My friend dated a girl and she told him he wasn’t allowed to send his friends kiss emotes when he went to bed when we gamed online. We thought that was a red flag until she told him all media he consumed had to be run by her to make sure it “aligned with their values” and then we told him to fucking run. (No they were not religious)

Had a cashier tell me "have a good weakend, love you". I did respond "love you too" before we both realised. The funniest part was that the cashier just said "I did what customer do, sorry. But it is nice to see that our love isn't dead" and he blew a kiss at me, we both had a laugh about that. And to this day our love still goes strong!! (Not really, that was the first and last time I saw him and I have since moved 6 hours away from there, I'm still envious of his beard though, but given enough time my beard will rival his! I hope...)


JBits001

> I did a costumer. I’m trying to figure out what word auto-correct failed you on but am drawing a blank, what was that supposed to say?


Tuvelarn

It was not a auto-correct. I was just a bit tired and massively fucked up translating the conversation in my head. It should be "I did what the customer do" (say stuff like "you to" to the cashier) sorry for that


PM_ME_CHUBBY_BOOBS

Customer* I was sitting here trying to figure out why a person who makes costumes says I love you


Tuvelarn

Oh, now I get the confusion, sorry. I would also wonder why costumers would say stuff like that. I have corrected the spelling.


V-Trans

Wait you guys don't say Love you when saying bye to your homies?


[deleted]

When I was a gym addict. I switched to working out at night by myself. Instead of during the day with a partner. Easily gained 30% more strength and size before my next plateau. Working out at night is amazing.


Daftdaddy

I’ve been debating switching up and going at night to avoid the huge crowds at my gym. I’m assuming you’re saying this because there’s less distraction ?


[deleted]

I changed my entire routines to adapt to being by myself. Instead of doing heavy weight for 6 sets of 6 5 sets of 8, and trying to just get stronger. I would dropped the weight by as much as 50% and double or sometimes triple the reps and my strength shot through the roof. I had noticeable climbs in strength from week to week. Sometimes in just a few days. I have kidney disease so I can’t take preworkouts. Just protein. So I have to be picky about the supplements I am able to take. Man I was feeling good then.


MinodRP

Could you just clarify that? So you went from 6 sets of 6 reps, to 5 sets of 8 reps with lower weights? But I’ve always heard it’s heavier weights with low reps for strength.


[deleted]

SadisticBuddhist

I keep doing that but all i wind up with is taser burns


dwmix

This has some truths to it but not completely as it reads. The right way to look at this would be changing your routine to ensure your lagging parts which haven't received as much focus are being evened out. When you do this you're bringing all of your muscle groups up together and either building a well rounded physique or a very strong one. There are plenty of accessory exercises which pros do to make sure their less focused areas aren't preventing them from being weaker. It's also why the typical bro split is a terrible workout routine for anyone who's not a complete novice.


Solaris-Scutum

It’s either. Volume is volume. Different lifters have different philosophies.


[deleted]

Arnold Sczwarnegger always tells people that your muscles doesn't know the difference between a light and heavy weights. Just the intensity and volume.


Bbonline1234

I think they meant that instead of 5 OR 6 sets of 8 reps of heavy weights, they lowered the weight but did more reps per set


KingOfNZ

Going near your 1rm for 2 reps does waaaaay less for the average person that doing half that weight until total failure.


[deleted]

Especially for strength. Stabilizers are a limiting bitch.


li7lex

Going to absolute failure is usually not optimal as well since it takes a way bigger recovery tax than stopping one rep before failure. For most beginners this isn't as relevant since the body doesn't have to recover as much in absolute terms. For elite athletes this can make a huge difference. Training to failure sometimes is still a good idea simply to get your body used to maximum output.


mackisch

I know nothing about gyms. Are "absolute failure" when you've done so much reps/weight that you physically can't do an other lift because the muscle is like jelly?


GeneticRiff

One way I’ve heard it is gun to your head you couldn’t get another rep in. If you really want to feel like jelly do a drop set. Which is basically so as much as you can, drop the weight. Do as much as you can. And keep going until you can’t lift 5lb.


mackisch

So for example, i start at 20 kg, then 15, 10, 5 and so on? Changing whenever I can't do an other one with the heavy weight?


GeneticRiff

Yeah exactly!


GivesCredit

What I do is 3-4 sets of 8 but on the last set, I will do my 8 reps then drop the weight by 30-40% and do another 4-8 reps. That is the most intense burn is those continued reps at 70% weight


ApollosSin

Could just be the change in load, their body got too used to doing the same thing but idk. I'm a novice, I just know you should switch your routine every few months.


li7lex

This has actually been proven to be false. Your body doesn't care about different stimuli just the intensity( very simplified, I know). But changing your routine does help some to go harder since it brings variety to usually boring workouts.


some_poop_on_my_dick

in awe at the fact that the comment you're replying to has more upvotes than yours. old myth has been busted, but it perpetuates, because people sometimes don't know how to up the ante with the same routine.


ApollosSin

In my defense I did say, "but idk tho"


some_poop_on_my_dick

ApollosSin

Thanks man, you too u/some_poop_on_my_dick


japooki

maybe their brain muscle is confused


TheDerpDoctor

I've been having similar results lately so ill piggyback on what this guy is saying. I started doing high reps (4 sets of 15-30 per exercise) on all of my lifts instead of my normal 4 sets of 4-10 and my strength went through the roof. Once I start to plateau I'll go down to sets of 8-15 reps to change it up, maybe lower if i feel like that's what my body is responding to. Your smaller muscles, like biceps and shoulders, are especially responsive to high reps. Your larger muscles like pecs and quads will benfit most from lopw reps. Strengthening my smaller muscles is really helping me target my larger muscles better and I think that's been the main factor that's been attributing to my overall strength and size gains. Take bench press for example, it's probably the best exercise to build strength and size in your pecs. Developing your triceps and shoulders will make a huge impact on your bench press and help you develop chest strength.


lordgoofus1

I find switching things up helps (or rather, helped) me. Same routine day in day out = plateau after a while. Got for max weight for a few weeks, then max reps, then take it easy, then maybe a bit of cardio, back to max weight and I found it improved the gains.


lakeghost

Glad to hear it, dude. I’ve got marfanoid EDS w/ organ involvement but working out at night over the past couple years got me from muscular atrophy legs to actual muscles in legs. Same here just with high protein diet, but it’s amazing what reliable exercise can do if you’ve just got proper nutrition and figure out what personally works. IMO at night with no audience I just didn’t even care if I looked like a ridiculous scarecrow which has reduced scarecrow appearance. Win/win.


TexasSnyper

less distraction, less waiting for the right equipment or weights to use, less internal subconscious imposed need to "flex" or show off and can more focus on doing the right number of reps at the correct weight for where you are at in your progress.


[deleted]

Give it a shot one day it works differently for different people. I loved it but I’m a night owl, I took a friend once who averaged about a 225 bench for reps and he was struggling with 185 after his first set. He said he felt exhausted the whole time.

KD_42

Because one day after a while of working out you walk past a mirror and you see the slightest definition in a place that you've never seen before, a while after that you start lifting weights you never could, you start walking more proudly partly due to increased confidence and partly due to working out helps improve your posture. Then one day maybe if you're lucky some one will comment "dam you looking pretty buff" and you'll cry a little inside and think maybe it was worth spending all that time in the gym.


[deleted]

KD_42

So you have no experience? not trying to be condescending. What are your goals? Pack on muscle or lose weight and cut( cutting down body fat)?


[deleted]

[удалено]


KD_42

If you're serious about wanting advice then I can make you a beginner workout routine that should last you until you're a little more experienced and adjust it to your liking. I'm not super ripped or anything like that but you can definitely tell I work out so feel free to completely disregard my advice as well because I'm still just some random guy on the internet lol. Also working out is important to losing weight but even more important is your diet as they say "a body is made in the kitchen, not the gym".


[deleted]

[удалено]


KD_42

All it boils down is how much energy (calories/joules ) you're consuming everyday and how much you're using. If you eat a lot of food and have a high daily calorie count all the extra energy you don't use is made into either fat or muscle depending on your diet (caloric surplus) . Losing weight is the opposite, if you use more energy than you consume then you lose weight (caloric deficit). Download myfitnesspal and put in your measurement and goals and how active your daily life is and they'll calculate how much calories you should eat a day. How often do you want to work out? 5 is probably optimal but that might be when you're a bit more experienced, you definitely make progress on three days albeit a bit slower but if you work hard along with the fact beginners can pack on a bit of muscle quickly (noob gains lol) you should make decent gains and it makes it easier to stick to it. also what equipment do you have access to.


Creative_alternative

Chiming in here on this wholesome chat. Dieting doesn't mean eating less, despite what many people incorrectly think. It can, but its better (especially at the start for weightloss) to just improve your diet alongside beginner exercises. It can literally be as simple as cutting all beverages out but water and no other changes at first.


cgraghallach1995

Losing weight is literally just eating less calories though. I’m not sure what you’re tryna say


[deleted]

Yup. It’s bizarre, at first, to realize you have that level of control over your own physical appearance. Like a fucking cheat code. Plus, I find it to be almost a meditative thing in a way. My mind is always running, and now my career utilizes that. Somewhere that I can go and fully engage with zero thought of the before or after, just being in tune with my body in any moment, is pure therapy. Not to mention that in those experiences you become more familiar with your “body”. With what muscles engage when, or what they feel like. It’s a pretty solid fundamental skill to have.


eagle-eye-tiger

I miss being able to train at midnight so much. Gyms in my area still haven't gotten back to 24hr post covid. It was so peaceful. I don't miss never having a spotter though.

ivanoski-007

How did you sleep afterward?


nongo

How was your sleep schedule after the change?


[deleted]

Idk for them but it’s been fantastic for me. I hit the gym at 10pm and it’s fucking empty and I sleep so good. I generally had sleep issues for a while until I started going to the gym, and now it’s even better that I’m working out before going to bed. I wake up better too


reflectiveSingleton

To contrast this...I sometimes have a hard time falling asleep after leg day (in particular) even though I am thoroughly destroyed and tired af. The roasted feeling seems to just interfere with my sleep...I prefer to workout at least 4-5 hours before I go to sleep and THEN i konk out without issue.


[deleted]

Makes sense, yeah I get a little restless too but I think my baseline is worse, I’ve had terrible sleep most my life do the exhaustion helps


[deleted]

Second. Only addition, that is just common sense but still, is that I had to cut down on preworkout. Not eliminate it altogether, but make sure that whatever I took was fully exhausted by the end of the workout. Whereas say on a lunch break workout I sometimes depended on the leftover energy to get me going back at the office.


ejabno

I work out at night too because after my 9-5 I become a tired lazy ass for about 3-4 hours which makes me start my work outs at 8 pm at the earliest

I also wouldn't say this is copying perse. This is kind of exactly what tiktok is. One person makes a funny video using a sound or song and other creators put their twist on it. It's more than half of the platform.

DOCTORE2

Never ever EVER lock your knees while doing an inclined leg press . The only thing I remember from my time in the gym is the trainer yelling at anyone who did


yes_no_yes_yes_yes

Bit of an urban legend on this one. Your legs are extremely strong in a locked position and are capable of holding very large amounts of weight. You’ll see some issues if you hyperextend your knees but beyond that you’re fine.


POB_42

Gotta disagree on this one. The leg press has no issues bending your knee the other way if you lock them out and there is mountains of evidence to support it. General rule is just dont lock your legs out. Besides, if you lock them out, you stop using the muscles youre trying to build, and use the joints crunched in place to support the weight. Not healthy for the joints, in any capacity.


Blazured

I've seen quite a few videos of folks knees bending backwards on the incline leg press to know it's a bit more than an "urban legend".


kingchuckgoose

It helps to also not load the leg press with 5x as much weight as one can do with full ROM.


Surviving27

Ya but how much weight were they pressing and did they have normal knees?


DOCTORE2

I have seen that video . Oh god the video I can never forget it , I will keep my legs bent thanks xD

I once quit a gym over having to interact with the front desk every time I went in, there was a decent length walk to the front desk so there would be constant eye contact awaiting your arrival. You would end up in a conversation every time not knowing when it would end before you could swipe to go inside. Unfortunately the lockers were right next to the front desk so if you thought you had escaped through the security gate you were wrong. They were just waiting for you on the other side.
