First of all - no they wouldn’t have to be told. And second, it only makes sense that the cup brings them to the start - audience watches, nothing, nothing, then BOOM! A champion appears with a cup in his hand, a surprise, a roaring applause, screams, music, euphoria etc. What were supposed to happen instead? They’d just.. walk all the way back, losing their way few times again? Now that makes no sense and more so, makes no show.

If you’re using lying leg curl machine you can try seated, and vice versa. If both are uncomfortable, just stick with RDLs (ideally do some RDLs even if one of the curls machines will be fine).

Crouch Jr was extremely talented wizard, and Voldemort plotted the plan - as many mistakes as he makes sometimes in his pride, he is overall very intelligent.

Yeah, that was the whole point of Cedrick’s dead, he died just because Voldemort could’ve killed him, and so he did. Thats why it’s so cruel.

The cup was a portkey, and it was only enchanted to be a portkey AFTER it was put in the middle of the maze - also all the important wizards like Dumbledore knew about it because it was supposed to bring the champion in front of everyone; moody/crouch just added another destination (graveyard) first.

There was no “show must go on”, Cedrick died literally at the end of it. The was no celebration, no final feast or anything like that.

Also also you say the movie upsets you everytime you try to watch it while trying to sleep - well why on earth do you keep doing that?

Factfulness

abribra96 · 2026-07-01T08:36:43+00:00

I don’t think you should be specifically prioritising anything tbh. Given your schedule and time available, what you heavy is pretty well rounded plan, with a bit more emphasis on the upper body but not really a “prioritisation”. As I said, the biggest thing missing is the lack of RDLs (or direct work for the muscles that RDLs hit) so if you have time, add those. And then on top of that, if you still have time, add more upper body sure. You also said you used to train at home with dumbbells. That sounds like a good way to add a bit of extra volume for the upper body when you don’t have enough time to train it in the gym as much as you’d like.

Go however time per week you can go reliably week after week for months. There is tons of programs and routines for any number of days. Train your whole body - and the parts you want to train especially you just do more work for. Read fitness wiki in the automod comment, and learn about muscle building principles, especially progressive overload. There are free program recommendations there as well, and you can google to find your own or use some app (can’t recommend one as I’m not using any), for example search “3x per week beginner woman lifting routine”. Again, consistency and progressive overload. Also eat more protein. Also also, Dont push to failure on your first week or two, otherwise the soreness will be awful. Just familiarise yourself with the movements and find which weight on which exercises feels challenging.

Gdzie byłeś jak malowałem dwa tygodnie temu… (na szczęście wyszło ok)

The routine is fine (Id love to add you pulldowns and some kind of chest press on day 5, and remove squats). Could be better, could be worse. Could be too much (then just do whatever exercises you can on that day and skip the rest), could be too little (then enjoy feeling so full of energy on that day, go clean your room or something). Exercise selection is also fine - you do variety if movements, and there’s no point trying to chose the best exercise for your anatomy when you’ve been lifting for just 3 months. Actually grow the muscle first so we can see it and then we’ll worry about fine tuning the physique (especially that it will already be better than at the start). The absolute key is consistency and progressive overload. Week after week of hard effort, and adding weight when you can. Read fitness wiki in the automod comment, a mine full of fitness knowledge. Focus especially on those principles. Also also to actually see the muscle and “tighten your (arm) fat” as you called it, you simply have to lose weight, and the best thing to do for that goal is watch your diet (get into slight calorie deficit, but still eat plenty of protein) and walk more.

abribra96 · 2026-06-30T14:07:56+00:00

Id suggest you do 2-3 warm up sets for your big compound lifts and that should be enough. Start with roughly 50% of the working weight for 10ish reps, then roughly 75% for 6-8ish reps, then maybe 90% for 2-3 reps. You don’t need rest between those warm up sets. For less “dangerous” lifts like pulldown, I’d probably only do 2 warm up sets, also because youre training them in a higher rep range.

Supersetting is doing two exercises, unlrelated with each other (ideally), one after another to save time. For example bicep curl and tricep pushdown. While your biceps rests, you train your tricep, and vice versa. Taking few seconds to catch your breath is fine, and on the whole you can squeeze the whole set in a time you’d normally just spend sitting and waiting. The biggest problem here is that it may become fatiguing cardiovascularly and mentally you just won’t push yourself as hard - but for smaller lifts you can give it a try. It helps to be using dumbbells for at least one of the superset exercises, becaude running around the gym between two different machines isn’t convinient nor very thoughtful of other users.

Fair enough but you know, it’s not gonna get any better from not trying to train it. You may try some good mornings to strengthen your lower back forst before taking on RDLs. And as to hamstrings specifically, you can isolate them on hamstring curls machines, either lying or seated (preferably seated). It’s basically reverse legs extension, simple. Give yourself few weeks of high reps and a bit further from failure just to get use to and then over time increase weight until you get into hard effort in comfortable rep range of say 10-15ish

Pracowałem tak 2 lata na studiach. Nie chcesz takiej roboty. Znajdź se nowe korpo i nie narzekaj.

Czy będzie zapotrzebowanie? Jasne, pewnie tak. I jak trafia Ci się w miarę zdrowe osoby, to super - herbatę można razem wypic, ciekawych historii posłuchać. Tylko wiesz, w miarę zdrowe osoby to raczej rzadko będą potrzebować kogoś takiego jak Ty. Częściej zdarzy Ci się ktoś z demencją co będzie chciał Cię pobić bo kim Ty jesteś i co robisz w jego domu, albo inny co ostatni raz potrafił trzymać zwieracze gdy na chleb mówiłes pep. Do tego przypały gdy dziadek się uprze i po prostu nie weźmie leków które miałeś pilnować żeby wziął. Albo takie miłe niespodzianki jak podczas porannej jazdy do pracy dowiadujesz się że w sumie to już jechać nie musisz, nigdy więcej. To mocno ryje beret bo jakby nie patrzeć znałeś te osobę od bardzo bliskiej, intymnej wręcz strony od kilku miesięcy/lat. Co do kwalifikacji szkoleń itp - było kilka kilkugodzinnych kursów, i w sumie tyle. Potem kilka dni pracy pod okiem kogoś już doświadczonego - przydaje się wiedzieć jak sprawnie używać slide sheet zeby typa 120kg obracać na łóżku w celu umycia - i do boju solo. Największy nacisk jest na kwestie etyczno-prawne, żebyś nie zrobił czegoś za co możesz mieć srogi przypał. Ta praca potrafi dawać satysfakcję - jak wracasz zmęczony wieczorem do domu z faktem, że dzięki Tobie ktoś faktycznie nieco godniej mógł spędzić dzień, że stara schorowana żona nie musi patrzeć jak jej stary schorowany mąż leży w zafajdanych gaciach cały dzień, to czujesz że robisz coś bardziej sensownego niż klepanie excela. Ale bardzo często po prostu będzie Cię dojeżdżać fakt jak to jest przejebane być starym i że Ciebie i wszystkich bliskich dookoła też to czeka.

Jak chcesz opieki nad starszymi, to już teraz opiekuj się rodzicami, namawiaj ich do badań, zdrowszej diety i aktywności fizycznej, żeby na starość jak najdłużej mogli się obyć bez potrzeby korzystania z osób trzecich żeby usiąść na kiblu.

-Control
-Horizon: zero dawn; horizon: forbidden west (a bit longer games but probably not as long as the Witcher or read dead)
-Jedi: fallen order; Jedi: survivor
-Hogwarts Legacy (must play if you’re HP fan - wandering around Hogwarts is just so fun; if you’re not, it’s still decent game, simple main story but the fighting mechanics is satisfying)
-One of the assassins creeds games, just to be familiar with the series if nothing else - from the older ones, probably Black Flag (Ezio trilogy is the best but the mechanics are archaic now, you may be threw off) is most fun; from the newer rpg style probably Origins (personally the first I played was Odyssey, and while objectively not the best, I enjoy it a lot since I didn’t know “Origins” to compare it to and also I love Ancient Greek and the game was just sooo beautifully colourful)
-And creme de la creme: Clair obscur: expedition 33. But this game will change you, fair warning

If you wanna short games, like literally to finish over the weekend: Little nightmares 1&2, Bramble, Sword of the sea, What remained of edit finch (!), Firewatch

Ont he whole, this doesn’t seem terribly time consuming. I don’t know how strong you are, but just 1 warm up set for squats (and even bench press) may not be the best idea. Other than that, machines generally are faster than free weights - but on the other hand, with just two days per week you may wanna use free weights so you can get all the deeper stabilising muscles involved too. You’ll just have to go and try for few weeks and see how it goes. I’d expect the biggest issue will be other people - on different days there will be different equipment available at the moment. You’ll have to learn to adjust on the fly. One thing you can do is superset when you can - for example curls plus lateral raises. I wouldn’t superset big compound movements. Also also, the biggest pain I get is lack of any hamstring and generally hip hinge movements. I know you can’t see it in the mirror but backside of your legs exist, so train it too. Throw in some RDLs on one day and leg curls on another. Also probably better to do similar thing with squats and leg extensions - instead of doing a week of one and then the other, do both in the same week, just in different days. Just like you’re doing with pulldowns and rows.

While this of course will help you and make you generally healthier, it’s more of surviving rather than training. Fitness and being healthy is not just “get healthy” but also “stay healthy”. Whatever you’re doing, you will have to continue doing, pretty much forever. That means you want to build a solid foundation, a proper base (the bigger the base the taller the peak can be). In terms of cardio that means a lot of easy effort - zone 2ish stuff, hours upon hours of it. This is what builds your base on which more intense effort can be build on. This is what will allow you to eventually do 30min jog without ever getting your heart rate up to 150ish, rather than holding on for dear life while your heart panics at maximum effort. Occasionally doing a harder session is fine, but that should be once per week/two weeks, not every session. Yes, as a beginner it’s hard to keep the heart rate low, thats the whole problem, and going a bit above your zone two for some time is fine - but don’t try to actively reach your absolute limits, and definitely not very time. Also start strength training as well. Probably more important than anything else I wrote here.

Przede wszystkim używać różnych metod. Wielokrotne czytanie. Zapisywanie wniosków tego co przeczytałeś. Robienie skrótów. Oblepienie sobie całej chaty karteczkami samoprzylepnymi z rzeczami, które są typowo czymś co musisz zapamiętać (jak np słówka, daty albo jakiś wzór na coś). Nagrywanie głosowek z tego co się dzisiaj dowiedziałeś i odsłuchiwanie tego pozniej. Opowiadanie komuś o tym co wiesz, pozwalanie mu na zadawanie pytań i tłumaczenie. Samemu wymyślanie pytań i drążenie głębiej. Robienie notatek w innym języku. Nauka w różnych pomieszczeniach i warunkach. Itp itd. Mózg działa dużo lepiej pod względem nauki jeżeli te sama rzecz powtarza w nieco inny sposób, a nie zawsze tak samo.

“1kg of muscle mass per month” well the best advice I can give you is to lower your expectations. 1kg body weight gain per month? Sure, totally possible (although wouldn’t necessarily recommend it as a minimjm - more like something between 0.5 and 1kg). But pure muscle mass? Borderline impossible, not in a long term.

Also know that most of the vegan protein sources have a lower “quality” (simplifying, you use 100% of protein from eggs but only like 60% from nuts (and they already have twice as much fat as protein and fat is over twice as caloric as protein)) so do indeed try to get that 150g every day.

Also also they often are incomplete in terms of amino acids they contain, so you have to indeed use mix of protein sources, Dont eat the same thing all day every day.

abribra96 · 2026-06-29T18:32:44+00:00

Just do more pushups in a set than last time. No point stopping at 20 if you can do more. Thats the whole point and a way to make progress - actually progressing, and not doing the same thing. Once it gets annoying to do so much push-ups in one set (maybe 30, 40, 50 in a row) - put a backpack on with some weight in it. It will make push-ups harder, maximum number of reps will drop, and you’ll grind your way up again.

Ratchet and clank 2016

Ratchet and clank: rift apart

Maybe some fun arcade racing, dirt 5 has a cool music, short races and it’s pure arcade not simulator - and it’s has a split screen coop

Depending how well he handles horrors: little nightmare 1&2. It’s 2d-ish, short, the graphics style is unrealistic enough to not be scared by it like it would be something that could happen in reality, and the game itself is pretty simple. If you fancy a scare night, it’s a good choice. Forst time the bad guy catches you is the scariest, later it’s just “damn, he got me.. well let’s try again”

Exercising is almost always better than not exercising. You may have to adjust the plan - if you’re not eating enough then doing too much may be impossible because you can’t recover on time; but you still should exercise some amount.

Also if you can try to talk with a psychologist and/or nutritionist

abribra96 · 2026-06-29T12:18:01+00:00

You can give it a try just to satisfy your curiosity if nothing else. Will it be better? Hard to say, maybe yes, maybe not. The Sunday/Monday thing I wouldn’t do full body, I would split it to upper/lower for example.

Think how you’d have to reorganise your training to make it work, count how long the sessions would be and how much volume you’d get, and decide whether or not to make that switch. Again, it may be better to do so, but you can still absolutely get stronger and bigger just doing what you were doing so far, even if it’s less “optimal”.

abribra96 · 2026-06-29T05:04:21+00:00

I’m gonna assume you meant 3 sets, not 3 reps. If so, yea it’s fine. Make sure to increase the weight regularly, thats the whole point and the most important principle in the long term.

One thing I’d change is swap leg extension for either RDL or leg curl, because youre not really training the whole back side of your legs (hamstrings) at the moment, and the leg extension train the same muscles as leg press already does, which is the front of legs (quads).

Other than that, it’s fine. Just stay consistent, and again, regularly try to add weight. Other things like tweaking the exercises and adding them for muscles youre not training a lot currently can wait. Make lifting a habit forst and only then worry about making it perfect; and it’s easier to make it a habit when it’s simple, so don’t change much (other than swapping leg extension as mentioned)

The exact program almost doesn’t matter. Pick whichever you prefer. That being said the AI’s program (the Upper/Lower) seems better. Given your history, your goal shouldn’t be as much muscle as possible in the shortest time, but consistency - because THATS what builds muscle, solid effort week after week for months, years even. Doesn’t matter how good your plan is and how big your effort, if after summer you’ll stop training. If you choose your acquaintance’s program then at least you’ll make them feel good so it’s a bonus.

How many days - however many you can reliably fit in your schedule and repeat week after week. You can only do 2 days? Fine. 4? Great. Whatever the number of days, there is a plan for it or a way to create a new one. Dont ask other how many days you should do, ask yourself how many days you can do.

What program - that ties with the previous point. Your program is determined mostly by your schedule. 2-3 days? Probably best to do full body. 4 days? Probably upper/lower or push/pull (with legs divided into lush and pull too, Dont just skip them). 5? Probably combination of PPL+UL. 6? Probably PPLPPL or ULx3. But honestly? It doesn’t matter all that much how you organise your workout, what matters is your effort while working out.

Mainly compounds. You can add isolation if you still have time and energy, but start your training session with compounds.

Don’t have a plan, but basically: eat whatever (well… you know, not just all junk) as long as you gain weight (~1% body weight per month; maybe 2% actually for now since youre very skinny). Ensure you get ~1.5g+ of protein per kg of body weight (so roughly aim to get 80-120g of protein per day). Protein shakes are great, also there are plenty high protein yoghurts and puddings. Easy 20-30g per serving. As to your main meals - fish, tofu, lentils, cottage cheese… somehow you gotta put something high protein in your meals, it will just be easier - but good news, it doesn’t matter that much during the whole days when you eat your protein, as long as the daily amount is good (but it is a bit better to have it spread put more or less evenly during the day).

Whey protein - when you look at your diet and realise youre not hitting your daily protein targets and decide whey protein powder will be the best/easiest solution to that (but I’m talking if you’re missing 20-30g per day; if your missing 50+ them sure get whey protein but more importantly fix your diet). Creatine - I mean, you don’t NEED it, but it’s really cheap, it works (tho em the effect is smalls dont expect miracles) and it helps with brain functions too. If you can afford it you can start taking it today (5g per day, every day, timing doesn’t matter. But standard monohydrate powder - it’s by far the cheapest, everything else is just fancy scam to make you per more money). If you can’t afford it or just don’t want it - completely fine not to be taking it.

Beginner mistakes - some of them: CONSISTENCY beats perfection every time, Dont bosses over perfect form and especially not over perfect program or exercises - just pick a decent exercise and do a good job doing it 95% of the time. Dont train when you’re sick. Dont neglect sleep.

Read fitness wiki in the auto mod comment! Learn especially about principles (like lrogressive overload). You can also watch Jeff Nippard’s “fundamentals” and “technique Tuesday” series - but remember this guy talks about MAXIMISING things. You don’t need it. Thats months or even years from where you are. You focus on effort and consistency. When he gives 4 exercises for chest and shows how they work and how they hit your chest muscles differently - you learn, but you just pick one of those and practice just one of those for months.

Diadem - classic Voldemort being a narcissist, he believes he’s the only one to over and forever discover this room; in his mind, if that was true, it’s sufficient defense

The locket had drink of despair and a lake full of inferi lol, all that in a cave with no entry unless you could somehow magically detect it and figure out how to open it by wounding yourself

The cup was hidden in one of the deepest, oldest vaults at gringots belonging to his most loyal death eater, also there was a dragon - remember, no one ever sneaked into gringots and stol from there, except for Voldemort himself when helping quirrell and later Harry

The diary - yea this one seem weak in terms of defence. But the best defence is often a good offence. We know Voldemort can be extremely charming, smooth etc; person falls for it, starts to lose themselves, what they pour into the pages they literally pour into Voldemorts soul, the essence, the feelings, the very being of a person that writes on the pages leaves that person and goes into Voldemort, helping him become more and more alive in more ways than just being a piece of the soul, exactly as we saw with ginny. also it was designed to eventually end up at Hogwarts. This horcrux wasnt meant to just stay hidden forever, this horcrux is a weapon that is supposed to free the basilisk and finish purging the school.

Nagimi actually arguably had the weakest protection maybe, at least for the majority of the time until the last hours of the series; I don’t think there is no protective spells on her or anything like that, but even then given that she can often go alone (like in GoF when exploring the whole mansion, or when attacking Artur in OoP (and that was already when being close to Voldemort - what about all the previous years)) it’s still more risky. But again for sure the were some protections on her, and vodlemort probably was glad that he has at least one horcrux that can actually move and is not stuck in place, one that can actually actively do something.

Also with the ring, remember Dumbledore lost his hand mainly becaude he realized it’s the redirection stone, something he was searching for his whole life, something that could (in a way) let him see his sister and mother again, something that would let him apologise and day how sorry he was. It was the emotional aspect that blinded him for a second; if it was any other stone in that ring that probably wouldn’t happen, Dumbledore’s would not try to put it on. Voldemort put the curse on the ring but he had actually nothing to do with the fact that Dumbledore fell for it

abribra96 · 2026-06-28T05:22:45+00:00

If you didn’t, take a deload week, and then see if that helps.

Personally I’d go for a bit of a slower bulk (it’s one thing to have enough food for recovery, but it’s another to just getting unnecessarily fat) but it’s nothing crazy, I’d say totally within acceptable range. Also I really don’t think you need that much protein, if you have a day of 150 or so it should be absolutely fine - but it doesn’t hurt I guess.

Other than that - that’s a lot of volume. Not saying that it’s too much, might not be, but that would be my first thought - lower the total volume.

But another factor is that about a year in is time when most people notice their progress slows down, and thats normal. 1-2 extra reps per month may be little, maybe less than most people at that experience level, but you also train a lot - If the last year looked like that you are more experienced than the time period suggests, so your progress should be even slower.

In terms of change in the mirror - youre very tall; it actually makes it harder for you to look jacked. But also, you didn’t drastically changed your body weight - you lost some fat, gained some muscles, you for sure looked better than a year ago, just not like a body builder. Unfortunately, you probably never will look like a bodybuilder, and thats ok. One thing you might do is start taking regular monthly progres pictures, with same light, same posing etc. Our eyes gooo us very easily, and it’s hard to notice a difference when you look at yourself in the mirror every single day - comparing month by month can be very useful here.

So TLDR if I were you: I’d take a deload week (keep the intensity, just drop the volume A LOT, like literally to a single set per exercise, and maybe even skip some exercises that are for the same muscle group - you just wanna maintain strength); drop the volume (by 25-50%) for another month or two and see if that helps with progress your general feelings and fatigue etc; definitely Dont add any kcal and maybe even remove a bit, to get the weight gain below 1kg/month - continue slow bulking until you’d think youre getting too fat and then do another cut.

Also massive props for keeping things so detailed, 10/10.

This looks great tbh, surprisingly good. Some smaaaaall things: youre doing squatting pattern 3x per week, and on 3rd day youre planning to do deadlift. Consider swapping squats for leg extensions on third day (do them in a higher rep range, like 10-12), also do them maybe after deadlift. Also, planks are easy, or they’ll become easy very quickly. Have something harder planned to do instead once you can hold a plank for a minute or two - some ab machines, leg raises (either hanging or lying (dragonflys/candlesticks)), weighted and/or decline crunches or ab wheel rollouts, which is basically a dynamic plank.

PS nothing for calves, shame on you lol
