GAINZZZZ Thread
I have no gains, except some shelf- and tv-mount- based gains.
But maybe you do. What are you doing to get your GAINZZZ? What kind of GAINZZZ are you gainzzzing? What kind of GAINZZZ are you planning to gainz? Semi-related: The patron saints of GAINZZZ, the Hodge Twins first predicted the Bubba Wallace thing was a hoax, then gloated when the hoax status was confirmed.Comments

Also, owing to age 29, I'm doing the Eugene Sandow style of weight lifting which is very light weights but I can do it everyday. I also rebound which is a small trampoline which is great for the lymphatic system.
Finally, I'm now a lacto-ovo-pescatarian. I eat eggs, dairy and fish.

ACDF surgery 8 weeks ago.
2 weeks with the cone of shame, no driving.
10 lb weight restriction.
Now just starting rehab.
Long story short, my c4 and c5 had collapsed onto each other and my nerves were pinched to the point of sending no signal.
Muscles atrophied, lotsa pain.
Recently had something in the arm most affected, which in the past was so weakened that in order to raise a gallon of milk to the counter top meant swinging my arm and dropping it, and when I tried to lift it, my arm actually responded!

Six months ago, I had reached a 45 minutes a day, 3 days a week pace. Thanks to the lockdown, I'm down to 30 minutes a day, one day a week. And if I hadn't managed to repair the elliptical at home, I wouldn't even get that much.

Cardio for me is reading the news and having my systolic bust through 230 while my respirations approach 30. I have 3 new locations for radiating chest pains so that's a development.

Trying to muscle through irritating arthritic joint pain and back pain and older age in general with an old hobby. Golf.
At least I’m trying. I am in a beer league. Not playing well at all, but I am doing something I used to enjoy and was good at.
I used to have a scratch handicap for 18 holes. My lowest score ever was 64. Once birdied the first six holes at Torrey Pines North. I fell apart after that, but it is something to think fondly of. It was awesome and I will never forget it.
Now I am shooting 46-55 for nine holes on a 6200 yard course. Still not a good walk spoiled though. thank God. I suck but I do not give a fuck.

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. - Florida banned alcohol consumption at its

The Florida agency that governs bars announced the ban on
Twitter, minutes after the Department of Health reported 8,942 new
confirmed cases, topping the previous record of 5,500 set Wednesday.

Knees are shot, but slowly increasing squats to 170 now.
Deadlifts slow, want to work on proper form to stop injury, 175 now.
Gained about 5 pounds, looks to be mostly muscle. Pants aren't getting tighter.

50 pounds lost since starting working in it 6 months ago. I was really made rapid progress until shutdown happened, then everything paused for 2 months of eating, gym closure and listless depression in which I put 8 pounds back on. I've since lost those 8 plus another 6.
If everything goes according to plans. I should hit my target weight by October.

Take care of yourselves, especially now. Better to fight off illnesses and illdems.
Tried to put together a nice mostly lowfat/calorie dinner tonight to ring in the weekend and an extended holiday for us. Did not eat all day, just tasting for spices, etc. Was too busy to eat and the time flew by in the kitchen.
- Lamb Meatballs with Yogurt Sauce (Fresh mint!). Grilling them.
- Grilled Shrimp, marinated all day. They are on their skewers ready and waiting.
- Herbed Spinach Dip (only fatty one)
- Rosemary and Garlic White Bean Dip
Dips served with crudites only. Veggies. No cheese or bread tonight.
But wine.... the wine will flow.

Also, very good for the weekend, below.
Skip to 2:18:00 or so and listen.

Given the circumstances, I've been eating way more carbs than I should. I used to do keto
I hated going to gym and working out heavy and not feel like I could have the protein to make use of it. So I probably had too much protein.
Either way it was depressing not eating any carbs and not losing any weight. Good for blood sugars though.

Well I started out with 15 burpees the first day and just progressed. I'm still doing them in a fairly wimpy manner: sets of ten with minimal rest. I do 50 in the morning and 50 in the afternoon. Now that I'm going back to work I need to do them all in the morning so I'm experimenting with larger sets. I did a couple sets of 25 back to back and wanted to die. I'm a skinny fat ectomorph, and even in my crazy gym rat days I never looked big. It's a surprise to find this type of training suits my body type better. My 29 year old moobs are suddenly looking like pecs. Shoulders triceps and surprising biceps are all bigger. I've never gotten a bicep pump from doing push ups but my biceps get a huge pump from burpees. No idea why.

Learned about this back in the 90s when we all did push, pull, and leg days separately.
Doing full workouts are far more productive because tearing up the bigger muscle groups like quads and hams recruits a much bigger damage control and repair chemical response that benefits every other group you work.

I guess I'll have to cut out the cherry rum and Pepsi Zero at night, and my Coffeemate creamer. Those are the big cheats. I did find a great fat bomb recipe - 4 oz cream cheese mixed with 4 oz of butter from grass-fed cows. I use erythritol to sweeten, plus lemon zest. Yummy!

Best lossezzz of all - a bad boss - and I say that as having been a boss for 30 years.
A bad boss just destroys a person - to have to get up and go into a work place where you're being psychologically tortured every day is simply the worst feeling of dread you can feel - a spouse often can't understand that if they haven't felt it themselves. You want to run - you want to try anything as a new job...shrimp boat captain, farmer, traffic cone...wait, where was I? Oh yeah, I absolutely hate bad bosses.

Main bicep pump for me is the pull-ups and the bodyweight rows. I used to do chin-ups (i.e. it's a pull up with your palms facing in at shoulder width) but they're kind of the lowest priority so I haven't gotten to re-adding them to the workout this time through.
More than a pull-up bar, I recommend getting olympic rings, Best 100 bucks I ever spent on workout equipment.

Well, yes, it is a second wave if when the cases are dropping, they turn around and you see another wave on the graph.
If you look into it carefully, the reason why there were more deaths in the second wave of the Spanish Flu looks to be iatrogenic rather than some real function of the bug itself: prescribing too much penicillin. The "they isolated strong versions of the flu" story was always cope.
We got most of our iatrogenic deaths out of the way the first time, being less competent, in the form of ventilator misuse and sending extra crownbug patients to nursing homes.
By the look of Russia and Germany, you can have extreme levels of this thing but not get too many deaths if you're not ... stupid
"Close the borders" seems like a solution to so many problems because it is!
Posted by: Radio Control Submarine Unit #2 at June 26, 2020 05:19 PM (Eg9+v)
Case #s mean little in themselves.
Demos of positives mean everything (narrator: the increases are all in much younger cohorts = less fatal than flu)
Even fatality rates of hopsitalized + ICU dropping bigly
Every new study using more data points to wider prevalence (good) and even earlier advent
"Mitigation" doesn't have material impact.

He was praising certain states for doing 'good work.' A non-critical listener would think he was praising states with low numbers, but if you were listening critically as I was, what he was actually saying was that the 'good work' was in following *HIS* guidelines.

Interesting fact, proportional to their population, blacks are disproportionately victims of the crownbug, both in cases and deaths.
I guess the truth is that the progs still believe what they did in february which is that racism is the real health crisis (though of course crownbug probably killed more black folks in the first six months of this year than lynchings did over 100 years, but who is counting?!)

Sadly, most public officials, even Republicans are c*cked on the race issue. They worship MLK like a saint and are constantly looking for opportunities to Look Anti-Racist. This is true of Trump too, to a very large extent.
I don't see why they don't just keep things open with the masks and contact tracing for people who got infected. If we had done that to begin with we wouldn't be in recession territory.
Masks are not really needed at beaches or parks, though of course I would never be in a large gathering, even outdoors, where people are close to one another, without one.
People think this is mendacity on the part of our government, but it's really just broad scale failure/incompetence. Half of anarcho-tyranny is just the inability of governing authorities to comprehend an effective response, so they keep doing ineffective things that annoy and aggravate common people.

From Costco mohawk top o da line with pergo tech
Long story short hubby hates the stuff and it took him forever and he ended up buying every install tool he coukd and brute forcing them
they don't click
when the do click they unclick 2 boards later
and the problem is end to end (not the long edge with the ridges) the shortedges

If they were truly madman level cynically brilliant, the left would put pressure on localities everywhere to compel them to exempt blacks from mask wearing, and then whip them into public confessions and contrition when blacks die of the crownbug.
"You just wanted to make Black Lives Matter, but you LET BLACK PEOPLE DOWN!" and not a one of these quislings would have the balls to say "you were the guys who pressured everyone into this, you are going to own this L"
Day to day, I'm just glad to have a job and a family, and plans to get as far from blast zone with like-minded people as possible.

George P. Bush, his father is Jeb, his mother is Mexican. He's the little brown cabana boy Bush. The Bush's say its okay because she's a really, really rich Mexican, kinda like Carlos Slim. Well that lets you know all the hopes and dreams the Bush family has for the next generation.

Why don't we just pretend that wearing a green plastic bracelet around our left wrist (as useful as a mask) confers immunity (elderly and diabetics and those with pulmonary issues can continue to follow real science and common sense and just limit their exposure), and go about our business.
One of the best independent statistical analysts of all this, who looks at things from a top-line perspective (actually the way public health is *supposed* to work), has declared C19 over. He means "excess deaths" above long-term average baseline just passed *below* average this past week.
Even more interesting is his analysis that "lockdown deaths" (excess deaths attributable to lockdown issues - deferred medical care and testing, stress-related deaths due to lockdown effects, etc) are about 50% of actual "died OF C19" deaths. "Died with" (will take time to do a best reasonable sorting of that messy data category) is about the same as "lockdown" deaths.
So you've got (as of now) 76K C19 deaths, 34K "died with" C19 deaths, and 36K "lockdown" deaths. The public health types can scoff at the lockdown death concept, and then go review their basic research and doctrine, which advise against lockdowns of an already "prevalent" virus *for exactly this reason*.

+15# in 14 weeks. Hoping to get 225 press, 315 bench, and 500+ deadlift in a couple weeks.

Are your wilks at 1000? If so, you may qualify for being one of the "1000 1000's"
(iirc that's max bench + max dl + max squat)

I know I've heard of this sort of shyt happening somewhere. Black people's demands are met, they get fucked, whites are blamed for Black people's failure.
Maybe in those kooky home loans? I think I heard it there.
I predict we will also hear someday that affirmative action was an evil white machination to weaken Black intellectualism -- and there's truth to that as long as you acknowledge it's white LIBERALS doing it.

Masks are almost universally without value, and contact tracing is by
definition pointless at a "prevalence" we probably had months ago, much
less now.
Posted by: rhomboid at June 26, 2020 05:45 PM (El6T/)
Masks are pretty much the only thing that works. I don't know why you base your understanding on Obama-era CDC bullshit, but man, people who aren't idiots were saying in FEBRUARY that even surgical masks are effective; perhaps slightly less, but the difference is negligible.
Note that China and Chinese officials are still wearing masks all the time and every country that tackled this, that had any infection group of any appreciable size, used masks.
The key is that if people are super-inconsistent about mask usage when around people who might be infected, sure, they aren't going to work. But even then, SOME mask usage will be better than NO mask usage. The only thing I find idiotic about the whole thing is the insistence of some people on wearing masks in situations where it doesn't matter, like if you're walking in the park.
Anyway the part that you're missing here is that even masks that are basically not a hassle at all to wear properly like basic-ass surgical masks, do fine.
From the perspective of 'f--k everyone else in this stupid incompetent country' I agree 100%, but that agreement doesn't touch basic facts.
Closing borders seems to have been the best solution though

"You [Bubba] are the reason affirmative action doesn't work - you SUCK!"
That is precious.

Another problem arises when we look at the use of masks by the public. Even accepting the uncertain premise that masks are useful, "incorrect use and disposal may actually increase the risk of pathogen transmission, rather than reduce it, especially when masks are used by non-professionals such as the lay public." Given that most "masks" are simply kept handy for use when required, set aside, and then re-used, most mask-wearing by the public is likely to increase virus exposure, not reduce it.

Sometimes they get soap and water then the dryer.
Third, they get set aside for a day then reused.
Critique.
