Podcasts are the fucking best for my cardio workouts. Just did a hard 40 minutes on the bike and it flew by listening to Blueprint for Armageddon. Blurs the subconscious timekeeping problem I have with listening to music. Following with weights I'm more focused on counting my reps so I put music on, but when it's a run or a bike podcast transform the exercise into sweaty white noise. Love it.

Challenging myself to see how long it takes me breach onto the 85kg mark. I'm currently 93kg, after having lost ~20+kg down to ~88kg last year. Stacked on that bit more due to nabbing the goddamn office job. General exercise has always been part of the routine, but I want to return to more focused, scheduled, regular hard workouts. Plus it'll help me fit into my weird American sized tshirt with less dad-bod.

And that's the end of that diary entry.

I really gotta start working out

What would you recommend as a starter?

I cannot recommend enough Les Mills' fitness programmes.

Bodypump and Bodycombat are just plain fun. You also get the combined benefits from high intensity cardio with strenght training. While they are not the most efficient for building mass, they are fantastic to get fit and trimmed, specially with some dieting.

Bodycombat may destroy you as a newbye, though. Try Bodypump before -or do some heavy threadmill work- or you'll never want to return to class.

Depends your goals. You're not what I'd call overweight (unless you've changed since we last met), so you need to outline your achievements. For me it was straight up being overweight. Gastrointestinal issues lead to advice from a specialist to, first and foremost, lose as much weight as realistically possible to bring myself down to a healthy balance. At the time I chose to commit myself 100% to maximising weightless between then and my next appointment, going down the path of a strict keto diet with a daily workout of 20 - 30 minute high intensity exercise bike and weights. I dropped weight like you wouldn't believe.

If your goal is to bulk or something I can't really help you as I don't know much about that. That being said cardio is great for everything, and it combined with some general weight usage works wonders for bringing general fitness up to a higher stand and keeps your muscles toned.

HGH and TRT sound awesome until you realise that nearly no respected doctor is willing to do that outside of patients with actual medical conditions, much less for cheap. That leaves you with the kind of providers, "knowledge" and formulas typically used by bodybuilders, which, hum.

don't encourage him :mad:




The difficulty ramps up a lot near the end, but it's worth it.

I wish more people made games like Catherine.
I'm stuck on Day 4, currently. There's EIGHT days, so... D:

I do like the mature atmosphere in this game, if only because it's so different from 100% of other anime-style games.

Re: working out: As I say a lot, I run every day, and that is some kind of God damn miracle for me as I am an inherently lazy man who hates moving his body. I really wish I had the discipline or drive to lift/do more structured cardio, but I think I'm at peace with running an hour a day right now.

I just can't stand structured fitness classes personally, I like to lift my weights and run my miles, I don't even like a gym buddy to encourage me and I only have someone around to spot me whilst I lift heavy

Catherine is quite a gem in my opinion, I hate the people who call it a tech demo for P5 (Even if it's kinda true)

Yea, i know. But sometimes I can't help but feel like I'm in the wrong somehow.

I'm with Jobbs on this one. I get so much shit for liking some of the things I like around here but who cares? At the end of the day the person that has to live with what you enjoy is you. Who is anyone else to effect that?

I do enjoy learning about cool new stuff from people though.

I used to look down on others for not sharing my opinion (because I was a shithead kid like most kids) but now I love disagreeing with people. It shows that there are other ways of viewing things besides my own, and broadens my perspective on life as a whole to hear why someone likes something I don't.

Watching Community bloopers, judging by the show I would have never guessed the cast is so crude on set, Alison Brie mimes giving Chevy Chase a bj at one point in season 3.

Community was the best. It will always hold a special place in my heart since I watched the whole thing while I was out of work for two months last year when I first got sick

I still haven't watched season 6, they still haven't added it to the netflix here in England.

Bodybuilding.com is so weird. Like in Iraq or Afghanistan it took most things 2 to 3 weeks to be delivered, but bodybuilding orders took like 3 days.

Your troops are known for being workout fanatics, the bro's at bb.com were probably just looking out for their fellow gym rats.
