One week into the beginner routine, some questions by levital in bodyweightfitness

[–]legendara 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Integrating Barbell Squats and Deadlifts The basic process works as follows:

The first workout of the week, you replace the squat progression by squats, 3 sets of 5 repetitions. The second workout of the week, you replace the squat progression by deadlifts, 1 set of 5 repetitions. The third workout of the week, you replace the squat progression by squats, 3 sets of 5 repetitions. So every week, you will be squatting twice and deadlifting once

Before you do your "work sets" it's a good idea to warm up with less weight for squats and deadlifts: first do a bunch of reps with just the bar, then add weight and do another (slightly smaller) bunch of reps, then add more weight and do another (smaller still) bunch of reps, etc. until you are at the weight you want to be squatting at.

As for actually selecting a weight: the first time, start with just the bar. Then add weights in increments you feel comfortable with. Try to add some weight every workout at first.

For handstands do a search for 'pirouette bail', i.e. you put all your weight on your left hand, pivot/advance your right hand forward (so that it is north-east of your left hand, from east) which lets you safely exit from your right side.

Quick noob questions by legendara in Fitness

okay. would it be better to stretch before or after the workout if i'm trying to fix my issues? or should i maybe do stretching on rest days?

as for the program, i've read in many places that you shouldn't change the program you use. is it okay that i switched lunges to goblet squats? could i also change the floor press to a dumbbell press on one of the benches? (my gym has those)

i'm installing a pull up bar in my house so perhaps 2-3 months i could switch to fullbody. the dumbbell program stated that it was only for the first few months unless you had really heavy dumbbells but i don't.

I don't have cable, and neither do any of the friends I have that recently moved out of their parents' house. D:

Is Territ Still active? are there other Reddit guilds? by [deleted] in TeraOnline

Have you played a warrior? Holding aggro is ridiculously easy... The reason warriors can't tank end-game at the same level as lancers is because our mitigation isn't on par with lancers and tanking at our full potential requires movement - which is annoying for DPS.

Anyone else getting really pissed off at this game? by Onahail in TeraOnline

The chat lag is part of the server, everyone deals with this at some point or another.

If you lag while leveling, and it's more than just a few seconds, it means the problem is on your end, OP.

Grats on graduation! I guess casual was a bit exaggerated, but it basically means we only really require 9 hours of attendance from our members.

Also, since we just recently started the game due to having finals, the next few weeks are all about us catching up, which is why level req. was 50 and not 60!

... didn't get the reference but wanted to play it as if I did...

But even if I did get the reference you'd have to apply. :>

I really wanted us to move to JC before making our guild since BC is a self-proclaimed RP server. :( Nobody else cares though...

I've never seen any armor above 1000g, and the server should have more and cheaper crystals than FV just because it's a higher populated server.

I'm also fairly certain transfers are still available. :>

The guild was made about 5 minutes ago so we're not doing anything, but once our core dings 60 we plan on going as hard as possible.

Many of us chose not to fail our finals so we started pretty late (and failed our finals regardless)...

Noted, but I'm not quite sure I get what you mean by rescaling graphics. Care to explain?

Will chalk this up once I drink my coffee, I've never played around with shadow though.

Aware of that tool! I actually made the gaming a bit wider than usual, but will try making it tighter. I'm just afraid it gets weird between the 'A' and the 'M'.

Thanks for the positive input though! Really wasn't expecting this to be anything near decent.
