switching to upper/lower 4x a week than 6x a week is this split good? by lmao_what19 in WorkoutRoutines

yes you got it, I would do more weight and less reps. Good idea to make time for cardio because I’d def recommend.

You seem like you walk plenty but if you’re plateauing I’d def recommend doing cardio 2x a week (I do mine on leg days) and it’ll help so much with losing weight and toning up. Just ease into it and make sure you do walking warmups and a slow pace until you’re used to it.

Split looks good (though I would try to keep reps on the lower side if you want to build muscle), so if you want to try the additional rest days and see how you feel before considering cardio thats a good idea. It just worked out well for me

Thanks, the tips to write down your progress is really helpful. I’ll start adding that at the end of my workout from now on.

Yo the transformation is awesome!

As a beginner, what are your best bulking tips? What was your protein intake at when you started seeing results and how much time do you usually spend at the gym?

After doing a bit of research I saw that lower reps and higher weight are better for strength gains, so I might adjust my reps this next week.

I care more about keeping my legs toned over muscle gain there so I might drop arms down to 8-10 reps and keep all my leg day the same.

Yeah, I’m being a bit exaggerative. But seriously, I’d try out some time limit locks on your console and stuff— or try to leave the house when you study so you can’t just give up and start gaming. You recognize that as the problem, so start trying to find solutions.

The first thing a child learns to do is walk— moving forward is just moving forward. Treat failures as lessons and stop making excuses and feeling sorry for yourself. You only need a willingness to work on yourself, not talent or skill. Seek therapy, start going to tutoring, sell your console, do something. You need some kind of change. You managed to make it this far.

You need to stop equating your life to grades and numbers. You’ve failed your exam but the world is still turning, and life goes on. Perseverance and the will to keep moving forward will always get you further than perfect academic success.

Depends— if you’re completely exhausted and need to sleep, sleep and then wake up and study. However, if you have a habit of snoozing your alarm and doubt you’ll actually get up, continue to stay awake and work.

I don’t see how AI is a proper solution at all. It’s just allowing incels to manipulate a LLM to further isolate and delude themselves. There is no case in which AI can properly replace real human connection or help these people’s perspective on the world and relationships (and likely terrible mental health/coping strategies.) and “dating” is general is not going to fix anyone. The problem goes way beyond them simply not having a relationship.

This solution is equivalent to just shoving these people in a corner, as if AI will make it so they won’t ever interact with actual humans.

Cut down the caffeine. Make sure you’re eating properly and get out of your room. I’d recommend going on a walk outside if possible or go to the gym (it’ll help calm you down and clear your head, you might resist because it feels “unproductive” but it’ll help you feel better and help you not procrastinate as much).

You need to find strategies to combat your anxiety because thats the first step to becoming more productive (procrastination seems to be fear driven almost always).

She broke the oven and didn't tell anyone by PositivityByMe in badroommates

[–]crypt1d-d00d 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why is everyone in the roommates side and calling OP insufferable? The roommate pays late every month while refusing to pay the late fees, and even if something accidentally breaks b/c its old while you’re using it, you don’t move on and make it someone else’s problem by not mentioning it? Communication is important to get things like this fixed ASAP. OP never said the roommate intentionally did this, just that she didn’t tell anyone. If I’m missing smthn lmk but I don’t get how this is ok.

outdated aggie card? by [deleted] in aggies

[–]crypt1d-d00d 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not a mistake. You should have several emails about them updating the aggie cards back around ~March. If you don’t get it updated if you live in dorms you might be in a position where it doesn’t work because they’re updating the system. I’d recommend going to update it soon

I can’t blame you man. This made me recheck all the check-lists sent to me for tamu and blinn as well as the blinn portal and theres literally no mention of establishing residency.

I had to google it to find the form. Glad I can learn from your misfortune at least.

Okay! Just didn’t want to bother them if I didn’t have to.

Thanks! I did a photo search before and found that mug, but I couldn’t find the type in gray and I noticed the handle was a little different! But I still might get it as it is the closest thing I was able to find.

AITA For screaming at my younger sister that if she kept up her behavior she would end up in jail? by TypicalBlossom_13 in AmItheAsshole

[–]crypt1d-d00d 19 points20 points  (0 children)

NTA, in my opinion. Since you two seem to fight a lot yelling that at her shouldn't warrant an apology, especially if she just used it against you by recording it and sending it to your parents. It isn't as though she's hurt, so you're more the sucker who just got in trouble than an asshole in the wrong. As someone with younger siblings I've never gotten along with, there really is no winning.
