Going out I have lots of vegan options so that isn't an issue generally. And am not rigid in my principles, being a bit moderate makes me less of an obnoxious cunt. Easier to cook for, take along on outings etc.

If I hold hard on any principle it is that to not let perfect stand in the way of good. Being able to do 90% ethical consumption I find to be much better than failing to be 100% pure.

I'm kinda in this camp as well. Barely eat any meat and the meat I do buy is from small local producers where I can meet (hihi) and greet the animals.

Year long lowest possible to keep whatever fluids are in the radiators flowing. Not off but not too on either. And then open windows to regulate temperature.

My building is hot OK...

Haven't played any civ in ages but there should (could) be a setting "Only War" or something similar that makes everyone hostile to eachother. Or there may be a mod to the same effect.

It would be more work, more dishes etc. And the heterogeneity is nice.

Because it gives me stability to enjoy life. Simple as that. One part of the life puzzle.

A bench, adjustable dumbbells and a pullup bar will get you there. Lots of home/garage gym information out there. And then there is body weight training, yoga etc if you don't want to work with weights.

But then there is the motivation and discipline factors. For me it is easy to put on a workout video but also easy to not really put in any effort. I'm bad at holding myself accountable at home. So instead I go the gym. One should also never ignore the social aspect of hitting the gym even if you seal yourself off with headphones and never talk to anyone. You do become part of the group/scene. And if your gym offers them I will recommend classes.

I feel called out. Why do you call me out in such a mean way? I may shed a tear. But please look at my arms as I wipe it off [flexes]

 

Hi y'all. So I'm closing in on a full year at the gym. For the second time in my life I'm doing it, last time was 15-20 years ago. I'm down, I'm up and I've got the best/most fun body I've had in at least 15 years.

So naturally with a bit of retro- and instrospection I think of what is working for me. I go on loooots of classes, having someone tell me what to do and get energy from others around me is super-duper awesome. From spinning to strength-cardio and dance (I did not see my fondness for that a year ago). Working classes into my schedule often takes me to the gym 30-35 minutes early and I've been using that time doing "random" strength stuff.

But perhaps time for me to get some organization going for my self-guided pre- and/or post class workouts. And since I like moving my "new" body around I think of supersetting big(?) strength exercises with mobility work. For example squats with dead hang (or eccentric pull ups to dead hang).

So let me have your favorite mobility inserts into super sets!

Strength exercises I especially enjoy

  • Squats (including sumo)
  • Romanian deadlifts (including single leg variant)
  • Overhead press
  • Rows (barbell, alternating gorilla)
  • Kettlebell ABCs (one KB, two KB) (I know not 100% a strength exercise)

Side note: Reading the list above makes me realize I need to find some arm and chest exercise variants to enjoy

 
 

FOR KARL!

 

A fun band. Lots of skin, lots of sexy bodies. And then there is "the Voice of the Gods" whose magnificence overshadows all. On the vocal side the band is well wrought and the three vocalists plays off eachother almost like a classic boy band from the late 90's.

 

While I do love Eluveite I cannot listen to them for longer periods of time. Just so full of everything and then some. It gets discordant tiring. Still good in a mix.

 

Let's stretch my theme for the evening. Just a duo between the chaotic maniacs of Alestorm and Patty Gurdy. Well produced and everything fits well together. Very good drinking music.

 

Ahhhh Alissa White-Gluz, in my opinion the queen of the harsh melodic death metal. Growls but the higher pitches does come through. Can listen to Arch Enemy for long periods without getting fatigued, that does say something.

 

Let's take the vocals a bit harsher. Still clear by metal standards but I find Noora Louhimo's vocal more in line with the rest. Much less of a contrast compared to (for example) Nightwish.

 

Nightwish featuring Tarja. It is nice to listen to the "peak" of their vocalists. Her voice does fit the band's sound. It is all about the contrasts. And you can hear her (by then) classical training.

Old Nightwish. According to Spotify their most played track.

 

Title. Classic Swedish anti-consumerist song-contest-song.
