vacation in merica posted:Just an FYI, any "research" conducted on supplements isn't legit clinical research and is "conducted" by people paid money by the very companies producing the products. Unless you're roiding the most likely effect from supplements is kidney damage. It's all snake oil. Beta-Alanine isn't like, superpump 5000 or something though. It's just an amino acid that is used to synthesize carnosine.

The only good supplements are the one's from pharmaceutical companies, or China, Taiwan, Russia... And, as posted above, NO Xplode... because nothing is better than making your rear end explode poo poo in a toilet before a race...

Was trying to get my swole on last night(arms day best day) and this loving skinny dude was tying up the preacher curl pad for like 15 minutes doing 10million sets of 40lb curls and loving with his phone. I was internally raging so hard at him for loving up my routine.

We just had an Army division move on base, and along side all of the office buildings and vehicle depots, they built a smaller fitness center on their side of the base. It's only open from 6a-6p on weekdays, but it feels like it's my little secret. I can get there right after work at 4:30ish, and the place is nearly empty. Today at 5pm, when the main gym is packed, there were 9 people in there, including me and my friend. And they even have a squat rack, and a couple of cages that no one uses. At first I wanted to tell people about this magical place, but then I decided gently caress them, this is my secret place where I can get a workout done in an hour without wasting a second waiting on idiots like ^^^

Just a random thought, but the worst thing I'm finding about minimalist running especially on the internet is the sheer amount of  from the people that do itWearing Merrills doesn't make you an enlightened demigod

South park and the smugness of hybrid drivers is about the equivalent to runners and minimalists. Although to be fair I've run in five fingers, and I compete in Newton racing flats.. and they are pretty comfortable.

They either never actually want go to the gym or insist on doing some crazy poo poo like crossfit no wait starting strength no wait cardio every day for two hours bro let's just do preacher curls squats are dumb weights make you fat. Shut the gently caress up and just spot for me.

I was waiting on the pec fly machine in the gym today(lmao what kind of gayby uses machines, right?) while this kid does 7 sets on it. Finally, I ask him "How many more sets?" He responds with a confused look on his face, "Sets?"

I think there is a market out there for a gym where acting like a douche instantly gets your membership card ripped up in front of everyone, and you sent out the front door, FOREVER.

Should you have to show your competence before joining? Like a written test or something? Because I would be down.

Veins McGee posted:Why is that a big deal? "oh no you made a noise with the weights?? get the gently caress out!" It's such a weird thing that everyone tries to be very polite about weight lifting. Like today my last working set was a 365lb deadlift. There was no way I can pull that for reps without sounding like a massive bowel movement is happening.

From the talk I've overheard it's all based upon HOW you're doing it. An individual who's incline benching 120lb dumbbells in his hand probably cannot safely drop the weight without a form of injury, and clanking weights is going to happen with individuals doing specific exercises. But when Joey McWeakQuads gets to the leg extention and is clanking 40 pounds of pure steel grunting his rear end off, it's kind of frowned upon. YMMV I guess. K-State Rec staff doesn't give a gently caress if you're slamming around mean weight, but they get annoyed when you hang clean and press the 10 pound rubber weights and drop it, when it's clear that your body can safely and slowly transfer it back down to the floor.

I've given up on trying to find a workout partner. No, I don't want to hear about your super new workout you read about in NAVY SEAL QUARTERLY and then spend two hours doing it. I just want to put on my headphones, listen to some thrash metal, do my 30 minute workout, and leave.

If you only want to lift for 30 minutes you shouldn't have a workout partner anyways. 30 minutes is fine for one person to get like ~5 lifts in depending on how you're breaking up your workouts, but for a good lift with another person you need like an hour and a half.

Pretty much this. Till I can clone myself or find someone with similar strength goals, working out with a buddy can be fun and all, but goddamn does it take forever compared to just picking up a thing and putting it down solo. I'm gonna miss my manlove thursday squat spotter..

I think you become a douche if you say "hey bro you do know that your 5x5 method is completely not functional strength buiding and you oughta look into this thing they call high..intensity It's kind of a big deal, and you know, we can totally get our WOD on. Oh uh hey I saw you running in those asics and I wanted to let you know you're setting your feet up for failure because uh... you're not running on minimalist shoes.. Yeah you see you need to go back to the paelolithic times and understand that your body wants to run on barefeet Excuse me, I need to tell those people over there the same thing.. It's such a crazy world we live in.on an unrelated note: Does anyone here compete in cyclocross events? let alone cycle?
