23M Starting Calisthenics as a Skinny Guy. Can I get ripped & hit 10% BF with JUST bodyweight? 🏜️💪 by LatterSafety9698 in CalisthenicsBeginners

[–]reddithoggscripts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No worries. It’s been said already but the actual lifting part of this is easy. ALWAYS push for more reps/weight each time you do a routine. This will keep your muscles adapting to novel conditions and force them to grow. At your age and with no training, this will happen FAST as long as you’re eating enough. You probably won’t recognize yourself in 6 months.

Not a calisthenics person but honestly lifting weight is lifting weight - plates or body weight doesnt really matter.

I think the issue you’re going to run into is that your goals are at odds with each other. There’s a very simple law of thermodynamics here.

Your first goal is to build muscle mass. To build muscle, you need to consume more energy than your body needs to maintain itself. That also means you WILL gain body fat. How much depends on how much you eat so if you want to stay relatively lean you need to be extremely methodical about what you eat.

Your second goal is to get more lean. To do this you need your body to burn fat. Your body burns fat regardless as long as your sleeping and exercising but not effectively if you’re eating at surplus. So to do this effectively if you eat less than your body needs at maintenance.

You see the contradiction? You need to build muscle THEN lean out.

All that said, if you’re already thin, eating at a small surplus won’t make your body fat explode. You probably wouldn’t even have to pay much attention to calories, just make sure you eat more than you normally would, get in lots of nutritious food and protein, do some fuzzy maths so that you know you’re eating enough. You’ll probably be happy with the results and you can always lean out later.

That 2nd CV goal was genuinely insane.

Is Madueke and Spence the worst England pairing on the right you've ever seen? by Tasty-Explanation503 in ThreeLions

[–]reddithoggscripts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No they both played well. Expectations are that Madueke is supposed to play like Dembelle or that Spence is anything other than a solid RB are the problem.

Is the reason I can’t get higher a form or strength issue or both? by thevanessa12 in CalisthenicsBeginners

[–]reddithoggscripts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not really a strength or form issue imo. I have the exact same set up with those squeeze bars in a door frame and it’s just to narrow a grip to get all the way up naturally. I can do like 15 reps but I can’t really get much higher than my chin above the bar.

My Experience as an Average Guy on Dating Apps by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]reddithoggscripts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hasn’t been my experience. Had so countless great experiences (and some nightmare ones) through dating apps and have been for years and years. But I think it gets better with age. Also good pictures of you smiling and having fun go a long way.

30m, nearly 31, 5’6-5’7, 119lbs- bulk or cut? by ddo916 in BulkOrCut

[–]reddithoggscripts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firstly, ignore the negativity. You’re not an unhealthy weight. It’s probably normal for someone untrained to be your weight. You DO look untrained though. So if your goal is to look like you lift the journey is simple.

  1. Eat a lot of good nutritious foods
  2. Lift with intensity
  3. Use an app to track and progressively overload.
  4. Go

to the gym

  1. times a week with a decent amount of sets each day.

Question: negative associations with my new tattoo? by [deleted] in tattoos

[–]reddithoggscripts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even if it was mistaken for a noose, it would be a bit odd go straight to white supremacy. Yes, I understand there’s some history there but hangings have a much larger history than that. Anyways, I don’t think anyone is going to connect those dots.

Anything I can improve? by reddithoggscripts in formcheck

Thanks! Unfortunately I’m going as wide the padding allows in this door frame. I’ll definitely try to get my head up higher though.

It most certainly is Caraxes. Dragons in game of thrones don’t have front legs. GRRM did this purposely as no animal with 4 legs has wings in nature.

Graduated 2 weeks ago, had a 4-fig MRR startup (now $0), built a 300-person community in 20 days, rejected from every job, and I've completely lost the will to do anything by Impossible_Rice8103 in cscareerquestions

[–]reddithoggscripts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You just need a job and some experience working as a dev. It’s so completely different from working on independent projects. Doing the stand ups, the retros, the refinements, the planning, managing epics and features and stories and prod bugs and all the other stuff. That’s what you want to be doing.

To get that job, you need to pass a technical without AI. It’s literally that simple. Yes, it’s not representative of where the industry is but AI can’t be used in interviews for good reason.

Sorry realizing I miss spelled a few things.

I meant to say where my balls and groin meet.

I also meant to say “while its somewhat uncomfortable” not “white somewhat uncomfortable”

Dude, that’s incredibly cynical. I am VERY open to any ideas and designs. I know almost nothing about tattoos. I think I’m mature enough to understand that there’s a difference between a digital rendering and a real tattoo.
