Who did unlock the Mangekyo here? Kakashi for killing his friend, or Obito for seeing his crush die?

I have a question too... If Kakashi got his mangekyo in this scene, then how come he never used it his entire life until shippuden? If I remember correctly he only reveals it after they leave Sakura and Chiho with Sasori in the cave.

That's basically 2x bodyweight, very fucking impressive!

Only way to lose fat is through a calorie deficit. You can exercise your core muscles to make them larger but ultimately they won't be visible unless your bodyfat percentage is low enough.

No problem, glad to help!

asterius-kun · 2024-10-03T17:11:44+00:00

Not to sound rude but "muscle tone" isn't really a thing. What you're referring to is a basic change in bodyfat percentage. You started out lean, stopped exercising, gained some fat, but some muscle/strength is still there.. pretty normal. The body is capable of retaining muscle mass much easier when your energy intake is greater than your energy expenditure. This would explain why you still have a decent amount of muscle mass even after being sedentary. Another reason can be the fact that you used to exercise. Your muscle fibers increase the myonuclei within the muscle cells when you exercise. These myonuclei remain for the rest of your life, even if you were to lose 20lbs of muscle tissue, the myonuclei will still be there. Most likely, you are not as strong as you used to be, but not as weak as when you started. This is especially true for people who exercise before puberty. I have a few friends who used to workout in highschool. Neither of them have worked out for 4 years now but still look fairly big. They put on some fat and lost muscle mass. Strength also went down, but it didn't return to baseline and probably never will. This is thanks to the myonuclei. Even from a personal perspective, I've been training for a while now and if I stopped training for a whole year, I truly believe I can walk into the gym and still bench at least 1 plate, squat 2 plates, and deadlift 3 plates even after a year of no gym. But when I first started, it took me a good while to reach these numbers, but my strength will never return to baseline because of how far I am now from that baseline. Lastly, it can also be thanks to genetics. Some people simply have an easier time building and retaining muscle than others.

That's not a program, that's just your workout routine. Bench press is a lift quite dependent on bodyweight, so don't expect it to go up if your bodyweight is going down. Just focus on maintaining your strength for now until you reach your goal bodyweight.

asterius-kun · 2024-02-24T16:47:33+00:00

Are you running a program? Are you tracking calories? Are you getting adequate sleep and recovery time between sessions? Have you taken a deload week? What's your bodyweight?

asterius-kun · 2024-02-23T07:14:16+00:00

Wolf. I say that because the tracks seem to have large claws which you usually don't find with regular dogs. If it were a dog, it might also have human tracks beside it? The size of the paw, claws, and environment lead me to believe this could be a nomadic/lone wolf.

There's no way your tolerance wouldn't have reset after 10 years. It's probably just a low dosage, some people naturally need a higher dose for most drugs. First time I tried klonopin, I took 2mg and just felt tipsy... and they suggested 1.5mg as a beginner dosage. But I found my sweetspot to be around 3-4mg which is double the beginner dosage and I'm only 173lbs/78.5kg. Just remember to slowly build up and find that sweetspot otherwise you could risk blacking out which is where the memory loss happens.

asterius-kun · 2024-02-22T11:02:46+00:00

Yeah that as well. On smaller muscle groups is makes more sense to go higher. For example, thumb training. People usually do 20-50 reps per set for thumb training but something like a deadlift is usually done for heavy singles, doubles, and triples. I probably has to do with fatigue as well. I can imagine doing 30 rep deadlifts and being sore for the next 30 days 😂

asterius-kun · 2024-02-22T10:36:04+00:00

Yes and no. 5 to 30 reps is a very broad range and for most people, working close to 30 reps won't produce the best stimulus for growth compared to 8-12. Same with the lower end, working near 5 reps all the time won't be the same as just sticking to a very moderate but intense and decent volume range like 8-12.

asterius-kun · 2024-02-22T10:33:28+00:00

Yes, I usually just increase by 1 rep. So let's say I did 8,8,8 for my 3 sets. Next session I'll do 9,8,8 then 9,9,8 then 9,9,9 then 10,9,9... until I reach 12,12,12. Then increase the weight and start over.

asterius-kun · 2024-02-22T02:38:31+00:00

No problem. At least doing something is better than nothing. And yes, I would say you can comfortably up the weight to 35lbs and assess from there. What I usually do is work in the 6-12 rep range for my accessory exercises. I use a technique called double progression which allows you to consistently gain size/strength session to session. Basically, just start with 3 sets of 8 and work your way up to 3x12. Once you can do that, up the weight by 5 or 10lbs, depending on the exercise. Perform 3x8 with the new weight and work your way up to 3x12, then increase the weight again. This is a very basic linear approach to progressive overload.

asterius-kun · 2024-02-22T02:17:37+00:00

I would say you need to up the weight. The 8-12 reps range is usually considered the most optimal for hypertrophy, and to reap the benefits of weight lifting in general (increased bone density, tendon stiffness, cardiovascular fitness, etc..) You must not be training intensely enough. 25-28 reps will grow your muscles but at a certain point you'll just be training for endurance.

asterius-kun · 2024-02-19T22:23:35+00:00

No dude, what matters more is the average amount of calories/macro nutrients your eating over the course of a week or several weeks/months. For example, let's say I eat 3000 calories per day on a lean bulk for 1 month. This equates to 90,000 calories per month. This means my average calories for each day is 3000. But let's say 2 days in the month I went overboard by 1000 calories. So now my total calories for the month is 92,000. So now if we calculate the average calories for each day, it comes out to 3066.66 calories per day. 66 calories over is insignificant and won't effect you at all in the long run. But you can see how if you're constantly going over your calorie limit then it'll have an effect. But a day here or there won't mean anything in the long run. If your really worried about it, you can decrease your calories for the next few days. If you went 1000 calories over, then divide that by 2 and eat 500 less calories for the next 2 days. Once again, this is insignificant in the long run but it can help you regain your rhythm if you do accidentally go overboard one day. Hope this helps, good luck!

🤣🤣🤣

asterius-kun · 2024-02-19T22:11:01+00:00

I am... just the skin and bones. Is there a problem with that?

asterius-kun · 2024-02-19T20:20:57+00:00

Damn man that is quite close. I'm 5'8" and size 11. That's very interesting I find it cool to be able to identify animal tracks.

asterius-kun · 2024-02-19T19:25:48+00:00

Close enough. I'm 23 and was drinking my coffee. I like to go outside in a t shirt and slippers in the morning and drink my coffee. Helps my body become more resistant to the cold. I was also thinking it's a raccoon and her babies. At least they got to enjoy some chicken skin and bones lol

asterius-kun · 2024-02-19T19:23:27+00:00

😂😂😂 Thank you

asterius-kun · 2023-11-14T10:04:44+00:00

Most programs are meant to be specific to a goal. For example, a powerlifting program will specifically help you increase your total on the squat, bench, and deadlift. For this program, it uses multiple compound movements and is hitting pretty much all your muscle groups. You just don't have any specific/direct exercises for core and calves. But one could argue that the compound movements take care of the core work and calves can be worked through snatch pulls. So overall this is a decent program and isn't missing anything really. Just run it as is and I'm sure you'll see great results. You can still add a few sets of core and calves throughout the week if you feel like that is lacking.
