badposting is a comm where you post badly


This is not a !the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net alternative. This is not a !memes@hexbear.net alternative. This is a place for you to post your bad posts.

Ever had a really shitty bit idea? Joke you want to take way past the point of where it was funny? Want to feel like a stand-up comedy guy who's been bombing a set for the past 30 minutes straight and at this point is just saying shit to see if people react to it? Really bad pun? A homemade cringe concoction? A cognitohazard that you have birthed into this world and have an urge to spread like chain mail?


Rules:

  1. Do not post good posts.
    • Unauthorized goodposting is to be punished in the manner of commenting the phrase "GOOD post" followed by an emoji that has not yet been used in the thread
    • Use an emoticon/kaomoji/rule-three-abiding ASCII art if the rations run out
  2. This is not a comm where you direct people to other people's bad posts. This is a comm where you post badly.
  3. This rule intentionally left blank.
  4. If you're struck for rule 3, skill issue, not allowed to complain about it.

Code of Conduct applies just as much here as it does everywhere else. Technically, CoC violations are bad posts. On the other hand: L + ratio + get ~~better~~ worse material bozo

Is it safe to do a full body workout every other day? I only have limited days I can get to the gym, and latley instead of doing upperbody or lowerbody I just do full body strenth workouts.

I am trying to gain as much as I can without getting fat.

If I go every other day I will be at the gym 4-5 times a week, is that over training?

owel why are you doing this

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 3 points 16 hours ago

Because funi :3

[–] Moss@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago (2 children)

By observing the French Republican calendar, which has 10 days in a week, you can work out 5 times a week every other day

Hai guys. Can you critique my new routine?

Sun: Legs

Mon: Chest/Tris

Tues: Back/bis

Wed: Shoulders

Thurs: Legs

Fri: Chest/Tris

Sat: Back/bis

Sun: Shoulders

What I like about this routine is, that I get to work out 8 days each week. But, is this overtraining??

[–] xXShadowXx@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

So the issue I see here is that you have listed 8 days.

In school I was taught about 7-day sequences, so I'm unable to process your list. Hope that helps!

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

You are not getting it, it's simple, just look at the calender and COUNT THE DAYS.

If you want to gain muscle/size I recommend the 5/3/1 boring but big program. I've been lifting for years and always come back to this.

[–] Sulvor@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Um if you go to the gym every other day, that’s actually 3.5 days a week.

Where did you get 4-5???

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Monday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday. That is 4 days. Duh.

How do you goe 3.5 times? Half a workout or something??? Lol

[–] urmums401k@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago

No you just work out only half in the gym during dawn or dusk when its only half day.

[–] Sulvor@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don’t do half workouts, okay?

If you’re going every other day, then the next week you would do Tu Thu Sat. 4 one week, 3 the next.

4+3=7

7/2=3.5

Do you own a calendar?

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Ummm yes I do own a calender you unswole weakling. I start on MONDAY okay? Get that through your head.

I know math I go to Colledge OKAY

[–] Sulvor@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Okay brianiac. If you start on Monday every week and do M W F Su, you would have to perform your full body workout Sunday and Monday. TWO CONSECUTIVE DAYS. That is no longer a full body workout every other day unless you have some sort of Time Machine.

I find it hard to believe you went to college when you cannot even understand grade 2 math.

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

No, you don't count the sunday you just roll over to the next week that's why it's 4-5 omg you clearly don't get enough protein maybe your muscles are swole but you brain is NOT

Mayb if U went to colleg ud understand...

[–] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 2 points 20 hours ago (1 children)

Why not just work out every other day and don't bother counting the weeks?

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 12 points 1 day ago (4 children)

I'm pretty sure I remember stumbling onto this thread from a workout forum a few months ago but I can't find it so I might have hallucinated it. I can't tell if sulvor is in on it, just playing the part perfectly on accident, or if I'm completely misremembering something that didn't happen.

[–] Sulvor@hexbear.net 3 points 23 hours ago

Wow I can’t believe this is still going, what is with you people? All muscle no brain huh lol

[–] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 5 points 1 day ago (1 children)

The Dumbest Boy Alive is a rundown of the thread. Yeah, i was getting some flashbacks too for a second.

[–] SchillMenaker@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago

Sunday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I would not survive this interaction.

[–] Pili@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

Yeah you remember right, it was a thread from 2008 and that forum seems to be dead now unfortunately.

[–] Gorb@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

Every day is nipple day. My nipples are ROTUND.

[–] abc@hexbear.net 6 points 1 day ago

so sudden you hear the quiet summer breeze outside

i can't tell you what it's gonna be, i'd lie

out of credit i hear you suffer breath out loud

you know you're in it to see the summit

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

The fastest way to do it is the +500 calorie surplus for a few months and then the -500 calorie deficit. Not wanting to get fat is getting in the way, giving you more mediocre results, and making the process slower and more frustrating (in my opinion).

If you're a nooby little bird brained bird then any kind of workout is probably going to give you gains. If the strength gains plateau then so does the progress and then you're just pushing a bunch of silly things around for silly reasons. You won't get that stimulus response that tells your body to make all the cool stuff unless you can put up bigger numbers on your lifts week over week. We have the stickies from the... other websites in our sidebar on c/fitness

It sounds like a lot of reps on every muscle every week. Reminds me of this short, poignant video that I found deep within the archives of my computer soul https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYQDo1tNCl8

It might not be overtraining because you might not be using heavy ass weights and if it were overtraining you would feel it and you wouldn't really have to ask.

So you want to train five days a week? That sounds a little excessive

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 9 points 1 day ago

No you don't get it it's the only way to get swole
