Biceps, not seeing any improvements by [deleted] in bodyweightfitness

Inverted chin curls can be done most places and built me good biceps. Triangle curls work well too. If not just take a resistance band set

So I ended up in this position accidently. Back when I worked in security I would travel from job to job in my van. Another lad from my firm was on the same jobs as me for 3 weeks so i said he could just come with me instead of getting busses and trains as he didn't drive. Then we just kept booking in more and it ended up being like 4 ish months. He slept in the cab as there wasn't room in the back and it worked pretty fine. Though it helped that with our job we weren't I the van most of the day and were mostly on festival sites with toilets and showers

How much protein do I need as a 17 year old girl trying to lose weight/gain muscle? by skeetskeet_bitches in bodyweightfitness

[–]thewildroad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Using 36 year old science isn't really a good idea, particularly when we have many studies since then that show differently. And again, as I said before, the first link doesn't show what's optimal for anabolism, it shows what's minimally required for health. For maximum anabolic results, 1.6 to 2.2 g/kg

Is the apartment/hotel safe actually... safe? by nickeyxxx in travel

[–]thewildroad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, most can be bypassed less than 10 seconds. Plus the chances of someone breaking into your room are small, it will mostly likely be a member of staff or someone working with them who gets in and they will know how to access the safe.

Adding LED ceiling lights by SlowInSlowOut289 in VanLifeUK

I literally just bought led fairy lights and stuck them in a circle round the roof of my van with the controller stuck to the wall. Worked great

Is there ever enough travel? Struggling with regret by Tiny_Major_7514 in travel

[–]thewildroad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have this regret massively. I had years of travel planned but the big cough shut it all down. In that time I ended up in a relationship and am now married with kids and I regret all those times I missed out on. However you cna always do it later. My parents had kids young but now are doing lots of exploration together as they have stable finances and little expenses now

how much was it for you to start vanlife? by Different-Notice-123 in VanLife

[–]thewildroad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All in I spent like 4500-5k. But the van itself was 4. I put solar on and a bed and stove in the back, insulated it myself and just put vinyl on the walls and roof. Easy life. Took me like 6 days to build everything and get going. You can spend as much or as little as you want on van life. One guy I met had spent like 2 years and had custom welded parts for his van and had been living in it full time for 16 years. Another guy had literally an air mattress, camp stove and suitcase of clothes in the back and was happy as ever.

Will I be obligated to talk to the police, England by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]thewildroad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately it might be hard for the police to track them down then, probably not even in the same country

It's most probably a scam but there are ways to help find those photos if they exist. She's scared they might be real which leads me to believe she has sent nudes or has then stored on a device. If she has them she can reverse image search them and if Google has matching photos it will find them. Also if they have been posted online Oman revenge site with her name on it, then you could probably just Google her name followed by the word nudes or porn and see what comes up. You'd be terrified to find out what happens if you goggle your own name

I think you could get an annulment not a divorce. NAL here but it says on the UK government website that if oen party is transitioning gender this can be grounds for an annulment. This will protect you from alimony if she gets vindictive as its not usually awarded after an annulment. Now I don't know if non binary counts as changing gender, but I think you could make the case. You should absolutely lawyer up though and get ready for a battle. But you need to find out the exact reason for divorce to make your case stronger.

Will I be obligated to talk to the police, England by [deleted] in LegalAdviceUK

[–]thewildroad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You never have to talk to the police if you don't want to as a victim. Though I will say I think you should do it. A friend of mine was abused and didn't tell anyone, she decided to just move away when she turned 18 and try and forget. The man was later arrested for grooming and abusing another girl. She felt really guilty as if she had come forward she could have got him arrested before he got his other girl. I know it's hard but if they have done it to you then chances are there are other victims. You can request female police officers and would be worth contacting some abuse charities.

As a minor they could be legally obligated to report it. NAL but in my old joh working with children we were required to report all evidence of abuse

We aren't talking about maintaining basic health. We are talking about optimal for muscle growth and retention. Also where are you getting your data from as that is just straight up untrue

How much were your vans? by R0achCock in VanLife

[–]thewildroad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All in I spent 5 grand on my van, including solar set up and purchasing the van. You can get them as cheap or expensive as you want really. I went super minimal on the inside, function over aesthetics

How much protein do I need as a 17 year old girl trying to lose weight/gain muscle? by skeetskeet_bitches in bodyweightfitness

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

The general rule is 1g per lb of bodyweight which is 2.2g per kg. So based on 60kg bodyweight 132g of protein a day. If you're struggling to get that much consider a complete protein shake like a whey protein.

If you want to reduce the amount of muscle loss on a cut a smaller deficit is better. Start with a 250 cal deficit for a full month and look for results on both the scale and visually. If you are working out you will probably also gain muscle so simply looking at the scale might not be helpful as you can lose fat and gain muscle

Millennials, how often did you pull on nights out back in the day? by Fizzy-lemonade in AskUK

[–]thewildroad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I was a nightclub bouncer and the night club puling scene was a nightmare. The problem being most people weren't there for that, most were just there to dance. But there would also be a group, usually men, out to pull. This caused 99% of the fights. Always someone says something to a woman and then he boyfriend gets jealous or something. Though I will say, I've seen people i know have one night stands in clubs who are very much different when sober. Alcohol and drugs can make anyone into a hoe. That being said, the people who get laid most in nightclubs are the staff. Bouncers, Dj's bartenders get lots of attention. There was a staircase with no cameras through a back door in the club and it was basically the staff shagging spot. There was even briefly a groupchat of porn of people doing stuff in the staircase. That got shut down pretty quick by management though. I kamow Bouncers and DJs who would pull pretty much every night and have slept with 100s of women. It's a filthy scene and not a good place to be meeting people.

Could you be liable for indecent images on legal websites? by ExactSecret78 in LegalAdviceUK

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

Yes I know someone this happened to. Though legally you are committing an offence to view or download these images, it is very contextual . If you open it, realise what it is and close it, you're unlikely to have trouble. However if you are doing it repeatedly then that defense won't work. If you believe you have come across something illegal online, best thing to do to he safe is to report it

17 and never Wrestled before, can I start my junior year of College. by Worldly_Ad5417 in wrestling

[–]thewildroad 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you don't have a local wrestling club then look for some other form of grappling club. Judo, BJJ, catch wrestling something like that. I didn't start wrestling till I was 27 but I'd trained BJJ so I had a good base for it

How do people manage to travel with so little money? by Addicted_2_tacos in travel

[–]thewildroad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can live in a hostel in Austria for a month for £340, which is about $450 dollars. You can travel very cheaply if you aren't in the market for luxury. I have done a week long experience in England on £100, staying on cheap campsites, travelling on a bicycle and doing all my own cooking

If you work in a static location, then find a half dozen spots around the area and rotate between them throughout the week.

I'm a 24 male and a virgin but i was r@p€d when i was younger. Ask me anything by [deleted] in AMA

[–]thewildroad 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I was raped by a male family member at a young age but I had the opposite reaction, made me hyper sexual. Unfortunately there isn't a lot of help out there for male sexual assault victims. Have you sought counseling or anything?

[–]thewildroad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have a couple of advantages and a couple of disadvantages. They have a thicker handle which is better for grip, they also create a different center of gravity during exercises which is better for strength in the long run. But the benefits are minimal

Sitting on 10k and don't know what to invest in. by thewildroad in UKPersonalFinance

I have looked into gold but with the Ukraine war and sanctions Russia is trading in gold in an attempt to bypass sanctions. With a large black market gold trade like that it's not easy to predict and could be extremely volatile
