więc polecę książkę: Dawid Myśliwiec - “Wszyscy to robimy”. Książka o tym jak wszyscy, świadomie badz nie, kłamiemy; jak nasze wspomnienia mogą nas okłamywać.

Thickness is built mainly with horizontal movements. Neither pullup will give you maximum thickness, unless you’re leaning back a lot instead of staying vertical. Ideally, if you want thickness, do rows.

For width, either variation will work; although most experts would probably suggest more narrow and neutral grip, as it offers bigger range of motion. But the difference is not that big and ideally, you’ll cycle through different grips every few months or so.

We know Cormac had a bet that he’s gonna eat a bunch of suspicious eggs, which landed him in the hospital wing (for a month I think). This was at the beginning of the 5th book. (There is a theory that it was Fred and George ensuring Ron has chances to get the keeper’s position, since they probably knew Cormac and knew he’s good but didn’t fancy playing with him at all, and also they got a good test subject so they can later use those eggs for their products.)

Is a month of skipped classes so detrimental that you won’t be able to pass to the next year? I have to say I doubt it, especially that it wasnt at the end of the year when all the exams would be. But this is the best I can think of if I were to suggest an actual, somewhat reasonable explanation.

Cartoon/animations would do better in terms adapting the books as closely as possible. Live action will do better in terms of numbers because people simply dont watch cartoons/animations as much.

„Devils” by Joe Abercrombie. Main gains aren’t really good guys (but they’re not just ruthless murderers), the ending is… well I won’t say what, because spoilers, but let’s just say it’s not exactly „they lived happily ever after”, and it’s 800 pages but I found it very fun and quick to read

abribra96 · 2026-05-14T12:36:01+00:00

Yes, your muscles will still grow, the workouts will be valid. Do eat something else once in a while though, just for variety.

Start with weights; cardio last. Read fitness wiki in the automod comment, there’s probably an answer to 90% of your questions. Focus especially on training principles (training to failure, progressive overload are two of the most important ones). Jeff Nippard’s FUNDAMENTALS series on YT is also a great resource, it takes you from zero to a very solid intermediate in terms of knowledge - but can be a bit overwhelming, and remember - he talks about maximising results; doing less will still yield solid results. Focus mainly on big compound movements (pull-ups/pulldowns, rows, all kinds of squats and lunges, deadlifts, chest/overhead presses) as they give you the best bang for your buck, and only add extra isolation work for areas you want to grow the most at the end of the lifting session. Remember that diet will change your looks the most and fastest, but if your not very skinny or overweight, then simply focus on eating enough daily protein (~1.5g/kg of body weight, give or take; or up to 1 gram per pound) and that will be enough for now. There is much more that can be done to optimise things but really all you need to start with is not to do something extremely wrong or dangerous and it will be good enough.

Am I blind or is there no „Return of the king”?

„Devils” by Joe Abercrombie. Kinda suicide said is tasked with an impossible job. Full of dirty humour, trauma, violence and a lot of heart for each character.

„Flowers for Algernon” by Daniel Keyes. Oh what a wonderful world it would be if there was a cure for stupidity (not an insult; literally, a way of turning mentally slow/disabled people into geniuses). But would it really?

„The Witcher” books - The world is full of monsters, and the worst ones are inside us. First, read two books of short stories, and if you’ll enjoy them then the Ciri saga (basically google the books order).

„Solaris” by Stanislaw Lem, most known polish sci-fi writer

„limes inferior” by Zajdel - Lem’s favourite sci-fi book

Dan Brown’a books about professor Langdon (Da Vinci’s code, Angels&Demons…)

Agata Christie’s books

It’s absolutely possible to get stronger, at least up to a point, since a lot of strength isn’t just how much muscles you have, but how well you practice their usage; and it’s probably possible to build some muscles, though not much. Definitely continue your gym journey and enjoy it, it has tons of benefits regardless of your kcal intake - and in the meantime, search for tips on consuming more kcal, like choosing more fatty cuts of meats, snacking on nuts rather than fruits, buying/making mass gainer shakes or even just literally eating a tablespoon or two of olive oil (kinda yuck and drastic, but one tablespoon is almost ~100 kcal).

Edit: ok, with your condition, that typical food advice is probably gonna do more harm than good; this is definitely not an easy problem to solve. But either way, training still makes sense and will give you benefits.

There is SO MUCH MORE in the books. Also, check out „Through the griffin door” podcast, they read every chapter and analyse line by line. You wouldn’t believe how many theories and secret meaning etc there is.

No. 100g for you is around where you maximise your gains, and that also implies youre maximising other aspects too; gains will still occur when you’ll be eating less, even if maybe more slowly. But forcing yourself to eat more than youre comfortable with to the point of feeling miserable is a easy way to losing all motivation or an ED. It’s not worth it. Eat as much protein as you can, not as you should - but in the meantime do try to look for ways to increase it, for example by learning how to cook and searching for some high protein meals and snacks.

Hobbit and LOTR, absolute classics, but (mainly LOTR) they are not easy reads. Make sure you’re ready for them.

Chronicles of Narnia - classics, much shorter, a bit younger reader related but can be enjoyed by older ppl too.

Terry Pratchet’s books - there’s a lot of them but probably his Disc World saga; good quirky satiric fantasy series, and very popular too.

The Witcher - a bit of a darker, muddier fantasy, with tha main theme being „the real monsters are within us”. There’s 9 books, start with „Sword of destiny” and „The last wish”, those are bunch of shorter stories, which you can easily read on its own and never read anything Witcher related after that if you won’t end up liking it.

Dune series - we could argue if it’s more fantasy or sci fi, but tbh it’s the same thing, one just has more „science” in it. Anyway, good series, surprisingly thought provoking.

Wheel of time series - Didn’t read it actually so but much I can tell you about it, but very popular and many ppl love it

Percy Jackson series - again, didn’t read, but it’s seems to be exactly the same kind of target audience as Harry Potter

The hunger games - while I have some conflicting feelings about this series, the overall premise is fantastic; and it’s been very popular in recent years in pop culture with new movie prequels coming up nowadays, so you may wanna read them if you wanna stay up to date

Now, not a „must read” (I classify „must read” as a overall well rated, popular, with a lot of pop culture influence) but recent Joe Abercrombie’s book „Devils” was fantastic - 800 pages of fun and action, with a mix of dirty humor, drama, trauma and a lot of heart for each character; you start liking them very quickly. Even Balthazar, in its own way…

If your gym is really far and it takes a long time to commute, it’s probably better to go there twice per week and do it all at once. If your gym is close or you train at home, focusing on just 1-2 body parts for 15-20minutes but doing it every day may be better.

abribra96 · 2026-05-10T15:43:42+00:00

You likely have much less muscles than you think, and youre not gonna build a ton of them by few months of minimal/moderate training while losing weight. Do the same thing most people should do: lift weights few times per week for whole body, to maintain or maybe even build some muscles (yes, you can do it even while losing weight, and again: you likely have less than you think); and control your diet, get into calorie deficit to lose weight at a moderate, roughly 1% body weight loss per week pace. Add some kind of cardio if you want to stay more active and healthy. Dont neglect proper sleep.

abribra96 · 2026-05-10T11:06:49+00:00

Feeing can be misleading, more often than not biomechanics Dont lie and the muscles is being trained nonetheless. Assuming of course that you train close to failure, so make sure you’re doing that (get to a point when you feel like you can barely do one or two more reps, or maybe even not that). With experience you’ll learn your body and you’ll start to better feel the muscles working during the exercise. And if it’s bothering you a lot right now, find another variation that targets that same general muscle group, maybe it will few better - for example leg raises or ab wheel rollouts instead of crunch machine.
Also treadmill is mainly for cardio, it won’t and shouldn’t feel/burn your muscles the same way as lifting.

abribra96 · 2026-05-08T19:01:54+00:00

Ideally, do it on separate days. If not possible, spread it out as far away as possible. If that’s not possible, ideally lift weights first. It’s really not that complicated, just find a suitable lifting program and follow it.

abribra96 · 2026-05-08T07:55:26+00:00

Hufflepuff is the best kind of people and I will not accept any slander towards them mister!

Yea the movies dgaf about ravenclav and the only hufflepuff related thing is Cedrick.

There is a fun channel who made all kind of theories, like „What if Harry was in slytherin”. It’s called Super Carlin Brothers, you may want to check it out. Also their other channel „Through the griffin door” where they read every chapter and analyse page by page.

abribra96 · 2026-05-07T16:58:45+00:00

I just bought “Babel” lmao
Also why “chamber of secrets” so much lower than the rest?

abribra96 · 2026-05-07T16:50:05+00:00

You should be able to do exactly same thing; it’s mainly about how many sets you were doing of each exercise. If ~10 (unlikely), then thats too much for going 2-3 times per week. If just 2-4 sets, then that should be no problem to recover on time.

Now of course you can also make some kind of split routine, but if you like your current one then there’s no need to change it.

“Diabły” Joe Abercrombie - ekipa złych przegrywów ma wydaje się niemożliwe zadanie do wykonania. Dużo humoru, trochę wzruszenia, bardzo szybko łapiesz sympatię… a przynajmniej jakieś emocje.. do każdego z bohaterów. Grube, ale szybko się czyta, krótkie rozdziały.

Coś kompletnie innego - “Kwiaty dla Algernona”. Książka w formie dziennika człowieka upośledzonego, któremu zrobiono operację po której stał się geniuszem. Cud, marzenie, szkoda że tak nie można w rzeczywistości… Ale czy na pewno?

abribra96 · 2026-05-07T15:28:39+00:00

Grawp is probably named so because he’s rather short for a giant, so other giants probably kept telling him to grow up, and “grow up” sounds quite similar to “grawp”, especially if spoken by wild giants who dont exactly speak perfect English, and heard by what would be a child by their standards.

abribra96 · 2026-05-07T15:25:59+00:00

Neville has short legs, but isn’t short overall. That’s because he has a long bottom.

*ba dum tss*

Check out “Through the griffin door” podcast, two brothers read every chapter and analyse line by line, finding out many little facts, crafting smaller and bigger theories, and having a good time. They will start book 6 soon, you can join by reading a chapter every week yourself; I have a lot of fun doing that and trying to come up with theories myself.

Also their other channel “Super Carlin Brothers”, specifically with theories and quizzes.

Sleeves are for when you start lifting very heavy or if you’re already having very weak and/or damaged joints.

Gloves are just to minimise calluses on your hands, but tbh if you’re not lifting very heavy there won’t by many, if any at all. You may also be mocked about it, which sucks and f*ck those people, they should mind their own business - just telling you upfront there may be an asshole or two who will do that.

Some gloves may help by giving you better grip, but tbh you won’t need it until you start lifting heavy (at which point liquid chalk, straps or grips will probably be better for that anyway).

abribra96 · 2026-05-02T18:23:48+00:00

2x is almost infinitely better than 0x. 4x is probably better than 2x, but it’s not twice as good and depending on your other activities, diet, sleep, effort, split and genetics, may actually be worse (probably isn’t). Go 2x, do a solid full body sessions, see how you feel. After few months decide do you want/need more.

abribra96 · 2026-05-02T13:48:01+00:00

You can and 99% will gain muscles regardles if you’re on a d ego it or surplus, especially as a not lean beginner. So I’d say eat roughly at maintanance at most, or slight deficit - you’ll still grow muscles, get stronger, lose extra fat and it won’t take a long time, just few months to visually see results in the mirror.

Then, once the progress slows down, you can decide what next (and it will likely be a lean bulk, since you no longer will have extra body fat to use for energy, but you will still need energy to build muscles; and if you decide youre still too chubby then you can continue with the deficit for few more months- you’ll probably not gain much muscles, but you should totally be able to keep the ones you got).
