The Official Gym & Fitness Thread

IMHO it's really cause they don't care. They sure do f up their health. I knew a guy and his fam when he was 15, he moved to help his brother kick his drug habit, ended up joining him. It was painful hearing updates from his fam on the trouble they'd get in. Hospitalized due to infection. Tooth rotted and nearly killed them. Beat up by islanders for not paying back debts. On the streets for X long due to this or that.

Then some good bit of news, got a job, landed a decent rental, etc., then boom, lost it 'cuz showed up high to work one too many times. Streets again. Some other infection or problem. Nearly died again. Beat up again. Lost more teeth. ... And the pics, we've all seen them, look easily 20-30 yrs older. They're not fine at all. They kill themselves bit by bit.

 

I think it depends on each PED and what performance enhancement we talk about.
Most of them have an upper limit. Like outside of robot hearts and lungs your VO2 max only gets so high even on PEDs.
T is similar from what I understand. You only get so much benefit from so much.

I think it would level the playing field more than natural sports.


It would be interesting to see how things do develop if its ever made legal.

 

Drugs and what they do to their victims is tragic.
I don’t think its that people don’t care its that it consumes them.

I’ve watched family members slip into that life. One has gotten clean (meth) and one has not gotten his shit together. Hes sitting in Fed prison maybe things will change maybe not.

My husbands dad died of an opioid overdose. No one knew he had a problem, not even his kids or his job. Had back surgery and year and a half later, accidental overdose.

It steals your soul. Before you know it, its all thats left and you are lucky to survive it.

 

Finally have my BW stabilized. Not sure what was going on, but all the extra carbs have me feeling really strong. Consistently at 179-180 every morning. From here, I’ll be Adding 20g carbs/day each week until I get up to weight.

 

What is the weight you are trying to get to?

 

182.984

 

Jesus fucking Christ these knee sleeves are stupid hard to put on lol should’ve got a medium

 

Roll them on

 

Yup. Just had a childhood friend pass a month ago from an OD (I think heroin). I wasn’t close with him but my best friend was really good friends with him. He had stopped talking to him more recently due to his using. Its definitely not a “not caring” thing, because his dad has been in very bad health lately and he was helping his mom take care of him both physically and financially. Then he went to using again and that was it. That shit like you said consumes you and is not easy to kick

 

I tried. My poor leg hair and calf lmao.

 

Lolol yep

 

Shave it

but seriously - try the plastic bag trick. You can YouTube it.

I fold mine over themselves and pull them up then flip them out over my knee. If I’m already sweaty that’s when they are harder to get on. The hair catches and pulls. Luckily my gym is cold as balls and it’s also winter, so that won’t be a problem for a while

 

Fucking just getting my foot through the fucker is hard enough lol

 

Or wear long socks that go over your calf and the sleeve will glide right up

 

This is what I do as well.

If you're sweaty you can try putting a little powder on your knee/calf.

 

These are a no go. Gonna get a medium.

 

Quitter

 

It hurts so bad and I can’t roll them up enough. After watching videos on YouTube, it shouldn’t be this hard just to get them started on my calf.

 

Damn thunder thighs.

13% BF shouldn't have issue fitting in a small....

 

But the muscle mass the fucking calf is the hard part to get past it’s not even the thighs!
