It's at the base chapel, so I knew there'd be some extra hoops. I understand anything I'd do for Wednesday would be for his fellow airmen, mom, and girlfriend down there. I found about the service down there from a mutual college friend who's also on base. Been talking to her, but wanted some outside perspective. Don't want to be a burden, but want to support friends of my friend. :edit: gently caress, this is a lovely snipe. gimme a second. Mike Ness is heartwarming. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DV8Y5wQklJw Brute Squad fucked around with this message at 06:48 on Jan 7, 2020 |

Any of you guys lift a lot? I've been lifting for years but usually only 3, maybe 4 days a week because I had to balance it with also doing Army PT. But now I'm out of the Army and focusing exclusively on lifting and started a 6 days a week program, essentially Legs/Push/Pull each twice a week. What I'm running into is when I wake up in the morning I feel wrecked and lethargic as hell and if lifting first thing in the morning also I feel weaker than normal. I feel fine if I lift around lunch or later. Never ran into this issue where I feel so worn out when I wake up.

Are you getting enough sleep? When I did heavy lifting (a long time ago) if I got less than 8 hours a day I was a wreck.

Back off a touch and see how you feel? 6 days a week feels like a ton. I still lift, but it’s like 4 days a week at most (and rarely that). My job is scuba diving and hauling up marine debris, so I’ve got times where I’m physiologically banned from working out (exertion within 24hrs of a dive is correlated with decompression sickness) or I’ve been hauling heavy poo poo to/from our boats and I’m just a bit too beat to go to the gym after work.

Seriously do a group spin class or yoga on your off days, lets your muscles recover and the cardio and stretching helps you more over time.

Sounds like an acute case of "old" to me. It's a pretty common disease I believe. Symptoms also include feeling like total poo poo after a drinking night you used to be able to shrug off, and thinking about your lawn a lot.

I eat pretty good, generally around 180-190 grams of protein a day. The workouts themselves aren't super intense, usually no more than an hour and I actually enjoy them a lot and definitely feel like I'm consistently making gains. It just takes me like an hour to not feel like I just got hit by a freight train in the mornings. My sleep definitely sucks though, even though I'm in bed for at least 8 hours a night. Not sure why I have trouble staying asleep. It's not so much being wide awake in bed as it is being aware that I'm waking up a million times every night. I definitely dream a lot which is weird for how often I wake up.

Get your rear end a sleep study. That poo poo's not something to casually dismiss. hosed up sleep fucks you up everywhere.

If you're working right now you might wanna cut it down to 4 times a week with some cardio and stretching on other days.

It's got less to do with how many days or total hours a week you're lifting, and more to do with what you did before versus what you're doing now in a retrospective sense. Used to 4x a week 1 hour a day? Cool. Used to 6x a week 1 hour a day? Also cool. Going from 4x a week to 6x a week? It's going to take time to get used to the increase in weekly training volume. Your body can positively adapt to some really insane poo poo so long as it's done in a carefully progressive manner, but increasing your weekly fatigue accumulation by half again what you're used to is going to be a little rough for a while.

Valium's a benzo, not an opiate.

Valium isn’t an opioid broheim. It’s a benzo, and it’s benign short of huge doses or mixing with lots of other downers.

Klonopin was really, really popular with a lot of the heroin addicts I encountered. Not sure why. After you've heard the "well, it all started with a Vicodin prescription six years ago and now I'm a heroin addict" story a few dozen times at work you develop a healthy fear of pill-happy prescription doctors. It's great we have all these medications, and I trust my doctor, but when the dentist tried to give me a Percoset prescription after dental surgery I just embraced the suck and suffered for a few days. For another, non-dental incident, post-surgery when I was in the hospital and I was watching the clock for the nurse to come around with happy pill because I was in pain? Yeah, I took that poo poo. Declined the take home prescription offer. I know my limits.

My dad had half of a lung removed over the summer. Doctors sent him home with 45 vicodin with an open prescription for as many refills as he needed. The albuterol breathing treatments needed two approvals before the initial treatment was filled.

Plus 1mg of Klonopin is the equivalent of 10mg of Valium. So there’s a dosing angle. Addicts are strange creatures.

I always add one extra hour of sleep as a rule of thumb when I train, whether running or weights or the pool. If you're lifting first thing your blood sugar is also likely to be pretty low. For what it's worth, don't disregard cardio in addition to the lifting. It's been my experience that the two can really not just coexist but also help each other - running gives me oxygen uptake that really aids during the long tail of squat sets and deadlifts, and the explosive strength I gain from the squats/DLs give me a longer stride and higher speed on the runs. Same with bench and swimming. Force de Fappe fucked around with this message at 10:55 on Jan 8, 2020 |

Swimming is the quiet way to get some serious workouts, in my mind. The water keeps you cool, the water gives a shitload of resistance, and it doesn't put up with any cheating. Different strokes can work almost whatever muscle group you want to target, with the benefit of getting some good cardio at the same time. I need to get back to it, but I was doing 4x half-mile sets with mask/fins/snorkel in the span of an hour before the weather cooled down here and I got hyper-busy  The only drawback I see is because you don't get all hot/sweaty while swimming, you skip straight to the "I want to stuff all of the food straight into my mouth-hole" stage of post-workout fairly quick. My solution was to time it to where I'm getting out of the water and going straight home for dinner at a normal-ish time, but if you can't time it like that maybe a small snack or a normal coffee afterwards (caffeine has a slight effect of suppressing appetite) could do the trick too.

I just chug a small chocolate milk (like 3dl) and maybe a banana if I feel like it. Gets me past the CONSUME stage nicely. And you're only cool as you go, the moment you get out your're warm as a toaster  Bonus points for swimming is that it really helps my mind settle. It's kinda yoga-like, with the reglemented breathing and the focus on technique. It's awesome, especially if I hit the sauna after.

I’d love to get more into freediving, it’s even more zen than how you see swimming. Being 40ft down without any dive gear on is it’s own kind of peaceful (until your body gives you the “I WANT TO BREATHE, YOU DUMBFUCK” signal )

Hey McNally, was it you that said you wanted to go to Uni of Edinburgh for history (Civil War I think)?
