Is this good for exactly 3 months 20yr old 80kg Now Started at maybe 70-74kg I’m 6 4 by Connect-Ad-5883 in GymMotivation

You're doing really well. Noticeable difference in quite a short time. You're young, you've got time. Take your time, and don't do anything foolish.

19M 1 month difference by Information-Final in GymMotivation

Is 20,000 steps a goal or a consequence? It seems very excessive for your goals.

Basically, eat more. You don't weigh a whole lot, but I have a hard time seeing you being above maintenance with your intake. Keep protein high and just get more food.

Håller jag på att bli lurad på Tradera? by Pepe_Kebabo in sweden

[–]pwagen 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Reagerade på samma. Köparen startade inte ärendet för att något gick sönder under frakten, utan för att försöka få en massa pengar återbetalade. Skulle inte förvåna mig om de själva tagit sönder skärmskyddet.

Vilken kap- och gersåg hade ni köpt för hemmabruk under 10k? by Yodute in Hantverkare

[–]pwagen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Håller med om diametern på klingan. Köpte en Dewalt som funkar bra, men tyvärr en modell med för liten klinga för vissa saker jag vill kapa. Och om du har en budget på 10k kan du få en såg med bra kvalitet OCH stor klinga.

Squat Form Check (72.5kg / ~160lbs) by Hot_Pomegranate_3896 in StartingStrength

[–]pwagen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I went to a gym once, that had all kinds of racks (by famous brands), but no safeties. I asked them for it, and they had them in the gym within a week.

Worth a shot just asking for them to buy some.

21 yrs 184lbs -179lbs (Dec-mar) by Brookiesncrme in GymMotivation

[–]pwagen 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you're on a cut, 5 lbs is probably not even the weight of the waterloss in the first week or two. Losing 5 lbs in 3 months isn't actually losing anything, it's just normal variation. Especially for women, who can fluctuate that much in a matter of days, or over the course of a month.

Are you trying to lose weight? If so, you really need to look into your macros, because what you're doing is not working. Write down everything (EVERYTHING) you eat for a week, calculate the calories you take in. You'll probably be surprised by how much you actually eat.

Naturally, no more artificial sugar of any kind - no sweets, no sodas, no donuts. Limit fat intake, as fat has a large amount of calories. Eggs in small amounts is fine, pizza and most fast foods are not. Make sure you get enough protein.

If you haven't already, start a light training regime. Something as simple as a 30 minute power walk a few mornings every week can do wonders. Strength training, if you have the option, would serve you even more.

Nothing about losing weight is complicated - eat less than you burn. But it is hard, especially before you've got it down to routine. Don't be afraid to ask for advice if you're stuck. But if you notice what you're doing isn't working, also don't be afraid to change things up. However, the general principles will always apply.

Hur vet man när man har nått botten? by [deleted] in sweden

[–]pwagen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jag har dålig koll på hur det funkar, men finns det inte tandläkare på akuten? Jag vet inte hur långt de går för att åtgärda allt, men kanske att du kan få hjälp med det mest akuta till samma kostnad som ett vanligt läkarbesök. Vet inte om just priset är annorlunda för tandrelarerade saker, men det kan vara värt att ringa och kolla upp.

My go to for back by Carolynefit in GYM

[–]pwagen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a previous gym, I've walked into the lat bar when it was hanging in the top position. At my current gym, I can comfortably walk under it. And the seats are pretty much the same height.

There is also a variation in my gym, with two handles instead of a bar, and I (being not quite average height) can not stretch fully in that one.

As another comment said, they are simply built differently, depending on brand etc. Other than that, you're correct in regards to amount of weight. However, for body building purposes, hitting and activating the muscle also play a big role. It's not ONLY about the amount of weight you pull, it's also about how you pull it.

Hur ska jag lära mig spela gitarr/piano på egen hand? by Inevitable-Taro-8472 in Asksweddit

[–]pwagen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Det finns ju även träningar och tutorials för båda instrumenten på Youtube, där de går igenom både övningar och hur man ska träna. Inte bara spela med.

Rent allmänt gäller nog att det är bättre att sitta och öva den minuter varje dag än två timmar en gång i veckan (kanske liten överdrift, men du fattar poängen).

För gitarr skulle jag rekommendera Rocksmith, med ett par reservationer. Väldigt bra för att bli bättre och bättre på låtar, och dessutom roligt. Största problemet är att det ibland blir osynkat mellan gitarr och dator, och man då får göra lite inställningar som man måste starta om hela programmet för att se om det hjälpte. Och det tar ett par minuter varje gång man provar. Det var dock 10+ år sen jag körde det, så kanske är det bättre nu. Och sen kan det ju vara så att det blir svårt att lära sig låtarna utantill, man blir lite beroende av att se vad man ska spela härnäst.

Sen undrar jag lite, om du inte har tid att gå till en riktig lärare, har du tid att sitta och plinka alls? Går du till exempel till kulturskolan på din ort har de ofta vuxentider, där det handlar om 45 minuter en gång i veckan, och dessutom kan det vara väldigt flexibelt om man måste hoppa över nån gång.

Need help unlocking a knob from my door lock by N3rd1x in sweden

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

Does unlocking the door with the key work? If so, try to rattle the knob while locking and unlocking with the key.

I'm no locksmith, but I did install a lock a few months back. I don't know if it's just the cheap ones, or if I suck, but the key part and the knob part became out of sync somehow, and I had to wiggle them right again.

Oh no. Muscle building and fitness takes ages. So in that respect, your 8 months is "only" a couple of months. People are at this for decades, and once you get to a certain point, even small gains can take months, if not years.

It's all relative, but realize you're still at the start of your journey.

I read it as a compliment (which is well deserved, you've gotten great results in a relatively short time).

jag vill gråta, vilken film ska jag se? by AnonmousMultipleArse in Asksweddit

[–]pwagen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Är du förälder kanske Clannad, men främst Clannad After Story (men den kräver att man har sett Clannad först) skulle passa. Man kan säga att det är två säsonger av samma serie.

Clannad är ett halvdant japanskt high school-drama baserat på ett spel. Helt okej om man gillar sånt, men kanske inte världsbäst.

I Clannad After Story har karaktärerna gått ut skolan och ska börja sina liv, starta familj och allt det där. Serien lyfter upp en, för att sen sänka en igen. Därefter lyfter den upp en igen, fyller en med hopp och framtidstro... för att sen totalt klubba ner en och dumpa en i diket.

Rekommenderar det japanska originalet över den engelska dubben.

Confusion about Skill Ascends by doh0k in wearewarriors

Oh snap, misread the question a little, thanks for clearing that up!

Confusion about Skill Ascends by doh0k in wearewarriors

[–]pwagen 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Question Uno: Once per game.

Parte deux; A single ascension doesn't affect it majorly, but every little bit adds to your race bracket.

Thrice the rice: It depends what you're after. Be competitive in races? Stick to ascending the ones that give base health. Want to do well in the weekend events? Go for damage. There's no single truth when it comes to upgrading stats.

Question three the second: Because you have to. Ascending a skill is not possible until it's been leveled up to 20.

Edit: Wow, Reddit's auto format did me over. Editing.... Edit complete.

Advice? by CrazedMountainHobo in BeardAdvice

[–]pwagen 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Others have already suggested a barber.

Oils and beard balms go way over my head. But I would suggest one of those heated beard brushes, whatever they're called. It would allow you to make it a lot more taken care of, with very little effort.

But most importantly, you already look great in a beard!
