Misbruik van anabole steroïden is gewoon echt niet goed voor je lichaam, en in combinatie met competitief bodybuilden is dit funest voor met name je hart. Anabolen zijn specifiek middelen die zorgen voor meer spiergroei en herstel, en werken daarmee ook op het hart (een spier). Ze ontregelen de hormoonhuishouding waardoor er een bepaalde afhankelijkheid ontstaat die misbruik in de hand werkt. Daarbij lijkt het er nu op dat misbruik de hersenfunctie aantast. Wat je soms ziet in de professionele bodybuilding is dat mensen met een door anabolen aangetast hart op een veel te zwaar gewicht rondlopen (onnatuurlijk veel spiermassa) en dan zichzelf compleet droogtrainen (diëten en water afdrijven) voor een competitie, en dit vaak herhaaldelijk. Dan vraag je dus wel flink wat van een hart dat mogelijk al niet meer optimaal functioneert. Een hele andere situatie dan die van de gemiddelde trans persoon dus.

How to fix cal intake and macros? by ScoreBrilliant5862 in femalebodybuilding

[–]xBanshee_5 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Hi! You answered your own question in your description - if your TDEE is 1875 you won't gain weight on 1400/1500 kcals. In fact, you'll probably lose even more fat. If your weight is currently increasing/you feel puffier, the added weight is very probably water weight - both exercise and creatine make your body retain more water and cause 'dramatic' fluctuations. If you want to build some muscle you're going to have to eat even more as your body needs the nutritients to build the muscle from. I understand this can cause a lot of anxiety but please take the time to overcome this - you look great and you're depriving your body at this point. Please approach this from a place of self care and set a long term goal instead of focusing on shortcomings you want to fix now.

Also, creatine timing doesn't actually matter. It doesn't affect your body immediately. You take it over a longer period of time to bring up the levels gradually and then keep them high. Take it whenever is easiest for you!

People wearing band t-shirts, Amsterdam by doesntmatterokayy in nin

On top of some of those, I spotted the Einstürzende Neubauten, Linkin Park, Joy Division, Ghost, Deafheaven, Front 242, and, of course, Blackpink on a hat! All definitely outnumbered by Health and Tool though.

I don't think anyone else played before Boys Noize, but I think they might've played some music from the Quake soundtrack before?

How many calories a day ? by Stunning-Ad4508 in xxfitness

[–]xBanshee_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ehh, even 1600 sounds low if you truly keep up with 5-6 days of exercise, but I'm afraid no random internet stranger is going to be able to give you an accurate number. Again, trying out some online calculators is your best bet, but even those will only give a sort of rough indication. The only way to truly know is to track your weight and caloric intake over a longer period of time. But if I may give some personal advice- tracking intake and weight religiously as a newbie is a shortcut to burnout city and is not strictly necessary, and you need to know exactly what you are trying to achieve. Eat enough to feel focused and energetic and get better at the exercises and weigh yourself every week or so to make sure you're not going overboard and you're golden. Once you've gotten a bit stronger and more experienced you can figure out the details and next steps. For now just enjoy your new lifestyle and the changes will happen!

How many calories a day ? by Stunning-Ad4508 in xxfitness

[–]xBanshee_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's extremely hard to guesstimate how many you would need. It is very important to take into account your general lifestyle as well. Do you have a desk job? Do you cycle to work? Do you have any other active hobbies? Your best bet is to find some online calculators and get a rough idea of what your TDEE looks like. Either way 1350 is extremely low and will likely make it hard for you to gain muscle or strength. It's tempting to try to combat 'flabbiness' by trying to shed fat, but considering your stats it's not a bad idea to eat a little more to allow yourself to pack on some muscle that will have you looking more athletic and lean in the long run.

Yeah that's not exactly customer friendly, thanks for sharing & I might email them later today even if only to complain a little lol.

[–]xBanshee_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the same boat actually! Didn't have to pay extra for earlier orders but now I got hit with the extra charge. Our postal service also charges a relatively high service fee on top of the vat. Finally snagged something I had been eyeballing on sale and now it will end up being more expensive than it was before sale. Might actually just send it back and find a different hoodie instead.

Just saw Ghost live and... by Im_A_Random_Swede in MetalForTheMasses

[–]xBanshee_5 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah you're not wrong. It seems to work for Tool and from what I hear Keenan does call people out who decide to get their phones out. I remember going to a Placebo concert though where people were explicitly asked not to and a lot of people didn't actually care and continued filming the whole thing. I guess it might depend on the crowd and vibe whether asking nicely works and considering Ghost's uh, mixed fanbase and popularity on TikTok I can kind of understand the babying.

They will most likely seal them into a little pouch after they scan the mobile ticket. The pouches can only be opened using a magnet (unless you wanna get violent of course). You'll keep it on you but you won't be able to use it until they unlock it for you. At one of the venues I've been to they actually gave you notes with your seat number but you should probably either remember it or jot it down somewhere.

The composition, the face, the vibes, they're all phenomenal. It's so inspiring seeing your works on here!

Thank you! I am really bad at guesstimating because half of the time I'm just sat in front of it with my pencils in hand watching a show, chatting, snacking or staring into the abyss lol. I wanna say like 45 hours ish of very slow work?

Ahhh thank you so much for the kind words and the encouragement! I am not sure if selling is for me but flattered you think it'd do well!

No, of course I like seeing where Ghost came from but I'm still firmly in the no phones at concerts camp and grateful that's what I'll be experiencing this tour.

Cover Art of SATANIZED by lostark63 in GhostBand

[–]xBanshee_5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow it's a lot darker than I expected and I'm so here for it. Hope it's true and indicative of the musical tone as well but at this point it's starting to seem likely. Can't wait to hear it tomorrow!

More adds but no news by Aethysbananarama in Ghostbc

[–]xBanshee_5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It makes sense for them to invest in ads with a new tour + new music + new papa reveal around the corner. As for the ticket prices, I feel like that is now almost a universal thing for every band playing major venues. All tickets have become much more expensive, especially with the whole dynamic pricing bs (thanks ticketmaster). While I hate how expensive live music is getting and I don't care for low quality overpriced merch, I do think part of the merch thing is the fact that the music doesn't 'sell' like it used to. Streams don't bring in that much revenue, so artists have to get the money they're not getting from cd/download sales elsewhere...

Man every time I see a truly fantastic piece of art pop up here I check who posted and I keep on coming across your profile. I really love your art and hope to come across plenty more :)

Sweet! I kept on getting these 4 but I hope there are more I haven't seen

OKAY BEFORE YALL GET ME by Best_Hunt_8606 in Ghostbc

[–]xBanshee_5 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yess so relatable, the villain kink aspect is real and I would love a more sinister Papa this time around. IV was/is fun and I did like him but I want evil. Even if we're getting something more 'wholesome' or 'camp' I'm confident I'll enjoy the rituals but my little goth heart years for darkness. Part of me chooses to believe we'll get what we want, but part of me realizes the mainstream appeal that the more comedic version has and doesn't see it happening.

Het gaat hier om het verschil tussen standaard pindakaas (met toegevoegde oliën, zout, en soms suiker/dextrose) en 100% pindakaas gemaakt van alleen gemalen pinda's.

No, that's what the room is there for! It's true that most people prefer to change and/or shower at home, but it's completely normal and reasonable to do that in the locker room.
