ebook converter
CLI ebook reader
A posix compliant shell

My good friend did several tours with the Canadian military and said that by far the most dangerous thing in Afghanistan were the Americans. Now he has ptsd
Or stop resisting
Yep, you could use your iPad as your primary device if Apple would let you, but they’re never gonna let it run OSX
Yeah you can generally tell, the neck and shoulders have more androgen receptors so they will typically have bulbous shoulders, oversized traps and a thick neck. Other giveaways are early balding, back acne, and rapid muscle gain. And huge mass monsters are pretty obvious. If you were really interested you could take a look at Jesse James West on YouTube. He’s about the peak muscularity someone can reasonably achieve without steroids outside of genetically gifted individuals. He interviews gym girls often and they rate him so low haha.
Steroids or nobody likes you
Bigorexia is a real thing nowadays. The male body standard inflation on social media is just wild… unless you’re on gear, cut down to 6% body fat and in good lighting you’d get ratio’d into oblivion
Full Body 1000% Awesome from 5/3/1 Forever is basically the same thing as Tactical Barbell, so if for whatever reason you needed a break from BBB you could try a cycle of that and see how you feel about the full body split without leaving the 5/3/1 ecosystem. And Jim has a few templates with widowmaker squats if you’re ever up for a challenge. Always happy to bump into other fediverse lifters, there are literally dozens of us!
The fitness wiki is a fantastic resource +1 for that suggestion!
I started with GZCLP and followed with 5/3/1 for Beginners and then a few other 5/3/1 templates. The most eye-opening/fun would have to be super squats for sure. 20 rep squats and a gallon of whole milk per day really pushes a person.
Eventually I settled on tactical barbell which seems to work well for me. I’m in my 40s and prefer staying away from heavy 1 reps. TB is higher frequency compound lifts with squat, bench and weighted pullups 3x per week and deadlift 1x per week. It’s marketed towards first responders and military people who need to have gas in the tank for their day job but I feel that also applies to normal folks who care about strength and longevity not wanting to be completely wiped out from workouts. They have a book focused on mass with lower intensities (8/6/3 rep weeks) so that’s probably where I’ll stay for a while.
How about yourself? What did you start with and where did you end up?
