I'm playing on a laptop, i'm a variety gamer. I touch pretty much everything except pc specific games since i've always played on a controller and I don't have a setup to play on mouse and keyboard. Right now i'm playing God of War, Terminator Resistance and Death Stranding. All of those games I got on sale for very cheap…

5'7 125lbs? That's my guess

That's pretty much me except for the tattoos and piercings. Also a reddish color beard and dark hair when I used to have hair :D .

I'm more curious as to what is considered tall, short or average in today's standards. Last I checked the average American man is 1m77, which is 5'9.5.

«If it fits your macros» :D . To me it's a good source of carbs and the bloating is less compared to whole wheat pasta.

I just ate three of those, just the noodles and the seasonings without water. Great source of energy :

In general I like them yes, they are the less bullshitty in terms of fitness youtubers. I don't know about their programs, but sometimes I check the channel for exercise demo.

Like this?

It's why I train at home, I can moan and scream all I want :D

I haven't seen those in any grocery stores, i'll have to order them online.

A very good article about the subject of dark chocolate : https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2018/mar/25/chocolate-the-dark-truth-is-it-good-for-you-health-wellbeing-blood-pressure-flavanols «Such studies have generated hundreds of media reports that exaggerate their findings, and omit key details and caveats.…

My calorie intake is 3500-4000 on most days so for me it's really not that much. I say health food but i'm really talking about nutrient density whether it's fiber content, vitamins, minerals or antioxidants. Dark chocolate does seem to be somewhat high in minerals : https://nutritiondata.self.com/facts/sweets/10638/2 It…

Always 70% organic dark chocolate from Theobroma. Sometimes i'll go 80% cacao, but 70% tastes better.

I know it may be a bit silly, but I eat a giant bowl of pasta before I go to bed and it works pretty well. Cause carbs will increase serotonin, at least temporarily. I don't even care about gaining weight at this point I just want to sleep.

I'm not even sure if I should take you seriously, I can post pictures of myself at 18 years old with a bmi of 27 while lean. I was not a professional athlete just a regular dude who lift weights at the gym.

A man can lift for three months and be at an overweight bmi while lean. If an 18 year old start lifting weights somewhat seriously for a year with minimal fat gain then bmi is not going to apply to him. Saying that it only applies to professional athletes is a hilarious statement. You don't have to be a professional…

I'm a man but i'll post anyway :D :

If you're this person it may look good, but most of the time no :

I didn't like vegetables as a kid and I still don't like them today. But now I have the freedom to not eat them. Most vegetables are almost devoid of energy (calories), it's not in our natural instincts to consume them. Eating vegetables is almost the equivalent of eating nothing in terms of energy. It's why the majority…

Those rows looked really heavy :o

I never said it did. I was talking about professional because the defnition of success is so vague it has yet to be defined here. So my post was about professional success.

Ok, but if you were to do shrugs is it better to go really heavy or lighter weight with better mind muscle connection?

Yes they respond very easily, I really dont know if it's worth training them directly.

It comes down to personality traits and genetics. The phrase anyone can succeed is funny, someone with an IQ of 85 can never become a lawyer no matter how hard he tries. Intellectual capabilities are not evenly distributed in the population.

I think 3 rowing movements may be a bit too much. The T bar row is a great exercise but the seated row doesn't serve any purpose here considering you can work one side at a time with the one arm dumbbell row. Seated rows can go. Also is the db curl standing, one arm at a time or simultaneously?

So it can make you look narrower. For certain people they might want to avoid training traps. Is it necessary to go heavy on shrugs? Cause it's really easy to add weight on this exercise.

Ok, i've also heard that having overdevelopped upper traps is bad for shoulder health? I may start training them in higher reps, cause they grow very easily in my case.

I never said anything about the merit of that system, i'm simply saying we are very similar to nordic countries. And if we bring this logic to its logical conclusion , why don't we abolish the government or any form of taxation? You want taxation, you just don't agree on where it should be spent.
