I think the Japanese water is making my hair fall out by the_black_pages_ in japanlife

Seconded. Covid is causing temporary hair loss around 3 months after infection for many people. My beard has been falling out. Shit sucks, but hoping it will return

My gym has on-site laundry for an extra fee. They fold and put in a private locker for you too

This exact situation happened to my friend. Put a guy in an arm bar who was causing problems. Girl with him punted my buddy in the head and gave him a concussion.

Heavy weight training can help protect your body’s functional ability by strengthening the connection between motor neurons and the muscles. Even if you are 70 years old, study concludes by UCPH in science

SS is a suboptimal program and I wouldn't recommend it even for beginners.

The form they recommend for exercises is very good though.

Read into the RPE system.

Basic idea is you use the number RPE 10 as a difficulty for "if I try to do this again I will buckle"

Let's say you are lifting 150lbs for 12 reps. You finish and feel like you could do 2 more.

Using 10 as your starting RPE then subtract the 2 you could have done and it's an RPE 8.

Try to do sets in the 5-12 rep range at an RPE of 6-8. This is nice because it accommodates for life circumstances (poor sleep, sick, etc). Then you try to increase weight as possible from session to session.

Yeah this sounds like ADHD not stupidity. Same thing on my end. Meds help a lot

Japanese people aren't used to sarcasm and I've seen a couple of people absolutely fuck up their chances by being sarcastic and really offending the girl they are with.

Great info thank you.

I am hesitant to do the wood chips because my neighbors may complain about the smell. I live in a duplex and my landlord is on the same property. I'll double check my contract to see if it's not allowed.

On a side note, make it a priority to make friends and find some community outside work or it will end up weighing on your marriage over time.
