I actually don't know why I like weight lifting so much, but a small reason is because i'm amazingly skinny with a crazy metabolism which causes me to never gain weight... (I've tried calorie counting and if it will fit your macros and all that stuff but overtime it kinda just... stopped lol.) My goal is to basically get bigger lol (Not the professional bodybuilding large just bigger) but yeah I find this stuff really cool and hope to learn some cool things.
Hi, Omniviolet_Bond. Welcome to the club. I apologize for the late reply, but I've been working crazy hours. I'm afraid that I don't have personal experience with bulking up, but I've mostly heard people mention that whey and creatine are their supplements of choice. I lift light weights once per week, and I focus on keeping the resistance under control during each rep by moving slowly and pausing during the motions. I got the idea from Mark (Objective), and it has really changed my life in the gym. I'm grateful to him for it.

A lot of how I keep in shape has to do with my diet (what I eat on a day to day basis). I love to listen to music while I do yoga, various music from video games especially, and when I run I listen to upbeat fast paced trance or dance mainly which makes me run faster.
Welcome, Ramen. I don't know what kind of pace you're aiming for, but it took me about six months to work up to jogging seven miles per day. I run on loose sand to reduce the impact on my joints, and it seems to increase the difficulty a little bit too. I've never done yoga in my life, but skipping rope is definitely a great exercise.
Those smoothies of yours sound really tasty, but I'm too lazy do that much work. I've gone the opposite route, and I'm now focusing on eating as little as possible. I've found that fasting frees up all kinds of time, which I use to get more sleep after my demanding job. I feel fine right now, but you have me wondering if I may be deficient in one or more nutrients. Time will tell. |
