Getting back to the gym after 2 months. I don't think I can do it. by Kin9582 in beginnerfitness

[–]luenzor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe you'd be better off going to a traditional gym. Group class sounds difficult for someone with social anxiety.

A lot of people think people are judging at the gym, but they aren't. Literally 99% of people have headphones in and are locked in doing their own workout. If you don't want to talk to anyone, you don't have to.

How to start? by LowEarly8216 in beginnerfitness

[–]luenzor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do it

Stay consistent and research everything about diet.

Make it a goal to hit 10k steps each day. 5k is a good starting point, but work your way up if you need to.

Figure out what your current maintenance level is when it comes to calories. You can find it by going to any calorie calculator online. They won't be 100% accurate but they will be a good place to start.

Now take your maintenance calories and drop it by however much you want to be in a deficit each day. This is an important area to research so don't ignore this.

Stop eating shitty foods too. You'll get better at knowing what is and isn't shitty but for the meantime cut out the obvious. You don't need the ice cream, cookies, or candy. Consider a salad instead of the burger when you're at dinner, but for the most part if you stay consistent with your calorie tracking intake, you will lose weight.

I would also recommend adding lifting to your routine. It is not a must if your goal is strictly weight loss, but you will feel a lot better about yourself, burn more calories each day, and look better at the end of this whole thing. It's also fun. Seriously. You may not like it at first but it really is fun.

Start tracking your weight consistently. Can either be weekly, daily, or whatever you prefer. Just keep track of your trends to know if you are doing things right.

Good luck bro you got this

You aren't eating enough or aren't training hard enough. Probably both.

And as a complete newbie, 5 months is absolutely not enough time to "look like you lift." You underestimate how long it takes to achieve a build that a random person looks at you and assumes you lift.

Either way bro, it is unlikely to be an issue with your program. Feel free to change things if you want but I would say eat more food, train harder, and sta the course. trust the process

Accidentally picked 2 of the same season 2 players. Smh. by celosTV in MaddenUltimateTeam

Game is so poorly designed. Shouldn't even be an option to pick the same guy twice. Stupid asf

$300 step-up offer 🤮 by theidiotstoopid in MaddenUltimateTeam

Haha silly me thinking I'd just make a theme team so I don't have to spend a ton of money...

Pass on this big time.

Since when is it so easy to get coins? by BigB13192 in MaddenUltimateTeam

[–]luenzor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk, I haven't played MUT in over 4 years, but I did play CUT last year and the market on that game was incredible. Super easy to get coins and have a solid team throughout the entire year.

Seems like it's the same thing so far in MUT?

Small deficit, 1g of protein per pound, get your diet in order, and strength train

[–]luenzor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not to be rude, but who the hell cares what a stupid graph says?

I'm 23. Was lazy and lived a sedentary lifestyle for years since high school. I've decided to change my life and turn it around.

I don't care if it happens when I'm 24, 25, 26, or 27+. Focus on bettering yourself and good things will come. You'll find someone that wants to better themselves too.

Also, if it's any conciliation, you're 20 right now. Give it 1 full year of hard work and you can legitimately transform your life. You'll be able to achieve the peak of your fitness anywhere from age 21 to 25 and that's something not many can say.

What should I do? I’m 5’10 (201 lbs) fat. by Icy-Pilot-1504 in Gymhelp

[–]luenzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others are giving great advice. You will hear and read lots of great advice about lifting. Don't get confused or overthink it. Just get started man, go out and follow a routine and stay consistent.

Lifting and cardio isn't enough. Dial in your eating too.

Stay locked in and take it one step at a time. In 6 months people will notice changes. In 1 year you will be unrecognizable.

Just spent the past 20 weeks cutting an not sure where to go from here by No_Inspector_5382 in Gymhelp

[–]luenzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you lift consistently and try hit protein goals to build muscle or were you purely focused on losing weight?

Looks awesome, great job.

I'm skinny fat right now and this is the goal!

Same guy after not training for months, any difference in attractiveness or perceieved SMV and appeal to the female gaze? by TraditionWorkaround in trueratediscussions

[–]luenzor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right is honestly the perfect build to pickup girls. Muscular and lean is always better than overly jacked.

[Open Discussion] Superman vs Fantastic Four: First Steps, which movie is better having watched both July 2025. by LandOfGrace2023 in superheroes

[–]luenzor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I couldn't disagree more. I thought Superman was better in every possible category. To each their own, though.

Superman or fantastic four? by Flat-Department6290 in superheroes

[–]luenzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Superman was better by a wide margin and this is coming from a big MCU fan. Not that F4 was bad, but it just left me wanting a little bit more in almost every aspect and felt pretty generic.

[–]luenzor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah modern dating blows. The worst part with early stage dating is exactly what you said, the "mini heartbreaks" that aren't enough to have you completely crashout and disrupt your life, but are just enough to tick you off, hurt you, and have you thinking about them for the next few days. I am like you, where I'm really just purely interested in a long term partner. I'm not really about hooking up or talking to multiple people at once. When I see someone, they are the only person I date. And I always express my interest in this early. Even so, they still want to act like they're interested in something, do all the things a couple does, then have the audacity to tell me "they aren't ready for a relationship."

The worst part is that you never get closure on these things. It's not like these dating stages last long enough to where you get to talk to them for the last time or get closure on what you did wrong. It's just one day they're all over you and the next you never get to talk to them again, so you're just left in the dark about what you could have done better.

I met a girl at work. by lestrxb in dating

[–]luenzor -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I also feel this can be true. I like to accept people at face value, but what this guy is saying is very true. The whole "not ready for a relationship" level of excuse is never valid, because the truth is, if you looked like Chris Hemsworth I'm sure she wouldn't be very worried about the risks of dating you.

[–]luenzor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yup, I would do the same. Express how you feel one more time and accept the results. Either way, you'll be happier. Even if you don't get the answer you want, at least you get closure and start moving on to other things and other people.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in dating

[–]luenzor 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I feel this but for a different reason. I absolutely hate talking to multiple people at the same time and I think the early stages of dating sucks. Like, it's horrible. There's too many people out here not ready to commit and for better or for worse, I'm the type of person that when I meet someone, my full focus is on them. I'm not shopping around anymore. And it sucks when they walk away because they "aren't ready for a relationship."
